Will Be Gone 13

Chapter 13 She Blocks Him
Sitting in the passenger seat, Anastasia took out her compact to retouch her makeup.
Hobert curved his lip slightly as he noticed the smile on her face. “What did he want?”
“Not important. He’s already in the past now and isn’t worth our time.” Anastasia waved her hand, refusing to let Felton spoil her mood.
Hearing this, Hobert turned the steering wheel and smiled, “I’ll treat you to something good.”
After ten minutes, he pulled up outside a restaurant.
Anastasia raised an eyebrow as she got out of the car. “Steaks?”
Hobert wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “Yeah. It’s been so long since you last enjoyed steak, as I’m sure.”
She fell silent.
Over the years she had married Felton, she had been watching her figure and seldom relished steaks indeed.
Yet, as it turned out, all her sacrifice was nothing but a stupid mistake. Her gaze turned cold as she pulled out her phone, found Felton’s number, blocked him without hesitation, and followed Hobert into the restaurant.
They sat at the reserved table, which was already full of dishes.
She was instantly in a great mood and started to dig in. Yum!
Yet, as she enjoyed the food, she suddenly saw someone pointing at her. Then whispers came into her ears.
“Is that the woman mentioned in the trending topic?”
“I think so. She looks like the woman in the photo…”
Puzzled, she glanced at them, and they lowered their heads at once.
Having a bad feeling, she took out her phone, only to see a photo of her meeting Felton earlier had become trendy.
Felton’s face in the photo was clear, and hers was mostly blocked by a potted plant.
The headline of the trending topic went, “Mr. Gutierrez’s secret date!”
“Fuck me! Secret my ass!” she couldn’t help but curse.
“Paparazzi have no boundaries. I’ll make some calls to make the trending topic go away.” Worried that Anastasia might get upset over some unpleasant memories, Hobert pulled out his phone at once.
“No need,” she said after pondering for a few seconds.
“They only caught my side profile. I rarely show up in public, so I don’t think anyone will recognize me. It won’t affect me much. But…”
She smiled wickedly, already figuring out who was behind this. An idea struck her.
Meanwhile, Felton saw the trending topic, too.
He curved his lips into a meaningful smile and texted her, “Anastasia, you really went all out for this stunt.”
Yet right after he clicked the “Send” button, a system notification popped up on his screen.
Immediately, he flew into a rage.
He slammed the table heavily.
How dare she block him!
She used to be so meek in front of him, doing whatever he asked her to do. But now, she was like an entirely different person.
Or … it had been nothing but her act?
Just then, Arnoldo pushed the door open and entered. “Mr. Gutierrez, about the collaboration with Regent Entertainment…”
He stopped talking at once and was at a loss for what to do because he saw the anger on Felton’s face.
Felton looked up, his eyes burning with fury. “Get the car ready. I’m heading to Regent Entertainment!”
Fifteen minutes later, a black Maybach pulled up outside Regent Entertainment’s building.
