Anna ate and drank with Tammy, feeling rather relaxed,
In the middle of the party, the director of the program took Tammy to the other side of the hall and introduced Tammy to the others.
Tammy was extrovert and talkative. At this time, she was talking with others with a bright smile on her beautiful and childish face.
Anna kept watching Tammy quietly in a distance with a smile. Somehow, the more she looked at Tammy, the more she found that Tammy looked like Wayne.
Such a thought made her panic and she immediately took a sip of water to calm herself down.
“Anna.” Suddenly, Wayne called her with his deep voice.
Anna stiffened when hearing the familiar voice and her heart jolted. Subconsciously, she held her glass tightly.
Wayne, in a straight black suit, walked to her side and also looked at Tammy in the distance.
With one hand holding a glass of wine and the other hand in his trouser pocket, he asked, “Why did you come back from the Maldives in advance?”
“I have something to deal with at home,” Anna said, feeling a little nervous. Since she knew the truth, she had always felt a sense of repulsion when thinking about Wayne as if her nature of self–protection made her want to stay away from him.
“You came back in advance because of moving house or me?” Wayne asked. Anna frowned, not knowing what he meant.
Wayne took a sip of wine and asked calmly, “Or is it because of me that you have to move?”
Anna‘s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
What does he mean? Has he known everything? she thought nervously.
“I‘ve heard that you are living at Peace‘s place temporarily and have been busy finding a new place to live recently. Is that true?”
Anna breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “Yes. I can‘t live at your place all the time.”
“Do you need my help?” Wayne asked.
Hearing this, Anna was surprised. She had thought that he would ask her to move back to his house. Then she shook her head and said, “No, thanks. I can handle it myself.”
How do I dare to ask him for help? If he knows that I want to get the house back to fight against him for the custody of the children, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.
Anna refused Wayne so decisively that the repulsion in her tone attracted Wayne’s attention.
Wayne turned his head to look at her with burning eyes and asked, “Is something bothering you?”
Anna looked at him with both confusion and surprise in her eyes, almost thinking that she had misheard
Wayne frowned and regretted asking her the question
For a moment, the atmosphere between them suddenly became awkward and they fell into silence.
After a while, Scott waved his hand to Anna and walked toward her with a bright smile. He was in beige slacks and a light blue T–shirt.
When he came over, he handed a glass of juice to Anna and said, “Anna, they are going to the karaoke bar later. Will you go with them?”
“Karaoke? No,” Anna shook her head immediately and said, “Tammy is with me. It‘s not appropriate to take her there.”
Wayne’s serious expression softened when he heard her answer.
After taking a glance at Wayne, Scott blinked his eyes at Anna and said with a nod, “I think so too. I‘ll drive you home after the party.”
“Okay,” Anna said smilingly.
Seeing her smile at Scott, Wayne clenched his glass tightly and his face gradually darkened.
The next morning, after Anna sent Tammy to kindergarten, she went to work.
This day was the first day that she had worked as a regular employee at Carousel Hotel. While changing her employee ID card, she had mixed feelings.
Previously, she had been working hard, wishing to become a regular employee here. Now her wish finally came true but she was not happy.
Thinking of what might happen between Wayne and her in the future, she thought that she shouldn‘t continue to work at Carousel Hotel and should find a new job as soon as possible.
Since she began to work in the hotel, everything went well with her work and she seldom met Wayne during working hours. But she still felt awkward thinking about working at the same company with him.
At noon, John came to her office.
“Miss Gabriel, today is the first day you work as a regular employee in our hotel. The hotel will hold a party in the evening to celebrate for you. I‘m here to confirm if you are free tonight.”
When Anna was hesitating about it, her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller ID), she answered the phone immediately.
“Hi, this is Anna.”
“What?” Anna‘s face turned pale in an instant. “I‘ll be right there!” The next moment, she rushed out anxiously with her handbag.
“Miss Gabriel, what happened?” John asked. Before he finished his words, Anna had been out of sight.
After leaving the hotel, Anna went to Blue Castle Kindergarten in a hurry
The school was about to be over. There were many luxury cars as well as butlers and maids at the gate of the kindergarten.
When Anna forged through the crowd, she saw Eleanor who had been waiting for her at the gate for a long time.
Eleanor then quickly took her into the kindergarten. “How is Tammy now?” Anna asked anxiously
“She‘s better now. Fortunately, Tammy received timely treatment and didn‘t suffer from shock. But she was not in a good condition before, so I called you,” Eleanor said,
Then the two of them rushed to the infirmary all the way.
