My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

“I sincerely apologize, sir. It was not intentional. I hope you’re not injured.”

Erica, undeterred by her surprise, gracefully displayed her professionalism and approached Ansel with genuine sincerity, even bowing respectfully. Unfortunately, it seemed that Ansel was unaware of Erica’s presence at that moment.

‘Oh no, I might have my salary deducted.” Erica couldn’t help but worry at the thought. Meanwhile, Ansel sighed in disappointment as he looked down at his expensive clothes, which were soaked and smelled of champagne.

“Are you okay, Ansel?” Nika quickly approached Ansel and expressed her concern.

The people near the scene were all looking at Ansel with curious eyes. Fortunately, the accident didn’t draw the attention of the party host. The incident occurred in an area close to the entrance where fewer people gathered. If it had happened in the center or near influential individuals, Ansel would have had to deal with inquiries, concerns, and apologies that might have lacked sincerity from those people.

“I’m fine,” Ansel replied, looking up at Nika. “I think I need to go to the restroom right now.”

“Then go right away,” Nika urged. “I’ll go with you.”

Before the two could leave, the hotel manager appeared. The man stood in front of Ansel, wearing thin-rimmed glasses, and spoke respectfully:

“Ansel Brown. We sincerely apologize for the incident just now. Our staff was careless. Hopefully, you were not injured.”

Ansel glanced at the person speaking and then at the mentioned staff member. It was none other than Erica, the person who had looked at him earlier. At that moment, when their eyes met, there was something special forming within both of them. Although it wasn’t clearly defined, it was enough to make them feel unfamiliar. Then everything returned to reality. Faced with Ansel’s piercing gaze, Erica recognized her inferior position and, in response, looked down at the floor.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am so sorry.”

Deep down, Erica hoped that this incident wouldn’t cost her her job, even though the fault didn’t solely lie with her. But as usual, in the world of the wealthy and powerful, they were always right.

As Erica broke eye contact with Ansel, Ansel turned back to the manager.

“It’s not a big deal. Please don’t worry too much,” Ansel said gently. “The incident just happened, and partly it was because I didn’t notice someone coming from behind. So, please don’t punish the innocent person.”

Upon hearing Ansel’s words, Erica was taken aback. What is happening? Is Ansel actually helping Erica? Is he standing up for her and protecting her? How did Ansel know about Erica’s concerns? Does he possess the ability to read minds? Erica had initially believed that Ansel, like many other wealthy individuals, looked down on the poor. However, it seems that her initial judgment was incorrect. It is true that appearances can be deceiving. Erica felt a sense of guilt for misjudging Ansel. Unable to resist, she discreetly lifted her gaze to look up at him.

As for Ansel, the reason he said that is because he actually heard Erica’s warning. It’s just that his body wasn’t quick enough to avoid the accident. Therefore, Ansel doesn’t want to blame others for his own shortcomings. Furthermore, he doesn’t expect anyone to lose their job because of him.

“Thanks for your understanding.” The manager was relieved that things didn’t go too far, so he quickly expressed his gratitude. He even turned to Erica, urging:

“What are you doing standing there? Thank you, Mr. Ansel Brown; hurry up.”

“Thank you for being forgiving,” Erica said, her face showing clear appreciation towards Ansel. Ansel’s eyes met Erica’s once again.

Ansel nodded in response.

Ansel walked away, and Nika followed him. As Ansel turned her back to Erica, her eyes happened to see the mole on the back of his neck. At first glance, it appears to be a normal mole, but with Erica’s medical knowledge, she believes this mole can be very dangerous. With a high probability of Ansel suffering from cancer, Erica’s compassion drives her to follow him and express her concerns. However, before Erica could take action, the manager issued an order.

“Erica. Quickly clean up the mess, then go to the kitchen to help.”

“Yes,” Erica replied, her eyes still following Ansel’s fading figure.

Seeing Erica still standing there, her eyes constantly looking towards the door, she appeared to be deeply conflicted. The manager, annoyed, scolded:

“Act swiftly. Due to your carelessness today, I will deduct your salary.”

“Yes, I’ll do it right away,” Erica replied hesitantly. She then sat down to pick up the broken pieces of glass on the floor. The manager quickly disappeared from the scene, while the guests returned to the party. …Erica wanted to finish cleaning up quickly so she could go find Ansel. As a result, she wasn’t careful and got her finger cut by a piece of glass. Despite the pain, Erica finally completed the task. Immediately after taking out the trash, Erica set out to find Ansel instead of going to the kitchen to perform her next task. Erica even dared to break into the men’s restroom, but there was no sign of Ansel. Erica then rushes around the hotel to find Ansel.

“Excuse me, have you seen Ansel Brown?” Erica asked a passing staff member.

“You mean Ansel Brown, the CEO of AB Company from the JK Corporation?” The male attendant confirmed.

Erica actually knew nothing about Ansel Brown’s identity or background. But based on speculation, if Ansel Brown was present at such a luxurious party and everyone seemed to know him, then he must belong to the wealthy and renowned category.

“That’s right,” Erica replied eagerly. “Did you see him? Where is he?”

“I saw Ansel Brown and his companion in the lobby. It seems like they’re about to leave.”

“How long ago?” Erica looked very anxious. Indeed, the matter was very serious.

“Just now. If you run after him now, you might be able to catch up with him.”

As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Erica ran off.

“Thank you,” Erica replied, her voice fading away before disappearing from the hallway. In order to avoid any delay, Erica hurriedly ran down to the first floor using the staircase instead of taking the elevator.

Erica was lucky to find Ansel standing in front of the hotel, waiting for the car. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Ansel getting ready to get in the car. Ignoring the fatigue in her body, Erica immediately rushed towards Ansel.

“Ansel Brown, please wait a moment!” Erica called out loudly, hoping to catch Ansel’s attention. Unfortunately, it seems that Ansel didn’t hear Erica’s voice as he calmly stepped into the car.

“Please listen to me!” Erica screamed in desperation, but all she could do was watch as Nika started up the vehicle and drove away, just as Erica was about to approach.

Not willing to give up, Erica decided to chase after Ansel’s car. As she ran, she also tried to signal Nika to stop the car. Finally, Erica’s efforts paid off when Nika, the driver, coincidentally glanced back through the rearview mirror.
