Anna checked her phoneâs caller ID and confirmed it was Scott. She leaned back, yawned, and asked, âAre you insane? Your agent, your assistant, Randal and his assistant can all pick you up. Why did you ask me to pick you up?â
âIâve been recording a reality show lately, and | thought you could be a guest.â
Anna immediately sobered up and asked, âHuh? Youâre kidding, right?â
âIâm not! The other chose the theme of family. | considered it and decided to do that theme as well. Actually, | can only do it at your house because | have no other family except you.â
Anna was persuaded because he sounded pitiful. âHow long will it take to record?â she asked.
Scott immediately perked up and said cheerfully, âDonât worry, the official recording wonât take more than half a day. They will arrive a day early to set up the cameras, so it will take you a total of two days. The crew should artive at your house by tomorrow noon.â
âWhat? They will be at my house tomorrow?! Youâre really something, Scott! â Anna said in surprise, thinking, Scott, since you and Randal fell in love, you have become increasingly adept at getting sympathy, and you even do it better than Tammy.
âItâs a done deal! Iâll text you the flight details right away. Please remember to pick me up at the airport the day after tomorrow, Anna.â
Scott completely ignored her words and instead said what he wanted to 422 Be Patient _ say. He then apologized for disturbing her sleep and hung up the phone.
Anna felt resigned, but all she could do was put her phone on the nightstand and go to sleep. A few minutes later, her phone rang again. She assumed that it was a call from Scott. As she was not interested in which plane he was flying on, so she dozed off.
The next morning, a noise woke her up. At first, Anna thought it was her neighbor using a power drill, but then she realized it was right outside her bedroom door.
When Anna heard the sound of several men talking, she immediately sat up. She then took the baseball bat from the floor and carefully walked to the bedroom door, pulling it open.
the moment she opened the door, she saw a group of men at her house. Some were directing while others were climbing ladders and appeared to be a construction crew.
Meanwhile, Isabella and Tammy were standing around watching them. Isabella looked drowsy, and she couldnât sit still. She snored against the wall but stood firm.
âAnna, they say Scott is coming to record his show and is going to put cameras in the house,â Isabella said to Anna.
âOh! | see!â Anna walked out, quietly tossing the baseball bat behind her back and smoothing her hair.
Tammy, who was Scottâs number one fan, was overjoyed that he was coming to film his show. She bounced around the house like a wind-up toy rat. Then she asked excitedly, âWill Scott share a room with me? Will they install cameras in my room?â
Anna glanced at Tammy and answered for his assistant, âNo. Youâre eleven now, and youâre a big girl. You canât sleep in the same room with 422 Be Patient ail him anymore.â
Tammy immediately became upset and said, âBut thereâs no guest room in the house! Where will Scott spend the night?â
Anna explained, âScott will not be staying with us. Heâs only here to record the show and will only have dinner with us. Heâll leave after dinner.â
Instead of being comforted, Tammy appeared even more depressed. Anna sighed, feeling defeated. She had taken the afternoon off from work because Scott was coming to the house to tape the show. She rarely took time off, so her supervisor immediately granted her two days off, which was unusual.
Wayne had just finished his meeting when Noel knocked at the door and entered his office. He lowered his head and made room for the person who was standing behind him. It was Gabe.
âMr. Wright, Iâm back.â Gabe greeted Wayne respectfully.
Wayne immediately looked up when he heard Gabeâs voice.
Noel had previously messed things up. So, Wayne decided to have Gabe return from Australia immediately to avoid repeating what happened the last time.
Wayne wasnât overly enthusiastic about Gabeâs arrival and was even more indifferent toward him than usual. And that made Noel very happy.
Wayne stood up after signing the last contract on the table and said, âSend the papers on the table back to the departments, Noel. | need to talk to Gabe about something, so donât let anyone in.â
Noel froze, but all he could do was nod and walk away. He thought, 422 Be Patient â Why is he refusing to let me in? | am his chief secretary now! Why canât | take part in their conversation?
Awhile later, Gabe made two cups of floral tea on the coffee table that were bubbling with fresh vapor.
âAnna works at a hospital now, and sheâd met my grandfather,â Sitting on the sofa leisurely, Wayne said to him.
Gabe handed his iPad to Wayne and said, âWe donât need to get into that right now. Please check out todayâs Twitter trends, Mr.
Wright.â
Then Wayne saw several tweets with Scottâs name on Twitter.
âScott fans are hoping heâll be with his unrelated sister.â
âFans beg Scott to spend more time with his sister! Nobody treats Scott better than she does.â
âThis is fantastic! Theyâve been friends since they were kids.â
âAre these people insane? Why canât they see heâs gay? Do they not realize Scott is dating Randal?â Wayne was so enraged that he nearly slammed his iPad to the ground.
âThat was the trend last night, and it was too late by the time PR noticed it. So, they had to let it be.â
Wayne yelled angrily, âMake those nonsense disappear! Hurry up!â
âGot it,â Gabe said right away. He knew Wayne well enough to know that he couldnât say no at this critical moment.
âNoel is still young, and there are things he doesnât know much about,â he said, changing the subject. Wayne remained silent.
âActually, | have a tip on how to get back with ex-girlfriends.â
Wayne looked up at Gabe immediately after hearing his words and asked, âWhatâs the trick?â 422 Be Patient â
Gabe smiled meaningfully, and that made him seem funny. âItâs all about patience,â he said
