Chapter 5

They haven't seen each other since they parted that day in not so amicable terms.

Gary believed that his boss had been acting rather odd recently. Jackson had always hated having to visit Anna on Wednesdays regularly and was always glum on such days as a result.

But now that he wasn't obligated to do so, he seemed even more gloomy than he normally was on such days.

On the other hand, Anna was quite brave in making such a decision. Back then, everyone was fully aware of how in love she was with Jackson. So, why did she suddenly change? Why has she even disappeared for an entire month?

It's even worth noting that Jackson also doesn't seem quite able to adjust to their current situation. It was obvious that he wasn't used to this set-up either, no matter how much it favored him.

Today was Wednesday once again. Jackson didn't visit his wife and refused all sorts of entertainment to pass the time, which was starting to worry Gary. He hoped his boss could go out and have fun for even a little while so they could both stop working overtime.

Jackson, who was quietly sitting in the back seat, suddenly said, "Go to Twilight."

As soon as they arrived at the club, the owner, Sam Brown, hurriedly rushed toward Jackson. "Jackson! Your wife has gone crazy!" He said helplessly.

Jackson's expression slightly shifted as he asked coldly, "Isn't she filming? Why is she back?"

Sam stopped.

Jackson frowned and impatiently said, "What are you doing? Lead the way!"

Sam trembled as he clarified, "It's not Gina. It's Anna!"

Jackson gave him a cold stare. It seemed that for Sam, Anna was now worthy of being Mrs. Will.

Sam was really clueless. After all, if he hadn't referred to Anna as such, he would eventually have been reprimanded by Jackson's Grandparents. However, he did so without realizing that it made Jackson quite furious.

Jackson then turned around, about to leave, when Sam pursed his lips as he said, "I suggest you go inside and have a look. Anna is making quite a ruckus. The consequences of this aren't any different from that of you being caught meeting with Gina…."

Jackson knew full well that Anna was quite the troublemaker. So, he quietly followed Sam to the private room.

The music blared as soon as they opened the door. Several half-naked men danced around Anna, the dim lights and shadows enveloping their intertwined figures.

Jackson's gaze was fixed on her delicate and thin waist under her loose blouse, which appeared even more dazzling than the brilliant lights as she danced. His gaze was cold and sharp in front of such a sight.

Then, the music suddenly stopped, which displeased Anna. She turned around and was stunned as his cold and piercing gaze greeted her. She stepped back and directly fell into the arms of the man behind her.

One of them men unhappily commented on the interruption, "What happened? Who is this man?"

Anna immediately reassured the man, who turned out to be Bill White, as she explained briefly, "It's okay, Mr. White. That man is my husband. Now, let's continue!"

She glanced at Jackson's expressionless face as she closed the door to continue partying.

Such indifference made sense. She wasn't important to him, after all. He naturally didn't care about her, and she had been used to it by now. What was she even expecting? Was she looking forward to seeing him angry just now? As if.

Anna merely shook her head to get rid of such thoughts and continued dancing.

The moment the private room doors were shut, Jackson, who was just standing outside, looked cold as if holding into his anger. The two people with him sensed his aura and didn't dare to speak.

Gary was too terrified to speak, so Sam had to bite the bullet and said hesitantly, "I… Should I escort your wife out — I mean, Miss Anna?"

"It was her choice to do something like this. It's none of your business!" Jackson said as he turned away.

None of them noticed that the door to the private room had been slight ajar all this time and only quietly closed as they left.

Anna leaned against the wall and recalled how just over a month ago, Jackson appeared in this private room, pulled her aside, and said to her, "Stay away from her!" as he hugged Gina tightly in his arms.

Just now, he wore the very same indifferent expression as he did that day.

Bill then put on his shirt and said, "Anna, I already signed the contract with you today. You might've been frustrated in love, but you do well in business. You're so charming and beautiful. You don't have to stay with such a coldhearted man! If I wasn't gay, I, without a doubt, would've definitely dated you already. Is Jackson also interested in men? Anyway, just how could he even ignore you with your perfect beauty and figure?"

Anna felt better as Bill made lighthearted jokes and teased her. "Come on, do you like him?"

Bill immediately shook his head and said, "That kind of man is cold and boring. I'll call some hot and young guys to entertain you. Let's think of it as reciprocity."

"All right," Anna agreed.

The manager later approached Jackson and reported that Anna had called for eight young and hot men. Upon hearing this, Sam spat the wine he was drinking in shock. But before he could wipe it and clean after his mess, Jackson had already left the room angrily.
