356 Thank You 356 Thank You
Jasper didn't sound cheerful. Anna wanted to make him laugh, so she teased him by saying, "! know it's you because | saw your number on the caller ID! We're at peace even though we're getting divorced." Jasper let out a laugh and said, "Yes, you're right." He was silent for a short moment before saying, "! know that Lily took you to the house you
used to live in. Please do not take this personally; she didn't mean to make you mad. She's never done anything so outrageous before." "It's all right, Jasper. She probably assumed I'd prefer to live there.
You didn't punish her, did you?"
"Well, actually, suspended her for a month."
Anna signed and said, "Dude, would you please be kinder to her? Lily has worked for you for seven years, and she deserves to be treated well."
"She brought it up herself."
Anna mumbled, "Ha! That really surprised me."
They made small talk for a while longer before hanging up the phone. Anna sighed as she sat at the edge of her bed, reflecting on what Jasper had just said.
Wayne was staring at her while she was on the phone. He then asked, "What's the problem? You feel bad about answering your ex-phone husband's call?"
Anna froze for a moment before recalling that she had just turned on
the video call. She asked, "Huh? You were listening the whole time?" 356 Thank You
Wayne nodded, looking dissatisfied. "You will divorce with Jasper in peace?" he asked, word for word.
"What else should I say? Do | need to fight with him and go to the police station with him?"
Wayne was speechless.
ja! Did you notice how picky you are with me? You've probably been sitting
Anna laughed out loud after seeing his expression and said
around too much lately. Aren't you busy at work?" "The company is having a party recently."
The Carousel Group would host an annual party at the start of each year. They would rent the top floor of the largest hotel in the entire city and bring in many stars. It was both a celebration and an advertisement, which worked well. As a result, this was likely to be the busiest time for the group. Anna was shocked that he had time to be jealous and make jokes.
To reassure him, Anna explained, "Because of Lily, | sighed. She and Jasper both graduated from Yale, and she helped him to start his businesses shortly after. She has been around him for nearly eight years. In fact, everyone knows she likes him, except for himself."
"Men are not as insensitive as you assume, Anna. He's probably pretending he doesn't see it."
Anna frowned and said, "No, you're wrong. I have a feeling Jasper is totally unaware of that because he's used to having her around. So, he doesn't even realize how important she is to him. For example, you wouldn't get attached to the cup you usually use, will you?" Wayne was silent for a moment and replied, "Ill miss it when I lose it"
Anna froze and remembered something. She suddenly realized what 356 Thank You was happening and said, "Now I know why she took a month off! Great plan, Lily!"
