Chapter 61
On Saturday, Anika and Zac went to the studio to take wedding photos.
The photographer that Nataly recommended to her was called Yuna, a famous photographer from several fashion magazines.
Yuna's skill was exquisite enough, and she was well-known in the entertainment world.
She did not easily accept this kind of private shooting.
But this time, it was for Nataly's sake.
The wedding gowns and dresses that Zac had arranged for the shoot had all been prepared ahead of time.
Anika was somewhat surprised that the design fitted her perfectly.
"How do you know my size?"
As she leaned closer to the space between the shots, She whispered to Zac, who was standing beside her.
Hearing this, he glanced at her up and down and chuckled, "I've already hugged you so many times.Is it difficult to grasp it?"
Anika coughed slightly, and her cheeks became flushed for a moment.
Actually, the embrace he was talking to wasn't a hug at all.
He would embrace her numerous times in front of others, and his posture didn't put any strain on her.
However, at that time, he didn’t secretly think of such a thing.
Photographer Yuna, who had been adjusting the equipment in a trance out there , looked at them and smiled, "The next bride
and groom get closer.To make it more genuine, the husband holds the bride's face and places it on his forehead."
Anika subconsciously glanced at Zac.
He was still calm and unconcerned, and did not say anything.
The next thing she knew, he was following the photographer's directions and slowly bending down, carefully raising her chin.
The room was filled with cold air.
When his straight eyebrow and beautiful nose touched her, a tinge of cold and numbness crept to her limbs and bones.
When they stared at each other, their deep, pitch-black eyes appeared to be drenched in ink, and they couldn't see other things.
He pressed her thumb against her cheek, causing her to tingle and quiver slightly.
She only relaxed after the photographer reminded them.
A few flashes of light passed by.
Zac lifted his head slightly after taking the shot, but he didn't let her go.
Anika recovered from the initial awkwardness and did not move either.
She just kept staring at his handsome appearance.
"What, am I good-looking?" He curled his lips.
His charming peach blossom eyes were filled with a smile as he pinched her face.
She nodded, "Yes, you look good."
However, his expression was very serious.
Her attitude made Zac unnatural for a moment.
So he let go of her and coughed softly, "Anika, won't you be shy at this time?"
"But ...you look really good."
She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
Zac furrowed his brows and then averted his eyes.
He then said casually, "Oh, then you have a good eye."
Seeing his faintly red ears, Anika frowned slightly and thought, ‘Could it be that he is ...shy?”
Yuna's voice came out again before she could think about it.
"The bride is sitting on the sofa, facing the light of the lamp.The groom holds the bride's waist and kisses her.” Anika directed her
gaze to her finger.
The light was bright at the place where the lamp was placed, and beside it was a low-legged sofa for a single person.
She avoided looking at the man beside her since she was preoccupied with the photographer's request.
After all, no matter what she thought, she felt as if she was trying to take advantage of him.
The assistant photographer came over to help her tidy up the hem of her wedding gown while sitting on the sofa and guided Zac
on the main points of his posture.
He followed after with a slight grin, unable to hide his feelings.
His broad body blocked most of her sight.
Looking at his approaching face, Anika gently closed her eyes and couldn't help but clench her fists.
In the darkness, a refreshing feeling came from his lips.
His pleasant refreshing scent lingered on the tip of her nose.
His lips touched her, and their breathing seemed to merge together.
Along with the humid and hot atmosphere, the rest of his senses were enormously increased, and the hands on her waist
became even hotter.
After an unknown amount of time, Anika finally heard the photographer's voice.
She calmed down and opened her eyes again.
His deep eyes, like a lake, caught her attention.
They exchanged a quick glance, both clearly ashamed.
He quickly stood up again.
"Zac.”
"Huh?"
It's already finished. She pursed her lower lip and pointed at her hand, saying softly, "You ...let go of me first.I'm going to greet
the photographer and change back into my clothes.’
He lowered his eyes and let go of her hand.
