After completing the rest of the work, Anna thought of watering the plants. She was busy taking care of the garden when a maid called her gaining her attention. Anna frowned noticing a box in the maid's hands but went to her. 

"What happened, Sophia?" She asked. 

"Mrs. Miller, This is for you," She said forwarding the box in Anna's direction. 

"For me?" 

"Yes, Sir has sent this for you," She told her making her nod. Giving the box to her, the maid left leaving her alone with the box. Anna frowned looking at it. It was wrapped in a beautiful sparkling blue cover. She shrugged leaving the garden and went upstairs to their bedroom to check the box. 

She placed the box on the bed. Sitting in front of it on the edge, she unwrapped the thin cover opening the box. Her mouth formed an 'O' seeing a beautiful red dress. 

She took it out, gasping, she kept starring at the decent dress in front of her eyes. It was a beautiful full-length gown. A smile appeared on her lips looking at the beautiful dress. Her eyes caught a small velvet box inside the big box. She frowned leaning and pick up the velvet box. 

She opened the box only to find a beautiful necklace set inside. She almost gasped looking at the expensive jewelry that Ivan had sent with the dress for her. She knew what he wants as he already told her in the morning about an official function. 

A slight grin appeared on her face looking at the decent dress. She liked Ivan's choice by analyzing all the works on the beautiful dress. She kept the dress and necklace back in the box. Going towards the closet, she placed the box inside the closet and went out to complete the left of the work as also had to get ready by the evening. 

After one hour, she finished making the lunch when the maid again comes inside with a phone in her hand forwarding it towards Anna's directions. Anna frowned taking the phone looking at her in puzzlement. 

"It's Sir's call. He wanted to talk to you," The maid informed. Anna nodded bringing the phone closer to her ear as the maid left. 

"Umm... Yes?" 

"What are you doing?" Anna frowned hearing his deep voice. Shrugging, she closed the stove taking off her apron. 

"I just finished preparing lunch," She informed. 

"Hmm, And did you took Nancy to her academy?" 

"Yes, I did. And sent her safely into the bus," apprised Anna making Ivan hummed in response. 

"Good. I called you to tell you that I will be back at 6 PM. Be ready," He informed. 

"Okay," She murmured nibbling her lip getting goosebumps at the thought that he is taking her out again. She was just praying for nothing bad to happen with her this time as she has already faced one worst in past.
