“Mr. Wright, I’ve made a restaurant reservation for you and Miss Gabriel at 6:30 tonight.” He said
Wayne said coldly and sullenly, “Cancel it.” Gabe didn’t dare to speak again. When he looked in the rearview mirror, he saw that Wayne looked as if he was pissed off.
“Okay, I get it. By the way, is Ms. Gabriel working late tonight?” He asked.
Just as he finished speaking, he could feel that Wayne immediately gave him an angry look. It made him shudder and scared. It was until then that he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
What made him feel relief was that Wayne’s phone then rang. Seeing it was Karl calling, Wayne looked at his phone and answered. “Hello?” Karl said cautiously, “Hi, Wayne. Did Anna know about the news?” “Yeah.” Wayne said sullenly. “Did you guys have a fight?” Karl asked with all his guts. “No.”
Karl could hear that he was lying. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Hey, Wayne, I’m going to France for a vacation tomorrow and I won’t be back for a while. If anything wrong happens at the hotel, you can call my assistant.
Karl used to vacation abroad to avoid the mess whenever he annoyed a woman he shouldn’t, and Wayne certainly knew this. So, he didn’t ask anything about it.
“Oh, so, when are you coming back?” Karl said, “Well, it depends. Oh, there’s something I need to tell you.” “What is it?”
“Actually, Peace saw that news last night. She went to my place with Tammy, and then I accidentally told them what I said to you the other day. You know, about the truth about this fake news. I didn’t expect you to make the news all over the internet on one night.”
Wayne asked in disbelief, “What?! What are you talking about? How…” “Sorry. I know you don’t want to see me, so I went abroad for a while. I’m sorry, bro.” Karl hung up the phone immediately without waiting for Wayne to finish his questions.
Wayne looked at the screen and thought about what Karl had just said. Suddenly, he seemed to have it all figured out. Then, he frowned and called Karl again.
However, Karl had already turned off his phone. Wayne hung up and texted Karl, “You’d better never come back.” He had fully understood what Karl had just meant by those words.
Wayne thought that no wonder Anna acted indifferently no matter what he said, as if she already knew what he was going to say
He felt that he was really being misunderstood. “Gabe, don’t cancel the reservation. Please go back to the hotel.” Wayne said. “Okay” Gabe felt surprised when he saw Wayne looking a little remorseful in the rearview mirror.
Wayne went straight to Anna‘s office when he returned to the hotel. However, she wasn’t there
He then ran into Anna’s assistant, John, at the door.
After seeing Wayne, John asked nervously, “Hello, Mr. Wright. May I ask why you are back?”
All the people working at the hotel talked about Wayne and Anna’s conversation in the cafeteria. People were speculating about what happened afterward, and some even said that the whole floor heard Wayne slam the door and said he would break up with Anna.
John wondered why Wayne had come back.
“Where’s Miss Gabriel?” Wayne saw the work card on John’s shirt before remembering that he was Anna’s assistant.
John came back to his senses and immediately replied, “Oh, she is on leave this afternoon; she just left ten minutes ago.”
“Ah? She had left?”
Wayne frowned and began to regret that he had spoken to Anna that way. He was afraid that Anna wouldn’t want to work here because she was too angry.
John looked at Wayne’s expression, and then carefully said, “Scott Grosz is having his first concert Today, and Miss Gabriel said she’s going to be there tonight.”
Wayne froze and asked, “She’s going there by herself?”
John shook his head and said, “No, I saw Ryan waiting for her at the door, so I think they’re going together. Also, it seems that she’s bringing her daughter with her.”
Hearing Ryan’s name, Wayne immediately became huffy. He found it strange, not understanding why Wayne was always around Anna.
“Oh, don’t worry, I’ve already arrived at the parking lot. You should get ready now.” “Anna, there’s a parking space over there.” Ryan interrupted her. “Yeah? Where is it?”
Immediately after seeing the space, Anna turned the steering wheel and said, “Hey, sorry, I’m going to hang up. I’ll call your assistant after I get in.”
“Okay.” Scott said, and his voice echoed in the car.
Anna pulled Peace’s car into that parking space. Then, she went straight backstage with Ryan and Tammy.
Scott’s assistant was waiting for them right at the door. As soon as he saw them, he looked relieved.
As he showed them the way to the dressing room, he said, “Oh, Anna! Thank god you’re here! Scott has been asking if you have arrived for the last two hours. You know, he even wanted me to wait for you here at noon. He was worried that you would go to the wrong place.”
Anna felt a little bemused and said, “Why? How could that be? It’s his first concert. How can he be distracted and not focus on practicing? If he keeps doing it, I won’t come here next time.”
At that moment, two people carrying props in front of them walked past quickly. The microphone in their hands almost hit her face.
Luckily, Ryan pulled her away in time.
Scott’s assistant went pale with fear. He scolded them immediately, “Hey, you, be careful! You can’t afford to hurt her or the prop.”
Anna immediately said she was okay. She understood that the concert was about to start and people were busy getting ready for it, and there was no need for them to quarrel over such a trivial matter.
She looked back at Tammy with worry. And she was about to tell Ryan to protect Tammy when she noticed that he had already picked her up.
Ryan was holding Tammy in his arms.
Seeing that, Anna froze for a moment. Her first impression of Ryan was the terrified look he had when he had woken up in the hospital after being hit by her. After that, Anna had always assumed he was a simple and innocent young man who didn’t know much about the world.
She found it strange that he acted so mature even if his memory hadn’t returned.
Anna thought that maybe he was supposed to be like that. But then, she couldn’t help but think, how can Ryan be so mature as he is still a young adult? What has he been through?
“It’s too crowded here, so I’d better take Tammy to the front ” Ryan said, bringing her back to her senses
Anna nodded and said, “Yes, thank you. I’m going to have a quick word with Scott, and then I’ll meet you. Is the concert going to start soon?”
The assistant glanced at his phone and said, “Yes. It’s about to start in ten minutes.”
Ryan carried Tammy to the auditorium, and Anna followed the assistant into the dressing room
“Where’s Scott?” Anna asked when she saw that the stylists, makeup artists, and his agent were all in the room, but he was not.
“He just went to the bathroom. He should be back soon.” The agent said.
He smiled warmly at the sight of Anna and said to her, “Have a seat, Anna. Where’s little Tammy?”
“I sent her to the audience. It’s too crowded here and I’m afraid she’ll get lost.”
People in Scott’s studio were familiar with Anna. His agent and assistant had followed him throughout when he filmed his travel variety show before, so they were all particularly fond of Tammy
Although Wayne always said that he didn’t like Scott, he arranged the best team and maximum publicity for him. Scott had only made his debut a few months ago, and his tickets for this first solo concert sold out quickly.
Thinking about this, Anna felt a little proud and even forgot about her argument with Wayne at noon.
“Sorry, lady, you can’t get in.” “Why? Do you know who am I?” A woman’s voice came from the doorway. Everyone looked to the door. Then, the door was opened.
A huge bouquet of pink flowers entered the door first, which blocked the face of the person holding it
“Surprise! I hope your first concert would be a great success!” The woman said in a sweet voice
The manager immediately frowned, “What the hell? Who is she? Who let her in?”
