Chapter 341 - [Bonus ]The Girl In The Dream
Linda immediately grabbed Anne's hand which was pointing at a car that had gone away.
"Anne, wake up!!! Control yourself!!" said Linda quickly, she didn't want Anne to return to her condition two years ago.
Hearing Linda's words which are loud enough made Anne's consciousness return. She then turned to Linda with teary eyes.
"Come on, Anne, aren't you ashamed to be seen by so many people like this and Anne… y-your camera is broken!!!" Linda screamed in panic when she saw that the DSLR lens hanging from Anne's neck was broken.
Anne suddenly saw her camera and was just as surprised as Linda when she saw that her favorite camera had been destroyed, Anne was quite shocked when she saw that her favorite camera lens was broken. Linda was just as surprised as Anne. Anne now regretted her stupid act of crossing the street carelessly. After calming down, Anne then asked a few people, who were still standing not far from her, about a camera shop nearby. Of the three people that Anne asked, there was only one person who gave a satisfying answer to her. Without further ado, Anne then took Linda to go to the camera shop mentioned by the kind woman earlier. While walking towards the shop, Anne felt a little pain in her knee, but she ignored it and chose to continue walking with Linda to the camera shop which was not far from where they were now.
"What were you doing earlier, Nick?" Alan asked flatly to his assistant who was driving the car.
"Oh, a girl got panicked because she saw a truck that was approaching quickly, sir, plus many people were shouting at the same time on the side of the road. As a result, the girl was out of focus and was standing frozen in the middle of the road. Luckily, I was still able to pull her to the side of the road, ' Nicholas replied at length.
"Oh, that's good. So when can you quickly increase the speed of the car, Nick? We have to get to the office immediately. Otherwise, Grandpa will definitely be angry with me," said Alan again.
"Yes Sir."
Nicholas then increased the speed of his car to go to the Clarke family office, where today Alan would do an opening ceremony of a newly built jewelry company. The Clarke family had been managing a company for generations that concentrated on making expensive jewelry made from super rare stones obtained from all over the world. That was why the Clarke family's wealth would not run out until the 20th generations. So it was no wonder that many businessmen were competing to match their daughters to Alan Knight Clarke, but because Alan Clarke still wanted to focus on the company, no girl had ever catch his attention, including Cassandra Lim, the only girl who had the greatest chance of becoming the future wife of an Alan Knight Clarke. Cassandra Lim was seen accompanying Alan to attend several business meetings that were exposed to the media only for a few times.
Although the love story of Alan Knight Clarke had not been exposed by the media, he had nothing to do with satisfying his desires. Countless beautiful and sexy girls groaned in pleasure when Alan pushed his body over the girls, but because Alan had fast-paced men, every girl who had been with him would not be able to relate to Alan anymore. Since Alan would cut off contact with them through his men, Alan, who didn't believe in marriage, preferred his current lifestyle. This free sex lifestyle was worrisome to his grandfather, Mr. David Clarke, who wished to have a great-grandson from Alan. But because Alan still didn't want to get married, Mr. David could only patiently wait for his grandson to grant his greatest wish.
"Are you sure these are the only ones who will come?" Alan asked quietly after reading the list of upcoming business associates on his smart tablet, as Nicholas pulled up the car to the new company's VIP parking area.
"Yes sir, all the names in the data will come. But I can't guarantee whether the businessmen would bring their children again or not, you know what they are like," Nicholas answered quickly while tucking a gun into the jacket he was wearing.
Alan smiled wryly at Nicholas' words. "It's okay, Nick, no problem for me. Well, then let's go downstairs, the reporters and those people must be waiting for us."
Nicholas nodded his head quickly. He then opened the car door and got down quickly to help open the car door for Alan. As soon as Alan got off the car, the reporters, who had been waiting for his presence, immediately ran and pointed the camera at him. Not long after, hundreds of flashes from the reporters' cameras were seen lighting the way that Alan had passed. Mr. David Clarke, who was in the company, was sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the CCTV which showed his beloved grandson walking gallantly up the stairs. A proud smile was shown on his aged face.
Luis, who was faithful to his master, seemed to be patting Mr. David Clarke on the shoulder, he gave a code to his master not to show his expression too much so that people didn't think that he was weak like a few years ago. That was why Mr. David Clarke never smiled again when he was in the office. He didn't want his employees to underestimate him as he was now an invalid who could no longer walk.
"Thank you, Luis," said Mr. David Clarke quietly.
Louis smiled. "It's my duty, sir."
Not long after, Alan and Nicholas finally managed to get past the dozens of journalists who were blocking their way. Alan managed to enter the office and immediately looked for his grandfather, who was still on the second floor. But when he was about to take the elevator, Alan's steps suddenly stopped when Cassandra Lim and her father, Nelson Lim, blocked him.
"Alan!"
"Oh, Uncle Lim, I didn't expect you to attend this event," Alan said loudly instead of greeting the Chinese-Korean man.
Nelson Lim laughed out loud, he then put his arm around Alan's shoulder and said, "Of course we're coming, Alan, there's no way Cassandra and I won't come."
"Yes, Alan, moreover I was invited directly by Grandpa David. How could I not come," added Cassandra Lim, speaking in a fairly loud voice. She deliberately spoke like that because she wanted to quip some girls who were standing not far from where she was standing at the moment. She wanted to show all the girls how close she was to the Clarke family.
Alan only smiled faintly at the words of the father and daughter. When Alan was about to excuse himself to go up to the second floor, suddenly the elevator opened and out came the grandfather with his personal assistant, Luis, who pushed his wheelchair. Seeing Mr. David Clarke appear Cassandra immediately ran to the old man to greet him. Once again, Cassandra Lim wanted to show off to the girls who had come to today's event, so that they were aware of themselves and would stay away from Alan, who was the man she was after.
Because Mr. David Clarke had joined the company's inauguration ceremony, Alan, as the successor to the Clarke family, held a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon in front of the company's main door. Thunderous applause was immediately heard when Alan managed to cut the red ribbon, which was a symbol that the Clarke family's new company was officially opened. When all the reporters present turned to Alan to take his best photo, accidentally Alan saw two girls got off a taxi right on the street in front of his new company. At first, Alan did not pay attention to the first girl who got off, but when he saw the girl with waist-length brownish black hair getting off the taxi, his eyes didn't blink. Although the distance was quite far, Alan was fascinated by the girl's beauty.
Thump
Alan's heart raced quickly when he saw the girl smiled. There was a strange sense of churning inside him. It was an indescribable pain that made Alan had to hold his chest which suddenly hurt. Seeing Alan clutched his chest, suddenly everyone in the place panicked. They immediately approached Alan to make sure that the sole heir of the Clarke corporation was in alright, including Nicholas, who immediately approached Alan quickly and blocked everyone who wanted to touch Alan.
"Sir..."
"I'm okay, I'm okay," Alan answered quickly, trying to hold back the pain in his chest.
