Her assistant was also perplexed and whispered, “Anna is the second daughter of the Gabriel Group‘s president, according to what I‘ve heard. But her family doesn‘t seem to like her. So, he has spent the last few years living alone in America. Isn‘t the Gabriel Group doomed to fail? Why do so many people care about her? Why did Wayne Wrights at Carousel help her?”
The editor–in–chief grumbled, “Wayne isn‘t even ‘helping‘ her! I was afraid he‘d beat me up if he came into my office! Anyway, how does she know anyone at the tax office? She knows Mr. Miller, an official who has just been transferred to London to take up his position.”
This was also a mystery to the assistant. And he cautiously asked, “Well, do we have to withdraw the news then?”
The editor–in–chief sneered and said, “Huh? Yes, we must withdraw it. We‘ll take it down after everyone has finished talking about it tonight. That way, we‘ve not only satisfied the bigwigs but also informed many people about it. Will you look into this woman for me? I‘m curious as to why she has so many big wigs care about her.”
“Yes, I‘ll have them look into that,” said the assistant, who was also intrigued.
Thunder Entertainment was known for not being afraid of authority. When they were blamed for something that went wrong, they would simply promise not to do it again. They did, however, often go went on their word. The employees were all confident that the group‘s leaders would protect them no matter what.
The Lemon team spent the whole night dealing with this situation.
Then few people discussed the issue after sharing the clarification article on social media. Finally, everyone gradually lost interest in the topic after the most crucial time: twelve o‘clock.
The staff were ready to go home at that point. Anna and Andrew were walking downstairs together when they noticed Ryan waiting for her at the door.
After seeing Ryan, Andrew nodded and said to Anna, “Bye, Anna.” “Okay, goodbye. Thank you very much.”
“That‘s all right. You should be cautious these days and always go out only with a companion. Cyber violence can be brutal, you know.” Andrew was concerned about Anna because he had been through something similar.
As Anna nodded, she said, “Don‘t worry.” After returning home, Anna and Ryan discovered the light in the house was on. The house, on the other hand, was eerily silent. Wayne walked out of the children‘s room just as Anna was about to open the door.
“Are they both asleep?” Anna asked him immediately.
Wayne nodded his head and said, “Yeah. Are you finished dealing with the matter already?”
“What? You‘ve already known about it?” Anna asked curiously.
Then she put her handbag on the floor and walked to the fridge to get herself a drink. She figured that there must have been a lot of discussion about it if someone like Wayne, who seldom never surfed on the Internet, knew it.
“He‘ll know for sure! I heard that there had been another employee protesting at the headquarters of the Gabriel Group. The Carousel‘s building is direct across the street, so Wayne must have known about it.” Ryan answered for Wayne and then sat down on the couch.
Wayne didn‘t say anything. He only glanced at Ryan before following Anna to the kitchen.
Anna gave each of them a cup of lemonade. Then, the three of them took their seats on the sofa.
“How‘s your investigation going?” Wayne asked, looking at Ryan. Ryan frowned and inquired, “Huh? What? How did you know I was looking into it?” Of course, Ryan knew why Wayne was asking him that. He was a smart guy, after all.
Ryan gave him a thoughtful look before asking, “Well, wise guy, if you thought of that, why didn‘t you warn Anna?”
“Oh, I knew they‘d write news about it, but I couldn‘t predict what else they‘d do. So, we might as well get it over with now. Luckily, Lemon is just getting started now. If it had been a large corporation, it would have been much more affected by the rumors.”
“You mean we can just stop caring about anything, right?”
“Ryan, come on. Instead of wasting time with me playing word games, why don‘t you tell us exactly what you‘ve discovered?” Wayne stated.
He did have the foresight to immediately change the subject to the point.
Ryan was irritated by his demeanor, but he knew it was not the time to argue with him.
As a result, he responded, “Actually, I was already standing outside the conference room door when Anna texted me. I bugged the bathroom and recorded Oscar‘s phone call. Although I could only record his voice, I was able to piece together what he was saying on the phone based on the signal wave. Relax, it was very accurate. I have the file on my computer and will email it to you later.”
“All right, tell me what he said.” Anna was not going to listen to that tape. She didn‘t want to hear every word Oscar said because she was desperate to find the truth. Besides, she was certain that Ryan was an expert on this matter.
“Fine. In my opinion, Oscar is certainly a spy hired by White. Besides, he was the one who informed White ahead of time about Andrew‘s design. He‘s probably wanted to leave Lemon for a long time, but there are two possibilities as to why he chose to stay in Lemon.”
“What are they?” Anna asked anxiously.
Ryan coughed and was about to say something to demonstrate his professional reasoning abilities when he heard Wayne say, “First, he can stay at Lemon and keep updating your public relations strategy to White. Second, White will not keep their promise to him in the first place.”
Ryan shot Wayne an annoyed look and said, “Hey, that‘s what I‘m supposed to say! Will you please shut up?”
“Which do you believe is more probable?” Anna turned away from Ryan and asked Wayne directly.
Wayne continued calmly, “I believe it is the second. If White wants him back right now, Oscar won‘t take the risk of staying at Lemon. You‘ll definitely fire him if you find out he‘s a traitor. That way, he‘ll have a difficult time finding another job.”
Ryan continued right after that, “In fact, there is another option. Perhaps White let him stay in Lemon because they could continue using him. That way, Oscar can keep revealing your information to White. Besides, they‘re unlikely to hire him as he‘s a traitor. There‘s a chance he‘ll turn against his boss again wherever he works.”
“Yeah, you‘re right,” Anna said with approval. “Then what are you going to do with him?” Wayne asked.
“Oh, I‘m going to let him keep working in my company for the time being Since I‘ve already known that he‘s the traitor and he intends to stay here, I can make good use of this opportunity. Plus, I hope you two can stick with my plans.” Anna said, looking to be planning something big.
After his shower, Ryan went to his room and came to a halt as he approached the bedroom door.
He looked at Wayne, who was still sitting in the living room, and asked, frowning, “Are you coming in tonight?”
Wayne didn‘t say anything, just looking back at him.
Ryan raised his chin and frowned, saying, “You‘re not coming in, right? Okay. I‘ll lock the door. And you‘d better not knock on my door.”
He then shut the door and locked it.
Wayne did nothing but sip the lemonade in his hand with ease. After he finished it, he headed for Anna‘s bedroom.
Since stepping into Anna‘s house, he hadn‘t intended to sleep in the same room with Ryan.
Anna had already finished her shower when Wayne was about to enter her room.
She was sitting at the dressing table, wrapping her hair in a white towel and applying face cream. She looked at the doorway as she heard someone approaching.
And her gaze became teasing at that point.
