The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 122

Chapter 122: Love Rivals

"Are you here?" Anya asked, finding that she was happy to hear his voice.

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Daniel responded. "Yes, I'm here," he said. "I just finished up and thought I'd come pick you up."

"I'm just heading back to the entrance," she replied. "I'll be there in a moment." She was not sure why he came to pick her up, as he could have gone by himself.

As she neared the entrance of the orchard, she spotted Daniel in the distance; his back turned to her as he scanned the area. Despite herself, Anya couldn't help but admire his well-built form and his muscular frame that was visible from his cotton shirt. She watched him for a moment, feeling a strange mix of emotions stirring within her.

Their relationship was no more complicated, and yet there was still a wall between them. As she looked at him, she felt something about Daniel she found impossible to resist. Anya couldn't deny the pull he had on her.

With a shake of her head, Anya pushed aside her conflicting feelings and wheeled herself closer to Daniel.

He felt her near and turned around to face her.

When he turned around and caught sight of her approaching, a warm smile spread across his

face.

"Hey there," he greeted as she drew near, his voice filled with genuine warmth. "Did you have a good time?" Love Hovah

Anya nodded in response, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Yes, I did," she replied, her voice soft and melodic. "But even if the guards booked the entire orchard, I still met those I did not want to meet." Daniel paused before saying softly, reaching out to take the basket of apples from her hands. Your mother owns this orchard, I hear," he asked, a hint of darkness in his voice. "How did you decide to come here?" Daniel and rushed over because he heard she was here. After doing some research on Shaina, he knew she had some of her properties.

Anya shrugged, her expression thoughtful. "I just picked a place off the internet," she said with a slight sigh. "Some rotten luck I have. Of all the places..."

"Besides, two pests I met could not bargain since they don't have the contents of the safe, right?" she smiled.

"How did you figure?" he asked.

"I guessed when they were not aggressive with their request. The look on their face though when I asked them to fix a time and let me see what they had," Anya said with a smile; the memory pleased her greatly. "You guessed right. I had someone take it. It is on its way back to the capital city. We will see it when we get back," he answered.

As Daniel pushed Anya towards the waiting car, he couldn't help but notice the mischievous glint in her eyes.

There was something about the way she had smiled when she wanted to mess with someone that he loved. He found that he quite liked her naughty side.
