At that time, Wayne had just stepped out of the restroom. The chilly wind from the balcony made him sneeze and feel cold Then Henry called him, trying to persuade him to reconcile with Pete. So, they talked for a while.
Wayne respected Henry so much that he didnât say anything to retort Nonetheless, he never returned home.
A girl stepped in front of Wayne as he was about to leave.
The girl was dressed in a pale yellow dress and wore her hair in a bun with a silver crown hairpin. Wayne didnât like how she was dressed and thought she was childish.
He noticed her because she and Anna both wore the same hairpin. On the other hand, Wayne realized Annaâs outfit was far more classic than this girlâs.
He asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
The girl gazed at Wayne. She appeared upset when she realized he didnât recognize her.
âDid you forget about me, Mr. Wright?â she inquired.
âWho are you? Am I supposed to remember who you are?â
âOh, Iâm Rachel! Iâm Allieâs cousin!â
Wayne gave the girl a calm look. He remembered her, but he had a negative impression of her.
He remembered Rachel yelling at Anna when he arrived at Gabrielâs group to take the job.
He frowned and repeated his previous question, âWhatâs wrong?â Rachelâs face turned bright red as Wayne was indifferent toward her. However, she felt she couldnât lose her cool, so she said as calmly as possible, âWell, Iâd like to speak with you about Anna. | believe you should be very interested in this.â
Wayne said, âI donât think I should waste my time on you.â
Rachel immediately shouted at him and said, âWait! | want to tell you What men Anna has slept with, Do you believe she would voluntarily tell you something like this? Donât let her fool you, Mr. Wright.â
Wayne froze, then glared at Rachel grimly and asked, âWhat are you talking about?â
ââ¢Lillian just told me that Anna had group s*x with a bunch of guys on her 18th birthday. Gee, what a slut! She should be despised, but not cherished. Donât be a fool! Arenât you concerned that people will gossip about you?â
Wayne looked even more gloomy. He quickly grabbed Rachelâs arm and dragged her into the adjacent lounge.
Rachel struggled in terror, then stepped on her dressâs ribbon and collapsed on the sofa.
âWhat are you trying to do?â she yelled.
Wayne stood perfectly still, his hands propped on the sides of the couch.
âHey, what do you want to do?â she mumbled Wayne sneered and said contemptuously, âIf you say that again, Iâll make people despise you.â
Rachelâs heart even paused when she heard his words. She was just shy at first, and then she became terrified. She felt a chill running down her spine and realized for the first time that what everyone said about Wayne being ruthless was true.
Rachel had been spoiled by her family since she was a child, so she Was extremely obstinate. She was terrified, but she was determined to keep her self-esteem intact.
She stated, âIâm telling you the truth! You can go ask someone else if you donât believe me.â
Wayne still glared at her and then said grimly, as if possessed by a demon, âDo you want to be mute for the rest of your life? |
hate women Who like to spread rumors the most.â
While they were talking, Anna was looking for a lounge on the second floor. She went straight to a room in the distance with the words âVIP Loungeâ written on the door.
Someone opened the door to the room as soon as she took two steps.
Rachel then bolted from the room with her hands covering her chest. Her hair was a mess, and her expression was terrified.
Anna didnât get along with Rachel, so she didnât want to talk to her. However, because Rachel was an employee of her company, she felt she should be responsible for the girl.
Anna asked, âHey, whatâs wrong? You seem...â
Rachel ran away before Anna could finish her sentence.
When Anna looked up, she noticed Wayne trying to leave the lounge. His flat suit had a few visible creases that reminded her of Rachelâs messy hair.
âWhat are you doing here?â she asked, her heart skipping a beat.
âOh, | just came out of the bathroom to take a break.â
Anna pointed to Rachelâs back, then asked suspiciously, âSo, how about Rachel? Are you guys resting in the lounge together?â
Wayne explained calmly, âThis lounge is open to the public, so anyone is welcome to use it. Donât misunderstand me.â
Anna exhaled deeply and stated, âOkay, | didnât misunderstand you. | know you well enough to know you wonât be sitting in here alone with her. Isnât there some reason for this? Can you tell me what you were talking about?â
Wayne was never alone with a woman, Anna knew, to keep rumors about him at bay. As a result, he never had any scandals.
However, Anna felt there was no way Wayne would change his habits for Rachel.
When Anna saw Rachel running out of the lounge, she didnât pay attention because she assumed they had just walked in. When Anna noticed Wayneâs attitude, she tried to persuade him to clear the air.
Wayne continued calmly, â| have nothing to explain. Nothing happened.â
Anna was suddenly disappointed in Wayne and said, âDid you notice how messy she looked? You two didnât do anything just now? Iâm sure | wasnât the only one who noticed her. You donât want to explain anything to. me, do you? Arenât you worried about what people might say something about you two?â
âI donât care what other people think.â
Anna was absolutely devastated. Lillian had just humiliated her in public, which made her want to disappear from the world.
However, she didnât anticipate Wayne humiliating her as well.
Anna said, âCould you please put yourself in my shoes, Wayne? You canât take it when | look at another man. A beautiful girl just ran out of this room, and she looked like a mess. Meanwhile, you walked out of the room as well. Are you sure you donât want to explain it to me?â Wayne remained silent. He didnât want to explain to her because he didnât want to say the horrible things Rachel had just said to him. He remained silent because he did not want to lie to Anna either.
Anna clutched her dress tightly, then said thoughtfully, âYou donât want to explain yourself, do you? Well, thereâs nothing else |
have to say to you.â
