When Anna returned home, Tammy gave her a warm welcome.
âMommy, you are finally back! Did you enjoy yourself last night? You must be very happy!â . Tammy said excitedly.
Although Anna knew that Tammy didnât know much about the adult world at such a young age, she couldnât help but flick Tammy gently, âWhat makes you think that I must be very happy? And why did you ask Wayne to go to the engagement party?â
Tammy rubbed her head in pain and said with a pout, âIt was not me but Matthew and Auntie Peace who asked him to go to the party. Auntie Peace said that Uncle Wayne was a hero who saved you!â
âDo you think I will believe what you said?â Anna said and glanced at her. Then she poured a glass of water for herself and asked casually, âWhat else did your Auntie Peace say?â
âShe also said that in the fairy tales, the beauty would marry the hero who saved her,â Tammy answered honestly.
âPoof!â Anna was so shocked that she choked on the water and coughed.
Then she walked to the master bedroom, knocked on the door quickly, and said, âPeace, come out! I need to have a talk with you!â
It was the weekend and Peace should be sleeping at home. However, Anna knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened the door for her.
Anna felt something wrong and opened the door in confusion. Then she saw that the room was in a mess and Peace was not in the room.
âAuntie Peace is away on a business trip. She left early in the morning.â Tammy ran over and said. âShe also said that when she wasnât here, you could invite Uncle Wayne to our home at any time. She wouldnât mind it.â
âWhat? Who said I would invite him to our house?â Anna raised her voice and said.
With a guilty conscience, she blushed and covered her face at once. âForget it. Iâm so tired. Iâll go to sleep now. Donât disturb me.â
Tammy, who was driven back to her room but peeped at Anna through the c***k of the door, covered her mouth and snickered.
Auntie Peace is awesome! li seems that Mom and Uncle Wayne enjoyed themselves last night!
In the afternoon, Anna still felt sore in her waist and back. She tossed and turned in bed and couldnât fall asleep.
At the thought of what had happened last night, she blushed and pulled the quilt over her head.
After a while, she came out from the quilt and gasped for air. Then she kept tossing and turning on the bed and sulked.
If Peace hadnât asked me to attend the engagement party, everything about last night CHUPILI UUTUULLIUL have happened. Itâs all her fault!
Thinking of this, Anna suddenly came to her senses and realized that it was plotted by Peace.
At the airport Peace, whose flight had been delayed, was sitting idly and irritably in the lounge of the airport.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
When she saw the voice message from Anna, her eyes brightened and her mood get better. She unlocked the screen, clicked on the message, and then heard Annaâs complaints leisurely.
âLet me ask you a question. You deliberately egged me to go to the engagement party and then informed Wayne of it, didnât you?â
Hearing that, Peace couldnât help chuckling. She replied to her, âNo. How could it be possible that I did such a thing? Did anything happen between you and Wayne last night? Why didnât you come back home last night?â
âNothing happened,â Anna replied.
âYou sound so angry. I donât believe that nothing has happened between the two of you,â Peace said.
Anna didnât reply to her anymore.
Thinking about Annaâs angry tone, Peace could even imagine Annaâs red face and her embarrassed look.
Alas. Itâs a pity that I canât see her expression now. Peace thought with a complacent smile.
At this time, the staff of the airport told her that the flight was boarding. Peace then leisurely boarded the plane and found her seat.
After taking a seat, she sent a voice message in a low voice, âIâve boarded the plane. You can share your passionate night with me when I come back from the business trip.â Then she switched off her phone.
âExcuse me, Miss. Is the luggage in the overhead compartment yours? May I move it aside?! want to put my bag in the compartment.â A deep male voice came from beside her.
Without even raising her head to look at the man, Peace said casually, âItâs not mine. You can move it if you have to.â
âThank you.â The man thanked her politely and began to move the luggage in the compartment.
The next moment, he recognized Peace and paused.
Meanwhile, Peace, who felt that the manâs voice sounded familiar, put down her iPad and raised her head, Then their eyes met.
âItâs you!â The two of them called out in surprise at the same time.
After confirming his seats, Karl sat down next to Peace and politely reached out his hand. âMiss Brooks, what a coincidence that we meet again. Glad to see you.â
Peace rolled her eyes and didnât shake hands with him. Then she raised her hand to motion the stewardess to come.
âMiss, what can I do for you?â âI want to change a seat.â Hearing that, Karl was very embarrassed and froze.
The airline stewardess also sensed the awkward atmosphere and said with an embarrassed smile, âMiss, Iâm sorry. The first-
class cabin was fully booked. We donât have any seats available now.â
Peaceâs face darkened. She cast a cold glance at Karl and asked, âWhat about the economy class? I donât mind going to the economy class. Anywhere is fine with me as long as I wonât sit beside this man.â
âWhat do you mean?â Karl looked at her with a frown and said unhappily, âDo you think I want to sit next to you? I wish I could change a seat too!â
âAnyway, I donât want to sit beside a bad-mannered man like you!â Peace said coldly.
âSorry, the economy class was also fully booked,â the stewardess said, looking more embarrassed.
Karlâs face was also darkened and he said snappishly, âDo you think you are good-mannered? The plane is about to take off but you made an unreasonable demand to embarrass the airline stewardess. You are no better than me, you bad-mannered woman.â
âYou...â Frowning, Peace was speechless. She looked at the stewardess apologetically and motioned her to leave.
Then she stared at Karl and said, âI donât bother to talk to you. Just pretend that we donât know each other. And donât talk to me from now on.â
Hearing that, Karl didnât get angry and suddenly found it interesting to argue with her. Meanwhile, he couldnât help wondering why Peace was so dissatisfied with him that every time they met she would quarrel with him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the logo on the invitation card on Peaceâs table and his eyes brightened.
Is she also going to attend the activity held by Orangelight Culture Media Co., Ltd? What a coincidence. No, it must be fate, Karl thought and couldnât help smiling.
On the next day.
It was Monday and Anna was very busy with the preparation for the centennial celebration of the Carousel Group She spent the whole day in the hall and divided the hall into different sections.
âThe poster on the partition is not good enough. Make it more beautiful, or the guests will think that they will be disturbed by the noises during the decoration. Be careful and try not to cause any trouble to the guests.â
âAnd donât pile up so many things here. Put all of them into the warehouse and take them out when we need them.â
At this time, a receptionistâs voice came from not far away. âMiss Gabriel, a gentleman wants to see you.â
Anna was directing the workers to install the new chandeliers when she heard the voice.. Then she turned around and saw a familiar figure stand at the front desk.
She hadnât seen her father Frank for many years. Frank looked much older than before. And because of aging, he stooped slightly.
