Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 177

177 Not Just Acquaintances

“Okay, keep focusing on him. I hope you can find out who exactly made him do it and who ordered him. By the way, find out what he‘s been doing lately.”

Gabe nodded and said, “Got it. By the way, Miss Gabriel‘s flight will arrive at the airport tonight. Are you going to pick her up?”

Wayne frowned and said, “No. I‘m going to the hospital tonight to see Charlotte.” Gabe froze for a moment. Then he sighed in his mind and suddenly felt sympathy for

Anna.

Anna hasn‘t done anything. Yet, they blamed her before for the fire. Now that things are pretty much checked out, and we know that the fire has nothing to do with her. Also, we are sure that she did not know that Matthew was in the kitchen. But too bad that Wayne doesnt seem to care about her anymore, Gabe thought to himself.

“Mr. Wright, there‘s one more thing. The hotel staff has been gossiping about Miss Gabriel lately. Should we do something about it?”

Most of the staff thought that since Anna and Wayne had broken up, and they talked about her all they wanted. They dared not to say that Wayne did something wrong, so they could only talk s**t about Anna

When Gabe went to the hotel to take care of business the other day, he heard Anna‘s subordinate employees talking about gossip.

Someone said, “It took so long for us to realize what kind of person she is. Anyway, I‘ve never seen a woman treat her step–children nice. It seems that when people are in danger, they usually only protect their children. Luckily, Mr. Wright found out that she‘s a selfish woman. Anna would get nothing from him!“.

“Exactly! I think she used to pretend to be nice.”

Anna hadn‘t resigned from the hotel yet. Wayne suspended her only because he wanted her to stay. However, people misunderstood him,

Gabe was worried that if Anna heard their gossip, she would also misunderstand Wayne.

And then, Gabe heard Wayne say indifferently, “Just let them gossip. I don‘t care about that.”

His tone was very grim, and Gabe sighed in his heart when he heard this.

*** It was already evening when that plane landed in Birmingham. After picking up her luggage, Anna walked out of the airport. There were many people at entrance of the airport, but she immediately recognized Peace standing in front of her car.

“Hey, where‘s Tammy?” Seeing that Peace seemed to have come alone, Anna asked.

After Peace shoved Anna‘s suitcase into the trunk, she then winked at her and said, “Oh, she‘s home. Don‘t worry, Anna, she should be asleep by now. Anyway, I think you should get in the car first and see who also came to see you.”

Puzzled, Anna pulled open the car door. She then immediately saw a young man wearing

sunglasses. He smiled at her, and his teeth were shining under moonlight. He said, “Surprise, Anna!”

Surprised and delighted, Anna immediately got into the car and closed the door. She asked, “Hey! Scott, what are you doing here? Are you done with your variety show?”

Scott leaned over her shoulder and said unhappily. “Well, that show is over for now Honestly, I‘ve been in a bit of trouble lately So I thought I‘d stay at your house to hide for a while

After Peace got into the driver‘s seat, she said. “Let me tell you, you can take your refuge, but you‘d better not stay in at our house. There will be a bunch of paparazzi following you no matter where you go. If you stay at Anna‘s house, she won‘t be able to come home at all!”

Scott frowned and hesitated for a moment, and he looked like he was about to say something hard to say

He said, “No, I don‘t even care about those annoying paparazzi now Ive been in some trouble lately But, none of my friends are reliable, and I don‘t want to talk to them about it. So, I can only tell you guys”

“What is it?” Anna looked at him worriedly

Scott looked a little distracted and even speechless as he said, “Oh, well, just something typical in show business. You know, my agent took me to dinner with the investor of my new show the other day But, that investor made a move on me, which made me so damn disgusted”

Peace laughed out loud and said, “Hey. I think it’s pretty good. If that rich woman wants to date you, just say yes to her! I think that you should feel satisfied, honey.”

Scott was so angry that his face went pale. He said furiously, “What? I wish that person were a woman! But, no, he‘s a man! Damn it!”

A homophobia is usually a gay.“” “I believe you now, Peace.” Anna said.

Scott said in embarrassment and annoyance, “Hey, stop it! Stop laughing! I told you this because I want you to help me with my problems, not to let you make fun of me! Stop the car, Peace, and let me out. I can‘t stand to be humiliated by you guys anymore!”

Hes so naive! Scott thought that if he said he was straight to that man, it would deter him. No way! In show business, straight men could be gay for pay. Anna thought to herself.
