Chapter 31 A Shameless Woman
At first, Anna thought that Wayne refused to play because he didn’t want to trouble her, so she kept telling him that it was alright. After pushing the swing for a few rounds, she finally sensed the anger and reluctance in his tone.
He said, “Anna Gabriel. Stop it. Now.” She quickly let go of the rope, “What…What’s wrong?”
Wayne stepped on the ground and controlled the swinging ropes, his expensive leather shoes leaving two “skid marks” on the ground.
He turned around and glared at Anna, said word by word, “Did I say I want to swing?
“Didn’t you just think it was not safe? You should try it for Matthew.” Anna still hadn’t realized what a wrong thing she had done and said naturally, “Besides, staying with a child means playing the things they like. Haven’t you played with Matthew before?”
“And that’s the reason why you think I should swing right here right now?” He stared at Anna with annoyance in his eyes.
Anna looked at Wayne up and down in confusion. Then the smile on her face froze.
His suit was certainly incompatible with the colorful swing. Besides, she was busy thinking about comforting him and totally forgot how cold and scary he usually looked.
And she just put the cold scary CEO on a children’s toy…
“Well, ahem… I suddenly remember that I’m in a hurry. I need to go to work. I…I must go now.” Anna pretended to look at her watch and took a few steps back, quickly running away.
As Anna ran out of his sight, the anger on Wayne’s face gradually faded. It seemed that his face was lit up and there was a glimmer of amusement in his eyes when he put his fingers on the ropes after making sure there was no one around.
Anna didn’t stop running until she stepped out of the gate. Then she stood there to catch her breath with her hands on her chest, embarrassed and frightened. She thought,“ That was close. If I stayed there for a few more minutes, I would be killed by Wayne Wright’s sharp eyes.”
“Ms. Gabriel, did you come outside alone?”
Anna raised her head and saw that Ada Xavier who just walked out of Wayne Wright’s MPV was giving her a hostile stare with arms folded.
Frowning, she thought of the aggressive words that Ada said to Tammy, which had aroused antagonism in her body, so she only nodded and snorted drily. Then she waved her hand by the street to get a taxi.
“I suppose you must know that I’m going to marry Wayne, do you?” It seemed that Ada didn’t want to let her go so easily.
Anna could only turn around and answered, “The rumor is all over the company. It’s impossible that I don’t know about it.”
“That’s great.” Ada stroked her hair and raised her chin loftily, “Though we haven’t made an official announcement, we will hold a press conference soon. Our marriage will be a sensational news in our whole country. If anyone still holds the delusion that she could do something to our relationship in this period of time, she should be prepared to get spat on by millions of people. Don’t forget that old saying, ‘Many go out for wool and come home shorn
“Mr. Xavier, I think you have worried too much.” Anna pretended that she didn’t understand what Ada said in order to evade a conflict, “I don’t quite understand what you said.”
However, Ada wouldn’t play along and directly said in a cold tone, “I meant I wanted you to stay away from Wayne.”
Ada had known Wayne for over six years. She had never seen him care about any woman. Once she thought that this could her advantage. Since he wasn’t interested in women, all she had to do was to occupy the position of “Mrs. Wright” so that she could obtain everything she wanted. Besides, she didn’t even need to worry that he would like another woman. But this woman in front of her managed to make Wayne willing to solve her daughter’s education problem in person. This was too weird.
“Do you think that every woman around Mr. Wright would like to seduce him so that they can get his money?”
“Yes. A shameless woman who achieves her goal by seducing rich men.” Ada twitched her mouth and sneered at Anna, “I’m warning you now. Don’t cast your greedy eyes on the man and the things that don’t belong to you. Otherwise, you need to be careful about your daughter.”
“I got held up.” Wayne looked at her perfunctorily and then looked at Anna, who was standing behind Ada. He asked, “I have some work to do at the hotel. Are you going with me?”
. Ada had already warned her. If she didn’t keep a distance from Wayne Wright now, Ada would take her action as a deliberate provocation. She didn’t want to make any trouble, so she shook her head quickly, “No, I’ll take a taxi.”
Wayne didn’t insist. He got into the car with Ada and went to the hotel.
