“Well, I’m going to several places. I‘m planning to leave early to get things done sooner.” “Let‘s meet up and talk. I‘m in the cafeteria; what do you want to eat?” “The usual, thanks.”
Anna packed a sandwich and a cup of coffee for him. She hadn‘t even reached the elevator when she saw a man approaching her and standing in front of her.
She frowned, gripped the bag, and said, “Good morning, Mr. Wright. You come to work early today.”
Wayne breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Ah, I came to see you.” “Oh, all right. But, I‘m going to bring Ryan breakfast and talk to him about something.”
After realizing how indifferent she was, Wayne asked irritably. “Where were you last night?”
He‘d been looking for her all night. When he heard the staff say they saw her in the cafeteria in the morning, he immediately rushed over. He didn‘t know why she was talking to him like that.
“I have something personal to deal with, sorry.” Anna walked past him and pressed the button of the elevator.
“What is it?” Wayne asked.
“Oh, it‘s just something personal. Wayne, everyone has their own privacy, and you should respect that. You can‘t expect me to tell you all my secrets.”
Wayne stared at her and asked, annoyed, “What do you mean? If you‘re not doing something shady, then you can tell me.”
Wayne felt angry. He had been looking for her all night, and was glad to finally found her in the morning. However, she said she had to bring breakfast to another man, which was unacceptable to Wayne. Also, she was also very cold to him.
Just when both of them became hostile to each other, there came the sound of the elevator arriving.
Anna turned her back to Wayne and said, “What about you? You didn’t say anything to me about you and Charlotte either, did you?“
“I see, so that‘s why you‘re angry. Tell me, what did Charlotte say to you?” Wayne looked at her with a complicated expression.
When he couldn‘t find Anna last night, he thought that maybe she knew something about what happened between Charlotte and him. After all, he had only learned a few days ago that the president of SG England was Charlotte. At that point, Charlotte had been staying in the hotel for several days.
Anna smiled mockingly and replied, “Oh, don‘t you worry. She didn‘t say anything to me. Plus, I don‘t think she even wanted to talk to me. After all, you‘ve known each other since you were kids. She‘s your real fiancée, and the love of your life. She can prove everything just by standing next to you. You‘re a cute couple and a match made in heaven, am I right?”
Wayne interrupted her and said unhappily, “Anna, do you know what you‘re talking about? Stop saying that.”
“No, I don‘t” Anna turned her face to the side, deliberately not looking at him.
“Stop it. If you want to know what really happened between us, then let‘s go to your office and I‘ll tell you all about it. You know, I don‘t like it when women are unreasonable. And, I don‘t think you’re a unreasonable woman.”
Anna clenched her fists hard after hearing his words. She thought about it all night and eventually tried to pretend that she didn‘t care. But, when she saw Wayne, she knew she couldn‘t pretend anymore.
She had completely lost her mind and turned into an irrational jealous woman. But even though she knew she acted like that, it didn‘t mean that Wayne could say that to her face. So, Anna was heartbroken.
She quickly got into the elevator and said, “Oh, forget it. I‘m not in the mood for that. Let‘s talk about this later.”
Well, I need to be alone and have a little time to think about it anyway. Anna thought.
Ryan had already packed up his luggage. When he saw Anna, he began to tell her about his overall plan. However, Anna had been distracted and didn‘t seem to be listening to him at all.
“You look a little haggard. What‘s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Ryan asked, frowning at her with concern.
Anna snapped back and tried to change the subject, saying, “Oh, I‘m fine. When will your plane take off? I’ll drop you off at the airport.”
“You don‘t need to do that, Anna. The plane leaves at three in the afternoon. You‘re supposed to be at work then, so you might not make it.”
Anna smiled and said, “Oh, I can do that. I‘ll just take a short leave.”
After leaving Ryan‘s room, Anna went straight back to her office. As she walked down the hallway, she encountered many employees who came to work.
When they saw her, they all said hello to her. However, Anna always felt that there was something strange about the way they looked at her.
Only when she opened the door to her office did she understand why. She realized that instead of leaving, Wayne was sitting in her office.
“Oh, hi. What are you doing here?” Anna froze as she touched the doorknob.
“Anna, I need to talk to you about what happened last night. You can leave the door open if you want everyone outside to hear our conversation.”
Anna froze and then immediately glanced behind her. The offices on this floor were all extremely quiet, and people passing by seemed to be trying to eavesdrop them.
She frowned, closed the door and asked, “What do you want to tell me?”
“About Charlotte. I swear I didn‘t know that she was the president of SG Group until yesterday” Wayne said directly..
Anna stopped frowning, but still remain silent.
Wayne then said, “You‘re mad at me for not telling you about what happened between Charlotte and me, aren‘t you? Well, I‘ll tell you everything now, since it‘s not a secret. Charlotte and I are just close friends. My father was very fond of her when he was alive, so he got us engaged. Then, my father passed away, and she married someone else. So, our engagement was called off.”
His side of the story was not far from what Karl had said, but Anna still felt upset.
“I don‘t like to be misunderstood. So, I think I have to explain this to you before I leave.” Anna immediately looked up and asked, “What? Where are you going?”
“Ah, to London. I‘m going to deal with a real estate project, and I may be gone for a while.” Wayne said, and his low voice echoed in the office.
Anna was still jealous. But just as she heard he was leaving, she was immediately shocked. The whole sudden separation from him thing overwhelmed her.
“Well, do you want to ask me about anything else?” Wayne asked.
Anna looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head.
I already knew what was going on. But, I still minded their relationship. I didn’t know if Wayne would ever get back to her, but I couldn‘t control that. Besides, I couldn‘t get it out of my mind right away. Anna thought to herself.
