Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately became angry. He stared indignantly at Wayne, and his face turned red. He kept shaking and shivering for a long time before writing down a line, “It’s not her fault. I didn’t go to the hospital because I ate something bad.”
Wayne thought he was joking and said, “Come on, you don’t have to speak for her. You can eat the snacks she gave you, but you can’t go out alone with her anymore.”
Matthew gritted his teeth in anger. He violently grabbed Wayne’s hand and bit him on the back.
Wayne grunted and dared not shake him off for fear of hurting him. He said unhappily “Matthew, what are you doing?”
Matthew let go of his hand and pointed to the words just written on the drawing board with a fierce look on his face.
Wayne didn’t think much about it. He only felt that Matthew’s temper was getting grumpier and grumpier, and he needed to keep him under control.
“What interest class do you want to take? Is a sketching class okay? I’ll have the housekeeper sign you up for a class tomorrow. I need to keep you busy, or you’ll always be thinking about it.”
Matthew was so angry that his face turned red, and he threw a pillow at Wayne’s back indignantly. He let out a “Hmph!”sound and wrapped himself up in the blanket.
Tammy spent the entire weekend watching Anna.
As soon as Anna’s phone rang, she listened carefully to her call. But two whole days passed and she didn’t receive a single call from Wayne.
On Sunday night, Tammy couldn’t hold back any longer. She hid in her bedroom and dialed a phone number. As soon as the call was answered, she said urgently, “Sir, the relationship between my mommy and Uncle Wright is very bad now.”
On the other end of the line, an old, calm voice said, “Okay, I’ll take care of this.” The next morning.
When Anna first arrived at the hotel, she sensed something unusual about the atmosphere there.
“Good morning, Miss Gabriel.” “Good morning.”
She walked to the office and felt that many people were looking at her. She felt a little puzzled and that she had never been stared at like that. It made her even wonder if she was wearing unmatching shoes or if she had something on her face.
“Miss Gabriel, hello,” John greeted her.
“Good morning. Why do you have that look on your face?” Anna looked at him, frowned, and said
*I’m happy for you. You don’t know that yet, do you? Don’t be too surprised. Look!” John smiled and stood in the doorway of her office. With that, he pulled open the door.
Her office was filled with roses of all colors. There were flowers almost everywhere, from the desk to the corner, making the office look like a flower store
Anna stared wide-eyed and asked, “What’s going on?” John smiled and replied, “You haven’t see it yet? Valentine’s Day is coming up, so this must be a surprise from your husband. The roses are perfectly just in time.”
Anna frowned, feeling even more puzzled.
Everyone at the hotel knew she had a child, so they all assumed she had a husband. She didn’t explain it to avoid other misunderstandings. So when they saw someone give her so many roses, it made sense for them to think it was from her husband.
only, he would not have sent her so many flowers.
Only after John’s reminder did she see the card on the table. ‘To Anna’, the card wrote.
Looking at John’s curious expression, Anna hid the card back and said, “Get to work. Don’t you have anything to do?” – “Hey, I don’t want to look at this kind of lovey-dovey stuff yet.” John laughed a few times, then quickly ran off.
Anna was left alone in the office. She slowly opened the card and saw a sentence written by pen: “I apologize for what I said to you a few days ago.”
Anna froze. After she thought about it, she knew who had sent it. It cheered her. She smiled and was deeply touched.
The room full of roses and the words of apology on the card made her feel better. But, when she calmed down and sat down, she was still feeling worried.
Through her time with Wayne, Anna found that he was not as indifferent as he seemed. He was a responsible man, both towards the women around him and the children. However, this was not why she could let him take care of Matthew just like that.
She had been in touch with the hospital doctor because she was worried about Matthew. When she learned that his vomiting and diarrhea were not caused by food poisoning but by fever, she was not only not relieved, but she felt even worse.
In her opinion, although Wayne doted on Matthew very much, he just wasn’t attentive enough. When they first met, the chandelier fell and almost hit Matthew. Later, Matthew was often sick. Anna could see that he simply did not take good care of the child over the years from these incidents.
She believed that she should talk to him about Matthew later.
As she was thinking, her assistant John returned and said to her, “The people from the headquarters said they would come here to do a random inspection. Mr. Wright and some old directors from the board of directors are coming to visit the hotel later. Should we prepare anything?”
Anna returned to her senses and replied, “No need. When will they arrive?”
“The headquarters said that Mr. Wright has already left and will arrive in about fifteen minutes.”
“OK, ask the manager in charge of the lobby today to come, and let some other foremen to go with me. The others can just do their own jobs.”
After a few more words, Anna straightened her clothes and calmly walked out of the office.
Wayne was not the kind of person who liked superficial formality. Since he and the board of directors were coming to inspect, they wanted to see how the hotel usually was. Anna always worked hard, so she would not panic.
Soon after she came downstairs, she saw three black cars stop in front of the hotel. Several men in their 40s and 50s in suits got out of the cars, and it was clear that they were all members of the board of directors.
They were walking into the hotel side by side with Wayne.
Anna and Wayne looked at each other. Thinking about the room full of flowers in her office, she smiled out and nodded at him, “Mr. Wright, how are you?”
After Mr. Brown greeted the rest of the people, he introduced them to Anna, “Anna, this is Mr. Wright, you know him. These two are Mr. Perez and Mr. Campbell from the board of directors.”
Anna bent down slightly and took the initiative to shake their hands. Both gentlemen looked serious and didn’t show any smiles all the way. They didn’t say why they were here, only wanted to see the hotel environment.
Anna let two foremen to show them around while she followed behind apprehensively and suspiciously
Wayne was listening and nodding from time to time.
Anna took a notebook and recorded what they said. She didn’t know what they would do, but she knew it would be helpful to write it down.
After walking around for a while, the two directors suggested that they should call the hotel managers to an impromptu meeting in the conference room.
Mr. Brown organized the meeting, while Anna went back to her office to get the materials. She had just reached the door when she met Wayne, who had just come back from the bathroom
She greeted him respectfully. After a second of hesitation, she asked, “I’ve never seen the directors come to the hotel to inspect in person. Is there something wrong? Why they came here themselves?”
Wayne glanced at her and looked a little surprised. He replied, “There are foreign guests coming to the city for exchange in two days, and they will stay here. So, they came to see the rooms first.”
They hadn’t talked to each other since that day when they had a row at the hospital. He didn’t expect Anna to act as if she didn’t care, as if she didn’t take the events of that day seriously.
“Foreign guests are coming?”
