Hunting for His EX-Wife

Anna ran back to the lounge. She didn’t want to lose her job, so after adjusting her emotions, she returned to her work station.

To her relief, Jimmy didn’t cause any more trouble for her. From a colleague, she learned that Jimmy had left. This made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Anna worked until 1 AM before leaving the bar.

After stretching out her stiff limbs, she immediately called a taxi.

With only thoughts of visiting her father in the hospital on Anna’s mind, she didn’t notice that Jimmy had been following the taxi that she took all along. Jimmy didn’t drive away until he saw her enter the hospital.

Anna dragged herself into his father’s ward with exhaustion weighing heavily on every step.

Mrs. Miller was filled with sadness when Anna arrived

Anna quickly walked over to pat Mrs. Miller’s shoulder.

Mrs. Miller kept sighing deeply.

“I just talked to the doctor earlier and we need tens of thousands more for treatment fees,” said Mrs. Miller as tears welled up in eyes.

“What should we do? We don’t have that much money… Why don’t we help your dad get discharged from here and let him rest at home?”

Upon hearing this proposal from her mom, Anna immediately refused.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“We have doctors here who can treat him anytime if there are any problems. If we take my dad home and his condition worsens again, it will be dangerous,” said Anna firmly.

Mrs. Miller snorted.

“If we don’t pay medical expenses all along, will they let us stay? Besides… your older brother is still in detention now! If he gets sentenced, I… I won’t live anymore!”

Anna was already exhausted but Mrs. Miller’s crying made it worse than ever before.

“You must find a way to save your older brother,” cried Mrs. Miller hysterically,

“He is my everything! If anything happens to him, I’ll die right in front of you!”

Mrs. Millers’ request made Anna feel like running away but then Jimmy’s words echoed through her mind.

Did she really have to sell herself out for her dad’s treatment fees and her brother’s freedom?

Anna was full of conflict; not knowing how or what choice would be best.

That night felt like an eternity as sleep eluded Anna completely.

In the early morning, after buying breakfast for Mrs. Miller, she finally went to work looking haggard with droopy spirits due lack of sleep .

When Mia had a break, she came over to Anna and spoke directly, “I’m sorry for my tone yesterday. Anna, you’re not mad at me, right?”

Anna shook her head lightly.

She had wanted to ask about the prize money but thought better of it. Maybe Mia was just trying to encourage me since she was my good friend after all.

Seeing that Anna wasn’t angry with her, Mia sat down next to her and intimately took hold of her arm. With a shy expression on her face, she opened up. “Anna… I want to ask you something. You broke up with Bryce… do you have any romantic relationship with Mr. Harrison? Do you like him?”

Anna looked surprised and didn’t understand why Mia suddenly brought up Jimmy.

“Anna, please tell me quickly! Your answer is really important for me,” urged Mia.

Anna shook her head and replied, “I don’t like him.” However, this answer made an inexplicable discomfort pass through Anna’s heart.

“That’s great! I can pursue him boldly now,” exclaimed Mia excitedly as she stood up straight away.

Anna almost choked on saliva when she heard this unexpected news – the person that Mia liked was Jimmy!

“Are you sure you want to pursue Jimmy? Do you know him?” asked Anna softly as she hesitated whether or not to tell Mia what Jimmy said in the bar that night.

Mia nodded eagerly. “Of course I know him! And I fell in love with him at first sight. One time when my friends and I were working at a hotel banquet hall for the first time together, I was very nervous so I almost spilled drinks everywhere but luckily Mr. Harrison helped me out by holding onto my tray tightly. It made my heart sink deeply into his kindness towards me at that moment… So now I am certain that he is the one for me. He will be mine someday soon!”

Mia put both hands over her heart while recalling fondly their first encounter together.

This surprised Anna because there seemed to be some connection between Jimmy and Mia which wasn’t apparent before… But then again – his reaction didn’t seem like someone who knew Mia well either?

“I know he doesn’t remember this at all, but in my heart, I have decided he’s my Mr. Right. Anna. Will you help me?” Mia grabbed Anna’s arm and looked at her expectantly.

Faced with Mia’s plea, Anna was filled with conflict.

After hesitating for a while, Anna finally spoke, “Mia, you don’t really know Jimmy. Maybe… maybe what you see is just the surface. You don’t really know his personality or character. He may not be as perfect as you imagine him to be. You need to think carefully about this and not let yourself get hurt,” Anna spoke gently.

Upon hearing Anna’s suggestive words, Mia looked unhappy and even furrowed her eyebrows tightly.

“Anna, seems like you’re very familiar with Mr. Harrison?”

Anna looked a little unnatural.

“I just… wanted to remind you that there is a huge difference between your identities and he has always been known for being domineering in the business world. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to conquer him or that it will cause harm.”

Not wanting Mia to misunderstand her intentions, Anna quickly explained herself.

Mia shook her head. “No way! I believe that I can definitely win him over as long as he sees how good I am! As for our different backgrounds, I believe he isn’t a shallow man who cares about such things! Please help me chase after him!”

Anna felt confused:

How could she help?

Why did she feel uncomfortable when Mia talked about pursuing Jimmy?

She quickly dismissed these thoughts from her mind.

“Of course I’ll help,” said Anna nodding slowly,”but honestly, I don’t know how exactly.”

Mia smiled and glanced around before saying, “There’s going to be an office party in two days right? Well then, I’ll make good use of this party.”

Party?

Anna was confused again but eventually remembered – it was the company’s welcome dinner where all their artists would attend so there would definitely be many reporters present too. And since they wanted the trainees like them to adapt quickly, the company had arranged some interviews with reporters. Thinking of having to deal with reporters made her feel nervous though.

Mia tugged on Anna’s sleeve, pulling her out of her thoughts.

“I have a gift for Mr. Harrison, Anna. Can you help me give it to him?” Mia’s face was beaming with a shy smile.

Anna looked curious. “What is it?”

Mia shook her head, looking mysterious. “It’s a secret for now. You’ll find out when the time comes. He’ll love it, I promise. All you need to do is deliver it to him and I’ll take care of the rest.”

Anna sighed as their teacher walked in and demanded they start training seriously.

“You have to help me,” Mia said firmly before running back to her own training spot.

Shall I help Mia? In Anna’s stunning eyes swirled a hint of complexity and uncertainty about this request from her friend.
