259 Do You Miss Me?
Ryan said sternly, “It‘s just my speculation, Anna. But I think it‘s probably the truth.”
Everyone in Birmingham knew Wayne didn‘t like dating or being around women. Ada was Wayne‘s companion for the past six years, and she was the sole exception.
In any case. Ada was a relatively unknown actress.
Peter used to think of her as Wayne‘s future wife because she had something out of the ordinary. Therefore, she was not only intelligent, but she also had someone tell her what to do.
Anna felt a shiver running down her spine as she reflected on this. Plus, she reasoned that even Wayne might not have known about it.
Ryan smiled as he noticed Anna‘s worried expression and said, “Stop thinking about it, Anna. I‘ll definitely look into this for you. If Ada is truly working with Richard, you should notify Wayne and advise him to be more cautious of her.”
Anna came to her senses and asked, surprised, “Huh? Do I have to tell him that?”
Ryan nodded and cast a thoughtful glance at the bedroom door. He saw that there were swaying shadows there.
Then he said, “OK, Anna, I should get going. Otherwise, the door will be slammed.” Anna froze for a moment, unsure about what he was saying. “OK, good night,” she simply replied. Anna sat on her bed, thinking about it after Ryan had left.
She wondered whether Ada truly loved Wayne if she worked with Richard and how much time and effort had she put into getting Richard president of the group.
Anna was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn‘t even notice Wayne entering the room.
Then Anna came back to her senses after hearing him gently close the door. She froze, turned around and saw Wayne standing in front of her.
He was wearing the floral shirt and beige slacks they had just bought, and his hair was still wet. He‘d used Anna‘s new shower gel, making him smell like the best jasmine in her parder
*Anna, I can‘t find a hair dryer,” he said.
Anna paused for a moment before responding. “Ah! It‘s on my nightstand. Wait a mingte, I‘ll go get it for you.”
“No, I‘ll gp got it myself” Wayne en proceeded to the bedside table.
Anna meile the rich cent of jasmine flowers in the breeze as he walked past her, After that, she froze and didn‘t come back to her senses for quite some time
Anna thought, Wayne, are you to all here to get the hair dryer Hult, the case
why did you shut the door?
“Wayne, it‘s up there inside the top drawer.” Anna reminded him.
Wayne sat on the bedside and opened the drawer. Instead of taking out the hair dryer, he stared at the drawer for a while.
Anna approached him, perplexed, and asked, “It‘s not there? Oh, that can‘t be right! Let me have a look.”
The drawer was illuminated by the bedside lamp.
Anna noticed an unpacked blue box inside when she walked over to the bed. Then, she came to a halt, and her entire face flushed.
She realized that it was a box of condoms.
Then she shouted secretly in her heart, Damn! I should‘ve got rid of them a long time ago! This is so damn embarrassing!
Wayne raised his head and asked calmly, “Is this the box of condoms we had used earlier?”
Anna looked at him awkwardly, and then asked coldly, “Huh? What exactly do you mean? Do you think I‘ll use it again after I break up with you?”
Wayne replied, looking less perplexed, “No, that‘s not what I meant. I was just thinking that we used to use the entire box whenever we had sex. If this box of condoms were the one we had used before, it should‘ve been empty.”
In a panic, Anna scrambled to get the hair dryer out of the drawer and said incoherently, “OK, shut... shut up! Just take it and get out!”
She had no idea that the more nervous she became, the more likely she was to make a mistake. The wire tugged on the condom box and ripped it out of the drawer with a “pop” sound as she reached for the hair dryer.
Then she peeked at Wayne. When she saw his handsome face, she somehow thought of the scene in which they French kissed passionately for ten minutes.
All of a sudden, she felt as if ants were crawling on her heart, itching her.
She thought, Wayne, you‘re such a jerk! How the hell did you keep your cool after kissing me for so long? And why the hell are you so calm when you saw those stupid condoms? We‘ve already broken up with each other! You‘re supposed to be embarrassed, okay?!
In comparison to Anna, who felt awkward, Wayne was extremely calm. He knelt to pick up the condom box and handed it to Anna. Then he extended another hand to her,
Anna immediately took a step back and asked, “Huh? What do you want?” Wayne looked at her calmly and said, “Please give me the hair dryer.”
Anna was at a loss for words, and she handed him the hair dryer. Meanwhile, she felt as if she couldn‘t breathe.
