Chapter 205
Anna gasped and replied awkwardly to Wayne, “Hey, you seem to be the president back then.”
“I am the president.”
“But I wasn’t in charge of the clothes brand back then,” he added.
Wayne looked at Andrew and said indifferently, “You heard me on the phone this afternoon. So, do you
still think I’m a liar? Or is it
that you just don’t want to admit it yourself.”
Andrew was trembling with rage. He yelled angrily, “Oh! But this happened because you guys were
fighting over it. You’re really
disgusting! You take the designer as a scapegoat to take the me for you.”
“Oh, if you think so, then there’s nothing I can say.” Wayne looked at him indifferently, then rolled the
paper towel in his hand into a
ball.
The white ball made a smooth arc in the air and smashed precisely into the trash can at the end of the
bed.
In fact, if Anna wasn’t curious about it, Wayne didn’t even want to ask about these trifles that happened
long ago. Besides, it was
Richard who caused the trouble.
Anna looked at the two and said, “If you ask me, I think this is a huge misunderstanding. Carousel
Group failed to investigate the
matter then but let an innocent staff take the responsibility. It was unfair, and that ruined Andrew’s
career.”
Andrew couldn’t agree more about that.
“But, Mr. Cooper, although Carousel Group did wrong, you should not me others without knowing
the truth. You did exactly what executives of the Carousel Group did at the time.”
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Andrew’s face paled a little when he heard thesements.
Anna realized that Andrew just looked cautious when he was telling the story. So, she figured he
probably already knew that he had
wronged Wayne and regretted it. To keep his dignity, he had to act as if he didn’t know.
“OK, enough! Is it possible for you two to reconcile for my sake? Thank you for bringing me the fish, Mr.
Cooper. It’s delicious. Did
you bring me food in order to apologize to me?”
Anna said this to lighten the mood, but Andrew didn’t even c***k a smile. Furthermore, Wayne, a man
who was generally aloof,
stood near him. They both ignored Anna, making things even more awkward between them.
“I think at least Andrew has to apologize to me,” Wayne remarked, pointing his index finger at the
bruise on the corner of his
mouth.
“Look what you did to me!” Andrew yelled angrily, pointing to the bruise on his eye.
“I did it to defend myself, but you were hurting me.”
Anna coughed loudly as she realized they were about to fight again. They then both stopped and
looked at her nervously.
“Hey, I traveled here all the way from Birmingham! Not only did I fail to get you to sign with me, but I got
hurt! I’m feeling very irritable right now. So, you guys need to stop fighting.”
When Wayne heard ber words, he felt guilty. He realized that Anna wouldn’t have been hurt if it weren’t
for him. He was ovee with rage and gazed coldly at Andrew once more.
Andrew, not to be outdone, locked his gaze on him. He then looked at Anna and asked, “Miss Gabriel,
is it true that yourpany
has nothing to do with the Carousel Group?”
Anna nodded her head and said, “Yes, it’s true. I used to work at the Carousel Group’s hotel, but I no
longer do. My family used to
own lemon, and now I’m the president of thepany,
Aona said the word “used to” loudly as it she was trying to remind Wayne of something.
Wayne was going to say something else to Andrew. After hearing her words, he immediately shut his
mouth.
Andrew nodded seriously and said, “OK, fine. Miss Gabriel, I’m sorry for making you hurt. So, I’m
willing to work for you. You‘re free
to ask me anything.”
Confused, Anna asked, “Huh? Really? Say that again, will you?”
Andrew thoughtfully repeated what he had just said, word for word.
Oh my God! I really didn‘t expect Andrew to take responsibility for this. It seems that my injury is well
worth it.
Anna thought to
herseli.
“Great! I’ll write our contract and send it to you as soon as I reach Birmingham.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that. I n to pack up my stuff these days and move to Birmingham. But, I
was hoping that you could do me a favor.”
“What? What do you want her to do for you?” Wayne asked, ring at him. “Oh, I’ll do anything you
ask for,” Anna pinched him and smiled at Andrew.
Wayne’s face flushed with embarrassment.
“So, could you please find me a ce to stay in Birmingham for a while? I’ll move out when I find
another ce.”
“OK, it’s on me! I’ll get you a ce to stay.” Anna agreed right away.
Andrew will bring me a lot of money if he works for me! So, I would certainly be d to find him a
house. Anna thought.
“I hope we can have a good time working together,” Anna said as she reached out an arm to shake
Andrew’s hand.
Wayne grabbed her hand just as she reached out. He shoved her back on the bed angrily, and added,
“Look, your wounds are not
healed yet! So don’t talk to him anymore, okay?”
Andrew nced at him with contempt and said, “Machismo is the number one killer of marriages, Miss
Gabriel. So, you may want to
think twice before you marry him.”
“What do you mean?” Wayne asked, looking at him grimly.
“Well, I’m going home now. I’ll pack my things and try to get back to Birmingham with you guys.”
Andrew said.
He left the hospital in style, as if he hadn’t heard Wayne‘s words.
“Hey, Mr. Cooper, here’s your lunchbox.”
Andrew had already walked along the corridor. He said out loud, “Please throw it away. I’ll buy a new
one when I get back to
Birmingham.”
After Andrew had left, Anna continued ncing at the door and smiled joyfully.
Wayne looked at her grimly as if he was pissed off. He asked, “You are that happy?”
Anna raised an eyebrow and replied, “Oh, Wayne, of course I’m happy! A well-known designer just said
he would like to work for
me.”
“But you‘ve never smiled like that at me before.”
Anna nced at him and said, “You? If I smiled at you like that, people would think I’m a psycho.”
Wayne, who appeared dissatisfied with her response, clenched his teeth and said, “When you were
lying in the operating room just
now, I was putting in a good word for you to him and trying to get him to work for you. But, you’ve only
talked to him since you woke up,
So, why don’t you pay attention to me? Anna, don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Wayfur undy regjetted it nght after he said it. He frowned for a moment and then tried to leave the
room,
He would never have said something like this in the past. He stated this, though, because he was
enraged. He wondered it he
