Chapter 184: Chapter 185

“Matthew is your brother.”

The dim streetlight shone on Anna as she cried aloud while holding Tammy tightly.

Three days later, Anna went to the HR office again to turn in her resignation letter.

The employee looked at Anna in surprise and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Gabriel. But we can’t let you resign. As you know, you are now suspended from work. So, you have to wait for the hotel...”

“I’ll sue the company if they won’t let me go.”

Anna simply cut her off. The employee couldn’t help but be frightened by Anna’s expressionless face.

“No matter what you will say, this is my resignation letter. Since I have given it to you, I am resigning, whether you allow it or not.”

As soon as she finished, Anna walked out of the room without saying a word.

The employee could do nothing but stare blankly at her back.

“Anna, Is this the end? You really don’t want to work here anymore?” Peace asked Anna after she got into the car.

Anna buckled her seat belt and raised her eyebrows. She replied, “I sent out my resume to a few companies last night, and I already have two interviews for next week. Let’s go, Peace. Oh, you know what we should do? We should celebrate it! I will be free for a whole month before I get my next job. So, I can have dinner and hang out with you these days.”

Peace asked with concern, “Really? Are you sure you can find a new job that quickly? Anna, don’t get me wrong, but you just quit without Wayne’s approval. So, I’m worried that other companies won’t dare to hire you.”

“Don’t worry, honey. It’s not like he owns all the hotels in Birmingham. Even if I can’t get a job, I can still make a living. Anyway, I’ve got it all figured out.”

Peace slowed the car down a bit and asked, “Oh? Anna, what are you going to do?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t tell you right now. But I’ll let you know when I’m ready.”

Peace smiled and looked relieved. She said, “Really? Oh, that’s great! So, you have a plan for your future. If I had known, I wouldn’t have felt worried about you.”

But, in fact, Anna was from a wealthy family. So, it didn’t matter if she had a job or not. All she had to do was get her father to give her money. Besides, since she had made up with her relatives on her mother’s side, they would also support her. So, she could definitely still live carefreely in this city.

A tense meeting was taking place at the Carousel Group’s headquarter while Anna and Peace were out shopping. When the fire first broke out, it hadn’t affected the company much because the PR department had dealt with it promptly.

However, because it happened due to the company’s negligence in safety, this accident drew the government’s attention. As if it wasn’t bad enough, their opponents were slandering them. Therefore, all of the Carousel Group hotels were temporarily closed, and the outlook was bleak.

“What is that what you’ve got? Is that the loolprool solution you’ve made7′′

In a severe and stern tone, Wayne questioned everyone in the meeting room, which shocked and terrified everyone.

Wayne then continued, “if you continue to work like this, you might as well just retire right now!”

Thury, Wayne sarmed the folder on the table heavily. The papers in the folder fell out and floated all over the table as he did “That planı vucks. Make a new one and bring it to me as soon as possible. No one is allowed to let your guard down now. This is a critical time, so all of you must be alert. If anyone drops the ball, then get the hell out of the company. All right, you can go now.”

Wayne said impatiently. Everyone then left the room with their folders in their hands and sighed with relief. All of them appeared worn out and exhausted.

“What’s wrong with Mr. Wright lately? He seems so irritable.”

“Oh, maybe it’s because so many things have happened lately. A fire in the hotel a few days ago made them suffer a great loss, and the follow up measures were not well done. I heard that his son almost died because of the fire. So, of course, he’s angry.”

“What? I thought he was getting married!”

An employee who knew what was going on said, “Getting married? It’s not gonna happening! It seems that Anna’s dream of marrying a rich man is shattered. Mr. Wright values his son so much, and Anna puts that boy in danger. So, the two of them will definitely not get married. Also, they probably won’t even want to pretend to be okay. Actually, I heard that Anna was fired.”

“Huh? Is he that cruel?”

“Mr. Wright has always been a cruel man!”

“Yeah! Did you see the way he just scolded... Ahem, Mr. Xavier, hello.”

Before they could finish, they saw Karl walking toward them. Then, they were both taken aback.

Karl yawned as if he didn’t hear any of their conversation and said, “Good morning, you two. I got up really late this morning. I thought I’d make it to the meeting, but I didn’t.”

One of the managers smiled awkwardly and said, “Oh, you should feel glad that you missed it. Otherwise, you might have been yelled at by Wayne.”

“What? He yelled at you again?”

“Yes!” The manager was about to continue when the man standing next to him elbowed him He suddenly realized he was on the verge of saying something inappropriate. After that, he said clumsily. “Mr.Xavier, sorry, but we have to go now. Look, we‘ve got loads of work to do!”

Karl raised his eyebrows and nodded, then made his way to the conference room.

Karl found Wayne sitting alone in the conference room. The projector was left on, so the screen behind Wayne was glowing in blue light. The room was a little dim, and the faint blue light on Wayne made him seem solitary and aloof.

Gabe met Karl’s eyes when he saw him, and then silently walked out. After that, Wayne and Karl were left alone in the conference room.

“What’s wrong with you lately?” Karl asked mockingly as he felt the conference room was too quiet.

Wayne lifted his head, gave him an impatient look, and said, “It seems like you have a lot of time on your hands. You’re ready to propos- to her?”

“Oh, it’s not about me, but you. I’ve planned out what I’m going to do, so I’m clear about that. But what’s wrong with you? In the past. you were always the cales no matter what happened. Honestly, the fire doesn’t seem to be a big deal to me. So, why are you ang love you panieking”

Wayne trowd but didn’t deny it.

“I vermehrte, you‘ve been scolding the hell out of those managers in literally every meeting. Don’t tell me you did this because they vuck at their work, and they deserve it.”

Karl pulled up a chair, sat down casually and asked, “You have never acted like this before. And you’ve never been in love before, so I was taken aback when I found out you liked Anna But you had never lost control over her. So, what happened? What’s wrong?”

Wayne thought Karl was just going to say something about how much time and effort he put on Anna. However, he didn’t expect Kari to hit the nail on the head and ask more detailed and specific questions, After being sitent for a long time, Wayne suddenly spoke.

“Maybe she’s not the one for me,” he said, sounding unsure of himself. He sounded as if he had hesitated for a lone time and finally made an answer.

Wayne had always been a determined man. So, he rarely said ambiguous words like “maybe” or “possibly” in his life. He was a man of clear boundaries and could not tolerate gray areas.

As a result, even those closest to him were unable to comprehend what he was thinking.

So when Karl heard these words, he’s got mixed feelings. After a while, Karl finally couldn’t hold back. He slapped the table heavily and said out loud, “F**k, Wayne! You’ve never hesitated, let alone intertwine a single thing in the past almost thirty years! When I pissed you off, you would ignore me no matter what I said. I got it, only Anna can make you hesitate!”
