Anna pretended to cough violently and shook her head at Wayne, motioning to him not to sit beside her.
She was like a young girl who stayed out all night and had a guilty conscience after being found out by her elders.
Turning a blind eye to her hint, Wayne walked straight to her and sat down beside her. “Grandpa, let’s have lunch together.”
Old Mr. Wright nodded slightly and asked Anna to enjoy the lunch, but he didn’t eat anything.
Anna felt extremely uneasy and the delicious food was tasteless to her. All she wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.
“I know what happened last night,” Old Mr. Wright suddenly said.
“Well, I’m leaving now,” Old Mr. Wright suddenly said as he stood up and looked at Anna with a smile.
“Anna, you’re welcome to go to my place at any time. And don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything for the wedding. Feel free to tell me if you need anything.”
Anna couldn’t say a word and could only watch Old Mr. Wright leave. After Old Mr. Wright left, Wayne and Anna looked at each other. “I’ll drive you home later,” Wayne said. Anna wanted to refuse. But on second thought, she didn’t do that.
She wanted to make their relationship clear to Wayne and it was better to talk with him alone in the car than in the house where the maids and the butler were around.
Soon, the car was driven out of Kingsford Neighborhood. And the atmosphere in the car was a little dull.
Lowering her head, Anna played with her phone and browsed news on Facebook. But in fact, she was absent-minded.
“Should we turn right at the next intersection?” Wayne asked her naturally. Anna was stunned for a few seconds and nodded. “Yes.” After Wayne turned right, the traffic light turned red so he stopped the car.
There were still sixty seconds left before the light turned green and Wayne tapped the steering wheel with his slender finger from time to time.
Suddenly, he asked, “I have something to ask you about last night.”
He still remembered the feeling when he touched Anna’s skin and had s*x with her. This feeling was so familiar. Therefore, the whole morning, he couldn’t help wondering if she was the girl who had s*x with him six years ago.
“Last night…”
Anna’s body suddenly tensed up. She clenched her fingers and interrupted him, “Just forget about what happened last night.”
Wayne stopped tapping the steering wheel.
Anna sniffed and pretended to be casual, “We’re drunk and what happened last night was just an accident. Don’t take it too seriously. We’re both adults. I know you’re going to marry Ada so …. I won’t ask you to be responsible for that or pester you. I’m not that sort.”
Hearing this, Wayne tightened his grip on the steering wheel and the leather cover around the steering wheel was sunken. He remained a calm look but the next moment he said coldly. “Get out of the car.”
“What?” Anna was stunned.
“Didn’t you say that I don’t need to be responsible for it? In case others misunderstand our relationship, you should get out of the car now.”
There was imperceptible anger in his cold voice.
Anna then got out of the car at the intersection.
Holding her bag, she stood still and watched Wayne drive away. Then the pretended expression of “I don’t care” on her face disappeared.
She sat down on the edge of the flower bed, depressed. How come things become like this?
“What? She stayed at Kingsford Neighborhood last night?” In the dressing room backstage, Ada shouted and turned to stare at the assistant behind her in disbelief.
The make-up artist was frightened by Ada’s sudden move and her hand shook. As a result, a long red lipstick mark appeared on Ada’s face.
The make-up artist immediately apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Ada grabbed the makeup brush from her hand and threw it onto the ground rudely. “What are you doing? Do you want to be fired?” she said angrily. Seeing this, her agent Jason pacified her and motioned to the make-up artist to go out.
With an aggrieved look, the make-up artist gritted her teeth and walked out of the dressing room speechlessly
“Ada, the program is about to begin. Calm down and finish your makeup as soon as possible,” Jason said with a smile.
Ada stared at him angrily and said, “Didn’t you hear what Millie just said? Anna stayed overnight at Kingsford Neighborhood. Wayne took her back home not long after I left! Don’t you know what it meant?”
Speaking of this, Jason was confused, “Didn’t you go to Kingsford Neighborhood to see Mr. Wright yesterday? Why did you leave before he went back home?”
“Humph! I wish I could tear that damn woman apart!” Ada said sharply as she banged the dressing table with a darkened face when thinking about Peace.
“The woman that I met in Wayne’s house yesterday was so arrogant. She knew who I was, but she still talked to me impolitely. She even said that Wayne didn’t want to marry me. If I met her again, I would tear her mouth apart first.”
Jason didn’t know who she was talking about and couldn’t understand a single word that she said. Besides, he was not in the mood to talk about these trifles with her.
He looked at the time and urged Ada, “Alright. Alright. You can do whatever you want when you met her. Now sit down and finish your makeup first. It’s time for the show. Yesterday, you suddenly left and the director was very angry. Don’t make him angry again. I’m tired of apologizing to him.”
Anna clenched her fists and didn’t say anything. She knew that it was meaningless to lose her temper and her top priority at this moment was to finish her job
Anna is just a single mother but she can actually win Wayne‘s heart. I can tell that she is by no means as simple as I thought. I have to find a way to deal with her. My intuition is right. I indeed should be wary of her.
At the headquarters of Carousel Group, Wayne came back to his office after the morning conference.
After reporting on the preparation of the centennial celebration, Gabe said, “The decoration of the venue will be started next Monday. Miss Gabriel proposed to decorate the venue in the daytime. But it will inevitably lead to a decline in the turnover of the Carousel Hotel in the following days and the hotel will be understaffed. In this case, there will be many complaints from guests. How about we ask Miss Gabriel to reschedule the decoration and make it on nights?”
“No need,” Wayne said and clasped his hands together. “If we decorate the venue at night, the guests will be disturbed and there will be more complaints. Miss Gabriel’s decision is right. The decoration will be carried out section by section so it won’t have a big influence on the turnover of the hotel. Just let her take charge of everything. You only need to report on the progress every day.”
“Yes, sir.” Only then did Gabe understand why Anna decided to decorate the venue in the daytime and he admired her thoughtfulness.
“By the way, I have something to ask you,” Wayne said. “How can I help you, sir?” Wayne asked thoughtfully, “Where is the surrogate mother six years ago?”
“Surrogate mother?” Gabe was a little stunned. He didn’t know why Wayne would suddenly mention the past.
He hesitated for a moment and answered respectfully, “She’s in Austria. I heard that she still couldn’t save her father back then and her father died not long after she got the money. The former butler Leo then sent her to Austria for further study. Three years ago, she completed a master’s degree. And later she married a foreigner.”
“Why are you so clear about it?” Wayne asked.
“After all, that girl is Matthew’s biological mother. I thought you might ask about her so I kept an eye on her condition,” Gabe answered.
Actually, Wayne didn’t ask him to do this. But since he had been working for Wayne for seven years, he was always so considerate.
At this moment, Gabe was a little nervous because he didn’t know if what he had done had violated Wayne’s privacy.
