Chapter 71 Sell the Dummy Chapter 71 Sell the Dummy
“You‘ve arranged a place for us?” Anna was stunned and asked, “Where will we live? Carousel Hotel?”
She thought that it would be good if she could live in the Carousel Hotel so that she didn‘t need to commute to work.
“Perish the thought,” Wayne said directly. “There‘s no vacant room in the hotel now.”
“No vacant room? But when I checked the occupancy before...”
“Get into the car.” Before Anna could finish her words, Wayne interrupted her, urged her to get into the car, and asked the driver to drive.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the Kingsford Neighborhood.
Looking at the villa in front of her, Anna thought speechlessly, Oh, God. After staying at home for a day, we came back to Kingsford Neighborhood again...
Then she asked Wayne, “Mr. Wright, is this the place that you arranged for me to stay in?”
“Yes.”
Before Anna could say anything else, the maids had already carried her suitcases into the villa quickly.
“I don‘t think it‘s appropriate for us to live here,” Anna said in embarrassment.
Wayne looked at her and said, “There are enough rooms in the villa for you. The driver will send Tammy to the kindergarten and pick her up after school. And this place is not far from Carousel Hotel. It‘s convenient for you to go to work from here. It‘s appropriate for you to live here.”
After a pause, he added, “l.won‘t let you live here for free. Matthew only likes the food that you cook so you‘ll have to cook the breakfast and dinner on weekdays and all meals on weekends.”
Hearing that, Anna couldn‘t find any reason to refuse him.
It is fair and reasonable that I cook in exchange of accommodation nodded.
, Anna thought and
“OK. Then we‘ll live here for the time being. Thank you, Mr. Wright,” she said. Wayne nodded expressionlessly. “Let‘s go inside.”
The maid then led Anna to the room next to the master bedroom.
Anna had lived there before. In her impression, it was just an ordinary guest bedroom before.
But when the door was opened, she surprisedly found that it had changed a lot. There were more decorations in the room, and the dresser was filled with all kinds of expensive cosmetics
What surprised Anna most was that there was a stuffed toy husky at the head of the bed.
“Is this for Tammy? Thank you,” Anna said.
The maid said respectfully, “Miss Tammy will live in another room. Mr. Wright said that you

Chapter 71 Sell the Dummy might work overtime and come back late and it was inconvenient for you to live in the same room with Miss Tammy. This room is only for you. This toy is also prepared for you.”
Anna, who didn‘t expect that Wayne would be so considerate, was touched. She shook the toy husky in her hand and smiled, “Why did you prepare this for me? I‘m not a child anymore.”
“I thought that you may be not used to sleeping alone so I prepared it for you,” the maid, who was about twenty years old and looked very shy, answered nervously
“There are many toys in the entertainment room so I picked one randomly. Sorry. I don‘t know that you don‘t like it. I‘ll take it away right now.”
“It‘s okay.” Anna immediately said, “Don‘t be nervous. I didn‘t say I don‘t like it.” The maid breathed a sigh of relief.
After staring at the toy husk for a long time, Anna suddenly burst into laughter. “This toy husky looks so serious, just like Mr. Wight. Do you think so?”
“What?” The maid was shocked. It was the first time that she had heard someone compare Wayne to a dog. Then she stammered, “I... I don‘t know.”
Anna felt helpless when seeing the maid so nervous and stopped joking with her. She thought that it must be because Wayne was too serious that the maid was so nervous and afraid at the mention of him. She talked with the maid for a while and then learned that the maid was called Carla.
After Carla left the room. Anna walked around and looked at the furnishings in the room. Seeing the newly–changed purple curtains, she smiled and thought that Wayne had a good taste in decoration.
Scott was arranged to live in a branch of the Carousel Hotel which was located in the east of the city and far away from the city center.
When seeing Gabe talking on the phone with Wayne, Scott grabbed the phone and said to Wayne angrily, “Wayne, you cunning old fox! You asked me to leave on purpose just now, right?”
Hearing his loud voice, Wayne put the phone far away from his ear and said lightly, “No, I did not. Didn‘t you see the reporters? Don‘t you think you should leave the apartment at once in that situation?”
“Do you think I‘m a fool? Not long after the reporters arrived there, you arranged everything for me. Then after I left, you asked Anna and Tammy to live at your place. It was you who exposed my whereabouts to the reporters, right?”
Wayne raised his eyebrows and smiled.
This guy is not stupid. He saw through what I did so soon.
Wayne had never been scolded like this but he was not angry. Instead, he corrected Scott in a good mood, “She’s not an innocent girl.”
Almost everyone in the Carousel Group knew that Anna was very vigorous and effective in working and was capable of dealing with all kinds of people. Since she took office, many people didn‘t believe in her ability. But she did all her work excellently and finally gained recognition among the executives of the company. That was not what an innocent girl could achieve.
“Yes, she is not innocent!” Scott immediately said on purpose. “She is shrewd and deep. Stay away from her. Don‘t trust her and don‘t let her live in your house, or you will regret it!”
Wayne was speechless and couldn‘t help thinking. Why are Anna‘s friends all so “extraordinary“? Her best friend Peace is good at fighting bare–handed and almost beat Karl to death before. And now her younger brother who said that he was her future boyfriend is threatening me because of her. It‘s so interesting.
“Believe it or not, Matthew only likes the food cooked by her,” Wayne said lightly.
