Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 421

421 Are You Jealous?

Wayne sat in his office, furious, and threw the papers on his desk to the floor. He hadn't worked in days because he had been thinking about Anna. When he returned, he reviewed the work his employees had done and found it unsatisfactory.

A few managers stood in line outside Wayne's office, waiting for him to scold them for their lame work. When one of the managers walked out of the office, everyone stopped him and asked him what had happened. He shook his head, knowing there was nothing he could say to them.

The crowd looked at each other and sighed. Then they started talking to each other in a low voice, for fear that Wayne would hear their conversation.

"Mr. Wright is quite moody these days! I'm so stressed out that | can't sleep at night.”

"Right! | noticed he was in a good mood the other day, so | handed him the proposal | had just written. But he quickly became grumpy again.”

In his office, Wayne criticized all the managers and drove them away. After that, Noel poured him a cup of coffee. Wayne looked at his watch and asked, "Did you find out who that man is; the one who sent a lunchbox to Anna in the hospital the other day?”

"Well, | checked it out and contacted him. It's rush hour now, and he's probably stuck in traffic," Noel said hesitantly. After seeing Wayne's gloomy expression, Noel didn't dare to say anything else.

An hour later, the man arrived at the door to Wayne's office. As Noel 420 Are You Jealous? saw him, his eyes were filled with sympathy and pity. Noel gently reminded the man, "If Mr. Wright loses his cool later, please don’t take it personally. He's in a bad mood today because of some relationship issues."

"Thank you," The man said, nodding to Noel politely. He acted like he didn't even understand what Noel was saying. And he walked calmly into Wayne's office as if he didn't care about anything.

"Hello, Mr. Wright," The man greeted Wayne.

As soon as he heard his greeting, Wayne, who was previously occupied with his work, looked up. The moment he saw the man, he was so shocked that he exclaimed with his mouth wide open, "What the hell, Joshua?! What are you doing here?”

“You asked to see me in person, Mr. Wright. Have you forgotten that?” Joshua asked in confusion.

"Well, mmm... Noel, a word,” Wayne stared daggers at Noel, who was standing not far away, motioning him to come near him.

“What is Joshua doing here? Didn’t | ask you to find the guy who brought lunch to Anna the other day? Is this some kind of a sick joke? If you mess it up next time, I'l fire you!” Wayne whispered to Noel.

Leaning toward Wayne, Noel answered in embarrassment, “But Mr. Wright, I didn’t mess it up. It was indeed Mr.

Davis who brought lunch to Ms. Gabriel in the hospital that day. | triple-checked the surveillance cameras. It can’t be wrong.”

“What the... Fine! Just leave us alone now. Ineed to talk to Joshua alone.”

“Okay. I'l leave you two alone then.”

After Noel closed the door, Wayne regained his composure and coughed in a somewhat awkward way. Then he said in a serious tone, “You haven't had a lot of work lately, have you? It's three o'clock in the 420 Are You Jealous? afternoon, and you're running late. Were you out looking for files?”

With a smile, Joshua answered, "Mr. Wright, you asked me to prepare that lawsuit last night, and | worked all night on it. To be honest, | don't believe the case is particularly difficult. | simply went out to get some materials.”

"Were you just finding materials?"
