    A shiver ran down Anna’s spine. She knew that if she didn’t go on that. blind date this afternoon, Nancy


    would hunt her down with a scalpel.


    After replying to Nancy’s text message, Anna sighed and looked at the exit in front of her. Her phone


    then rang again.


    Anna frowned and picked up the phone, saying, “I replied to your text message, and I’ll be on that blind


    date for you. You don’t have to keep telling me that.”


    Then Anna heard a man ask, “What? A blind date?”


    Anna was taken aback and looked down at her phone. It wasn’t Nancy’s number.


    Anna recognized the caller and asked, “Wayne, is that you?”


    “It’s the weekend, so why don’t we go to dinner?” Wayne said after a brief pause.


    Anna froze and said, “I’m not avable right now. Besides, you don’t have to invite me to dinner. “


    Wayne asked unhappily, “Oh? So you’re going on a blind date? With who?”


    Anna was at a loss for what to say. When she looked up, Isabe was. already walking toward the car.


    So, she said right away, “Awyer named Joshua. And it’s none of your business.”


    After that, she got off the phone. Wayne had been sitting in his car for quite some time under Anna’s


    apartment building. He frowned as he looked at his phone. He thought, Joshua?wyer?! s it possible


    that Anna’s going to have a blind date with Joshua Davis? I’m gotta find it out 397 Switching Identities


    no matter what!


    Wayne then returned to the office. Noel had just left the finance office when he saw Wayne. “Mr.


    Wright, I thought you weren’ting back today,” he said.


    Wayne gave him a cold stare, making him shiver and daring him to ask more questions. He asked,


    “What was the original n for today?”


    Noel followed him, saying, “Today, the legal department and the secretary will hold a meeting. Mr.


    Davis was unanimously appointed as the legal department’s lead attorney by the board. We need you


    to make the announcement in person and then coordinate with the various departments.”


    “Cancel the meeting now and tell Davis to meet me in my office. I have something urgent to talk to him


    about.” Wayne said impatiently and coldly.


    “But, Mr. Wright. All the board members have already been waiting for you in the meeting room. Are


    you sure you want to…”


    Before Noel finished his sentence, Wayne cut him off, ring at him, “Just do as | said! Damn it!”


    Instantly, Noel felt a shiver running down his spine. After a few seconds, he said in a trembling voice


    under Wayne’s re, “I… ‘m onit. I’m so sorry!”


    A few minutester, Joshua arrived at the door to Wayne’s office. As soon as Wayne’s secretary saw


    him, she opened the door for him respectfully and informed Wayne of hising.


    “Greetings, Mr. Wright. To what do I owe the pleasure?” Joshua said in a light tone while stepping into


    Wayne’s office and looking around.


    “Congrattions. Mr. Davis, you will now be the legal department’s lead attorney. I hope you will take


    the responsibility and do your best here, 397 Switching Identities” Wayne said, looking at him seriously


    with his sharp eyes


    “Oh, thanks. With due respect, shouldn’t you congratte me at the meeting that has been canceled


    just now? Otherwise, I’m afraid that other board members won’t know that you arranged for me to take


    the position,” Unbuttoning his suit, Joshua uttered when sitting down in front of Wayne gracefully.


    Then he continued, “Right. | assumed that you’ve already known that I’m not interested in taking the job


    and that | n to turn it down. Is that why you asked to talk to me in private, Mr. Wright?”


    Huh! You’re quite bold, aren’t you? As a neer here, you’ve already used to talking to me in a


    seemingly polite but somewhat insulting tone. Never had | been treated by my employees like this


    before. Damn it! But I can’t lose it right now as | have something urgent to talk with you, Joshua. | need


    to confirm whether you’re thewyer that Anna is going to have a blind date with. As for your job,


    I’lldeal with itter!


    Thinking of that, Wayne answered in a polite yet indifferent tone, “Indeed, It turns out that you’re just as


    smart and insightful as others told me. As you know, the position had been vacant for a long time. So,


    your sudden quit will make it hard for the HR department to hire a new lead attorney for the time being.


    I wonder, if it will be eptable that | invite you to lunch and discuss the matter? What do you think, Mr.


    Davis?” Joshua didn’t look up and kept packing his bag. He said, “Well, ‘m sorry that I have to turn you


    down again on this matter. I have ns this noon, and | took the afternoon off.”


    Wayne asked, “Really? Your father says you rarely go out on weekends and only go to the library and


    the courthouse”


    “I have a blind date,” Joshua said, gathering his belongings and picking up his bag. 397 Switching


    Identities


    Hearing that, Wayne froze for the second time today. He shouted in his heart, What the f**k?! Anna is


    really having a blind date with you?! It can’t be! I, Ineed further evidence to prove it!


    Then, with a cough, Wayne asked, “May | know who you’re having a blind date with?”


    “Well… Okay. I can’t recall her name, but | remember that she’s a doctor in a hospital of our city. My


    family arranged the blind date for me. I apologize for not being able to join you for lunch. I’ll certainly


    invite you the next time.”


    A doctor! s**t! It must be Anna! It can’t be a coincidence that


    they two are having a blind date on the same day! Wayne reasoned to himself.


    After that, he asked, “Mr. Davis, may | ask you another question?”


    “Yes, go ahead,” Joshua answered. He appeared a bit impatient at the moment, though


    “Do you know that blind date of yours? Are you friends or are you two just total strangers to each


    other?”


    “Yes and no. I’ve known her since I was a kid. And we were good


    friends back then. After all these years, I still can’t get over her. But I don’t know whether she still feels


    the same for me.”


    Huh? That’s strange. Anna had told me that she hated ying with boys when she was little as she


    was always bullied by them. In that case, it’s impossible that Anna is the same person that Joshua


    refers to, Could it be that…


    “Alright. Time is flying. I have to leave now, Mr. Wright,” Joshua’s voice brought Wayne’s wandering


    mind back to the present.


    “Wait!” Wayne shouted.


    Upon hearing that, Joshua turned around and asked, slightly

    “The person you were referring to is Nancy Moore. Am | right?”


    “How… How did you know?”

    “It doesn’t matter how | got to know about it. Also, I know that

    “Is that a joke? Do you have to get back at me like this simply because turned you down, Mr, Wright?”


    Joshua asked in disbelief.


    Shaking his head, Wayne answered, “Do | sound like I’m joking with you?”
