Karl had walked up to them while they were talking. He was as tall and attractive as a model, and the white couture suit he was wearing made him look like a gentleman.
âWhat are you doing here?â As everyone expected, he talked to Peace first. Peace immediately responded, âWhat? Why canât I come here?â Karl rubbed his nose and smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
âThatâs not what I meant. Itâs that someone just told me last night that sheâd never see me again, but she showed up right in front of me today.â He said.
âSorry, I meant what I said last night.â Peace nonchalantly rolled her eyes at him. Suddenly, she waved to someone behind him and said gently, âIâm here, darling.â
A young man was walking toward them, and he was one of the visiting foreign guests. He was very muscular and looked like he worked out a lot. He was obviously more athletic and more imposing than Karl.
Just as he walked over, Peace took his arm very affectionately and said, âEveryone, this is my boyfriend, Spencer.â
After greeting Spencer, Anna felt awkward and immediately left with Wayne.
Both Peace and Carl were the types of people who didnât want to give in, and neither wanted to admit that they were weak.
They would target each other whenever they met, and Anna had already gotten used to it.
Anna felt that Peace had gone a little too far because she realized that Karlâs expression had changed As soon as Anna and Wayne left, Karl immediately showed his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, âWe just broke up last night, how could you find a new boyfriend so quick?â
Peace glanced at him nonchalantly and said, âI donât see whatâs wrong with that. I got a new boyfriend after we broke up, but you were with someone else while we were still dating.â
âAs I said, sheâs my friendâs sister.â âOh, it seems your friend has a lot of sisters.â
Anna took Wayneâs arm and drank some wine with the guests. She flushed as she drank a few and leaned on Wayne softly.
The stereo played soft music that made people want to dance. After a while, a man warmly invited Anna to dance with him.
Anna immediately agreed and went to the dance floor with that man.
She wore a burgundy halter dress and looked like a blooming rose as her dress fluttered while she was dancing She looked very charming under the changing lights and attracted the attention of many men Karl walked up to Wayne and touched the glass with his wine glass. The crisp clicking sound was drowned out by the music, Looking at the beautiful woman on the dance floor, Karl teased Wayne, âThere are so many men looking at her. Arenât you jealous?â
Wayne was calm. He took a sip of wine and replied, âTheyâre the ones who should be jealous. They can only look at such a beautiful woman, but she belongs to me.â
âItâs good that you think that way, because I used to be like that. But when I got a little older, 1 couldnât be so tolerant anymore.â
Karl said with a shrug.
Wayne looked at him and corrected, âYou didnât used to be tolerant, you actually had no problem with that.â
Karl dated many girls and even went out with different girls every day. Sometimes, he even forgot the names of the girls he had dated. So, rather than calling them his girlfriends, they were his s*x partners.
Wayne looked away thoughtfully and said, âYou mean you do care about it now, am I right? You obviously care about her, but you pretend it doesnât matter. If you keep doing it, sheâll be someone elseâs girlfriend later.â
Karl frowned and asked, âWhat do you mean?â âLook over there.â
Wayne pointed to the dance floor, and Karl saw two people standing very intimately there.
Peace was holding her new boyfriend in one hand and feeding him fruit with a fork.
Seeing this, Karl immediately became annoyed. He knew she had brought this man there to make him jealous, but he didnât expect them to be intimate.
He finished all the wine in his glass in one gulp. Then, after he placed the glass heavily on the table, he strode away After Anna finished the dance, another man invited her.
Anna shook her head and politely declined, saying she was a little dizzy from the wine. She then walked through the crowd to Wayneâs side.
âI thought Karl was just here, where did he go?â Anna asked as she took a sip of water from the glass Wayne handed her.
âhe just leftâ Wayne replied. She nodded, sighed again, and asked, âWhen are they going to make up?â âBefore the partyâs over, I guess.â Wayne said casually. âHuh? Why?â Anna asked, looking up in surprise, Wayne glanced toward the distance, so Anna looked toward the opposite corner of the dance floor They saw Karl pulling Peace out of her new boyfriendâs arms. He then pulled her into the Dearest lounge and closed the door behind him, which was intriguing.
âOh What is happening?â Anna asked, wide-eyed Wayne took her by the shoulders and said succinctly. âThis is how a prodigal son becomes well-behaved The party didnât end until ten oâclock All the people stayed at the hotel except for Peace and Kart, so Anna didnât have to do anything After telling the cleaning stall to clean up the scene, she went straight to her room Anna spent the rest of the week with the guests. Wayne was there at first, but he disappeared by the third day in the morning.
âOh, Mr. Wright has to take care of something. He said youâre going to be with the guests the whole time.â Gabe replied when Anna asked.
Gabe didnât dare look Anna in the eye, as if he was hiding something from her. âWhat has he been doing?â She asked. Gabe coughed and said, âThatâs his personal business, I canât ask him.â
Anna frowned. She knew that Wayne had always put work first. He would not deal with personal things in such a critical situation unless he had something significant to do.
Wayne did not return until the early hours of the morning.
Anna had already fallen asleep at that time and woke up at the sound of him opening the door.
She sat up drowsily and asked in a dumb voice, âWhat time is it? Where did you go?â Wayne came over and gave her a hug. He said, âItâs still early. Go back to sleep, honey.â
Anna wrapped her arms around his waist and rubbed her face against his chest like a docile cat.
âGo to sleep.â Wayne looked at her very dotingly and stroked her back.
Hearing the water coming from the bathroom, Anna closed her eyes again. Then, the text message alert ring woke her up.
Dazed, she picked up the phone on her bed and glanced at it.
âPlease show up at the airport on time tomorrow. Iâll be there waiting for you.â
She frowned. She thought someone had sent the wrong text message at first, but when she saw the name at the top, she realized that she had picked up the wrong phone.
That message was from Ada.
