The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 47

Chapter 47: Meeting again

Anya needed not telling who it was. His gaze threatened to burn a hole through her. She just did not understand why he was staring so much. She had regretted taking on this project. But as time went on, she regretted it even more.

James saw that Daniel could not keep his eyes off Anya; it was as though he wished to burn at hole through her being. He knew his friend was hurt, but there was nothing that could be done at this point but take things slowly. If he kept staring at her, so many people would start to notice. He cleared his throat, pulling Daniel from his daze.

Daniel couldn't help himself. He had never really looked at Anya well all through their marriage. He was only now discovering that she was so beautiful. He felt lost when he lost her, but as he looked at her now, it was as though he was tasting the first nectar of love. But no matter how much he looked, his Anya refused to look his way. The more she ignored him, the more his frustration grew.

But his frustration extended past her indifference. He could not help but notice that Anya was quite close to Stanley. He leaned into her too often; it was an eyesore. He was not the only one who noticed this; James had already noticed their closeness. Even though they were not dating, they were obviously friends. It did not help that Stanley had this rare, soft look in his eyes when he looked at Anya. James could feel the mood of the person beside him dip dangerously.

"So, Mr. Forest, how do you and Miss Jones know each other?" James asked.

"We went to the same university," Stanley answered.

"Oh, boss, you knew Anya all this while, and you did not introduce us?" Someone asked Stanley, which led to a barrage of questions from his staff.

"Boss, you know I have been a fan this long; how could you do this to me?"

scoffed in her heart. Always so strict and serious, while taking no breaks, she scoffed at Daniel. She was used to this side of him; his words were precious as gold. Unless it was something important, he would not even bother to talk. After a while of talking, Daniel got up and expressed to leave to the shock of James. He had thought

this gathering from the moment she walked in. She only came as a favor to Stanley. She was not sure what kept her this long. For some reason, Daniel's heavy stare kept her in her seat. When he left, she was suddenly drained. She had thought she had grown courage, but it seems she was wrong. She was as much in love with this man as she was afraid. This fear kept her in line throughout their marriage. As much as her love for him had grown cold, it seems she was still somewhat afraid.

Saying another round of goodbyes, she stepped out of the private room. She walked a bit and paused
