Anna arrived at the hospital on time for the medical examination and waited with the other interns at the entrance. When Anna arrived at her destination, she was taken aback by the large letters on the building: Carousel Group.
She was completely shocked. There were so many businesses in this city, as well as so many hospitals and expatriates working there. But sheâd been thrown here by chance.
Although Anna was embarrassed and surprised, she knew she couldnât leave as she wanted. Taking a deep breath, she collected herself and joined the others.
Anna assumed she wouldnât meet Wayne because they needed to do medical checks on the newest recruits. As a result, she was relieved. The physical examination was scheduled to take place in the gym on the fifth floor, which was divided into several areas. The doctors instructed everyone to form a line for an orderly physical examination. Anna had been assigned by the testing department to do the blood test.
Two Carousel Group employees were chatting as they stood at the door. While preparing her utensils, Anna listened to their conversation. âNowadays, college students are so different. We used to have no clue When we were looking for a job after graduation, and we had no idea what those companies were like.â
âOf course. I read the new employeesâ resumes yesterday, and I noticed that many of them came through internal recommendations. Do you know how I saw that?â 406 Wayneâs Getting Married?
âWhy.â
âBecause of their degrees! Iâve never even heard of those schools they went to. I asked the people at the secretariat and they said that Mr. Turner had asked them to come here. I thought he never took part in board resolutions!â
âThatâs because heâs never been involved in the affairs of the company. Mr. Wright was too embarrassed to refuse it because he had only made this one request recently.â
Hearing that, Anna was speechless.
Then those two people abruptly lowered their voices. Anna was still arranging the tools, and she could hear their entire conversation because she was so close to the door.
One of them said, âSo the rumors are true? Rachel Turner is really going to marry Mr. Wright?â
Anna froze. The two employees continued, not realizing Anna was staring at them, âRachel has been coming to the office lately and often spends all day in Wayneâs office. So, I think it must be true. â
âI heard Maria from the secretariat say that it isnât true. She doesnât seem to like Rachel, and Matthew doesnât seem to like her either.â âThatâs for sure! No child would agree to have his father find him a stepmother! Matthew is a wealthy kid. So if his stepmother has a new baby, he will inherit less money.
No way! Matthew is only twelve years old! â
âHave you seen how he lectures people at work? | made a small mistake the day before yesterday. When he found out, he almost fired me. He grew up without a mother to care for him, which is why he is cruel and cold-blooded. He will undoubtedly become more ruthless as he grows up.â â406 Wayneâs Getting Married?
Anna couldnât take it any longer. She put down what she was holding and said, âHeâs just a child. Why are you talking about him like this?â The two people froze. Despite being intimidated by Annaâs attitude, one of them asked, âWhat are you talking about?
This is not your hospital, but the Carousel Group. Mind your own business!â
Anna said indifferently, âYou did something wrong, so of course you will be punished. Why do you talk about Matthew that way?
A gossipy employee like you should have been fired a long time ago.â
Even though there were many people in the room, Anna did not maintain her manners. Everyone was taken aback and had no idea what was going on âWho are you to say that about me?â said the employee. Another employee tugged on her sleeve and said, âStop it! Donât you know that everyone is looking at us?â
âIâm not wrong! You see, she slandered me! We werenât talking about anything, and we were just talking about work. She canât say that about me! Even if Wright and Matthew knew this, they wouldnât think | did anything wrong. Besides, you donât have any evidence that Iâve said those words!â The woman said in an aggressive tone.
Anna frowned. She believed they should have fired her sooner, or there would be severe consequences later.
âDr. Gabriel,â a man called out to Anna at that moment.
Both of those employees responded faster than Anna, with one saying, âHello, Mr. Davis!â
Anna looked at Joshua, puzzled, and then realized what was happening. Joshua appeared to hold a high position in the company. They both apologized to Anna after he said a few words to the two employees. 406 Wayneâs Getting Married?
âBecause youâre both from the secretariat, I wonât say anything else. If you do that again, I will fire you.â Joshua said indifferently to them. Anna stopped organizing the tools but continued to listen to him. She was torn between emotions.
âAre you all right?â Joshua asked after the two employees had left.
