Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 293

294 Nothing Is Impossible

In the early hours of the morning, Anna heard a beeping sound.

Thinking that it was her alarm clock ringing, Anna slapped it heavily a few times but found that it was still ringing.

She glanced out the window and saw that it was still dark. And when she looked at the time, she noticed it was just 3:00 a.m.

Anna quickly realized that it was not her alarm clock ringing but her cell phone.

She had just answered the phone when she heard Andrew say in a panic, "Anna! The warehouse is on fire!"

Ina hurry, Anna asked Wayne to go to the warehouse with her.

When they arrived there, they discovered that the warehouse was still burning. There were two fire trucks spraying water to stop the fire, but they didn’t appear capable of putting out a fire like this.

Anna had just stepped out of the car when she noticed Andrew standing next to her. He seemed out of place as if he had just gone out of the burning warehouse.

Andrew said, "| left here at 8:00 p.m. last night after checking the goods. Then | asked the staff to double-check them tonight. An hour ago, someone called me and said that the warehouse was on fire. I'm not sure how the fire started, but I'm sure it isn't our fault."

Anna, who was struggling to breathe, exclaimed in frustration, "What is the point of debating who is to blame right now? You know, our deadline is ina week. | told you we needed to deliver the goods today to avoid accidents like this. But you insisted on keeping them in the warehouse. And now the warehouse is on fire! We could've avoided this incident!"

Hearing that, Andrew appeared tired and perplexed. He stood there silently, listening as Anna blamed him

Wayne said, "Enough, Anna. Calm down. The warehouse is still burning, and we have no idea what is happening. So, don't blame Andrew now. What you need to do now is figure out how to fix it.”

Anna became irritated and yelled at Wayne, "So, what do you have in mind, Mr. Know-it-all2"

She was so enraged that she stomped on the paper box next to her.

It was the first order of Lemon. Since founding the company, Anna had

discovered that she had faced numerous setbacks, but she had overcome them all.

Much to her surprise, right before they were going to deliver the order, the warehouse was on fire, making all their hard work go in vain.

And she guessed that someone must have done this on purpose.

At that moment, Mona walked over to their side. She and Wayne exchanged glances before separating Anna and Andrew so that both of them both would have enough space to calm down.

Andrew was devastated as well. He left his previous job because his boss didn't trust him and forced him to take the responsibility. Because that situation was similar to this one, he was filled with mixed feelings.

Wayne said as he pulled Anna back into the car and wrapped his, jacket around her, "Anna, take it easy. Just calm down, okay? Maybe things aren't as bad as you think.”

Anna was irritated to the core. She buried her face in her hands and sighed, "Isn't this bad enough already? This is a total disaster, Wayne! It appears that | am incapable of managing a group on my own! | would have just managed Lemon if | had known that. | shouldn't have let Andrew take care of everything. He's not the boss and can't handle everything on his, own!"

Wayne felt sorry for Anna when he saw her sad expression

He said, "Well, you have two options now. The first is to gain credibility by earning less. You can negotiate a half-month delivery extension with Joan Group. However, you must pay at least half of the liquidated damages. If that happens, you will lose money.”
