Richard gave her a brief glance before smiling. His smile, however, made Anna uneasy.
He said, “Isn’t your driver occupied with something else? You’re not comfortable being alone with me, | see. No, you’re overthinking. I’ll have my driver pick you up. I still need to go to the bar with my buddies.”
Richard was correct: Anna’s driver did take time off. Anna didn’t dare to refuse it because there were so many businessmen around. She couldn’t tell everyone about her and Richard’s feud, or she’d lose a large group of potential customers.
Anna weighed the pros and cons and eventually agreed
Then Richard smiled and said to others, “Guys, can we send Miss Gabriel to the door now? We only have one lady here, and we need to make sure she gets home safely.”
Hearing that, a few managers from Gabriel’s group who were there with Anna nodded. Mona was the only one who was anxious about that and kept winking at Anna.
Mona knew they were bitter enemies, so she didn’t trust Richard and had no idea where his driver would drop Anna off. And she even suspected that Richard was up to no good.
Following that, everyone joined Richard in walking Anna to the hotel’s entrance.
His driver had already parked the car there at the time.
Richard pretended to be a gentleman and opened the car door for Anna. He said in a weird tone, “Lady first.”
“No, it’s better for you to get in first,” Anna said after seeing the person sitting in the car.
“Are you going backwards? You know, a businessman should never break his word. An
“Huh? | believe you are the one who went back on your word!” The woman in the car said in a shrill tone, interrupting Richard’s words.
Ada, who was standing behind Anna, became pale immediately.
The woman, wearing classic Christian Louboutin high heels, stepped out of the car.
She smacked the Hermes bag into Richard’s face and yelled, “Screw you! Richard, you’re so shameless! I’ve already told you that you’re not allowed to see your mistress again! How dare you bring her to this party! Did you take me seriously or not?!”
Richard was extremely embarrassed. He then exclaimed, “Stop it! What are you doing here?”
The woman pointed at Ada, who was standing next to Anna, and then angrily snapped, “Shut the fuck up! | just want to know why the hell she’s here!
“Adal I’m going to ruin your face! I’ve known for a long time that you’ve been flirting with my husband! You know what, I’m going to strip you naked today!”
Ada struggled and yelled, “Are you insane? Let go of me! Richard and | are just friends! “
“Shut up! Who the f**k believes that? “
The two women then began to fight.
At the same time, the drunken crowd gathered around them as if they were watching a show, and some even laughed.
Richard was embarrassed and felt he had never been so humiliated in his life
He said to the driver, “Hey, stop watching! Get my wife out of here!”
As Anna was standing in the crowd and watching them fighting, a man suddenly grabbed her wrist.
And the man had pulled her out of the crowd before she could scream.
Anna took two steps after the man before realizing he was Wayne.
She immediately became overjoyed and said, “Ah! Oh, Wayne. Hil”
She stopped, smiled, and asked, “Gee, when did you get here? You nearly scared the hell out of me!”
Wayne smiled at Anna before approaching her and asking, “How much have you drunk tonight?”
Anna’s eyes appeared to be filled with stars when she smiled.
She explained, “Not much, | only drank half a glass of wine. You know, Mona drank the rest for me. She’s really good at drinking. “
Wayne removed his grey cashmere scarf and wrapped it around her neck, and then smiled and said, “Okay, let’s give her a pay raise, shall we?”
When he was finished, he tucked Anna’s hand into his pocket. They then walked down the street together.
He asked, “We should go back on foot. The cold wind can help you sober up.”
Anna walked faster to catch up with him.
Then she smiled and echoed, “Okay. But | don’t have to sober up at all. What brought you here? Did you tell Richard’s wife to come here?”
“How did you know?”
“I didn’t even know Ada was coming. And Richard certainly didn’t tell anyone about it. | think that you only found out about it because I told you on the phone.”
Wayne did not deny it but instead smiled wickedly.
He didn’t like meddling in other people’s affairs, no matter how many mistresses Richard had. He knew, however, that Richard would not let Anna return home safely tonight.
The Carousel Group had recently been looking for trouble with the Gabriel Group, and he reasoned that it would be better to take the initiative to strike first.
“Oh, | forgot to ask what you and Peter were talking about. Tell me, will you?” Anna changed the subject.
“Just the usual. Well, he was pressuring me to return to work at the group.”
“Oh? Really? So, how about Richard?”
“Richard will be fired as soon as | return to the group, according to my grandfather. Furthermore, he will never get to work for the group anymore.”
“I see, What do you think of it?”
When Anna noticed Wayne’s calm and collected demeanor, she knew he’d refused his grandfather yet again.
Wayne replied as she had expected, “I didn’t say yes to him. Since | want him to leave the group, | have to make him leave for good.”
Wayne said and then squeezed Anna’s hand in his pocket.
Everyone was surprised when seeing Anna standing in the middle of the crowd. However, when they heard her words, they all became very terrified.
Just then, one employee sat back down at his desk and said, “I’ll finish the second half of the plan before the end of the day! And I’ll be able to finish next year’s as well!”
Everyone began working hard after thinking about the expensive villa Anna had given Andrew.
Mona looked around in awe, realizing what people would do for money.
Meanwhile, Anna and Andrew just stood there, staring at each other a bit awkwardly.
Instead of being panicked like she was last night, Anna appeared calm and determined. She said, “Do you have a moment? Do you want to try some new jasmine tea | just got?”
“Yes, thank you,” Andrew said with a smile.
As they walked into her office, they smelled the refreshing aroma of the tea.
On her desk was a porcelain kettle filled with freshly brewed jasmine tea.
She handed Andrew a teacup and said, “I’m sorry, Andrew. Hope you don’t mind what I’ve said to you last night. | shouldn’t have said that about you.”
