Chapter 113 How Did I Offend him?
The room full of roses and the words of apology on the card made her feel better. But, when she calmed down and sat down, she was still feeling worried.
Through her time with Wayne, Anna found that he was not as indifferent as he seemed. He was a responsible man, both towards the women around him and the children. However, this was not why she could let him take care of Matthew just like that.
She had been in touch with the hospital doctor because she was worried about Matthew. When she learned that his vomiting and diarrhea were not caused by food poisoning but by fever, she was not only not relieved, but she felt even worse.
In her opinion, although Wayne doted on Matthew very much, he just wasn’t attentive enough. When they first met, the chandelier fell and almost hit Matthew. Later, Matthew was often sick. Anna could see that he simply did not take good care of the child over the years from these incidents.
She believed that she should talk to him about Matthew later.
As she was thinking, her assistant John returned and said to her, “The people from the headquarters said they would come here to do a random inspection. Mr. Wright and some old directors from the board of directors are coming to visit the hotel later. Should we prepare anything?”
Anna returned to her senses and replied, “No need. When will they arrive?”
“The headquarters said that Mr. Wright has already left and will arrive in about fifteen minutes.”
“OK, ask the manager in charge of the lobby today to come, and let some other foremen to go with me. The others can just do their own jobs.”
After a few more words, Anna straightened her clothes and calmly walked out of the office.
Wayne was not the kind of person who liked superficial formality. Since he and the board of directors were coming to inspect, they wanted to see how the hotel usually was. Anna always worked hard, so she would not panic.
Soon after she came downstairs, she saw three black cars stop in front of the hotel. Several men in their 40s and 50s in suits got out of the cars, and it was clear that they were all members of the board of directors.
They were walking into the hotel side by side with Wayne.
Anna and Wayne looked at each other. Thinking about the room full of flowers in her office, she smiled out and nodded at him, “Mr. Wright, how are you?”
After Mr. Brown greeted the rest of the people, he introduced them to Anna, “Anna, this is Mr. Wright, you know him. These two are Mr. Perez and Mr. Campbell from the board of directors.”
Anna bent down slightly and took the initiative to shake their hands. Both gentlemen looked serious and didn’t show any smiles all the way. They didn’t say why
they were here, only wanted to see the hotel environment.
Anna let two foremen to show them around while she followed behind apprehensively and suspiciously
Wayne was listening and nodding from time to time.
Anna took a notebook and recorded what they said. She didn’t know what they would do, but she knew it would be helpful to write it down.
After walking around for a while, the two directors suggested that they should call the hotel managers to an impromptu meeting in the conference room.
Mr. Brown organized the meeting, while Anna went back to her office to get the materials. She had just reached the door when she met Wayne, who had just come back from the bathroom
She greeted him respectfully. After a second of hesitation, she asked, “I’ve never seen the directors come to the hotel to inspect in person. Is there something wrong? Why they came here themselves?”
Wayne glanced at her and looked a little surprised. He replied, “There are foreign guests coming to the city for exchange in two days, and they will stay here. So, they came to see the rooms first.”
Anna nodded and pushed open the office door, “Then I’ll get the materials now. I’ll go to the meeting right away.”
He suddenly frowned, thinking, No wonder she doesn‘t care about what happened that day at the hospital. It seems she was busy these days.
“Well, about security…”
Anna spoke as she walked out of the office. Before she could finish, she realized that Wayne was not waiting for her at the door. She was instantly a little embarrassed. After looking around and finding that no one was there, she coughed twice and walked towards the conference room
“When will they check in?” “Three days later.”
*How many of them will arrive? What if our hotel doesn’t have enough vacant rooms? As it is touring season now I’m afraid there won’t be enough rooms to accommodate the quests.” Anna
