Chapter 752 Does She Deserve Him?
Felix’s villa was located in a wonderful and quiet area, boasting a large garden outside.
Word had it that everyone residing on this street was a celebrity. Consequently, this place was significantly safer than the accommodation Meryl had rented before.
She had been running a fever the whole night. This morning, upon waking up, she was met with a burglary.
Therefore, after settling down at that moment, Meryl completely
relaxed.
She poured a glass of warm water and drank it.
The time difference between home and abroad had left her unaccustomed. Moreover, she slept poorly last night. After taking antipyretics, she became drowsy.
Felix left.
Having just recovered from a serious illness and endured a long plane journey, he was informed by the doctor he had contacted in advance to head to the hospital for a physical examination immediately upon landing.

Meryl felt extremely tired. However, once she lay in bed, sleep
eluded her.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of the burglar, who was covered in blood, popped up in her mind.
After all, this was the first occasion on which she had faced death. Fear gripped her, and subconsciously, she burrowed deeper into the quilt.
Just then, Anne messaged her.
Anne wrote: [I slept with Max last night.]
Meryl perked up in an instant and replied: [???]
Is their relationship developing so rapidly?
Filled with a sense of disbelief, Meryl called Anne and inquired, “What’s going on with you?”
“It’s a long story. He professed his love to me sincerely. Oh my! His eyes were brimming with affection! And then, I was drunk. Under the effect of the alcohol, I ended up sleeping with him.”
What an impulse!
At that moment, Anne arrived at the company. The longer she ruminated on the matter, the more remorseful she felt.
She still had numerous matters to deal with.

Although Anne was moved, Max was her boss.
The one–night stand was sure to result in embarrassment
enever they met at work in the future.

Besides, she came to Havenbrook with the intention of working diligently.
Anne had a headache. Seeing Max lying beside her early in the morning, she fled without the slightest hesitation.
With a complex mix of emotions swirling within her, she had no idea how to face him.
Meryl listened to the whole story and then gently dropped her gaze. “Tell me first, do you still have feelings for Dante?”
On the other end of the phone, Anne remained silent for an extended period.
She didn’t have an answer to that question.
In the beginning, as Anne saw Dante suffering because of her, the pleasure of revenge overcame her.
Subsequently, after she gave birth to a child, a bond formed between her and Dante. All she desired was to raise their daughter together with him.
After all, a child needed a father for their healthy growth.

However, this morning, when Anne saw Dante drunk

downstairs, having waited for her all night with bloodshot eyes, a sudden pang of guilt struck her.
Somehow, it seemed to her that she had hurt him.
Anne wondered whether her sense of nostalgia was an indication that she still harbored feelings for Dante.
She felt as if she were trapped in an odd love loop.
Therefore, Anne longed to get rid of it by distancing herself from
Dante.
However, due to her excessive drinking, before she could figure out her feelings for Dante, Max got inexplicably drawn into the love triangle.
Now, it was even more chaotic.
“Let me analyze the situation for you.”
Holding her mobile phone, Meryl murmured, “Max professed his love to you last night, didn’t he?”
Anne replied, “Yes.”
“Then you made love. So, objectively speaking, it meant you agreed to be his girlfriend.
“But you claimed that you were under the influence of alcohol.

So, Anne, are you going to deny your relationship?”

Meryl hit the nail on the head. “Oh, poor Max! Are you going to regard him only as a one–night stand?”
Anne had just stepped into the break room to make coffee. When she heard this, the coffee she had just sipped was spat out by her.
She immediately explained, “Don’t talk nonsense. I–I haven’t thought it over yet…”
She planned to take it slow. Even the day before, she and Max had been rather distant from each other.
Anne couldn’t adapt to their sudden intimacy.
Moreover, being a divorced woman who had a child, if she hastily got together with him, people would surely gossip about them behind their backs.
Max is the owner of this company. How could he become the subject of everyone’s chatter just because of me? Isn’t this a disgrace to him?
Anne dropped her gaze. “He’s far too perfect and outstanding.”
She believed that considering her circumstances, she didn’t deserve Max, and this was the most crucial underlying reason.
To put it bluntly, it was her past experiences that made her feel inferior.

“So what if you’re divorced? That’s not your fault! You simply picked the wrong guy!”
Meryl understood Anne’s worries and promptly added, “Even women who are divorced have the right to happiness.
“When Max shows up in your life, it proves that you are worth it! It is precisely because of divorce that once happiness appears, you must try your best to seize it.”
Meryl thought that Anne had been so severely wounded in her previous relationship that she truly needed Max, who loved her wholeheartedly, to help her recover.
After hanging up, Anne gently sighed.
She was well aware that Meryl had a point.
But even so, she still couldn’t live a happy life.
After all, realistically speaking, if all the employees at the
company
found out that Anne and Max were in a relationship, the ridicule would be enough to cause her great distress.
These days, Dante had shown up and made a scene. As a result, everyone knew that she was a divorced woman with a daughter and a pestering ex–husband..
Can I have the nerve to be with Max?
Anyway, Anne was aware that her psychological resilience
Chapter 752 Does She Deserve Him?
wasn’t that robust.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, a meeting was held at the
company.

The seven–member group was on the verge of debuting, yet the final two candidates remained undetermined. These trainees were outstanding in all respects, so this meeting was regarded as an internal vote.
The staff who had contact with these trainees all arrived.
Just as Anne slipped her ballot into the anonymous box and turned around to return to her seat, Max entered from the outside.
Everyone stood up to greet him. After all, he was the boss, and the old adage “might make right” held true as always.
Normally, he didn’t need to attend such a meeting.
But why did he suddenly show up?
In an instant, embarrassment overwhelmed Anne.
Surprisingly, with everyone watching, Max made his way slowly toward her.
Caught off guard, she forced a smile. “Mr. Blunt.”
“Why did you leave without saying goodbye to me in the
morning?”

Max looked as calm as usual, as if he were commenting on the pleasant weather.
But his question drew everyone’s attention to Anne.
In a panic, she glanced up at him, who was smiling.
Even without looking around, she could sense that everyone in the meeting room was staring at her face with curiosity.
