Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 175

175 Why Didn‘t He Say So

Mike didn‘t say anything to make Anna stay. So, she walked straight out of the house.

It was noon, and the sun was very bright and scorching. But Mike‘s wife was standing in the sunlight feeding the chickens as if she didn‘t feel the heat.

As Anna came out, she found that Mike‘s wife was looking into the house. When she saw Anna, she immediately lowered her head and seemed to resent her.

As Anna walked past her, she clearly heard that woman curse, “What a troublesome woman!”

Anna looked back at her, frowned, and asked, “What? Who are you talking to?”

The woman looked up and snarled, “Ah, it‘s none of your business. I said that my chickens are troublesome.”

The chickens inside the coop were still small. Then, one chicken cooed a few times to express how discontent it was

Of course, Mike‘s wife would not scold her own chickens for being troublesome, unless she‘s crazy. So, she must be cursing me. Besides, there is no one here but the two of us. Anna thought to herself,

Anna looked at her and said, “Mike is such a good baker. It‘s such a shame that he retired after the incident

“Humph, I don‘t know what you‘re talking about.”

“The hotel suffered huge economic loss because of the fire. And someone has to be responsible for that matter. I think that even if the hotel only let him pay for a small part of the money, it is still a lot. You can‘t solve that just by retiring and leaving. So, do you know anything about this?”

Hearing that, the woman‘s face immediately turned pale.

“Anyway, I‘m staying at a nearby B&B tonight. You can find me there if you have anything to say to me. I will be waiting for you.” After saying this, Anna left Smith‘s house without looking back

Anna thought to herself, it appeared that Mike‘s wife obviously knew something about the fire. Or maybe, she knew the truth about it!

Anna had some thoughts in mind, but she still needed someone to confirm that.

“Hello. Did you find Mike?” Anna had just arrived where she was staying when the owner‘s wife warmly greeted her.

Anna stayed at the fisherman‘s house. That small village had a beautiful view, and many people would travel there every summer. So, almost every family turned their house into a B&B hotel.

Anna smiled and replied, “Yes, I‘ve found him. Did your husband go out?”

“Yeah, right. He took our son to the beach to fish. A guest just ordered seafood from us, and he will pick it up in a few minutes.”

“Is that so? It seems that the seafood here is very popular.” Anna sat by the window and drank her coffee. She looked out the window and felt that the sea breeze was brushing her face.

Not long after, a car pulled up in front of the door. As soon as the assistant got out of the car, he saw Anna. Then, he asked warily, “Hey, it‘s you again? Are you following us?”

Anna didn‘t know why this assistant was so hostile to her. She rolled her eyes at him and slowly said, “I was going to ask you about it too! I stay here, so I‘m not stalking you. Anyway, it seems to me that you‘re the stalker.”

“You stay here?” A man asked.

The assistant was startied at that voice. He turned around and said respectfully. “Hi, Mr. Wilson.”

“Yes! You can ask this lady if you don‘t believe me.” Mr. Wilson did not ask more questions but walked up to her and asked, “Can I sit here?” “Yeah, why not?”

Before Wilson could sit down, his fussy assistant said, “Mr. Wilson, wait! Please don’t sit down yet. I‘ll go get you your cushion.”

The assistant then immediately ran out. Anna looked at his back, sighed, and said from the bottom of her heart, “Mr. Wilson, your assistant is more attentive than a secretary! He even cares about whether you can sit comfortably or not.”

Mr. Wilson nodded and then sat down in front of Anna. He said, “Well, I found an antique chair made of valuable wood at Smith’s house later. That’s a great piece of furniture and more valuable than that cabinet.”

“Really? Congratulations!” Anna said.

“Thanks. But, I think it’s all thanks to you. Can you tell my assistant your bank account later, please? He‘ll give you the reward you deserve.”

Anna waved her hand and said nonchalantly, “No, thanks. I was just there to do my own thing, and I didn’t seem to help you, so you don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Wilson.”

The assistant returned after only a short time. When he saw that Mr. Wilson was already seated, he clutched that cushion with an aggrieved expression.

Anna surveyed the two of them for a moment and suddenly understood something.

Mr. Wilson looked like he was just in his forties. He was handsome, very composed and seemed like he had been through many things. So, he seemed a bit older and more mature than Wayne. However, he and his assistant look like two completely different kinds of people. The

assistant was young and energetic. He looked like an elite, but he sometimes talked like a fool. Moreover, he had an inexplicable hostility towards Anna

Oh, a calm president and his sassy assistant. Interesting combo. Anna thought to herself.

After they made small talk, the fisherman returned with his son. They then gave Mr. Wilson and his assistant a box of seafood. The assistant opened the box and took a closer look before carrying it to the car.

Looking at the name on the card, Anna read it in her mind: Randal Wilson Nice name, Anna thought to herself.

She came faster than I expected, Anna thought.

“That‘s because…” The woman‘s expression became embarrassed. She only said the words halfway and then became silent.
