“Do you think that every woman around Mr. Wright would like to seduce him so that they can get his money?”
“I think nine out of ten will do so. Who knows what was on your mind when you saved Matthew? Or can you tell me how you, a manager in training, was able to send your daughter to Blue Castle? You just wanted to make more chances to get closer to Wayne. I’m no stranger to the filthy thoughts of you people. I have seen a lot of women like you.”
Seeing that Ada’s mind was full of evil thoughts and listening to her acerbic words, Anna asked with a dark face, “A woman like me?”
“Yes. A shameless woman who achieves her goal by seducing rich men.” Ada twitched her mouth and sneered at Anna, “I’m warning you now. Don’t cast your greedy eyes on the man and the things that don’t belong to you. Otherwise, you need to be careful about your daughter.”
Anna’s hands clenched involuntarily when she heard Ada’s words. She said, “Miss Xavier, you are responsible for what you said. I’m not interested in Mr. Wright at all. All your suspicion is only an illusion because of nervousness.”
When Ada was about to say something more, she saw from the corner of her eye that a man she was quite familiar with came out of the kindergarten. She immediately put a bright smile on her face and turned around to greet him, “Wayne, why are you so late?”
“I got held up.” Wayne looked at her perfunctorily and then looked at Anna, who was standing behind Ada. He asked, “I have some work to do at the hotel. Are you going with me?”
. Ada had already warned her. If she didn’t keep a distance from Wayne Wright now, Ada would take her action as a deliberate provocation. She didn’t want to make any trouble, so she shook her head quickly, “No, I’ll take a taxi.”
Wayne didn’t insist. He got into the car with Ada and went to the hotel.
Ada kept staring at Wayne on the way and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood. She was more and more suspicious that something happened in the kindergarten. I
She carefully asked, “Wayne, I know Ms. Gabriel saved Matthew, but don’t you think that you have been too kind to her?”
Looking out of the window at the street, Wayne said unemotionally, “Have I? You are Ehinking too much.”
“It must be you who made the arrangement to get her daughter into Blue Castle.” Wayne’s face darkened. He looked at the driver and said coldly, “»
“Gabe has been more and more careless in hiring people. Go to the accounting department this afternoon to clear your salary. You don’t need to come tomorrow.”
“Mr. Wright.” The driver panicked, “I…Sorry…….”
“I asked him first.” Ada hurriedly explained, “It just came out of my mouth. I didn’t mean anything. Why are you so serious about it? Will you admit now that you care too much about Anna Gabriel?”
“I’ve told you,” said Wayne in an annoyed tone, glancing at her impatiently, “You are thinking too much.”
“Really? I just think…”
“I don’t care what you think.” Wayne shot a warning glance at her, “If you won’t stop talking about this topic, you can get out of the car now. You have had too many questions lately.”
Ada closed her mouth. Her hands unconsciously gripped on the purse on her knee, her knuckles white. She had an instinct that Anna Gabriel was definitely not that simple.
Wayne looked out of the window, but he wasn‘t in a mood to appreciate the street scenes.
Ada‘s words had reminded him. Thinking back on his behaviors during this time, he suddenly realized that he did treat Anna Gabriel differently.
Was it because she saved Matthew?
No, that was not all. His assistant, Gabe, and the butler had already shown thanks to her. It was not part of his plan to help her daughter to go to Blue Castle and to let Matthew study with her. These thoughts lingered in his mind and made him confused.
He was caught up in the heavy traffic, and it had been noon when they arrived at the hotel.
The hotel manager and the foremen stood in two neat rows. Wayne walked between the staff and took a glance at them. He saw that Anna stood at the end of the row. When he passed her, he couldn‘t help but check her out twice. How odd. The ordinary uniform looked inexplicably beautiful on her.
Anna became worried since Wayne didn‘t go away and kept staring at her, so she asked, “Mr. Wright, is there anything wrong?”
Wayne stopped looking at her, frowning, “Your name tag is awry.”
Then he strode into the hotel, leaving Anna looking down at her name tag clipped upright on her uniform. She looked at Wayne‘s back and was confused. My tag‘s not awry.Picky boss.
Wayne gathered the managers of the hotel on the second floor to have a meeting about the anniversary at the end of next month.
It had been determined that the events would be held in the hotel, but detailed plans hadn‘t been finished.
When Wayne took over the Carousel Group at the age of twenty, he initiated the move into hotel industry and founded Carousel Hotel. After ten years of development, the hotel chain had made great achievements and could be found everywhere in the country. The one Anna worked in was the first Carousel Hotel that Wayne took the lead to build.
This hotel meant a lot to him, so it was natural to celebrate the centennial anniversary here.
“The centennial anniversary is also a great opportunity to publicize our group…”
Anna was drowsing while the managers were talking passionately. As a manager in training, she sat at the end of the row. She pretended to take notes, but in fact she had drawn a full page of turtles on the notebook.
“These plans are too old–fashioned. Does anyone have other suggestions?” Wayne‘s voice echoed in the conference room.
Anna covered her mouth and lowered her head to yawn without other people‘s noticing. When will this meeting end? I‘m starving.
“Gabriel, what do you think?”
“What?” She raised her head, not aware of what was going on. Under the gaze of the people in the room, she quickly stood up and said, “Mr. Wright, did you call me?”
Wayne looked at her, stony–faced, and said, “Everyone has expressed their opinions. Don‘t you have anything to say about the centennial anniversary?”
Anna took a deep breath and said slowly, “I‘ve been thinking about it, but I haven‘t as those of the managers. Please give me some more time to make a better plan.”
“What‘s that?” Wayne narrowed his eyes and then looked at her notebook, “I saw you write a lot of things on your notebook. You must‘ve written many ideas on it.”
“No. It‘s nothing.” She hurriedly put her hands on the notebook. “Let me have a look.” Wayne said resolutely, not allowing anyone to refuse him.
Anna turned pale, and her hands froze there. She couldn‘t refuse her boss in front of so many people, which meant she didn‘t have another choice. Before she handed the notebook to Wayne, she secretly turned a few pages and prayed to God that he wouldn‘t see what she drew.
After taking the notebook, Wayne‘s face changed. He glanced at her with a frown. It was the minute of the meeting indeed.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile, “It‘s really just some notes of the meeting. I‘ve got no bright idea.”
Wayne didn‘t say anything. His index finger suddenly lifted a corner of the notebook and directly turned to the page full of turtles as Anna stared at him in astonishment.
Anna touched her forehead, feeling extremely embarrassed and worried. Drawing some turtles shouldn‘t be counted as malpractice. Besides, I‘m the one who saved his son. He won‘t punish me, right? This is just a fault of not concentrating in a meeting..
“I think I have ignored your talent before, Gabriel.” He was secretly mocking her drawing.
Hearing Wayne‘s compliment, all the people in the room nodded and agreed with him unctuously, which made Anna more anxious.
She knew she had offended him by pushing him on the swing this morning. Now she was caught drawing turtles in the meeting. What a bad day!
“This idea of combining tradition with innovation is excellent. It is in line with the original business philosophy of Carousel Hotel. I see. Gabriel has done a lot of research.” The meeting room resounded with Wayne‘s deep voice.
