Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 156

156 Maybe, Or Maybe Not

Anna’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Wayne say the word “insignificant passers–by“.

She realized that she had been “a insignificant passer-by” to him just a few months before Also, six years earlier, Matthew had been “a insignificant passer-by” to him. So maybe for Wayne, it did not make a difference whether they were around him or not.

Anna couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine and an uncontrollable shiver running down her spine at the thought.

The following day, just as Anna arrived at the hotel door, the receptionist said to her, “Miss Gabriel, a gentleman came here to see you.”

Anna then saw a familiar person in the public lounge area in the lobby. She nodded at the receptionist to thank her and then walked over to him.

The man was Henry, the butler of the Wright family. Henry was dressed in a nice suit. Although he was in his sixties, he still looked energetic, just like Peter.

“Henry, hello. What brings you here?” Seeing Anna, Henry smiled and said, “Hello, ma’am. I’ve brought the files you asked for.”

Henry then gave Anna the paper bag in his hand and lowered his voice, “We dismissed quite a few babysitters that time. You may need some time to identify who she is.”

Anna took it and said, “Thank you. It’s okay. I should be able to find her. Henry, why don’t you have a sit in my office?”

“No, thanks. I’m leaving now. Peter just asked me to deliver something.” With those words, Henry patted his suit and left the hotel.

Just as Anna was walking to the elevator, Wendy stood up from the front desk and asked curiously, “Miss Gabriel, that’s housekeeper of the Wrights, right? What did he say to you?”

Anna raised the paper bag in her hand and said simply, “Oh, nothing, he’s just here to drop off a few things. Focus on your work, Wendy. Oh, and you might want to fix your collar.”

Wendy immediately stood up straight, and then looked down to straighten her collar. When she looked up again, she noticed that Anna had already walked to the elevator on the far side.

“Hey, you‘re so stupid! I just overheard that the Wrights’ housekeeper call Miss Gabriel ‘ma’am’! I think that Miss Gabriel must be engaged to Mr. Wright.” The receptionist sitting next to Wendy said

“I think so, too! I think they’ll get married after a while!” After Anna went back into the office, she called Ryan over.

“Hi, have a seat. This is the file Henry just gave me. I kept the original one, and here‘s a copy. Have a look, please. Do you need anything else?” She said.

Ryan looked at it casually and said, “No, Anna. I’ll go to my room now and organize these files. I’ll see where they’re all living and check their bank accounts. If all goes well, I’ll find them in three days.”

Anna still seemed a little worried about him and said, “Okay. Well, you can call me if you need anything.”

“Don’t worry, it only takes time to find someone. Besides, I have all the time in the world.” Ryan said with a smile, his eyes innocent and clear.

Anna smiled. Then, remembering the message Peace had sent her this morning, she said, “Thank you, Ryan. By the way, why don’t you come over to my place for dinner tonight? I’m grateful to you for helping me film Allie’s video. So, I’d like to treat you to dinner.”

Ryan hesitated and asked, “Okay. Will Wayne be there, too?” “Well, I’m not sure about that. I haven’t told him yet, so I’m not sure if he’s available.”

Karl immediately frowned and said, “That’s for sure! I don’t think there’s any difference in these rings at all, except for the size. Although you keep talking about how well-designed these rings are, they’re all the same! Look at these two rings. Aren’t they exactly the same?”

When the store manager saw their reaction like this, she immediately got a little nervous. She said, “If you can wait a few days, we can make a custom ring for you. But since you want the finished product, you can only pick from here. Most of them are classic rings, and there won’t be any stunning designs except for the shape of the diamonds.”

Karl waved his hand impatiently and, with a glance at Wayne, said, “Well, Wayne, why on earth did you bring me here? You just told me that you think all the rings in this store are average. You know, Peace is a picky person. If she was as easy-going as Anna, then things would be a lot easier! But if I pick a ring that she doesn’t like, then she’s definitely not going to marry me.”

Maybe, Or Maybe Not in front of him and said, “That’s because this store doesn’t specialize in the finished jewelry. In fact, you’d better wait for a while before you propose to her. That way, you can calm down and think about whether you’re doing the right thing. Also, you can wait a little longer because they need time to make you the ring you want. How about you pick a diamond you like now?”
