The city appeared cozy as the evening lights shone throughout it. Joshua hurriedly took the elevator to Wayneâs office and dashed there. Wayne had just called Joshua and told him he needed him to return to the office immediately.
He was doubtful why Wayne had asked him to his office in the middle of the night. He walked into the office and saw Wayne looking downeast.
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked.
Wayne asked coldly, âHowâs the Albert Pharmaceutical lawsuit going?â
Joshua found his question strange. He paused for a moment before replying, âThis company was bought out by another company three months ago. So, the debt was transferred to another company. When the lawsuit was handed over, you met with their president and convinced them to settle out of court on the terms of a suburban warehouse. So that relationship was crossed off the list.â
Wayne frowned and asked, âWhat? Why do you make it seem so simple? Is it true that I signed a contract with them?â
Joshua said calmly, âThatâs what the business department should take care of, so Iâm not sure about that.â
âIm telling you, | didnât sign that damn contract! | donât need that warehouse at all, and | was just being polite when | said that. We still have to sue them.â Wayne glared angrily at Joshua.
âOK, then Iâl start preparing tomorrow,â Joshua frowned. 418 Whoâs that Man?
âNo, you better start doing that today,â Wayne interrupted him.
The atmosphere became strange. Wayne had always been unpredictable, but Joshua saw nothing wrong with that. He wasnât a businessman, so he had no idea what one should be like. He was just a lawyer, and he only cared about doing his job right.
Then he just said, âOK, Iâll go get ready now. By the way, thank you for helping me Nancy to be with me. Though she still refuses to see me, | think that weâre making some progress.â
âJust leave, would you? Iâm not in the mood to talk about it with you?â Wayne said, waving his hand to Joshua impatiently.
The moment Joshua was about to turn around and leave, he saw that Wayne was wearing bright yellow clothes under the table, and then he stopped. He held back his laughter after confirming that he was not mistaken.
âDonât worry, Iâll make sure this gets fixed,â he said.
Wayne slapped the desk hard after Joshua left. Noel had been hiding out in the cubicle the whole time. He ran over as soon as he heard the noise, clutching a headgear. He was still wearing his Pikachu custom pants because they were difficult to remove, making him look hilarious.
Wayne became even angrier and asked, âWhy are you still dressed like this? This is a terrible idea! Anna wasnât even paying attention to me tonight!â
Noel explained, âIt was a total accident! | didnât expect that she would just turn around and walk away like that after she got out of the supermarket! | thought she would at least spare a glance at us...â
âShut up!â
Noel immediately covered his mouth. He noticed that Wayne looked upset, and he asked, âMr. Wright, do you feel hot? Do you want me to get 418 Whoâs that Man? you another pant?â
Wayne roared, âNo! Urgh! | knew this is a terrible idea from the very start. How is it possible that Anna would like this kind of childish stuff? Itâs not like sheâs still twelve years old! Gosh! | shouldnât have listened to your stupid idea and danced in the square in this stupid costume!â
âBut this is the best plan that the employees of our company have come up with. Normally, women will be deeply touched when seeing their beloved ones sending them roses when fireworks bloom in the night sky at the same time. Itâs just so happened that Ms. Gabriel...â Noel quickly explained.
âShut up! It didnât work out and thatâs it! Stop making excuses!â Wayne interrupted him ruthlessly.
Hearing that, Noel said, âSorry, sirâ. After that, Wayne stood up, looking at the yellow Pikachu costume pants on him and frowning After a while, Noel assured Wayne by saying, âNo worries, we still have a backup plan! Next time, we should do it at the hospital where Anna works. And we just use the traditional way other than the unusual way. What do you think, Mr. Wright?â
âThatâs more like it,â Wayne nodded:**
The next day at noon, Wayne and Noel arrived at the hospitalâs parking lot Noel said to Wayne firmly, âDonât worry. Itâs not a problem. Ms. Gabriel will be moved if you give her the things you used to have when you were dating. That way, you can get back together with her. What have you prepared? Could you please let me see it first? If you take the wrong thing, our plan will fail again.â
Wayne then handed him the box he had been preparing for a long, time. It was a black velvet box that looked like it contained a necklace. 418 Whoâs that Man? After opening it, Noel was stunned and exclaimed, âOh my God! What are these?â
There was a row of ten rings of various styles in there. In the light of the underground garage, the rings glowed brightly.
Wayne explained, âI proposed to her with these rings back then. | had no idea what style she preferred, so | made her ten different rings in different styles.â
Speaking of the past, Wayne felt like he was torn between emotions. He thought, /fit werenât for those messy things we had in the past, Anna and | would have been married. And Tammy would have grown up alongside me so that I could see her grow up.
Noel took a deep breath and carefully handed over the jewelry box to Wayne. He figured that it was necessary that heâd asked Gable who Anna was. As far as he knew, Wayne was not the type of person who would go all his way out for love.
After getting out of the car, Wayne went straight to the hospitalâs front door. Because he was very attractive, he drew a lot of attention. It was noon, and there was almost no one in the testing department. Wayne spotted Anna as he walked out of the elevator.
He smiled and then walked quickly toward her. However, he stopped as he saw Anna taking a lunch box from a man. He was too far away from them to hear what they were saying. Also, the man was standing with his back to Wayne, so Wayne couldnât see his face. Still, he could see Anna smiling brightly.
It was the first time he had seen Anna smile so happily in five years. Wayne clutched the jewelry box in his hand, wanting to approach her and ask what was happening. But then he realized he wasnât in the position to question her about anything, He paused for a moment longer before 418 Whoâs that Man? walking away.
âJoshua, why did you come by yourself?â Anna asked, staring at the thermos box in her hand.
âMy mother was supposed to come here, but sheâs a little busy today. Besides, | think | should talk to Nancy in person now.â
âThen, why donât you bring it over to her yourself?â
âIâm afraid she wouldnât eat anything | gave her. Anyway, Iâll talk to her after sheâs finished eating,â
âIs it possible that | wonât need to cover for you from now on?â Anna laughed.
âMaybe, maybe not,â Joshua said, laughing.
