Chapter 116: Chapter 116

The body temperature of the two of them rose as they kissed. Wayne’s kiss fell on Anna’s lips, her chin, her neck, and her breasts. Immersed in the kiss, Anna felt weak all over when Wayne’s hot palm touched her tender skin, and her mind went blank.

Suddenly, a quick knock on the door broke the passionate atmosphere.

Then John’s voice came from outside the door, “Miss Gabriel, Wendy has woken up and is in the lounge now. What should we do now? Also, the police have come.”

Startled, Anna pushed Wayne away immediately and sat up in fluster.

“Miss Gabriel, are you there?” John asked with suspicion as he continued to knock on the door.

Anna took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “I’m here. I didn’t hear you just now. Well, I have something to do now.

I’ll be there in five minutes.”

“What’s the matter with you? Do you need any help?” John asked.

Upon hearing this, Anna hurriedly said, “No, thanks. ... I’m changing my clothes. My clothes got dirty just now. You may go to the lounge first.”

“OK.”

After John left, Anna breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw Wayne squinting at her with a meaningful smile.

“You are so good at telling lies,” he said. Anna blushed and glared at him, saying, “It’s all because of you that I had to lie.”

“In fact, your lie is not brilliant,” Wayne said with his arms folded and gazed at her. “So many people saw me carrying you in my arms and come here. Do you think your assistant doesn’t know I am here?”

When Anna heard this, her face changed and she couldn’t utter a word for a long time. Oh, God. It‘s so embarrassing.

“Since you know others will misunderstand us, why did you still do such a thing?” Anna gritted her teeth and said, “You did it on purpose, right?”

“Yes, I did it on purpose,” Wayne replied to her frankly. “It’s just a tit for tat.” “Tit for tat? Did I do anything to offend you before?”

Anna frowned and asked.

Wayne looked deeply into her eyes and said, “Have you forgotten that you cooked up the story that I have an affair with you in front of others when we were in Laxis Town?”

Anna suddenly remembered that and blushed to her ears.

After a long while, she changed the topic and said, “So, you have been holding grudges against me because of that matter? No wonder you deliberately directed against me today and treated me like that in front of others.”

“I deliberately directed against you because of that matter?” Wayne asked in a deep voice and looked at her in confusion because of fear.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it,” Anna said as patted Wendy’s hand gently to pacify her.

Then she stood up and walked out, saying to the others, “Let’s go out first, everyone. Wendy needs to have a rest now.”

As soon as she closed the door of the lounge, she heard a sharp voice heavy with sarcasm. “What do you mean? If every criminal can be pardoned by committing suicide and gaining sympathy, then there will be no criminals in the world.”

With a frown, Anna turned around and saw Sherry in front of her.

At this moment, Sherry was staring at her with her arms folded and her face full of disdain. She looked petite and lovely in a pair of casual retro-style dark green shorts and a loose black T-shirt.

Famous for her innocent and pretty appearance, she had been very popular recently. However, she was not as kind and friendly as she looked. Instead, she was bad-tempered and willful. During her stay in the hotel, she often came into conflict with the leading actress Ada because of her scenes in the TV play.

“Miss Hill, please rest assured. We won’t cover for the one who stole your necklace. But since we haven’t found out the truth yet, it’s not appropriate for you to make such a casual conclusion. There’s no evidence to prove that Wendy stole your necklace,”

Anna said.

“Do you mean I’ve falsely wronged her? From last night till this morning, she’s the only one who has ever entered my room. The surveillance video doesn’t lie. She’s the thief.” Sherry frowned and said unhappily. “You are obviously covering up for her. You even risked your life to save her just now. Is she your relative?”

Hearing this, Anna was speechless. After containing her anger, she said with a smile, “This matter...”

“This matter is very simple and there’s no need to investigate it at all,” Sherry interrupted her directly and said while raising her chin arrogantly. “It’s not a big deal that I lost a necklace, but I hate those who steal things most. I have only one requirement, that is she must be fired. As long as you fire her, I will let the matter drop. If you don’t agree, you will also be blamed. After all, she i your subordinate. If I pursue the matter, you will also be fired and driven out of here.”

Hearing this, Anna clenched her fists.

“You are the one who should be driven out of here, Miss Hill.” A cold male voice was suddenly sounded in the corridor at this time, and everyone turned their head to see who was
