Chapter 303: Chapter 305

Anna angrily dropped the fork and looked at Wayne, saying, “Damn! What a bunch of idiots! Do they think I’m a sugar mommy who would pay hot guys to date me? | gave Leon $50,000 last night, and it hurt like hell When | transferred that large amount of money to him.”

Wayne furrowed his brow, and then asked, “What? Did you give him $50,000?”

Meanwhile, he thought, Anna, that’s large sum of money. Why the hell would you give him so much money?

Anna then also realized that what she said would be misleading.

She elaborated, “Oh, no! That was not the case! Leon had given mea bunch of clothes as gifts the day before, so | gave him the money back.”

“Oh, he even bought you clothes?” Wayne asked, frowning more.

Sensing that things were going south, Anna took a deep breath, grabbed her jacket, and prepared to walk out the door.

She said, “I’ve only met Leon twice. And I have absolutely nothing to d with him.”’

Hearing that, Wayne calmly handed her an iced coffee and said, “Hey, don’t go yet. You have enough time to finish your breakfast. I’ll go to the office with you later.”

“Yes, and I think it’s quite amusing.” Wayne chuckled.

Anna drank the entire cup of coffee and exclaimed, “Thank you very much. Let’s go to work now, Wayne. I’m not sure how the rumor will affect our company’s stock market. If that happens, the board of directors will blame me again.”

On their way to work, Anna checked Twitter to see what was going on.

It all started when a user posted a photo of Leon shopping at the mall with the caption, “Guess what, Leonfans! | ran into Leon at the mall, and he appeared to be shopping for his girlfriend! He bought all of the new fall and winter clothing in the store! Wow!”

Then everyone began discussing the tweet. Someone then posted a picture in the comments of Leon’s two assistants walking into Anna’s office to drop off their shopping bags.

That person said, “I know! His girlfriend is now the boss of my company! Well, as far as I know, my boss already has a boyfriend.

So I think my boss might be his sugary mommy.”

People were immediately excited to discuss this topic. Many media outlets then published articles claiming that Leon was dating rich women.

The Gabriel Group was recently the subject of heated debate due to workers jumping from the building. And Everyone remembered the incident and immediately thought of Anna.

They discussed, “Isn’t she the chairman of the Gabriel Group?”

“| knew pretty boys are frivolous!” 305 | Want to Invite You to Dinner caf “Stop arguing! | can totally understand that. If had money, I’d also be looking for young, attractive boyfriends.”

Anna read through all those posts and discovered that no one was scolding her except a few frantic fans of Leon. Plus, almost everyone was cursing Leon.

Also, Anna discovered that the incident was not as serious as she had assumed. The group’s stock market fluctuated slightly but was within the normal range.

Putting down her phone, Anna then said to Mona, “Let’s get the PR department to come up with a solution as soon as possible, OK? We should deal with the matter as soon as possible. Call Leon’s agent, by the way. We need to cooperate with them to soothe things out.”

“OK, I’ll call them now,” Mona said, nodding.

However, she returned immediately after leaving the office.

“Anna, | don’t think we have to deal with this anymore,” she said.

“What? Why?”

“Leon’s company has issued a clarification statement.”

Anna logged into Twitter and discovered that Leon’s account had shared a bank transfer note with the time circled. It was before anyone talked about the incident.

He stated, “Right now, I’d like to claim that the recent rumors about me are false. | only recently arrived in Birmingham from Melbourne, and | didn’t bring any winter clothes with me. Out of sympathy, Miss Anna Gabriel lent me her coat. | was so grateful to her that | went out and bought her some clothes. But she still returned the money back to me. Please believe me that Anna and | are both decent people. | hope you will not 305 | Want to Invite You to Dinner a bring this up again, thanks.”

Leon’s company also immediately tweeted that he would sue those who had defamed him. And People stopped talking about it after these two statements were made.

After reading the posts, Anna returned Mona’s phone to her and said, “Our public relations staff should learn from Leon’s PR! I’m astounded by how quickly they handle things! Our staff is probably still sleeping right now.”

Mona sighed with relief and said, “Thank goodness, it’s over! | was really scared right now. | really regretted taking you to the studio on that day. I should not have let you get involved in it, Anna.”

Anna waved her hand and said, “It’s OK. Don’t blame yourself for it, Mona. It seems that they did not do this to hurt me. Well, maybe his competitors did this.”

“Oh, so do we still have to call his company to talk about it? “

Anna flipped through the papers on her desk before saying, “There is no need to do that now. Now that the commercial is finished and everything is settled, just let it go.”

Anna said this for another reason: she thought that she’d better stay away from Leon for fear that he would do something else ridiculous.

By the afternoon, everyone had stopped talking about the rumor anymore.

After they resolved the issue, Anna called Wayne and said, “Let’s go out to have dinner tonight! I’m craving sushi.”

Wayne chuckled and said, “Really? But I’m not done looking through the books yet. | believe there is an issue with a few of these dividends. If you don’t mind, I’ll just let it go. I’ll see you downstairs now.” 305 | Want to Invite You to Dinner af Anna sighed and said, “Oh, no, you’d better work now. You should hurry up and finish the work before your grandfather comes after you again. I’l grab something random to eat, so don’t worry. Wayne, what would you like to have for dinner?”

“No, thanks. You don’t have to buy dinner for me. I’ll be home late.”

Then Anna hung up the phone and launched the take-out app, intending to order Japanese food.

She had just reached for her phone when she noticed she was being called.

Looking at the phone number, Anna paused for a few seconds before picking up and saying, “Hello.”

“Hello, Anna, this is Leon.”

“Oh, hi. What can | do for you?”

“I wanted to express my regret for what happened this morning. I’m sorry, and | know I made a mistake. | shouldn’t have gotten you into this mess. I have no idea they would spread such outrageous rumors.”

“Oh, you don’t need to apologize. Actually, it’s alright.”

“Then let me treat you to dinner, OK? I’m already in the lobby of your company right now. “
