Karl sighed, glanced at Tammy sitting next to Peace, and said, “It’s not really that simple, and it’s not what it looked like. But, I think we should not let this kid hear our conversation.”
“Why?” Peace and Tammy asked at the same time.
Tammy pouted and said, “My mommy says that people don’t want to be heard only when they’re saying bad things. So, what do you want to say?”
Hearing her words, Karl was suddenly bewildered. He rubbed his nose and said, “Well, if you really want to know, I’ll tell you. But, I’m doing this for their own good. It’s not a big deal, so please don’t exaggerate this.”
“What do you mean?” “Wayne did it on purpose. Yes, he did it to make up with Anna.”
“Nonsense! If he really wanted to make up with her, then why would he do that? He went on vacation with another woman!”
Karl immediately explained, “That news is fake! All guys know that there are only two ways to make up with women, one is to give them a chance, and the other is to make them feel in crisis. He had already given Anna the chance to make up, but she ignored him. That’s why he wants to make Anna feel that her relationship was in danger.”
After listening to Karl’s nonsense about female psychology, Peace then frowned and fell silent. After a long time, she asked him angrily, “Who the hell told him to do this?”
Karl instantly sensed that he was the one in danger. He immediately explained, “Ah! He wanted to do it himself! Don’t look at me like that. I had nothing to do with it.”
Peace angrily exclaimed, “He’s shameless! Not only does he not think about what is wrong with him, but he uses such strange and lame logic to fool others. He’s really shameless! Tammy, let’s go.”
“Don’t be angry! Peace, you can’t tell Anna about this. Promise me!” Peace glared at him and said, “Even if I don’t tell her, Tammy will.” “My mommy hates liars!” Tammy grunted and followed Peace to storm out of the room. Karl blinked, somewhat overwhelmed. He realized that he had offended all of these people. If Wayne knew about this, he would never let me off. I should just hide, Karl thought.
The next day, as soon as Anna arrived at the hotel, she saw a group of people gathered in the office gossiping And she immediately knew what they were talking about
“Don’t you guys have work to do? Have you uploaded the customer information? Have you checked the rooms? Have you checked all the reservation information?”
Anna stood in front of the office and shouted Hearing her words, the people who had des Llal’s
+50 Points gathered before scattered and ran away. Then, without looking back, Anna went straight into her office.
Just as Anna sat down, her assistant, John, came in. He looked at her nervously, put a folder on her desk, and said, “Ms. Gabriel, here’s the client information.”
“Thanks.”
John didn’t leave immediately but hesitated for a while and said, “Anna, you’re a wonderful woman. You can definitely find a better man than Mr. Wright.”
Anna became even more furious. She growled, “Mind your own business! Don’t you have anything else to do? Just stop gossiping!”
“I’m sorry. I’ll leave now.” John nodded nervously and ran off. Almost everyone in the hotel looked at Anna in a meaningful way all morning.
However, Anna was not surprised by this, and she even went to the cafeteria for lunch, which gave the entire staff a chance to keep looking at her.
She calmly took her plate and sat down in the most conspicuous place in the cafeteria. Since you want to look at me, I‘ll let you do it. Anna thought.
Just as she sat down, she heard the people around her talking very loudly. While she was wondering why they were gossiping in such a high voice, she heard a person’s name. Upon hearing that name, she gritted her teeth.
“Mr. Wright…”
Wayne walked up to her, his tall figure blocking the light in front of her. Wayne then took a seat directly across from Anna.
“I’ve brought you lunch. I just went to your office to look for you, but you weren’t there. “Wayne said.
Anna could hear his deep voice clearly. Then, she immediately felt angry. She slammed her spoon down on the table and said, “This soup is too salty.”
Everyone around her dared not speak anymore. Even the lunch lady, who was far away from them, looked nervously at Wayne.
Everyone looked at each other and didn’t even dare to breathe.
Everyone realized that Anna was the first woman who dared to treat Wayne like this. Although Wayne went on a vacation with his ex, no woman dared to embarrass him like this in front of so many people. It seemed that Miss Gabriel was really hot-tempered.
Wayne didn’t seem to be angry. He just frowned and then said, “Anna, come with me to my office. I want to explain that news to you.”
Anna sat there still with her arms folded. She stared coldly at Wayne and said, “If you have something to say, say it here. Let everyone hear how the PR department is handling this.”
Everyone became quieter, and they could feel the tension in the atmosphere. They sensed as if they were at the center of a tornado
Wayne looked at everyone around him after a few seconds of silence and said, “The PR department has just made a clarification about that, and I’m sure everyone has read that. So, does anyone have any questions?”
Everyone was silent, knowing they couldn’t afford to speak out of turn.
“No.” One person said. Then, everyone was saying, “Yeah, please don’t worry. We all know this is just a hype.”
Wayne stood up, leaned over slightly, and moved closer to Anna across the table. He lowered his voice and said, “But, I want to tell you something just between the two of us. Come on, I’ll wait you at my office.”
Anna felt the warmth of his breath. She clenched her fists, looked at him, and said, “Sure.”
So, this time, what kind of excuse will you use to explain all of it? Don‘t you try to fool me, Wayne! Anna said to herself.
After they left, people in the cafeteria started talking again. Everyone in the hotel, except the lunch lady who was criticized for making the soup too salty, discussed the tension between Anna and Wayne.
“Miss Gabriel dares to lose her temper here. She’s such a tough woman! I think only she can handle a man as powerful as Mr. Wright. I bet she will be his wife.”
“I don’t think so. If Mr. Wright really likes a grumpy woman like her, then why would he cheat on her? I think he’s with her on a whim. The most important thing for a man is dignity, and he’s definitely not happy that Ms. Gabriel embarrassed him.”
Anna closed the office door to make the chattering stop. She looked calm but was somewhat contemptuous.
“There’s no one else here, so say what you want to say.” Anna said.
“I think you misunderstood me, Anna. I know you saw that news, but that’s not what it looks like.” Wayne looked calm and took the initiative to bring up the news that people had been talking about since last night.
Anna looked at him. She did her best to maintain a calm look even though she was furious toward him.
She said, “Since then, you should let me know what the truth really is. Don’t tell me you just ran into each other at the airport and then coincidentally met the paparazzi.”
Wayne frowned gently and said, “Ada made the appointment with that doctor, and I’ve told you that. When I took Matthew to Germany, it just so happened that she was shooting a commercial there. So, we ran into each other. Gabe is now dealing with the news. Soon, the
Wayne explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Anna almost believed in his words. If Peace hadn’t told her what Karl had said last night, she would have still thought she was overthinking and acting petty and blaming herself for not trusting him.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, “That’s it?” “What? You don’t believe me?” Wayne frowned.
He thought he had explained it clearly enough. He had never explained something that had never happened to anyone for so long in the last thirty years.
Anna glanced at him, then at her watch, and said, “Of course I believe you. Have you finished? You should go now. Please don’t take up any more of my personal time. You know, I have to work in five minutes.”
Looking at her cold expression, Wayne was somewhat puzzled. After seeing that she was acting very determined, he said directly, “Anna, I don’t like to play mind games with women.”
“I don’t like it either.” Anna replied immediately. They looked at each other, and neither of them said another word. After standing still for a long time, Wayne left the office and slammed the door. As she watched Wayne go, Anna gripped her desk tightly.
She knew that Wayne had done all this to make her see him flirting with another woman and get angry. Therefore, she decided to play along with him.
Wayne got into his car after leaving the hotel He realized that he had never felt so depressed
Gabe had no idea what was going on with them.
