Then she immediately turned around and fled.
She kept running. After a while, she ran out of the hotel and onto the road nearby. Eventually, Anna stopped and stood on a random street. As she gasped for air, many cars were driving past her.
Standing by a streetlight, Anna bent over her knees and panted heavily. At that moment, she realized that the glass in her hand was already empty and the towel had long been cold.
After walking out of the bathroom, the first thing Wayne did was look for Anna. However, he didn‘t see her. He asked the receptionist where she went, but they had just changed shifts and didn’t know what had just happened.
“She probably went back home. You know, it‘s late.” Charlotte said and took Wayne‘s hand.
Then she leaned against Wayne, blinking her reddened eyes and saying in a muffled voice, “Wayne, I‘m a little tired. Would you take me home?”
They stood at the front desk, making the receptionists look stunned.
The receptionists stared dumbfounded at them and wondered what was going on. They all knew that Wayne was in a relationship with Anna. So, they didn‘t know why Charlotte was so close to Wayne.
Wayne absentmindedly glanced at the hotel door and then had an ominous feeling.
He knew that Anna wouldn‘t leave the banquet without telling him, even if she had something urgent to take care of. After all, Anna had never done such a thing before.
Charlotte seemed so drunk that she closed her eyes and didn‘t move when she leaned on his shoulder. He frowned and told the driver to take her home first.
They arrived at a three–story villa on the west side of town. In the living room on the first floor, Charlotte took one of Wayne‘s hands affectionately. She tilted her head, saying inarticulately, “Wayne, you can think about what I said. Oh, you don‘t have to answer me in a hurry because I can wait for you.”
Wayne was about to walk away. When he heard her words, he paused. He looked down at Charlotte, who was lying on the couch and then shook her hand away
He said, “No, Charlotte. You‘re drunk.” “No! I‘m not drunk.”
Charlotte still didn’t want to stop. She threw her arms around Wayne’s waist and seemed to be crying. She said, “Wayne, I‘m scared. Don‘t go. Stay with me, okay?”
Wayne didn‘t shake her off again, but his gaze was indifferent. He said, “I called your brother, and he’ll come over later.”
Charlotte froze, and then slowly withdrew her arms around his waist. She sat on the couch with her head hanging.
Her curly bangs blocked her face. Even so, Wayne could tell she was very disappointed. Then, he frowned.
After a long time, she suddenly raised her head and complained, “Wayne, how could you do this to me! I was just joking with you. If you don‘t want to stay here, you can leave. Why did you tell my brother? Is it true that he will come later? If he knows that I’m drunk, he‘ll blame me.”
Hearing that, Wayne stopped frowning. He went back to Anna‘s apartment immediately after he left Charlotte‘s house. But he found
+25 Points that she wasn’t home and didn’t seem to have come back.
He then called Anna, but she didn’t answer. He called Henry, and Henry said she hadn’t been there.
“Mr. Wright, where are we going now?” Gabe asked. He had just pulled the car out of the block where Anna’s house was.
“To Peace‘s,” Wayne said.
Gabe looked up in the rear view mirror and noticed that Wayne frowning and looking upset
Wayne hadn’t expected Charlotte to return to England at all. This incident had disrupted his plans entirely.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Peace‘s house.
“You‘re looking for Anna the middle of the night? Are you kidding me?! You guys had a fight, didn‘t you?” Peace yawned and then sat down on the couch.
“What? She‘s really not here?” Wayne stood in the living room and looked around Peace‘s messy apartment. Finally, he looked skeptically at the bedroom.
“Of course she’s not here! It‘s early in the morning, Wayne. Will you let me have a good sleep? You don‘t need to work, but I do. I have to get up early in the morning. Oh, hey, what are you doing?” Peace immediately jumped up from the couch. She didn’t walk over to Wayne until she saw Wayne strutting over to the bedroom door.
Wayne opened the door as he saw a dim light in the bedroom. Just as he walked into the bedroom, the man in the bed immediately jumped up in shock.
That man pulled the covers up and wrapped them around his body. Then, he exclaimed, “Holy S**t! Wayne, why didn‘t you knock? You know this is a bedroom, right?”
Wayne looked stunned at Karl‘s frightened look and said, “Oh, Karl, hi. Did Anna come by?”
Karl covered his chest and asked, dumbfounded, “Hey! What do you think? Of course not!” Wayne nodded, closed the door and left. Peace shouted “goodbye” to him, her voice echoing in the quiet night. Peace stared at Karl and commented, “You can go now.” “Hey! How can you kick me out like that? I just helped you out!” “Cut the crap. Can‘t you see I‘m busy?” Peace then called out towards the balcony, “Anna, he‘s gone, come on in.” Karl muttered as he lifted the covers, picked up his shirt from the floor, and put it on. Anna opened the balcony door and walked in with her head down. She said, “Thanks.”
Originally, Anna planned to go straight home. But at the thought that Wayne had been staying at her house these days, she went to Peace‘s house instead.
When she arrived at Peace‘s door, she surprisingly saw Karl sitting at the door. He told her that they hadn‘t made up yet and that Peace had shut him out.
Peace frowned, and then asked Anna to sit on the bed. She said, “Hey, it‘s okay. What‘s going on? You seem scared, dear.”
“She definitely had a fight with Wayne!” Karl said immediately.
Peace rolled her eyes at him and said, “Will you ever shut up? If you say one more word, I‘ll kick you out of here.”
Karl immediately stopped talking. Peace took Anna‘s hand and said, “Don‘t listen to his bulls**t. Anna, what‘s going on? Tell me.”
Anna lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I saw Wayne hugging Charlotte.”
Hearing that, Peace froze, and then immediately sprang up from the bed. She asked in surprise, “What the hell?! Is she the president of SG England, the mean woman you mentioned before??”
Anna nodded. In fact, her mind was in a mess that she didn‘t even know what she was talking about. All she could think of was the scene in which Wayne and Charlotte hugging each other.
Peace clenched his fist and shouted, “Damn it! I knew that all men are good–for–nothing in this world! You just got rid of Ada. And here comes another woman?! I think they‘re lying when they say that Wayne doesn‘t like having women around. There are so many women flirting with him! Don‘t these women know that he‘s got a girlfriend? They are too shameless.”
“She‘s his ex–girlfriend, I suppose.” Anna interrupted Peace sorrowfully.
