My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day

Chapter 12

At first, she thought that life would be difficult to adapt to after moving.

After a while, Zac's business trip made Anika feel less uncomfortable.

Time flew so fast and in a blink of an eye, it was already Alena’s birthday.

She invited Anika to go shopping.

However, Anika had to run some errands back at her company and she was only available not until noon.

Anika drove her way down to her company.

Her bright Porsche Panamera was quite eye-catching and people couldn't help but turn around whenever the car passed by them.

It was a graduation gift that her beloved grandfather had bought for her back then.

Not long after, the slender figure ran out of the building, as if she was being chased by something.

Just as she got in the car, Alena anxiously said, "Hurry up! Hurry up! I don't want to be called back later!"

Anika smiled when she felt familiar.

Alena was about the same as when she first worked on the project with her mentor.

Before long, Anika started and drove into the road.

After the car started to move, Alena relaxed and turned her head with interest, "Tell me, why did you and Zac get a permit to live together?"

There was no need to hide anything from Alena about their marriage agreement, especially after she and Nataly helped her change the groom on her wedding day.

After a short explanation, Anika had successfully explained everything to Alena.

Alena nodded, "Although Zac was arrogant when he was in high school, without him, Demi and the other girls would not be expelled from school.It's a good thing that you have improved your relationship with him’ LZ Middle School was the best middle school in Misty Bridge City and the top scorers of college entrance examinations came from here.

Inside the school, there were two groups of students — those with good grades and those with enough money.

Alena was Anika’s senior when they were in high school.

Anika was two years younger than her.

When Alena was in Senior High School, Anika was in Junior High School.

They knew each other because there was a time when Alena saved the newly-transferred Anika from Demi and the other girls’ bullying.

At that time, Zac and Kayden were both famous.

The latter was popular because of his excellent academic performance while the former's popularity was rooted in his cutting class incidents and fights.

If his father was not giving sponsorship to their school, he would have been expelled long ago.

If he had done anything good, it was when thought of a way to expel Demi and the others who had bullied Alena and hated Anika.

After all, it was Demi who provoked Zac.

‘He was giving justice in his own way’ Anika thought and smiled.

"Don't worry, to a certain extent.We are now in a community of interests, and we will try our best to get along well with each other.”

Anika finally replied.

The current Zac was still unstoppable and arrogant but compared to eight years ago, he was much better now.

Her relationship with Zac had started to ease in their late third year of high school.

"By the way, the best man he hired last time was our company's external legal advisor.He was only one year younger than you.What do you think?" Alena asked.

"Leo March?"

Anika searched through her memories and nodded.

"Although he was one year younger, he was very outstanding in the competition inside class back then.It seems that he went to A University.If Zac went back to A University after a year off from school, he should have coincidentally become a classmate with Leo.The Hill family had fallen into disarray.

After Zac inherited his father’s business, they heard it was only Tony and Leo who were left by his side.

The car had already entered the parking lot while they were talking.

Located in the busiest commercial pedestrian street of Misty Bridge City, LX Plaza was a luxury shopping center with high-end brands.

Anika led Alena to the fifth floor.

The prices and fees here could be seen here, but there were few people and the service was considerate.

Now that they have arrived at the fifth floor, Alena hurriedly stopped, "Nika, although I want to spend all my bonus, I should not spend it all here on this floor.’ Anika assured the worried Alena with a shake of her head and a smile, "I've been busy for along time so I'm thinking of buying you a career gift today.If you want anything, just tell me.You don't have to spend money because it's on me today"

After returning to China, she rarely went shopping.

Kayden’s mother bought things directly from the shop assistant and always asked her to help her choose the best fit.

She felt guilty because she didn't have time to meet her good friends.

"You're spoiling me with that tone of yours."

Alena was speechless by her words.

Anika accompanied her into a shop and picked a few clothes for her.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said generously, "Don't worry, I have plenty of money.Kayden also gave his money back to me.Do you still feel sorry if it's his money that we're going to spend?"

When Kayden started his business, he cut ties with his family.

She gave all of her savings to Kayden at first, but Kayden later returned 30% of her B shares of T&D.

She did not feel any guilt when she took his money.