âThank you for your help, Mr. Davis. With due respect, but I donât think we have met each other before. Why did you bother to help me like that, Mr. Davis?â Anna asked, showing a look of confusion.
So, youâre the real Joshua Davis! You look handsome, elegant and gentle, And undoubtedly, youâre rich. Ijust donât see why Nancy didnât want to give it a chance to go ona blind date with you. Maybe it would work out ifit were her that went on the blind date. Anna said to herself.
âThatâs because you have helped me earlier, Anna,â Joshua answered âOh! You mean the blind date?â When thinking of the scene in which how Nancy questioned her hysterically, Anna had got the gist of what was actually going on. She wanted to ask if Wayne had made a deal with Joshua that he was willing to let Wayne go on the blind date for him. However, on second thought, Anna perished the thought as the question might embarrass Joshua.
âActually, Iâve known Nancy fora long time,â Joshua said.
âThen how long have you known her?â
âWe were neighbors when we were kids. Sheâs two years older than me, and sheâs probably forgotten about me.â
Anna was stunned, thinking, Huh?/ thought the fact that Wayne switched his identity so that he could go on a blind date with me, who also switched my identity with Nancy was already crazy enough. And now, Joshua, youâre telling me youâve known Nancy since you were a kid and â406 Wayneâs Getting Married? that you want to be with her. Oh, my! This is crazy!
After collecting her thoughts, Anna nodded to Joshua and put on an awkward smile. Then she left after saying goodbye to him.
At 12:00, the medical examinations were paused, and the nurses went to eatin the cafeteria.
After Anna finished packing up her things, she saw Joshua waiting for her at the door. She shook her head awkwardly and thought, Iâve avoided Nancy, but I canât avoid Joshua. It seems that he wants to get some information about Nancy from me.
Damn it! donât think Joshua will let âme go until Nancy finally agrees to be with him. Urgh... What should I do?
âDoctor, are you busy now? Letâs go to lunch together. I heard that you were friends with Nancy. It would be great if you can tell me more about Nancy. I want to get to know her better,â Joshua approached Anna and requested.
âIâm sorry, but Iâll eat in the cafeteria. After | finish eating, I still have to get ready for work this afternoon.â
âGreat. Then, letâs have lunch in the cafeteria.â
They then headed to the cafeteria together. On the way, Anna noticed that many people were staring at her, which was a familiar sensation. When Anna and Wayne were dating, many people in the company were envious and jealous of her.
At the same time, Noel took his plate and sat down. Then he heard several people next to him discussing the morning gossip.
Since this thing had something to do with Joshua, he listened to their conversation attentively.
âSo, Joshua knows that doctor?â
âOf course! He yelled at those employees for the sake of that doctor. â406 Wayneâs Getting Married? Honestly, âve never seen him so angry before!â
Rumor number one was getting out of hand. Joshua had only warned them, but the employees turned it into a tantrum. Noel was intrigued by this and listened more carefully.
Just then, their voices trailed off. Someone whispered, âTheyâre here.â
Noel looked up, where everyone was looking and saw two familiar people walk in. Staring at them, Noel was puzzled until he suddenly remembered something. âI got it!â he exclaimed.
When he saw Anna in her apartment that day, he thought she looked familiar. Only just now did he realize that Anna was Joshuaâs date. While Noel was picturing their relationship, he thought of Wayneâs tender attitude toward Anna. âOh, crap!â he exclaimed.
Instantly, Noel dropped his plate and dashed out the door. And the people around him were taken aback, unaware of what was happening. In the presidentâs office, There were several lunch boxes on the coffee table, and Matthew was eating alone. Wayne sat at his desk, looking through the files.
Noel entered the office after he knocked on the door. He looked at Matthew, unsure whether he should say it or not.
Wayne looked up and asked, âWhy are you back? Whatâs wrong?â
âI saw the doctor in the cafeteria,â Noel said cautiously, looking at Matthew.
Wayne raised his head, nodded, and said, âOh.â He looked very calm.
Noel thought for a moment, realizing that Wayne had planned the 406 Wayneâs Getting Married? whole thing. Every year, another hospital gave new hires physicals, but it was switched to the one Anna worked at this year.
âJoshua Davis is having lunch with her,â Noel said, knowing it was all in Wayneâs hands.
Surprised, Wayne asked, âWhat?â