On his well-knit palm, the ring on his ring fingers sparkled with silver light.
Anika couldn't help but laugh because it seemed that his heart was not so calm.
She stood up and walked over to Yuna, who was still staring at the computer.
"Sorry, Miss Yuna-"
Yuna lifted her head and smiled, "You are too polite.If you need to shoot in another location, you can contact me again.’
She had previously asked whether they needed to add a few more location pictures, and she even offered that they travel
abroad to shoot photos.
However, they had little free time recently, so they set it aside for the time being.Upon hearing her words, Anika nodded and
replied, "Alright, then I'll contact you again.’
At this time, Yuna said, "This set of illustrations and three framed pictures will be released in a single volume in approximately a
week.When the time comes, I will ask my assistant to send them over to you."
Anika thought for a moment, then smiled and uttered, "If you're not busy, I'll come and get it."
Yuna nodded, "That's fine."
After taking the wedding photos, she put on her wedding ring.
They appeared to have become more like husband and wife unknowingly.
However, the atmosphere in the villa had changed from a usual to a subtle one.
Fortunately, they had work to do, so the awkwardness of their adaptation was eased.
In the next few days, Anika was still running between the construction site in North City and the company.
On Thursday, Anika and Sara went to the North City to check on the progress of the construction as usual.
Sara needed to stay at the site after going around to talk with the contractor.
Anika remembered that she had an appointment with Scott, so she went there alone.
When she returned to the company through the contractor's car, she stood in front of the elevator and stared down at the
numbers.
When the door opened, she unexpectedly saw Kayden, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, standing inside the elevator.
Despite the fact that Oliver was still detained, the prior medical corporation matter had not been resolved because the contract
had already been signed.
However, Scott had been in contact with Kayden the entire time.
Anika, on the other hand, was preoccupied with projects in North City.
Therefore, she didn't spend much time at the firm, and she didn't meet Kayden.
"Anika.Kayden's eyes lighted up as he saw the slim figure suddenly appear at the elevator door and he immediately moved up.
At work, Anika was always dressed comfortably and professionally.
Today, she wore a bright-colored draped shirt and leisurely wide-legged trousers.
She was as elegant and capable as ever.
It was the most familiar appearance he had ever seen.
During this period of time, Kayden often came to Meyer's residence because of their cooperation.
However, he could only see Scott.
Therefore, he even began to miss seeing her at work every day when he was abroad.
Kayden wasn't the only one in the elevator.
His family, Lloyd and the others were also there.
His identity was as a partner of the Meyer Family.
Hence, Anika simply nodded and did not say anything.
Kayden lowered his tone when he saw her reaction and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I want to talk with
you, but there are some things you should avoid discussing in the workplace’
She frowned and paused for a few seconds before speaking, "There's a cafe downstairs.Wait for me there for a while"
After Lucy sold her shares, she did have some matters to settle with Kayden, but she didn't make time.
When Kayden heard what she said, he smiled as though relieved.
He then nodded gently, and departed with the Jenkins family.
Anika, on the other hand, went back to her office by herself and got the lengthy paper from the drawer.
After thinking for a while, she went to the coffee shop downstairs.
Kayden sat beside the window, and she took the seat across from him.
Without saying anything else, she handed him the document.
"Share transfer agreement?"
He frowned and looked at her.
She expressionlessly nodded her head and stated, "I know that you forced Oliver to give up the shares on his behalf ”
She paid Lucy an amount of money and bought all of the other party's shares.
She also avoided Lucy using that share to do anything unfavorable to the company in the future.
However, the reason why Lucy was willing to sell her shares was because Kayden had added fuel to the fire.
T&D's shares were the last thing she had to do with Kayden.
Although Anika's price was somewhat lower than the investment at the time, it was still highly profitable.
Regardless of what purpose he had for helping her, she had completely repaid his favor and cut off their final ties.
His jaw tightened as he pushed the agreement to her, "You deserve it"
Her dismissive demeanor made him feel as if he was the only one who missed the days when they fought their relationship.