‘Now that Kayden had returned to China to inherit his family business, it was impossible for him to take back these shares given his personality.

Even if he wanted it, he would buy it back at the stock price’ She thought.

Even if she had bought quite a few gifts for the Jenkins Family in the past, she was happier if she spent it for her friend.

She would gladly spend money for Alena.

Alena hated Kayden so much that she finally agreed to buy clothes using his money.

So, she walked into the fitting room.

It was quite noticeable that Alena had soft and fair skin as well as a slender figure while she was fitting clothes.

After a few tries, Anika finally saw a dress that perfectly fitted Alena.

She then waved her hand to ask the shop assistant to bill her.

At this moment, Alena pointed at a skirt in the clerk's hand and said to Anika, "This skirt is so beautiful.It's not for me so you should try this, Nika"

She was referring to a skirt that the shop assistant had just taken out.

It was intertwined with a blue and white net and was embellished with diamonds.

It was indeed beautiful.

However, just as Alena finished speaking, another female voice suddenly appeared behind her, "Give me the smallest size of this one.'' Anika looked up.

The two people standing behind Alena are not strangers.

They were Everly and Lucy who wore sunglasses.

Everly, who had just spoken to the shop assistant, had a cold expression when she saw Anika.

"Miss Meyer is indeed exotic,'' Anika was not surprised by Everly's attitude.

The Mason Clan wanted to get rid of Zac's past grudges through marriage.

Everly and Lucy had a good relationship and seeing her accidentally marrying Zac would probably make her die.

"Cousin, long time no see"

Lucy greeted Anika naturally.

It may seem like they were close cousins if a stranger sees them but Lucy was just hiding behind her sunglasses.

The shop assistant beside her pondered for a while and said, "Sorry, Miss Meyer, this is a limited edition item.There is only one item in the shop.Only after a certain amount of consumption can you buy it"

Although Anika bought a lot of items just now, Miss Mason was a loyal customer of the store.

Moreover, this model was the latest season's limited edition item, and there weren't many in the world.

The manager had to work hard to get it from the headquarters.

She needed to spend a full amount of money to get it.

Of course, more importantly, Lucy was so famous that even if she wore sunglasses, the shop assistant recognized her quickly.

Their previous scandal caused a ruckus.

‘This Miss Cooper had her back on President Jenkins, so I couldn't offend her"

The assistant thought.

"Miss Meyer, what a coincidence.’ Everly smiled, seemingly a little regretful.

"Lucy has a press conference tomorrow.Don't even try..."

It meant that this dress had to be given to Lucy.

Ever since Lucy entered the entertainment industry, the red carpet had always been a top-tier for promoting a brand.

Even at the press conference, it was still a luxury limited edition, let alone jewelry.

The Meyer Family had always been simple, only wanting a thrifty kind of clothes.

Anika’s grandpa did not like the extravagance of today's generation.

Her pocket money was fixed but it was not much.

Lucy Cooper couldn't afford her friend's outfit, but Kayden could.

Lucy had just signed Director Adam's film, and it was a very strong deal.

The press conference would have to be the usual stunning press release.

When Anika heard Everly's words, she immediately dropped her eyebrows and said coldly, "Everly, it's always ‘first come, first serve’ when it comes to shopping”

"Miss Paige is right.There must be a first-come, first-served rule.However, what happened right now was a coincidence.So, that rule can be reversed."

Everly smiled back, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

On the lighter side, she was talking about a dress.

However, she was implying that Anika was Kayden's future fiancée in reality.

Perhaps, she was also trying to say that Anika, a latecomer, had used some tricks to marry Zac.

However, Kayden still runoff the wedding for Lucy in the end and Zac would not let her be Mrs.Hill forever.

At first, Anika did not need the skirts.But now, she did not want to let go of it.

She looked at the shop assistant beside her and said indifferently, "l remember that your shop has a VIP list?"

"Yes, Miss Meyer."

When the assistant heard her words, she nodded.

HQ indeed has limited VIP purchases to boost the consumption of VIP customers.

Its basis is cumulative consumption.

Since Anika knew about this, she had a big chance.

This made the shop assistant contemplate more.

