“Matthew is your brother.”
The dim streetlight shone on Anna as she cried aloud while holding Tammy tightly.
Three days later, Anna went to the HR office again to turn in her resignation letter.
The employee looked at Anna in surprise and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Gabriel. But we can’t let you resign. As you know, you are now
suspended from work. So, you have to wait for the hotel…”
“I’ll sue the company if they won’t let me go.”
Anna simply cut her off. The employee couldn’t help but be frightened by Anna’s expressionless face.
“No matter what you will say, this is my resignation letter. Since I have given it to you, I am resigning, whether you allow it or
not.”
As soon as she finished, Anna walked out of the room without saying a word.
The employee could do nothing but stare blankly at her back.
“Anna, Is this the end? You really don’t want to work here anymore?” Peace asked Anna after she got into the car.
Anna buckled her seat belt and raised her eyebrows. She replied, “I sent out my resume to a few companies last night, and I already have two interviews for next week. Let’s go, Peace. Oh, you know what we should do? We should celebrate it! I will be free for a whole month before I get my next job. So, I can have dinner and hang out with you these days.”
Peace asked with concern, “Really? Are you sure you can find a new job that quickly? Anna, don’t get me wrong, but you just quit without Wayne’s approval. So, I’m worried that other companies won’t dare to hire you.”
“Don’t worry, honey. It’s not like he owns all the hotels in Birmingham. Even if I can’t get a job, I can still make a living. Anyway, I’ve got it all figured out.”
Peace slowed the car down a bit and asked, “Oh? Anna, what are you going to do?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t tell you right now. But I’ll let you know when I’m ready.”
Peace smiled and looked relieved. She said, “Really? Oh, that’s great! So, you have a plan for your future. If I had known, I wouldn’t
have felt worried about you.”
But, in fact, Anna was from a wealthy family. So, it didn’t matter if she had a job or not. All she had to do was get her father to give her money. Besides, since she had made up with her relatives on her mother’s side, they would also support her. So, she could definitely
still live carefreely in this city.
A tense meeting was taking place at the Carousel Group’s headquarter while Anna and Peace were out shopping. When the fire first
broke out, it hadn’t affected the company much because the PR department had dealt with it promptly.
However, because it happened due to the company’s negligence in safety, this accident drew the government’s attention. As if it
wasn’t bad enough, their opponents were slandering them. Therefore, all of the Carousel Group hotels were temporarily closed, and the
outlook was bleak.
“What is that what you’ve got? Is that the loolprool solution you’ve made7″
In a severe and stern tone, Wayne questioned everyone in the meeting room, which shocked and terrified everyone.
Wayne then continued, “if you continue to work like this, you might as well just retire right now!”
Thury, Wayne sarmed the folder on the table heavily. The papers in the folder fell out and floated all over the table as he did
“That planı vucks. Make a new one and bring it to me as soon as possible. No one is allowed to let your guard down now. This is a
critical time, so all of you must be alert. If anyone drops the ball, then get the hell out of the company. All right, you can go now.”
Wayne said impatiently. Everyone then left the room with their folders in their hands and sighed with relief. All of them appeared
worn out and exhausted.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Wright lately? He seems so irritable.”
“Oh, maybe it’s because so many things have happened lately. A fire in the hotel a few days ago made them suffer a great loss, and
the follow up measures were not well done. I heard that his son almost died because of the fire. So, of course, he’s angry.”
“What? I thought he was getting married!”
An employee who knew what was going on said, “Getting married? It’s not gonna happening! It seems that Anna’s dream of

room.
“What’s wrong with you lately?” Karl asked mockingly as he felt the conference room was too quiet.
Wayne lifted his head, gave him an impatient look, and said, “It seems like you have a lot of time on your hands. You’re ready to
