“Yes, tell Ada I won‘t get married to her.”
After hanging up the phone, Wayne opened the window and the sea wind blew in. After the storm all night, the air was especially fresh.
Why didn‘t she even ask me about my thought? Did she take me as a two–timer? he thought when recalling Anna‘s behavior last night.
After going back to her room in anger, Anna lay on her stomach on the bed for a long time without moving.
What on earth does Wayne want to do? Does he think I‘m a frivolous woman so he always takes advantage of me? He‘s gone too far, she thought, overwhelmed with shame and rage.
At noon, Scott returned the hotel safely with Tammy.
Tammy was still young and didn‘t know that she was in danger yesterday. After returning to her room, she excitedly told Anna about the thrilling scene that she saw yesterday.
“Mommy, the wind was so strong in the place where Scott and I stayed. I felt that the house was almost blown away. And fish fell from the sky when it rained. It‘s so magical.”
With a lingering fear, Anna held Tammy‘s hand tightly and said, “Sorry, Tammy. I should have gone with you.”
“Fortunately, you didn‘t go with us. I was so worried that I couldn‘t protect Tammy well. If anything happened to her, I would be guilty,” Scott said as his face turned pale with fear when he thought about his experience on the island. “If you were there, I would have to worry about the two of you. In that critical situation, I might not be able to take good care of you two.”
Fortunately, Scott and Tammy came back safely, Anna thought.
Later, Tammy said that she was hungry. Anna then immediately packed up and went to the restaurant downstairs with her to have lunch, regardless of the cameramen following them.
Just after they ordered the food, Tammy suddenly saw two familiar figures entering the restaurant and walking toward them.
Her eyes brightened at once and she exclaimed, “Uncle Wayne! Matthew!” When Anna heard that, her smile froze. She raised her head and saw Wayne and Matthew.
“Mommy, Uncle Wayne and Matthew are also here!” Tammy said excitedly, grabbing and waving Anna‘s arm at Wayne and Matthew. “I’m here, Uncle Wayne.”
Seeing Wayne, Scott frowned and muttered unhappily, “What is he doing here? It‘s so annoying!”
As soon as Matthew heard Tammy call him, his eyes lit up with joy. He loosened his grip on Wayne‘s hand and rushed over, smiling at Tammy.
Then like a chatterbox, Tammy began to tell Matthew what had happened in the past two days, including what had happened on the plane, the beach, and the island,
Wayne pulled out the chair next to Anna naturally and deliberately asked, “Do you mind if I sit here?”
Anna forced a smile and said she didn‘t mind it. But the look in her eyes showed that she wished he could get out of here at once.
Wayne turned a blind eye to the reluctance on her face and nodded at her with a smile. Seeing this, Anna was annoyed and speechless, roasting him in her heart.
At the same time, Scott, who looked at the interaction between the two of them, felt very upset.
Anna had always regarded him as her young brother for so many years. Although he always said that he wanted to marry Anna, she seemed to just take his words as jokes and had never thought about being together with him. Now that he had a rival in love who was a cunning old fox, the chance of them being together became slimmer.
Scott then thought about his contract. It was not until several days ago that he learned that Wayne was a big shareholder of Enlight Media. Then he realized that Wayne deliberately played a trick to let him sign with Enlight Media.
Thinking about this, he stared at Wayne and gritted his teeth with hostility.
He couldn‘t help but say with sarcasm, “Mr. Wright, are you here to expand your business in person? As the CEO of the Carousel Group, don‘t you have subordinates to help you?”
Wayne glanced at him and said, “Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider expanding my business here in the future. But I‘m here with my son just for a
“You have many choices. Why do you have to choose the Maldives? What a coincidence that you came to the same place with us!” Scott said with displeasure.
Wayne said calmly and bluntly, “Matthew and I have always thought that this is a good place, so we came here.”
Scott clenched his fists and asked with an annoyed look, “A good place? What‘s good about it?”
“There are so many people here and it‘s lively.” Wayne said tonelessly
“You…” Scott was speechless.
“Let‘s have lunch,” Anna suddenly broke in on their conversation and said, looking uneasy and embarrassed. “The food will not taste good if they turn cold.”
Wayne raised his eyebrows and took a sip of water leisurely. On the contrary, Scott looked displeased and his face was darkened. “You‘ll get married soon, right? Why don‘t you bring your fiancee with you?” he asked.
Anna was stunned for a second and then tensed Pretending to be calm, she didn‘t raise her head to look at Wayne but she pricked up her ears,
Wayne put down the glass and said calmly, “I‘ve never announced that I‘m going to get married. As for the so–called fiancee, where did you hear of that??”
The next moment, Anna subconsciously raised her head to look at him in surprise.
Seeing his serious expression, she knew that he was not joking. Then she thought with mixed feelings, Does he mean that he doesn‘t intend to marry Ada at all?
“Everyone in our circle knows that Do you still want to deny it?” Scott asked. His question was also the one that Anna wanted to ask.
“What everyone knows may not be true. Everyone also knows that you are in a relationship with the actress called Rita,” Wayne said slowly as he cut the steak without looking at Scott Then he said meaningfully, “Oh, I see. You are dating her, right? It seems that you don‘t need the company to clarify the relationship for you.”
“You…” Scott was speechless and his face turned red with anger. Then he said with his tone full of grievance, “Don‘t threaten me with your company. I wouldn’t have signed with your company if you hadn‘t shamelessly schemed against me.”
Speaking of this, Anna couldn‘t help saying, “Scott, Enlight Media is a big company. I have read your contract carefully before. As long as you don‘t breach the contract, the company is a good platform for you to promote your career. What Mr. Wright did is for your own good. Why do you say such words to him?”
“Anna, he wants to control me and threaten me! Why do you still speak for him?” Scott said
“Threatening you?” Anna was confused and asked, “For what?”
“He wants to threaten me to…” Scott wanted to say something but suddenly bit the words back. Then he gritted his teeth and continued, “Nothing. Anyway, when I earn enough money, I‘ll pay liquidated damages and quit this damn company.”
While speaking, Scott glared at Wayne, regardless that Wayne was for his boss. However, Wayne didn‘t get angry at all, still looking calm and leisurely as before.
He put the plate with the cut steak in front of Matthew as if he didn‘t hear Scott‘s words, and also refilled Anna‘s glass with water.
According to the weather forecast, there would be heavy rain in the afternoon.
