Chapter 131: Chapter 131

It had already past midnight when Wayne came out of the shower. The hazy moonlight shone nto the room and looked like fog.

As the bathroom lights were turned off, the moonlight made the room even colder.

Anna felt Wayne hug her from behind. The heat from his body surrounded her and made her eel hot and uncomfortable, like she was being choked.

She felt annoyed and couldn’t help but struggle. “Sorry, did I wake you up?” Wayne whispered tentatively.

She didn’t say anything more but just nodded. A few seconds later, she said, “Yes. Why are you back so late?”

“I took care of a few things.” “Did you finish it?” “Well, not yet.”

Anna kept thinking about that message from Ada. After being silent for a moment, she asked, “How long does it take? Will you still be able to attend the send-off party next weekend?”

Hans and his team were going to stay in Birmingham for half a month, and the hotel was holding them a farewell dinner at the end of next week. It was a significant event, and as the boss, Wayne had to attend.

“I will. Don’t worry.” He replied. Anna frowned and kept herself from asking more questions.

Just as she was getting upset, she heard Wayne say, “I knew a dcotor in Germany and he maybe knows how to cure Matthew.

But, the problem is, it’s hard to get an appointment with him.

So, I’m taking Matthew to Germany tomorrow, and I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

Anna froze, realizing that she was overthinking and had misunderstood Wayne. “Are you taking him there by yourself?”

“Yes, but don’t worry, it won’t take long. It’s just that you’ll have to take care of the team all by yourself.”

“That’s OK. I hope Matthew can be cured.”

Wayne was silent for a moment. He then held her in his arms, put his face against her cheek and whispered, “I feel so happy for Matthew. He is so lucky to have a mother as good as you.”

When Anna heard these words, she had mixed feelings. However, she did not know how to express her emotions. So, all she could do was turn over and hug him tightly around the waist as if that was the only way she could suppress the urge to tell him the truth.

Wayne left very early the following day, and his housekeeper and Matthew had been waiting for him at the airport He kissed Anna on the forehead, took his coat, and quietly left the room.

The following week. Anna accompanied the foreign group as the hotel representative. She showed them around all the famous attractions of Birmingham and took them to eat local food.

Jennifer told Anna that she loved the delicious food there.

After a few days, she already treated Anna as a very good friend, and she even invited Anna to visit her country.

On the night before the farewell party, when everyone returned to the hotel, Jennifer hugged Anna and said, “Thank you so much for being with us, Anna. I’m going to give you a gift at the dinner tomorrow.”

Anna smiled and replied, “Thank you, I’m looking forward to it.”

“You’re going to love it. By the way, let’s have your very interesting young friend join us at the dinner, shall we?”

“Are you referring to Ryan?” Anna asked, frozen in surprise.

Jennifer had met Ryan by chance one day while hiking in the suburbs, and she seemed to like him. She said Ryan was the same age as her son, and they both enjoyed hiking. They talked for a long time, and Jennifer even invited him to join the team for dinner.

At that time, Hans came over. He winked mischievously at them and said, “Yes, he’s a very interesting young man, and I’m looking forward to seeing him again. By the way, isn’t Mr. Wright back yet? Will he still be at the dinner tomorrow?”

Anna smiled and said, “Yes, I will talk to him about it. Don’t worry, he will definitely be back in time. He told me that he will apologize to you all, because he feels a little sorry that he left.”

“That’s OK. But, I have something important to say to him.” Hans looked thoughtful. Anna felt her heart beat heavily and thought she knew what he would say.

After all the guests had gone back to their rooms, Anna asked Gabe, “Are you sure Mr Wright will be back tomorrow?” .?.

“Yes, he’s already on the plane.” “That’s good, I think Hans may want to talk to him about doing business.”

Anna was feeling worried. They hosted the guests not only for the government but also hoped to do business with them. Of course, Wayne was aware of this, so he had been accompanying the team for the first few days. Later, he left because he had to take Matthew to the doctor.

Anna thought that Hans had given her a hint which meant that he wanted to do business with them. So, as long as Wayne could finally make it back, there was a good chance that they would collaborate, The farewell dinner was held the following afternoon as scheduled.

Because the guests were to catch a flight in the early morning of the next day, they had to leave immediately after dinner.

Therefore, the dinner schedule was brought forward to 3:00 pm Therefore, Anna had been busy since the morning.

Seeing that Wayne didn’t come back, Anna called Gabe and asked, “Hasn’t Mr. Wright gotten off the plane yet? I can’t get through to him. Did you pick him up? You said he’d be here in the morning.”

“Ms Gabriel, I have already picked up Mr. Wright. Don’t you worry.”

Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at her watch and muttered, “Then why didn’t he answer my call?”

“I can’t talk to you now, Ms Gabriel, I’m driving. I’ll be at the hotel in a minute.” Gabe’s voice sounded a little nervous.

“OK, bye.” Hanging up the phone, Anna looked at the phone screen and had an ominous feeling.

As Gabe was driving, he couldn’t help but glance in the rearview mirror. He asked cautiously, “Mr. Wright, do you want to go home first or go straight to the hotel?”

“Drop me off at the hotel. Then, please take them back home separately.” “Got it.” Gabe nodded and replied, not daring to ask more questions.

At that time, all the guests were having dinner in the hotel ballroom. It was almost half-past six, and the party was about to end.

Hans and Jennifer walked over to Anna with their glasses of wine and said, “Miss Gabriel, it looks like Mr. Wright won’t be able to make it back this time. What a shame.”

Anna glanced at her watch and said, “Mr. Hans, Mr. Wright is already on his way. His plane was late, but he should be here soon.”

“Is that so? We have to leave at 7:30, so hopefully we’ll see him before that.” Hans smiled and didn’t mind if Wayne made it in time.

Anna glanced at the phone in her hand and found a message from Wayne: “I’m almost at the hotel.”

“Mr. Wright said he’s almost there. I’m going to check the door. He should be here already.” She said happily With that, she walked toward the door of the ballroom.
