Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 33

33 Just You Wait

Gabe immediately stopped talking under Wayne’s dark gaze, fastening his seatbelt silently and starting the car.

It was not difficult for Gabe to figure it out. Anna Gabriel has a bet with boss. If she can‘t achieve the KPL in three months, she has to leave the hotel. All the interviewers present that day were the witnesses of the bet. Although Anna has gained great performance since she started working here, it is still far away from the target she promised. After two months passing and staying in hotel for a while, she doesn‘t have much time left. It seems that she won‘t be able to reach her goal. Then boss lets her take charge of the anniversary, which means that she will have two more months and she can take credit for the achievements of the anniversary.

But the thing that Gabe couldn’t figure out was why his boss paid so much attention to Anna Gabriel. Is it only because she saved his son?

“Boss, didn’t you say you were satisfied with the driver’s skills? Why did you suddenly want to fire him?”

“He talks too much.”

Gabe didn’t dare to ask more and started feeling worried because he talked too much too.

Out of Anna’s expectation, after she took over the task of planning the anniversary, her superior, Manager Kaley Williams, turned most of her job in the hotel lobby over to others so that she could fully concentrate on the plan.

“Anna, none of the people in the planning department met Mr. Wright’s standard, but you did. He was impressed by your capability. You have to work hard and do a great job. This is also an honor for our hotel.”

Kaley Williams didn’t teach her much in normal times, but she seemed to sit up and notice her after the meeting, which made Anna feel flattered.

She said, “I’ll try my best.” Hence, she was running around here and there for the next whole week.

She had never planned an anniversary before, so she decided to see how other companies or shopping malls planned their celebration events to get a sense of what she could do.

“Miss, anything I can do for you?”

Anna turned around and saw an attendant of the shopping mall looking at her politely but alertly.

Anna had taken a lot of photos with her phone. The attendant must think that she was a competitor or an officer from the government. She soon put away her phone and answered calmly, “Nothing. I’m just looking around. Where are the jewelry stores in the shopping mall?”

The attendant hesitated and pointed to a direction, “There.”

Anna thanked her and directly went towards the jewelry stores, ignoring the attendant’s doubtful gaze.

She knew people would pay attention to her if she took too many photos, so she got prepared.

In a jewelry store, the manager wearing a pair of gloves took a necklace that Anna gave to her. The necklace had a silver Singapore chain with a clear emerald dangling from it. The emerald was surrounded by a cluster of diamonds, dazzling.

“This is one of our products.” “Really?” Anna tried to restrain her excitement, “Was it sold in this store?”

“The Singapore chain is one of our classic styles. And here,” the manager pointed at the clasp of the silver chain, “there is a logo of our brand carved at this place, just like every other piece of jewelry in our store, though the logo is quite small and inconspicuous.”

Anna asked happily, “Can you find out who the customer was?” “It must be a long time ago. It’ll take some efforts to find out. I’ll try my best.” Anna kept thanking her.

“It’s really you. I thought it was my illusion.” The woman sneered at her and folded her arms. She said sarcastically, “You haven’t been back for five years and never contacted us. We thought you died somewhere.”
