Nancy continued to shake with rage and told Anna what Joshua had said to her.
Anna didnât understand what she was saying, but she got the gist of it. Joshua told his mother he was pleased with Nancy and even wanted to marry her.She thought, What the heck?! / mean, it was Wayne that | went on a blind date with. So, how the hell could Joshua tell that Nancy is the one for him?! They werenât even there for the blind date! This is... Wait!
Hold on. Could it be that Wayne bought over Joshua so that he could see me and talk to me in this way? Damn it! This is so full of his style. Of course Wayne would do something like that! Urgh! And now, how am I supposed to answer Nancy? | canât just tell her that, âSorry, actually, it wasnât Joshua who went on a blind date with me; it was Wayne.â It will sure stir up the mess even more!
Nancy wanted Anna to scare the hell out of Joshua. That way, Joshua wouldnât want to marry her, and she could shut her mother up. And Nancy growled, âI didnât expect you to make him want to marry you after you met him!â
Anna had no choice but to lie through her teeth, âI swear Iâve described myself as a very strange person. But, he still thinks Iâm a good woman. To be honest, I believe this man is the most gentlemanly and well-mannered individual Iâve ever met. There wasnât much else | could do about it.â
Nancy was surprised and said, âThat is not possible! A man would never accept a woman like that!â
âHowever, he di 405 Why Did You Do It?
Nancy examined Anna from head to toe, then asked, âWhat were you wearing on that day? Did you look good?â
Anna said firmly, âI wasnât wearing any makeup at all, and I didnât even wash my hair.â
Nancy was sceptical of Annaâs words, but she lacked evidence. She could only be disappointed and regretful that she wasnât there. After a brief pause, Nancy said, âI donât care! Youâre the one who went on the blind date, and he likes you. So you must resolve this for me.â
âHow am going to make it right for you? Do you want me to marry him for you?â
Nancy gave her a stern look and said, âNo! | will never ever agree to marry him, even if he saya he will. Youâre the one who got me into this. mess in the first place, so you should go for me if he still wants to date me after that. Youâll never hear the end of it if you donât!â
âThen, Iâm going to tell your mother about you asking me to go on that date for you!â
Nancyâs eyes widened in shock. Anna took advantage of the opportunity to open the door and flee, saying, âI must go to work now! Youâd better tell your mother about this!â
Actually, going on that date wasnât a big deal for Nancy. However, her mother kept telling her to go on a blind date, which irritated her. That was Why she had such a childish idea.
On her way, Anna thoughtin relief, Thank god// have gotten hold of one of Nancyâs secrets, which will save me from being framed. Well, âd better avoid seeing Nancy recently. Otherwise, she might get me into another trouble. And! donât want it at all During a brief meeting that day, the head doctor told everyone in the laboratory department, âTomorrow, the hospital will conduct physical 405 Why Did You Do It? examinations at several businesses and schools. Is anyone interested in going?â
Anna quickly raised her hand and exclaimed, âMe!â She was desperate to get out of the hospital so she wouldnât have to deal with Nancy.
The doctor named another five people and said, âThe arrangement will be assigned before the end of the day. All you have to do is gather in front of the hospital and go with your team.â
âWill the chiefs of the various departments be there?â Anna asked cautiously.
âNo, because theyâre all too preoccupied with their surgeries. Except for those from our department, the people who will go there are mostly nurses and interns.â
Anna sighed with relief, knowing that Nancy wouldnât be there.
Meanwhile, Rachel Turner rushed into the Carousel Group meeting room. The secretary at the door who was standing there stopped her and said, âI apologize. Mr. Wright is in a meeting, and you are not permitted to goinâ
âWhy canât I? Youâre new here, arenât you? Do you know that Iâm on the board of directors? Why canât I go to a board meeting?â
âIâve been working for the company for four years since the two groups merged. I hope you wonât make things difficult for me.â
Rachel lifted her head and said condescendingly. âWhatâs wrong with you? Youâre just a secretary, you have no right to stop me.
Do you know who I am?â
âYes. Youâve just told me that youâre a member of the board.â
Since the two groups merged, the Carousel Group received most of 405 Why Did You Do It?
the Gabriel Groupâs shares. Shirley and her relatives, on the other hand, refused to sell their shares. As a result, the Carousel Group could only combine by dividing its shares.
The secretary was polite, but she maintained her firm stand.
Rachel sized her up and suddenly asked, âWhatâs your name? Youâre not Wayneâs secretary, are you?â
The secretary said with a smile, âThis group belongs to Mr. Wright, so it makes no difference who his secretary is. But you are right, and | am Matthewâs secretary Maria Miller.â
Rachel frowned as she realized sheâd made a mistake. She whispered, âNo wonder youâre stopping me.â
Another secretary walked toward them and said, âExcuse me, Miss Turner. Mr Wright is in a meeting, so you can go wait for him in the lounge. Iâll let you know when the meeting is over.â
After Rachel left, the secretary exhaled a sigh of relief and said, âMaria, itâs perfectly fine if you let her in. You donât have to go against her because sheâs on the board.â
âThe Turners shouldnât have shares in this group.â
âOnly you have the courage to say that because you are Matthewâs aunt. Weâd never dare to stop her. Rachel is getting married to Wayne, so | heard. Perhaps this is why she is always here.â
âSheâs not going to get what she wants,â Maria said coldly as she stared at Rachel who was sitting in the lounge.
