Chapter 272
Most employees of the Gabriel Group got off work at five o’clock in the afternoon, and Anna also left
thepany at that time every day.
Meanwhile, Wayne had noticed several issues with thepany’s finances, so he offered to stayte
and work.
Anna knocked on the door to his office before leaving and
smiled as she asked, “Wayne, do you need me to stay with you?”
Wayne was looking at hisputer. When he saw her, he instantly felt less tired and more refreshed.
He said, “You don’t have to do that. I’ll be home after | finish reading this.”
Then Anna chuckled,”But | feel bad about this. Please allow me to give you a small raise.”
Wayne narrowed his eyes, motioned toward her, and said, “But you don’t appear to be guilty. Come on
in, Anna.”

“| knew you would let me stay with you.”
With a smile, Anna walked into the office and stood in front of his desk, leaning over to look him in the
eyes.
Just as Wayne finished his word, he held the back of Anna’s head and had her close to him. Then
Wayne started kissing Anna hard before she could even react.
Anna stepped away from him, and then looked back nervously and muttered, “What are you doing,
Wayne? | just left the door open! Others might see us!”
After asking Wayne to work as treasurer in herpany, Anna suspected that rumors about them were
spreading throughout thepany.
She was afraid that if they made out in the office and got caught, those board members would give her
a hard time.
Wayne, on the other hand, appeared to be at ease.
“All right, you can go now,” he said, raising an eyebrow.
“What? Are you mad at me?” Anna asked.
Wayne gave her a friendly smile and said, “I’ll feel better after kissing you. What’s the problem? What
else would you like to do with me to ‘charge me up’?”
Realizing what he meant, Anna blushed, and muttered, “No. | think I’d better go. Bye!”
Then she left the office without hesitation. At the same time, Wayne smiled tenderly as he looked at her
receding figure.
After walking out of the elevator, Anna immediately went to the underground parking garage and
located her car.
“Hello, Miss Gabriel.”
Anna heard a familiar voice as she opened the car door.
She turned around and saw Peter’s butler, Henry, standing behind her.
Surprised and a bit startled, Anna froze for a while before asking, “Hi, Henry. What brings you here?
Are you here to see Wayne?”
“Yes, Peter asked me to say a few words to Wayne,” Henry nodded.
“Sure, he’s upstairs. You can take the elevator to his office, which is on the tenth floor,” Anna said
politely, pointing to the elevator.
“Okay, thank you. Well, | actually needed to speak with you about something as well. Do you have a
moment now?”
Anna was unsure what Henry intended to say. However, she felt that he wouldn’t hurt her because he
was Peter’s butler.
As a result, she agreed.
“Good. Let’s go to that cafe around the corner, shall we?” Anna suggested.
It was already November, and autumn hade and gone. ording to the weather forecast, a cold
wave was predicted to hit recently.
Along the street, a few dried leaves clung to the sycamore trees, waiting for the perfect moment to
disappear.
Anna and Henry sat by the cafe window where they could see the bustling streets.
“Henry, what do you want to talk to me about?” Anna took the initiative to talk, looking at Henry, who sat
across from her.
Henry nodded, “Okay, then I’ll cut to the chase. Actually, none of this has anything to do with you.
However, since you and Wayne are dating, | thought I’d better tell you about it.” “What is it?” “You know
that Wayne had a big fight with Peter because of you, don’t you?”
“Yeah. So, are you trying to persuade me into breaking up with Wayne?”
Henry said, shaking his head, “No, of course not. Once Wayne decides to do something, not even his
grandfather can change his mind. So, I’m not in the position to intervene. Wayne likes you, as you are
aware. And you don’t want to be enemies with the Wrights.”
