âI think you misunderstood me, Anna. I know you saw that news, but thatâs not what it looks like.â Wayne looked calm and took the initiative to bring up the news that people had been talking about since last night.
Anna looked at him. She did her best to maintain a calm look even though she was furious toward him.
She said, âSince then, you should let me know what the truth really is. Donât tell me you just ran into each other at the airport and then coincidentally met the paparazzi.â
Wayne frowned gently and said, âAda made the appointment with that doctor, and Iâve told you that. When I took Matthew to Germany, it just so happened that she was shooting a commercial there. So, we ran into each other. Gabe is now dealing with the news. Soon, the Wayne explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Anna almost believed in his words. If Peace hadnât told her what Karl had said last night, she would have still thought she was overthinking and acting petty and blaming herself for not trusting him.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, âThatâs it?â âWhat? You donât believe me?â Wayne frowned.
He thought he had explained it clearly enough. He had never explained something that had never happened to anyone for so long in the last thirty years.
Anna glanced at him, then at her watch, and said, âOf course I believe you. Have you finished? You should go now. Please donât take up any more of my personal time. You know, I have to work in five minutes.â
Looking at her cold expression, Wayne was somewhat puzzled. After seeing that she was acting very determined, he said directly, âAnna, I donât like to play mind games with women.â
âI donât like it either.â Anna replied immediately. They looked at each other, and neither of them said another word. After standing still for a long time, Wayne left the office and slammed the door. As she watched Wayne go, Anna gripped her desk tightly.
She knew that Wayne had done all this to make her see him flirting with another woman and get angry. Therefore, she decided to play along with him.
Wayne got into his car after leaving the hotel He realized that he had never felt so depressed Gabe had no idea what was going on with them.
âMr. Wright, Iâve made a restaurant reservation for you and Miss Gabriel at 6:30 tonight.â He said Wayne said coldly and sullenly, âCancel it.â Gabe didnât dare to speak again. When he looked in the rearview mirror, he saw that Wayne +50 Points 136 He Feels Being Wronged looked as if he was pissed off.
âOkay, I get it. By the way, is Ms. Gabriel working late tonight?â He asked.
Just as he finished speaking, he could feel that Wayne immediately gave him an angry scared. It was until then that he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
What made him feel relief was that Wayneâs phone then rang. Seeing it was Karl calling, Wayne looked at his phone and answered. âHello?â Karl said cautiously, âHi, Wayne. Did Anna know about the news?â âYeah.â Wayne said sullenly. âDid you guys have a fight?â Karl asked with all his guts. âNo.â
Karl could hear that he was lying. After a few seconds of silence, he said, âHey, Wayne, Iâm going to France for a vacation tomorrow and I wonât be back for a while. If anything wrong happens at the hotel, you can call my assistant.
Karl used to vacation abroad to avoid the mess whenever he annoyed a woman he shouldnât, and Wayne certainly knew this.
So, he didnât ask anything about it.
âOh, so, when are you coming back?â Karl said, âWell, it depends. Oh, thereâs something I need to tell you.â âWhat is it?â
âActually, Peace saw that news last night. She went to my place with Tammy, and then I accidentally told them what I said to you the other day. You know, about the truth about this fake news. I didnât expect you to make the news all over the internet on one night.â
Wayne asked in disbelief, âWhat?! What are you talking about? How...â âSorry. I know you donât want to see me, so I went abroad for a while. Iâm sorry, bro.â Karl hung up the phone immediately without waiting for Wayne to finish his questions.
Wayne looked at the screen and thought about what Karl had just said. Suddenly, he seemed to have it all figured out. Then, he frowned and called Karl again.
However, Karl had already turned off his phone. Wayne hung up and texted Karl, âYouâd better never come back.â He had fully understood what Karl had just meant by those words.
Wayne thought that no wonder Anna acted indifferently no matter what he said, as if she already knew what he was going to say He felt that he was really being misunderstood. âGabe, donât cancel the reservation. Please go back to the hotel.â Wayne said.
âOkayâ Gabe felt surprised when he saw Wayne looking a little remorseful in the rearview mirror.
Wayne went straight to Annaâs office when he returned to the hotel. However, she wasnât there He then ran into Annaâs assistant, John, at the door.
After seeing Wayne, John asked nervously, âHello, Mr. Wright. May I ask why you are back?â
All the people working at the hotel talked about Wayne and Annaâs conversation in the cafeteria. People were speculating about what happened afterward, and some even said that the whole floor heard Wayne slam the door and said he would break up with Anna.
John wondered why Wayne had come back.
âWhereâs Miss Gabriel?â Wayne saw the work card on Johnâs shirt before remembering that he was Annaâs assistant.
John came back to his senses and immediately replied, âOh, she is on leave this afternoon; she just left ten minutes ago.â
âAh? She had left?â
Wayne frowned and began to regret that he had spoken to Anna that way. He was afraid that Anna wouldnât want to work here because she was too angry.
John looked at Wayneâs expression, and then carefully said, âScott Grosz is having his first concert Today, and Miss Gabriel said sheâs going to be there tonight.â
Wayne froze and asked, âSheâs going there by herself?â
John shook his head and said, âNo, I saw Ryan waiting for her at the door, so I think theyâre going together. Also, it seems that sheâs bringing her daughter with her.â
Hearing Ryanâs name, Wayne immediately became huffy. He found it strange, not understanding why Wayne was always around Anna.
