277 Being Ridiculed
Ryan was so shocked that he almost couldn't a single word.
When he noticed Anna's suspicious expression, he could only nod and say, "Oh, yes, it's my mother.”
Meanwhile, he thought, But /’m actually referring to YOU, Anna. Why can't you see it?
"Oh, the dreaded Oedipus complex. You know, a lot of girls do mind their boyfriends have that complex. I'm going to the office now, bye.” Anna said as she reached for her bag.
"Let me walk you," Ryan said as he stood up.
Anna waved her hand, and then pointed to the kitchen and said, "Oh, no, you don't have to do that. Emily's gone to get your pizza, hasn't she? You should wait here for her. Don't worry, | can walk out on my own.”
Anna then picked up her bag and walked out of the cafe.
Emily came back after a while. As she placed the steaming pizza on the table, the iron tray clattered against the table.
Emily asked, "Where's your sister?"
Ryan said, "You scared the hell out of me! Can you not be so rude?”
Emily's smile vanished as soon as Ryan said those words. She gave him a vicious glare before saying, "If you don't want to eat it, then don’t! | can bring it home and feed it to my dog!"
"Oh my goodness! You're so rude! It's no surprise you've never had a boyfriend!”
"Don't worry, you're the very last man I'll ever marry!”
Hearing that, Ryan froze, and then he remembered what Anna had just said to him. Then, he smiled and lowered his head.
Bewildered, Emily asked, "What are you laughing at?” Ryan kept his head down and ate his pizza without saying anything. However, he didn't notice that Emily flushed when she looked at him.
This allowed Emily to get a good look at him.
She thought, Ayan, Damn! How could you be so good-looking? You're far more attractive than those boys in my class.

When Anna returned to the office, she went straight to Andrew and asked, "How is this order going?”
"Don't worry, I've asked the factory to do it. The Joan Group has given us a month to finish all of the clothes, which | believe is a very short period of time. I'm concerned that if it's rushed like that, the clothes will be subpar. As a result, we must let employees stay in the factory on a daily basis and keep an eye on them.”
"So, do we have to send someone who is very knowledgeable about clothes?” Anna inquired.
"Yes, we can only send designers to keep an eye on them,” Andrew nodded.
Anna became concerned and said, "So, are you able to go there? You must be preoccupied with the design competition these days, right?”
Andrew had signed Lemon's design team up for a national clothing competition to make them more famous. So, Andrew and the rest of the team had been working on new designs for a few days.
Andrew stated confidently and calmly, "Don't worry, the competition is simple. Besides, we don't need people to work in the factory twenty- four seven. We simply have to go there every day.”
Anna realized Andrew might have already planned this, and she said, "Well, then. I'll let you handle this.”
Andrew nodded and walked away. He planned to work out a shift schedule so the designers could work better in the factory.
Anna regarded Andrew as the most hard-working and meticulous employee in the company and admired him for it.
