Chapter 196: Chapter 196

Julian took Annalise skiing and arranged for two photographers to follow them. Three years ago, Annalise and Madeline went skiing once, but they did not spend too much time, and she was not good at skiing. Three years later, she had to learn how to ski again.

Julian was very patient. He squatted in the snow and thoughtfully helped Annalise put on her protective gear. The photographer captured the entire scene of Julian helping Annalise put on her gear. Annalise saw the two photographers. She smiled and waved at them. The photographers immediately ran over and asked politely, “Mrs. Parks, what can I do for you?”

“There’s no need to edit today’s photos. Other than the photos, you can also record some short videos.

After you’re done, hand them directly to the executive assistant Simon.” Annalise also informed the assistant on Whatsapp to upload the photos and videos as quickly as possible without editing. Pictures taken by the photographer could be uploaded directly.

Their Twitter followers would be able to see what they were doing immediately. It was almost in real time. Over the past few days, as the popularity of the competition increased, their Twitter account gained another influx of fans. Especially a few days ago, when Annalise had a bet with Gwen about traditional and modern medicine. That day, they gained more than a million fans.

On the day she won the bet, many of their followers placed orders to show their support. However, Simon said that Timothy’s sales had suddenly soared because he had finalized a contract with a company with many chain stores. Simon had asked around. All of them were luxury goods shops that operated under the Xander family’s corporation.

Timothy’s wife was the Xander family’s daughter, Jasmine. It was normal for the Xander family to help him. with sales. “Don’t think about work today. Let’s have fun.” Julian saw that Annalise was always thinking about boosting sales. He said gently, “Don’t worry. I’m going to win!” “Alright.” Annalise smiled.

“Come on,” Julian wanted to hold Annalise’s hand.

The coach immediately stopped him. “Don’t hold hands. It’s easier to fall if you do.” “It’s alright.” Julian insisted on holding Annalise’s hand. His skiing skills were good. She would fall less if he was with her.

Besides, at most, he would fall with her. What was the big deal?

Annalise did not give her hand to Julian. She smiled sweetly at him. “No, I’ll ski on my own.” She would be fine after settling down and taking her time to ski. “I’ll hold your hand,” Julian insisted. Annalise shook his head. “No, I’ll skate ski my own. Show me how to do it first.”

“Okay.” Julian was about to give Annalise a demonstration, but he thought that if he were in front of her, he would not have a chance to help her up if she fell. He said, “I’ll get the coach to show you.” “Please?

Show me,” Annalise whined. How could Julian say no to her? He agreed readily. “Okay.” He gave Annalise a demonstration. He leaned forward slightly and slid.

Annalise was a quick learner in everything. She saw Julian’s movements. Coupled with the fact that she had tried it three years ago, she tilted her body and slid forward. The coach was anxious and immediately chased after her. “Slow down. Don’t be so fast. You’re a beginner.

It’s easy to fall if you’re fast. Although you’re wearing protective gear, it still hurts if you fall. You have to be careful. If you fall too hard, you’ll easily have a concussion…” Before the coach could finish, Annalise sped up because she had already slid in another direction.

The other direction had a higher slope than the coach’s designated location, so she naturally went faster. Julian slid down and quickly stopped. When he turned around, he saw Annalise sliding down extremely fast. He was shocked. Before he could call out to her, he saw her slide past him and continue to slide down the slope. Julian was so scared that he immediately chased after her.

Annalise was sliding quickly. At first, she was nervous as the slope increased in steepness. But toward the end, she began to enjoy the feeling of galloping. It was as if her entire body was flying. The wind whistled in her ears and blew on her face. She became strangely alert. The surroundings were white and clean. It was magniicent. It was so pure that she wanted to live in such a world of ice and snow forever.

Julian quickly chased after Annalise. When Annalise saw that Julian had caught up with her, her lips curled up and she slid even faster. “Annie, slow down,” Julian shouted from behind. Annalise smiled and continued to slide forward.

The two photographers carried their cameras and ran as fast as they could. After taking photos of their silhouettes, they wanted to run in front of Annalise and Julian to capture their romantic moments. But just as the photographers managed to rush in front of them, they slid away again and left the photographers with nothing but their silhouettes.

The photographers could only run as fast as they could around the resort. One of the photographers fell and quickly protected his camera. The other photographer rocked back on his heels with laughter.

“What are you laughing at? Hurry up and follow them. Focus!” The photographer laughed and reached out to pull his colleague up. The two of them continued to take pictures.

After running a few rounds, they could not run anymore. They began to send the photos and videos to the executive assistant Simon. “How was it? Did the photos look good?” “It’s awesome. Mrs. Parks is so good at skiing. She was a little rusty at first, but now she’s almost as good as Mr. Parks.” “She’s really smart. She’s business-minded, too.” “Most importantly, she’s good-looking.” “And she’s also a doctor.”

“Speaking of this, I regret it so much. If I had known earlier, I would have bet all my assets that day. If I had gone all-in on Mrs. Parks winning, I would have saved many years of hard work.” “Haha. I bet 20 thousand dollars and made a small profit. I’m going to my hometown to make a down payment for a house on Christmas.” “Damn. I’m so jealous.”

“Mate, if there are similar bets in the future, don’t be afraid. Just bet on Mrs. Parks winning.” “Yeah.”

The two of them chatted as they retrieved the photos and videos from the cameras and sent them to the executive assistant Simon. When they were almost done, they looked up and saw Julian and Annalise skiing far away. “Are we still shooting?” one photographer asked the other.

The photographer who was asked smiled helplessly. “We have to. It’s our job. December 20th is coming, and it’ll be our last day. When the boss wins, we’ll earn some winnings, too.” “Come on, then.”

The two photographers quickly ran to catch up with Annalise and Julian to take more photos.

Annalise was now skiing well. The coach did not believe that this was her second time skiing. Julian had been on tenterhooks for a long time. Now that he saw Annalise skiing quickly and steadily, he was relieved. As he started enjoying himself, he chased her path and finally skied alongside her. Suddenly, Annalise turned her head and smiled gently at Julian. Then, a tragedy happened….
