Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 241

241 My Heart Will Always Beat For You

When Anna read the text, she laughed and immediately replied, “Oh, that’s because Karl deserves it. You need not worry about anything, I suppose.”

Anna thought to herself, Karlis such a blabber. Well, I can tolerate his spreading rumors. Yet, it pissed me off that he occasionally failed to say what he was supposed to. It seems that everything will be bad news whenever he spreads the word. Well, he really knows how to muck things up!

However, it was clear to both her and Wayne that the biggest issue in this matter was not Karl at all. Wayne needed a way to vent his anger, though, as he never conceded to defeat.

Even if she expected Wayne to apologize to her, Anna knew best that he wouldn’t.

The following day, Anna arrived back in Birmingham carrying a tender notice from the Joan Group. She had to go through the usual procedures of attending the tender because Gerard had destroyed her previously private arrangement with them.

Andrew agreed with her after she showed him the tender specifications. He said, “Oh, don’t worry. We can satisfy all of these needs, and the design of the staff uniform is not complicated. So, as long as no one gets in the way, this project will be ours.”

“Great! Thank you.”

Andrew asked as he set down the leather ruler in his hand, “By the way, when is Peace leaving?”

After giving it some thought, Anna responded, “Oh, I suppose it’s the day after. Jasper said they were leaving at the end of the month, so it’s probably that day. What’s up? Do you want to say goodbye to her?”

Andrew replied decisively, “Oh, no. Please advise her to return as soon as she’s recovered. She can still succeed me as a head designer even if she returns earlier. If she doesn’t return until a few years later, she’ll only have to be my assistant.”

Anna grinned at him after feeling resigned. After staring at Andrew for a moment, Anna teased him by asking, “Hey Andrew, I heard that you used to date Peace when you were at college. Is that true?”

Andrew’s tanned face immediately flushed. Then, he denied it while glaring at Anna, “What? That’s ridiculous! How could I possibly like her?!”

Anna answered with a serious nod, “Yeah, right. I heard that Peace had been smitten with you for a while before, and she had made a lot of effort to convince you to become her boyfriend. Well, then, you broke up with her a few days after you started dating. It does appear that you didn’t like her, though.”

After briefly freezing, Andrew asked, “What? Did she tell you that?”

“Yes! She said she’d been trying to get your attention, but you thought that her designs were crap. So, you broke up with her after a fight.”

Andrew was silent for a long time. He was panicking and measuring something with a leather ruler when Anna cast a questioning glance his way. Also, he looked slightly dazed.

“Hey, Andrew!” Anna said.

Andrew snapped back to attention and explained, “Huh? Oh, you know what, I broke up with her because she was so grumpy. I don’t like grumpy women.”

Anna exclaimed, “Oh,” grinned, and then turned to leave.

Anna suspected that Andrew might not have wanted to accept the fact that he still had feelings for Peace. Andrew wouldn’t have given Peace his cell phone number when he left Birmingham if he didn’t like her. Being a man who cherished isolation, his ideal way of life was to live alone in the mountains. However, the fact that he only told her how to find him was proof that he had actually fallen for her before.

Anna had no idea what had happened to them before. Therefore, she had no idea if their breakup was because of a misunderstanding or something else.

Two days later, Peace and Karl were ready to go to America. At that time, Anna drove them to the airport.

“Peace, call me when you get there. Don’t forget me, okay?” after saying that, Anna gave Peace a big hug.

Karl nodded immediately. He then glanced at Jasper, who was beside him, and said in a strange tone, “Don’t worry. You see, Jasper is with us all the time. He owns half of Wall Street, doesn’t he?”

Anna looked at him indignantly and said, “Come on, no one is expecting you and Jasper to get along well, but you don’t have to keep talking like that. You know, on top of being a pain in the ass, you’re a bad example to my Peace.”

“Huh? Who are you to make that claim? Even if you say that, she won’t actually become yours if you do. Let me tell you, no one agrees to that! Me, Jasper, and Andrew, who aren’t here, are all her best friends. So, you can’t say that!”

As Peace stood between Anna and Karl, watching them arguing, she felt a bit of déjà vu with this scene. After giving it some thought, she realized that Anna had always been the peacemaker whenever she and Karl had a disagreement in the past.