Anika narrowed her eyes and said, "Then check it out.Normally, she didn't have much desire to shop.Although she had also dealt with banquets abroad, ordering more than a dozen high-end gowns and jewelry.The high-priced jewelry set was long and the price was many times that of the store's sales, especially those expensive jewelry sets.

After a while, the assistant walked back and took the skirt from before.

She looked at Anika warmly, "Miss Meyer, do you want to try it first?"

Anika shook her head, "No need.The size is suitable.Wrap it up with the previous ones.’ She took out her purse and realized that she had only brought Zac’s card with her.

She hesitated awkwardly for a second before handing the card out.

Fortunately, Zac had enough money on his card.

‘Forget it, I'll give the money back to him when we get back’ She thought.

Everly wasn't stupid, so she naturally guessed that Anika's previous consumption had caused the shop assistant to change her attitude.

However, she didn't know where Anika got so much money from.

‘Could it be that she borrowed someone else's name?’ Everly suspected.

Kayden did not like Anika.

The jewelry sold at an enormous price was given to Lucy.

She had never seen him buy anything for Anika, let alone let her spend it so luxuriously.

The dress she bought was close to seven figures.

Everly's expression was slightly stiff as she whispered to Lucy, "Your cousin will look swollen and fat.It's alright, there's no need to compete.It's just a dress."

Lucy smiled indifferently.

She didn't mind as much as Everly.

After all, she didn't lack a skirt.

Just now, Everly wanted to use this opportunity to save Anika's face.

Although she did not stop Everly, she did not want to participate.

Seeing that Anika and Alena were about to leave, Lucy took two steps forward and stopped them.

She took off her sunglasses and smiled at her, "Cousin, getting married is not a small matter.I hope you don't act rashly.Zac can only help you once, not twice.You and I both know why Zac married you.Even if he conceded in the North City Project, he wouldn't always help you.It's like Director Adam's new play.Didn't Zac also invest?"

Anika looked at her quietly and immediately understood what she wanted to implicate.

Lucy wanted to say that even if she changed the groom and became Zac's lawful wife, she shouldn't expect Zac to help her deal with Lucy.

Her best choice should be obedience, not resistance.

Lucy's words were the same as Oliver's advice.

She was truly worthy of being the daughter of her father.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw an unexpected figure walking towards the elevator from afar, and her expression suddenly froze.

The man's eyebrows were bright, and his posture was noble.

He wore a thin and long dark trench coat and approached without any hesitation.

Before the man even got there, he seemed to have heard Lucy's advice to his wife.

He chuckled and said coldly, "Miss Cooper is rather concerned about my household affairs.Lucy didn't expect Zac to suddenly appear, and both she and Everly were shocked.Zac stood at the side with his arms crossed.”

He looked at Anika calmly and said, "Do you want to buy more?"

"You're back?"

Anika looked at him in surprise and then raised her eyebrows, "How did you know I was here?"

"Consumer SMS."

He waved his phone.

Anika nodded her head in realization and then replied, "I won't buy anymore, but I have to send Alena back first."

Since she had bought almost everything, she was now in a bad mood because of Lucy.

She realized she didn't want to go shopping anymore.

Zac didn't say anything and answered neither salty nor indifferent.

However, just as he was about to leave, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lucy, who was slightly embarrassed.

"Did you just say that Adam Marsh chose you for the new play?" He said leisurely.

Lucy seemed to suddenly react.

She frowned for a moment and smiled faintly to explain, "President Hill, I didn't mean that just now’

"Oh, then what do you mean?"

Lucy was slightly stunned, unable to distinguish her attitude.

She probed, "I just feel that we need to think carefully about getting married." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Even if you think carefully, you may not be able to get married’ Zac said lazily.

After a pause, he laughed, "But you're right.

Adam needs to consider carefully when choosing you.’ Lucy heard the hint.Although she didn't know why her expression still changed.

Her voice was stiff, "President Hill, casting isn't a joke.You don't want your investment to go to nothing, do you?"

"Are you trying to reason with me?" Zac laughed carelessly.

His expression was calm and his voice was loose.

"Miss Cooper doesn't seem to know me very well.What about me? I'm always unreasonable."
