Chapter 578 A Mature Woman
Moreover, in this world, everyone had a past, and everyone had secrets.
As long as she was sure that Anderson was in love with her, and that there were no other women in his heart at this moment, it would be enough, wouldn't it?
With the thought in mind, Clarissa raised the corner of her mouth contentedly.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the study.
The light in the room was a little dim, as Anderson sat on the leather chair behind his desk, leaning against the back of the chair, his gaze was rather sullen.
On the computer screen in front of him, was the face of the man who was on a video call with him. The man in front of him was talking fluently in a foreign language, but throughout the whole process, Anderson was only listening and did not respond.
It was not until the man had talked for over ten minutes and had almost finished everything he could say, he asked helplessly after seeing that Anderson was still silent, "Anderson, what would it take you to agree to evacuate those people? With your men there, it is really hard for us to function. We don't want to expose your identity, but if your men don't go away, we have no choice but to reveal your identity!"
Sitting there with his eyes slightly narrowed, he put his slender hands on the armrest, gently tapping on the armrest from time to time.
The man on the other end seemed to have lost his patience completely, as he said angrily, "Anderson, everyone says you are a man of your word. But, now that you have boldly annexed our territory, is this the way you show your loyalty? Haven't we always been best friends in the past few years? Eight years ago, I was still helping you..."
"Kris," Anderson suddenly spoke.
Stunned, Kris suddenly stopped speaking.
Glancing to the left and right, he seemed to look a little guilty.
"Anderson, you have to understand, that currently, business over here is not good. Several nearby forces are slowly taking over us. This territory is now our last lifeline. If you're not willing to give us this piece of land, we really have no room for retreat. Even if I am not doing it for my own sake, I have no choice but to turn against you for the hundreds of subordinates who followed me. Anderson, we have gone through life and death together, and I really don't want to get into such a bad situation with you!"
At that moment, Kris was doing his best to convince him, almost begging him in the most humble manner.
However, Anderson remained composed, as he sat there with a calm gaze. It was as if what he had heard was merely an insignificant matter.
After a while, he suddenly said, "You want that piece of territory? You can have it."
Without uttering a word all night, the words that he just blurted sounded like nature.
As soon as Kris heard this, he was so excited that a huge smile appeared on his face.
"Really? Do you really mean to let me have this piece of land?"
Narrowing his long and narrow eyes, Anderson smiled slyly.
"Yes, but as an exchange, you have to agree to a condition."
As soon as he finished his words, Kris, who was still smiling a second ago, suddenly pulled a long face.
Bitterly, he said, "Anderson. I thought we shouldn't be talking about conditions between us brothers?"
But, Anderson narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Since you don't want to, then..."
"Hey, don't!" Immediately interrupting him, Kris was afraid that he would take back his words.
Although in his heart, he thought the fact that Anderson was willing to sacrifice such a large piece of land for him, was really out of the ordinary, and it might even be very difficult for him to do so.
However, there was no way for him to retreat now, so regardless of what Anderson requested, he could only agree.
With these thoughts in mind, he asked, "Just tell me, what do you want?"
"I heard that there is a new supply of heart with rhesus-negative blood on the black market."
Hearing that, Kris was completely shocked!
"Um... "
Frowned, he seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.
But, Anderson was not in a rush, as he looked at him with a calm and composed expression. He knew that Kris would definitely agree.
As expected, in less than a minute, he heard a sigh.
"Hmm, I'll tell you the truth. You know, this rhesus-negative blood type is extremely rare. Anywhere in the world, as long as there is an organ transplant that needs this type of blood, the price is always marked up."
"I do have this, but it has been reserved by a foreign businessman in advance. But since you want it, I can't do anything about it. I can only give it to you first, and I will find a way to explain it."
But Anderson knew that even though he said so, he would definitely come up with another way afterward.
As a result, he raised the corner of his lips and said, "Alright, when will it be delivered?"
"For this kind of thing, of course, the sooner the better. But if an accident happened, I'd probably lose the territory. So I think it will probably reach Ascijan in three days at most."
Finally, Anderson revealed a long-lost smile, as he said to the person on the screen sincerely, "Since that's the case, I hope we will have a happy cooperation."
Laughing bitterly, Kris didn't know if he was laughing at himself or Anderson.
Then he followed. "Hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you too."
After hanging up the video call, Anderson looked at the time, and it was ten o'clock at night.
Then, he got up and went downstairs.
As soon as he reached the end of the stairs, he saw Clarissa coming out of Anne's bedroom.
After a pause in his footsteps, he walked down and asked, "Is Anne asleep?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing the question, Clarissa nodded and walked up to him. When she saw that he was still dressed in the same outfit he wore in the day, she knitted her brows.
"I thought you were going to take a shower. Why haven't you taken a shower yet?"
With a smile, Anderson said, "There's no rush. It's still early."
Hearing that, Clarissa sighed helplessly.
Reaching out her hand, she adjusted the collar of his shirt that was slightly messy, and said, "Have you forgotten? Tomorrow you are going to Ashax Country for a business trip at six o'clock in the morning. If you don't take a shower and go to sleep early, how are you going to get up tomorrow morning?"
As Carrissa stood right in front of him, there was a faint fragrance emanating from her body, which made Anderson gasped.
Speaking of which, it had been a few years since the two of them had been together. The novelty of their relationship should have passed a long time ago.
Not to mention that Clarissa was already a woman who had given birth to a child, and since the both of them were already parents, naturally, they would not be as clingy as the new couple, wanting to be with each other all the time.
But the two of them were strangely different.
Time did not seem to dilute the feelings between the two. On the contrary, their feelings grew stronger.
It was just like fine wine. The longer it was placed, the mellower it tasted. The smell would make one feel comfortable.
As for Clarissa, although she was already the mother of two, she still had the charm. No longer as young as a teenage girl, she exuded an amorous charm of a mature woman.
