Chapter 100: Chapter 100

“I have something to attend to and won’t come to the company until tomorrow afternoon,” Wayne said on the phone.

Then he hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and drove onto the highway.

It was already evening. He drove at a fast speed all the way and arrived at the hospital two hours later.

As soon as he arrived at the ward that Anna was in, he heard Anna’s scream from inside. “What are you doing? Let go of me!”

Without thinking, Wayne pushed the door open and rushed in.

On the bed, a man with gauze wrapped around his head put his arms around Anna’s waist.

After Anna struggled and broke free, he get out of bed and grabbed Anna’s arm again.

Seeing this, Wayne strode over at once, grabbed the man’s collar from behind with one hand, and grabbed the man’s wrist with the other hand. Then he had the man’s hands tied behind his back. The next moment, the man screamed in pain.

“Hey, let go of him. He’s just been rescued and woken up. Don’t do that,” Anna said anxiously. “Let go of him first.”

Wayne frowned and let go of the injured man with a snort. Then he said, “Such a rogue should have been killed in the accident.”

Haring this, the injured man shivered with fear, crawled on the bed in a hurry, and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt, only revealing his eyes.

The ward finally became quiet and Anna breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Wayne and asked in confusion, “Why are you doing here?”

“The staff of my company hit others while driving. I’m here to help deal with this matter in case someone deliberately takes advantage of it and starts a rumor to ruin the reputation of the company,” Wayne answered seriously and calmly.

Actually, it was the public relations department who should be responsible for it and he didn’t need to come here at all. But Anna, who had just worked in Carousel Group for a few months, didn’t know about it.

“The police have made a thorough investigation on this matter. Fortunately, I installed a dash cam in my car. The video showed that he suddenly went to the middle of the road while I was driving. At that time, I was operating on the navigation system and didn’t notice him. And it was late when I stepped on the brake to stop the car. I’m also partly to blame for the car accident. Sorry,”

Anna explained with a guilty look.

Hearing her apology, Wayne felt annoyed and thought, Does she think that I came here just to blame her?

“Why do you apologize?” he said with a frown. “I heard from your assistant that you hit a tramp. Is he the tramp? As he spoke, he looked at the injured man up and down, The man didn’t look like a tramp at all. He was tall and strong with fair skin and delicate features. But he looked a little stupid.

Anna looked at the man and said with a confused look, “When I saw him, he was wearing ragged clothes. And it seemed that he hasn’t taken a shower for a long time and he was smelly. The doctor said that there was a blood clot in his brain. But I’m not sure if the blood clot had been there before I hit him.”

“I think he’s not all there,” Wayne said briefly. “Does he have any family? Can you get in touch with them?”

Anna shook her head and said, “We didn’t find any contact information about his family.” “Send him to the shelter in the town after he recovers,” Wayne said.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea. After all, I hit him and caused him to be injured. I have to help him find his family. Maybe his family is looking for him. Besides, if the blood clot in his brain problem was caused by me, I should be responsible for it.”

As soon as she finished her words, Wayne’s face darkened and he said, “It’s up to you.”

Seeing that Wayne was about to leave, Anna hurried to catch up with him and asked, “It’s so late. Where are you going?”

It‘s already dark outside. Does he want to go back to Birmingham?

Wayne glanced at her and said in an unhappy tone, “I’m going back to Birmingham. I have a meeting to attend tomorrow afternoon. Do you think I have a lot of time every day?”

He came here just to confirm if Anna was all right but her attitude made him displeased.

“It’s late now.” Anna frowned and said, “It’s said that there will be a rainstorm tonight. You’d better stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning.”

In the morning, meteorological authorities issued a rainstorm alert. The rainstorm was very likely to cause a landslide and it was dangerous to drive on the mountain road from Laxis Town to Birmingham. Therefore, she suggested Wayne go back to Birmingham the next day.

“Then where will I stay tonight?” Wayne asked.

“This hospital is not far from Laxis Town. The hotel where I live is quite nice. You may get a room and stay there for a night. What do you think?”

“Okay.” Wayne said without hesitation. Then he glanced at her and said, “Let’s go. I haven’t had dinner yet.”

Anna was stunned and thought, Why is he suddenly so easygoing? Then she quickened her pace to catch up with him.

As soon as they left the hospital, thunder boomed in the sky and the rain commenced pouring violently down, The two of them headed to Maplesugar Hotel by Anna’s car and Wayne drove slowly all the way because it was hard to see the road clearly in the heavy rain. It was only several miles from the hospital to the hotel but it took them more than half an hour to arrive there.

“Here we are.” Anna closed her umbrella and led Wayne into the hotel. Then she asked the receptionist, “Is there any vacant room?”

“Sorry, all the rooms have been reserved, Miss Gabriel,” the receptionist said apologetically. “Due to the heavy rain, several tourists who intended to leave have extended their stay for one night. And I’m afraid that all the hotels in the town are fully reserved tonight.”

“What?” Anna was stunned, It‘s so awkward. I asked Wayne to stay but now he has no place to stay tonight...

“Miss Gabriel, you may share your room with your boyfriend. Your room is the largest room in our hotel. It’s large enough for the two of you to live in,” the receptionist said with a meaningful smile.

“He’s not...” “Okay.” Before Anna could clarify her relationship with Wayne, Wayne said lightly.

Anna was shocked and looked at Wayne with her eyes wide open. When she was about to say something again, Wayne left no chance for her to speak and pulled her to the second floor directly “What are you doing?” After returning to her room, Anna asked in a low voice as she pressed Wayne’s hand with which he was about to close the door. “Are you really going to share a room with me?”

“You asked me to stay here for one night,” Wayne said with a calm look.

“Yes, but I didn’t expect that there is no vacant room here. It’s not appropriate that we stay in the same room,” Anna said.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll sleep on the bed and you’ll sleep on the sofa,” Wayne said and went straight into the room regardless of her reaction.

After looking around, he sat on the bed leisurely.

Hearing his words, Anna immediately became unhappy and said, “This is my room. Why should I sleep on the sofa?”

“Then you’ll sleep on the bed and I’ll sleep on the sofa,” Wayne said.

“That’s more like it.” As soon as Anna finished her words, she realized that something was wrong.

When did I say that he can stay in my room? “No, no, no. You can’t stay here. I’ll find another place for you right now,” she said quickly.

“What are you afraid of?” Wayne said and looked at her calmly. “Are you afraid that I will do something to you? Don’t worry. I’m not that horny.”

Hearing this, Anna became angry from embarrassment and said, “Don’t think I don’t know why you want to stay here. You are up to no good at all. Do you really think that I’m not aware of what you did to me at the rainy night in the Maldives?”

Although she was seasick and had a fever that night, she was not unconscious when Wayne kissed her secretly She just pretended not to know it to avoid embarrassment. After she said that, the room fell into silence, Then after a long while, Wayne took a step toward her. With a provocative smile, he said in a low and magnetic voice, “What did I do to you that night?”
