Chapter 80 She Told Me Everything
Wayne remained calm, took a sip of coffee, and put down the cup
“Mr. Gabriel, you misunderstood me. I just speculate that you came to the celebration for the sake of Anna,” he said.
His words were tactful and Frank‘s serious expression softened.
Speaking of Anna, Frank said proudly, “Anna has been stable since she was a child. And she is conscientious and capable in work. But the working condition at home is different from that abroad. Mr. Wright, Anna has just come back from abroad for a few months. It must be because you have helped her a lot that she could do her job well.”
“No, it‘s because she‘s excellent,” Wayne said as he remembered that on the day when Anna came here for the interview, she confidently promised him that she would achieve the performance goal within two months. “I have never specially provided help for her. I just gave her necessary assistance as her boss.”
There was nothing wrong with his words, but it was not what Frank wanted to hear. With a frown, Frank took a sip of tea and didn‘t say anything.
Seeing that Frank still didn‘t come straight to the point, Wayne looked at the time and said, “Mr. Gabriel, I have to catch a plane later. I’m afraid I can only talk with you for a few minutes.”
Hearing this, Frank took a deep breath and looked him up and down. Then he said, “You should know why I came to you.”
At the engagement party of Jacob and Lilian, Wayne announced in public that Anna was his fiancee, which had been widely spread in high society.
In fact, the moment Wayne saw Frank just now, he knew the aim of Frank‘s coming. He knew that Frank came because he was concerned about his daughter and wanted to see what kind of person his future son–in–law was.
“Anna told me everything,” Frank sighed and said slowly with a sad look. “Anna lost her mother not long after she was born and didn‘t live with me when she was young. As a father, I owe her a lot. Before she went abroad, I thought about her marriage. She can marry whoever she wants in the future as long as her future husband treats her well. I hope she can live a happy life.”
Hearing this, Wayne asked curiously, “What did she tell you?” “You two are together and are going to get married, aren‘t you?” Frank asked. Wayne‘s expression froze for a second and somehow, he nodded and said, “Yes, we are.”
Frank breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, “You‘re welcome to come to my house with Anna at any time. I know you are busy, but I still hope you can come when you have free time.”
At the moment, Wayne had mixed feelings. He wanted to know why Anna told Frank that they were in a relationship and were going to get married. He couldn‘t help but wonder if Anna did so because she had a crush on him or something else.
Chapter 80 She Told Me Ever.
“If you get married to Anna, I will leave the Gabriel Group to the two of you. With you managing the Gabriel Group, I can rest assured,” Frank said,
Hearing this, Wayne was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he could understand why Frank said so
The Gabriel Group was a big company in Birmingham. A few years ago, due to health problems, Frank began to delegate power to his eldest daughter and his nephews. However, consecutive incidents occurred that year and the reputation of the group was influenced. Later, Frank had to take charge of the company again to turn the tables.
For a family business like the Gabriel Group, a capable and trustworthy manager was the most indispensable for its development. But unfortunately, there was no such person in the Gabriel family
Frank had two daughters. His elder daughter Allie was good–for–nothing and all she liked to do every day was to buy luxuries and show off her wealth at various parties. Fortunately, his younger daughter Anna had a good working ability. According to her working performance, she was competent for the future president of the Gabriel Group though she had never run a
company.
Wayne then changed the topic tactfully and began to talk about something else with Frank
Wayne paused and nodded seriously.
Gabe couldn‘t help praising her, “Miss Gabriel is awesome. I‘ve heard that since the news of the lucky draw activity was released online, the rooms of Carousel Hotel‘s branches all over the country have been fully reserved in the next few months.”
“Awesome?” Wayne glanced at Anna‘s slender figure in the distance with appreciation in his eyes. But then he pretended to disapprove of Anna and said, “She invested too much in the activity, and there are many uncertain factors and risks about it. If she didn‘t take advantage of the celebration and fan economy, she couldn‘t have been able to increase the turnover of the hotel. Moreover, her idea is not helpful for the long term development of the hotel and may have a negative impact in the future.”
“Ah? Negative impact? Then why did you ask me to call the finance department to allocate more money for the celebration?” Gabe asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished his words, he saw Wayne glare at him coldly.
