293 She's A Sophisticated Woman
Looking at Wayne's handsome side face, Anna felt somewhat secure.
"Okay," she said, "I'll be there for you no matter what decision you make."
Wayne gave her a look before straightening her scarf. He noticed that Anna had recently gained weight, making her more curvy and attractive.
He smiled mischievously, thinking, Anna, you've gained some weight. And it seems that most of the weight you gained went to your breasts.
Good. 1 like it
Meanwhile, Anna had no idea why he was smiling like that, so she asked, "Why are you smiling like that? Is it because | look good in your scarf?"
Wayne nodded but didn’t explain anything. He felt it was okay for him to lie about those small things.
"Wayne, let's go to the mall, okay?" Anna asked after noticing the LED screen in the mall playing an advertisement for skin care products.
They had arrived at the mall just a short walk away because the restaurant where Anna had her dinner was in the busiest area of downtown.
Even though Christmas was still a month away, many stores had already put up their decorations.
Wayne walked through the crowd, holding Anna's hand. Many people were dressed in business suits and appeared to have just got off work. Anna walked alongside him in the mall, saying, "Gee, I've been feeling so cold lately, so I'd like to buy a hat. But My hair will look bad as long as | wear the hat.”
Just before they walked to the skin care counter, Anna noticed children's products for sale.
Then she grabbed several items from the shelves and placed them in her cart, saying, "I think this hat is so cute, and Matthew will look great in it. Wow, | like this yellow one. Oh, let me pick out a red one for Tammy.
Wayne pushed the shopping cart and followed her, and then said, “Okay, let's get another green one then. That way, the three of us would look like traffic lights."
Anna looked at him and asked, "Really? Do you really want one of those children's hats?"
Wayne froze and then appeared upset.
"Forget it," he said.
Despite his trust in Anna's aesthetics, he didn't want to wear a hat that would make him look like an elf in a fairy tale.
At the time, Anna saw a green hat and immediately wanted to put it on Wayne's head.
Wayne, who was much taller than her, grabbed her hand and held it so she couldn't place the hat on his head.
At the same time, in the living room of a three-story villa hidden in the forest in the suburbs, a woman was smashing things angrily.
Ada sat angrily on the couch, holding an ice pack to her face. She had smacked an expensive antique Victorian vase because she was so enraged. However, she didn't seem to mind that because it was Richard's.
"Don't touch me! Stay away!" she yelled.
Richard stood next to her, keeping a distance from her. He had fingernail red marks on his face, and it seemed like he was bleeding.
He said, "Well, I won't touch you. Actually, | didn't see this coming today, either. Honey, | promise you I'l fire all my assistants tomorrow. | didn't expect that I hired a bunch of blabbers,"
Ada grumbled contemptuously, "No, you may have misunderstood them. Your stupid wife appeared just as you ordered your driver to take Anna home. Don't you realize by now who really did this? Will you stop fighting Wayne for that damn job?"
Richard frowned, and then suddenly knew what she was referring to.
He shouted, "s**t! It was Anna Gabriel!"
"Yeah! | told you Anna isn't the i***t you think she is!"
''Damnit! What a b***h!" Richard growled.
Then Ada said, "If you want to impress Peter by buying the Gabriel Group, you can't rely on pleasing Anna. She'll just get in your way, you know. So, the only way you can get the group is to make her disappear.”
“Are you saying that you want me to kill her?" Richard asked as he looked at her.
Ada snorted coldly. Then she slammed the ice pack down hard on the coffee table.
