Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 394 Wayne Is in A Good Mood

Anna thought, /’m not afraid of you! Why would I? She was so angry that she even wanted to slap him.

Wayne left after saying that, much to her delight. And Anna sat nervously in her office until three o’clock when she was relieved of her duties. She walked away without even saying hello when the doctor on the next shift arrived there.

She had to return to work at nine a.m., so she slept in the doctor’s lounge. Being on duty all night was exhausting. However, Anna couldn’t sleep after lying down. She knew she would meet Wayne when she returned to Birmingham but she didn’t expect that she would meet him so soon. She’d only been back a month when she ran into Peter and him at the hospital.

For five years, Anna’d been thinking about it and still wasn’t sure how she’d face Wayne again. Anna knew that if they never saw each other again, time would make them let go of everything. Some people may forget someone after only a few days of not seeing them, while others may take years or even a lifetime.

Thinking of that, Anna had been laying down for several hours until dawn. She awoke with bloodshot eyes after getting out of bed to shower. It was only seven o’clock in the morning.

Before going to work, she went to Nancy’s office and asked her to restore her shift schedule. Nancy asked curiously, “Why did you change your mind? Do you want to meet your father now?”

Anna frowned and said, “He’s not my father! Would you please drop it? Isit fun to tease me like that?” 393 Wayne Is in A Good Mood Seeing that Anna’s face darkened and she was annoyed, Nancy decided to let go of the topic this time. She wanted to keep teasing her though:

After a brief pause, Nancy sighed and said, “No worries, I’ll change your shift for you as long as you go on a blind date for me on Saturday.”

“Dr. Moore, if you ever say I’m Mr. Wright’s illegitimate daughter again,

I’ll tell the head nurse you asked me to go on a blind date for you,” Anna said, taking a deep breath.

“Dr. Gabriel, you can’t do this to me!” Nancy exclaimed.

“You threatened me, so | have to defend myself. I’ll only go on one blind date for you, and I’ll stay out of it from now on.”

After that, Anna returned to the lounge after leaving Nancy’s office. She smelled coffee as soon as she opened the door.

One of her co-workers was eating a bagel. When she saw Anna return, she waved to her and said, “Here, have some breakfast. I was just looking for you, and they said you went to Nancy’s office. The coffee and bagels are from that place around the corner, and they’re delicious. That’s the most popular breakfast shop in the neighborhood.”

Anna was curious because she didn’t know what was good to eat around the hospital. She took a sip of her cappuccino and was amazed by its taste. “Thanks.”

Her colleague smiled and said, “You don’t have to thank me. In all the years I’ve been working here, no one has ever brought me breakfast except my husband. You were on duty here all night long yesterday, right? A young man brought you breakfast this morning.” Anna froze and asked, “This is for me?”

Her co-worker handed her a blueberry bagel and said, “A young man asked me where you were when I got here this morning. I told him that no 393 Wayne Is in A Good Mood one else was allowed in our lounge, so he asked me to bring you breakfast. | happened to be there early, so had some.”

Anna stared in amazement at the cappuccino in her hand. Of course, she knew who this young man was.

The morning meeting had just ended at the Carousel Group headquarters. Several department heads walked out of the conference room cheerfully, which was unusual.

The two directors of the finance department came out of the elevator side by side, talking with each other.

“Mr. Wright is in a good mood today! I found a little mistake with the financial plan this morning, but I didn’t have time to reprint it. | thought he would lose his temper with me again. But I didn’t expect him to say nothing about this.”

“He probably didn’t notice it. Keep your voice down! If he finds out later, he’ll let you go to his office and question you about it.”

“He never makes mistakes. His eyes are even better than a scanner! He can see the problem at a glance. So, he’s definitely in a good mood today. Besides, he kept checking his phone just now.”

The finance department director looked around and lowered his voice, “Someone told me he was on a blind date last week. Is it possible that he’s in a relationship?”

“Is he? He hasn’t been in a relationship since he called off his engagement five years ago. I think he was probably talking business with a client at the time.”

The director sighed and said, “Yeah, I almost forgot about that. I’m not sure what happened that year. But why did he cancel the wedding so. abruptly? | even received his wedding invitation.” 393 Wayne Is in A Good Mood “I’d heard that it had something to do with his son.” “You mean Matthew?”

“Yep. I’ve heard all sorts of rumors. Many people said that Wayne’s fiancée did not treat Matthew well at the time. Wayne found out about it on the wedding day, which is why the engagement was called off”

“Is that so? | think that’s a bit odd.”

“Well, it’s all in the past, so let’s stop talking about this. I’m worried that someone might hear it.”

Around the elevator’s corner, a twelve-year-old boy in a well-tailored suit stood behind a tall potted plant. His assistant was standing by his side, saying cautiously to him, “Don’t take it personally, Matthew. Many people talk about this tedious gossip.”

Matthew looked very calm and composed. He didn’t seem to mind this and just said, “I really don’t like this kind of gossip. My mom will be upset if she comes back and hears it.”

“Then I’ll tell them to stop gossiping about

Matthew said, “No, don’t go. Make an announcement for me. If anyone talks about my father’s personal life again, they’ll lose their bonus for the year.”

The assistant froze for a moment and said, “Really? I’m worried that people might think there’s something really wrong with Mr. Wright if we do so.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why are you worried about that? That’s something his secretary has to take care of for him.” “Sorry, I’ll get right on it.”
