Wayne twisted the door handle and discovered that it would not budge. He didn‘t seem to believe it and made several more attempts.
Nonetheless, he failed.
He then knocked on the door and asked in frustration, “Anna, could you please open the door?”
Anna asked teasingly, “Why? What do you want, Wayne?” “Well, I need to use the hairdryer.”
Anna yawned deliberately and said, “Oh, there‘s a new one in the bathroom. I‘m so exhausted tonight. Bye, good night.”
She then turned off the light in the room before Wayne could respond.
The only light in the bedroom was a small night light next to the bed, making the space appear cosy.
For a brief moment, Wayne stood awkwardly in the doorway. When he looked into Ryan‘s bedroom, he noticed that the door was shut.
In fact, even if Ryan hadn‘t locked the door, he wasn‘t going to get in as he didn‘t want to share a bedroom with Ryan at all.
Tammy woke up at six every morning out of habit. Just as she yawned and climbed down from the top bunk, she suddenly realized that something was ofl.
Tammy kept talking about everything she had seen this morning as they were having breakfast.
She said, “Our bed is small. Mr. Wright can‘t even stretch his legs when he‘s lying on Matthew‘s bed! Matthew was curled up at the bedside and couldn‘t move at all.”
Ryan burst out laughing and nearly choked on his food. As he laughed, he coughed, and a bean came out of his nose.
Tammy looked surprised at him, then sat back and exclaimed, “Eww! Ryan, that‘s disgusting!”
“I‘m sorry, Tammy, I didn‘t mean to do that,” Ryan laughed.
Anna kept her head down and tried not to laugh out loud. She could swear that she had no idea Ryan would lock the bedroom door.
Also, she had never thought that Wayne would sleep in the kids‘ bedroom. The bunk bed in their bedroom was designed for children and didn‘t even have enough space for teenagers to sleep on. So Wayne, who was over six feet tall, was bound to feel cramped when he slept there.
Wayne frowned at her and asked angrily, “Do you think this is funny, Anna? Last night…”
Anna stood up in a panic, afraid he would speak out of turn that they had had sex the other night in front of the kids.
She quickly put her knife, fork and plate away before picking up her bag and saying, “OK, I‘m full. Well, I‘m going to work now. I haven‘t checked what was on Twitter last night, so I‘m going to see what are they talking about now.”
She then walked away. The room became hushed after she shut the door.
Tammy finished her meal and returned to her room, leaving Wayne and Ryan staring at each other at the table.
“You can‘t hold it against me! You were the one who said you didn‘t want to be in my room last night! So lassumed you‘d prefer to sleep on the couch rather than in my room. Anyway, I had no idea you‘d sleep in the kids‘ room!” Ryan said.
Meanwhile, Wayne pursed his lips and tried desperately to resist the urge to beat him up when he saw the “innocent look on his face.
Tony had just entered the office when he informed Anna of the change in online comments on the previous night
“I bet the puble opinion is currently stable However, the time between twelve and five a mistupposed to be when internet data is suspended So, we cannot rely entirely on that information im worried that people will start talking about it again after a while so, we‘d better have another meeting and devise a backup plan.”
Anna said calmly, “Oh, that won‘t be necessary. We can all get back to work now. Could you please get ready for the press conference this afternoon? I‘ll let everyone work as usual.”
Andrew happened to walk in at that precise moment. “Come on, Andrew, I want to talk to you about something,” Anna said as she waved at him.
Andrew turned around and saw a man hiding in fear behind him. Then, he gave the man a sidelong glance before slamming the door shut.
“Anna plans to tell the press that she and Frank have cut their ties with each other long ago. Besides, she will announce her father‘s will and tell everyone that she has nothing to do with the Gabriel Group.”
Oscar hid in the restroom and then made a call, telling someone what Anna had just said about the public relations scheme.
“Good. Thank you very much.” “I‘ve already told you about her final proposal. So, can I leave this company now?”
The other man said, “Oh, not so soon. You know, this battle is just getting started. We‘ll discuss this after the meeting this afternoon.”
Oscar became agitated and said, “No, I can‘t wait that long. You‘re not going to let planned, are you? If I leave at that time, they will undoubtedly blame me.”
“Their company will be out of business by that time. So, you‘ll have a good reason to leave.”
“No, that‘s really not the case. Listen to me…” “OK, that‘s it. I‘m going to hang up now.” “Ah! No!”
However, the man cut Oscar off before he could finish. Oscar scratched his head in annoyance when he realized this. He was so irritated that he even wanted to smash the mirror in front of him.
He wasn‘t an i***t. When the manager of the White treated him like this, he knew they wouldn‘t keep their word.
At the break, Gabe left the office and went to the restaurant that Wayne had told him to go to. He was taken aback when he noticed Wayne eating with his two children,
“What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Wright? You can say it over the phone, and you don‘t have to come to see me in person.” Gabe said to Wayne respectfully,
“That‘s all right. The kids wanted to eat here, and it‘s close to the office.”
Hearing that, Gabe assumed that Wayne had come specifically to see him. However, he hadn‘t expected that Wayne was just here to take his kids to lunch.
“Are you ready? You know, about the press conference that will be held this afternoon.”
Gabe replied confidently, “Don‘t worry, I‘ve got a lot of experienced boxers. So, I‘m sure we can keep the scene in order. If anyone dares to cause trouble, those boxers will teach them a lesson.”
“OK, thanks,” Wayne said with a nod.
“You‘re welcome. By the way, I nearly finished looking into what you asked me to earlier.”
“All right, tell me what you know.”
