Chapter 299: Chapter 301

When Leon heard Anna’s question, he froze.

“Oh... You’re right,” he said after blinking.

Anna could hear his teeth chatter as he trembled.

Feeling a headache again, Anna said, “Today has been bitterly cold. Let’s skip dinner tonight, and I’ll take you to your hotel.

Where are you staying?”

Leon followed Anna to the car without saying anything.

The hotel where Leon was staying wasn’t far away.

‘A few minutes later, Anna dropped him off in front of the hotel, saying, “You should keep my coat. Or the wind will make you catch a cold.”

Since her company asked Leon to be the spokesperson for her company, Anna felt that she should take care of Leon when necessary.

She was worried he’d catch a cold because of the shooting. What worried her more was that she was afraid that some of his frantic fans would launch a “cyber attack” on her company for it.

Wrapping in Anna’s coat, Leon said happily, “Great! Thanks! I’ll give it back to you after | wash it.”

“All right, you can return it to me the next time you visit this city.” Anna smiled and waved him off.

She sighed with relief as she shut the car door and asked the driver, “Please take me home.”

‘Anna was aware that many famous celebrities were picky. So, meeting all of their demands was thus a difficult task.

As the car drove into the street where she lived, Anna noticed a man dressed in a black coat standing in front of the building. She immediately became overjoyed.

‘As soon as the car stopped, she ran toward Wayne and hugged him. She raised her head and asked, “Wayne, how did you know I’ll come back now?”

Wayne frowned when he noticed she wasn’t even wearing a coat.

“Oh, | called Mona, and she told me about it,” he said gently as he wrapped her in his coat.

“Huh? You have spies watching me around? What else did Mona tell you?”

Wayne looked displeased and replied, “She said you were supposed to return home half an hour ago. However, I’ve been here waiting for you for over forty minutes. Mona appears to be a less-than-professional spy.”

Anna burst out laughing and exclaimed, “Mona isn’t always with me. She’s busy tonight because she’s taking the staff out to dinner. Don’t bother her with my schedule, honey. You are welcome to ask me, and I’ll keep you updated on everything.”

Wayne wrapped his arm around her and led her toward the building when she continued to shiver and freeze.

“Oh, | get it. You’re too busy,” he said.

Anna nodded and said, “But you used to be much busier than | am now. I’m busy now, but I’m home every day. Well, you used to travel for months before.”

Wayne pressed the elevator button after entering the building. While they were waiting for the elevator, Wayne removed his coat and draped it over her, asking, “Where’s your coat?”

Anna sighed and explained, “Geez! I’m still mad about that!” “why?”

“Do you know about the pretty boys and the cool boys?” Anna asked, blinking.

Wayne blinked in confusion, clearly unsure about what she was talking about.

“Oh, it’s a trendy look right now. Girls are currently attracted to both types of boys who are younger than them. The cool boys are the more dominant boys, while the pretty boys are the gentler boys.”

Wayne didn’t appear to be interested in this at all.

“So, Anna, what does this have to do with you not wearing a coat?” he continued.

“My coat was taken by a pretty boy.”

Anna shrugged her shoulders and tucked her neck inside the coat. Because Wayne’s coat was wide and had pads on the shoulders, Anna looked very funny in it, like a child wearing an adult’s clothes.

She looked carefully at Wayne’s expression. Out of her expectations, Wayne wasn’t as envious as she thought he would be.

“What exactly are you talking about?” he asked after a brief silence.

Anna felt helpless and lost interest in joking with him. She said, “Do you understand what I’m talking about? The boy I’m talking about is named Leon, the new face of our company. You know, my employees adore him very much! Allin all, he took my coat.”

Hearing that, Wayne froze.

At that point, the elevator had just arrived on the first floor.

Anna walked into it immediately.

Wayne followed her into the elevator, frowned, and asked, “Huh? Is the Leon you mentioned a guy?”

As she looked at his expression, Anna teased him, “Yes, it is obviously a guy’s name. In fact, | like Leon very much.”

Wayne became sullen and asked, “Huh? What did you say?”

“Oh! | said that | like Leon! I’m not particularly interested in other celebrities, but I’m a huge fan of Leon.”

When Anna looked into the elevator mirror, she noticed that Wayne was visibly upset.

“But you never told me that you liked him before,” he pointed out.

“That’s because | like him deep down in my heart. That’s all that matters,” Anna restrained herself from laughing aloud.

She thought. Gee... Wayne, you should take a good look at yourself right now. How could you look so serious yet funny at the same time? I’m just joking with you! How is it possible that like a not-so-smart guy like Leon?

At that precise moment, the elevator arrived at her floor.

Wayne grabbed her wrist and pulled her back just as the doors were about to open. Anna let out a surprised gasp.

As she came back to her senses, Wayne had already pressed her against the wall of the elevator.

Looking down at her, Wayne asked seriously, “So, you just met Leon, did you?”

Anna struggled for a moment but was unable to break free. She snorted and asked, “What are you doing, Wayne? Hold on... Are you jealous of Leon?”

Wayne became more somber and asked, “Why are you still laughing?

Do you think I’m joking with you? Answer my question!”

Anna stopped struggling and simply leaned against the elevator wall, looking at him teasingly.

Then she said, “Yes, | met Leon tonight. He invited me to dinner downtown near the square. | took my coat off and gave it to him because he wasn’t wearing one.”

Wayne’s anger flared like fire when he realized that Anna was still wearing his coat. He tightened his grip on Anna’s wrist and seemed about to yell at her.

“You’re hurting me,” Anna said with a frown.

She immediately felt cold after saying that. Then she realized Wayne had taken away the coat. And he didn’t want her to keep wearing it.

Anna shivered from the cold and reached for his arm, asking, “What are you doing? I’m cold!”

“Didn’t you give Leon your coat? You are welcome to wear his.”

Of course, Wayne knew Anna wouldn’t cheat on him with another man. However, the fact that she gave her coat to the young model irritated Wayne. And yes, he was jealous because of it.

Anna wanted to burst out laughing when she saw Wayne’s unhappy and irritated expression. She would have liked to tease him a little longer if it hadn’t been so cold, just to see when he’d get mad at her.

Not wanting to tease him any further, Anna winked and explained, “The Leon I’m talking about is Leonardo Dicaprio, one of my favorite movies, not this model. Wayne, you’re overthinking it.”

Wayne froze and then turned to face Anna. He finally realized he was being fooled by her when he noticed the teasing expression on her face.

After that, he quickly grabbed her arm and pinned her against the wall again “I’m sorry, | shouldn’t have done that. Please don’t tickle me!” Anna begged.

Wayne knew which part of Anna’s body he was supposed to tickle. Anna’s face flushed with laughter as she begged him to stop.

Wayne froze as he watched Anna blush and gasp. Then he began to pant as well.
