Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

163 This Is A Big Deal
“I see, so that‘s why you‘re angry. Tell me, what did Charlotte say to you?” Wayne looked at her with a complicated expression.
When he couldn‘t find Anna last night, he thought that maybe she knew something about what
happened between Charlotte and him. After all, he had only learned a few days ago that the
president of SG England was Charlotte. At that point, Charlotte had been staying in the hotel for several days.
Anna smiled mockingly and replied, “Oh, don‘t you worry. She didn‘t say anything to me. Plus, I don‘t think she even wanted to ta
lk to me. After all, you‘ve known each other since you were kids. She‘s your real fiancée, and the love of your life. She can prove
everything just by standing next to you. You‘re a cute couple and a match made in heaven, am I right?”
Wayne interrupted her and said unhappily, “Anna, do you know what you‘re talking about? Stop saying that.”
“No, I don‘t” Anna turned her face to the side, deliberately not looking at him.
“Stop it. If you want to know what really happened between us, then let‘s go to your office and I‘ll
tell you all about it. You know, I don‘t like it when women are unreasonable. And, I don‘t think you’re a unreasonable woman.”
Anna clenched her fists hard after hearing his words. She thought about it all night
and eventually tried to pretend that she didn‘t care. But, when she saw Wayne, she knew she couldn‘t pretend anymore.
She had completely lost her mind and turned into an irrational jealous woman. But
even though she knew she acted like that, it didn‘t mean that Wayne could say that to her face. So, Anna was heartbroken.
She quickly got into the elevator and said, “Oh, forget it. I‘m not in the mood for that. Let‘s talk about this later.”
Well, I need to be alone and have a little time to think about it anyway. Anna thought.
Ryan had already packed up his luggage. When he saw Anna, he began to tell her about his overall plan. However, Anna had be
en distracted and didn‘t seem to be listening to him at all.
“You look a little haggard. What‘s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Ryan asked, frowning at her with concern.
Anna snapped back and tried to change the
subject, saying, “Oh, I‘m fine. When will your plane take off? I’ll drop you off at the airport.”

“You don‘t need to do that, Anna. The plane leaves at three in the afternoon. You‘re supposed to be at work then, so you might n
ot make it.”
Anna smiled and said, “Oh, I can do that. I‘ll just take a short leave.”
After leaving Ryan‘s room, Anna went straight back to her office. As she walked down the hallway, she encountered many emplo
yees who came to work.
When they saw her, they all said hello to her. However, Anna always felt that there was
something strange about the way they looked at her.
Only when she opened the door to her office did she understand why. She realized that instead of leaving, Wayne was sitting in
her office.
“Oh, hi. What are you doing here?” Anna froze as she touched the doorknob.
“Anna, I need to talk to you about what happened last night. You can leave the door open if you want everyone
outside to hear our conversation.”
Anna froze and then immediately glanced behind her. The offices on this floor were all extremely quiet, and people passing
by seemed to be trying to eavesdrop them.
She frowned, closed the door and asked, “What do you want to tell me?”
“About Charlotte. I swear I didn‘t know that she was the president of SG Group until yesterday” Wayne said directly..
Anna stopped frowning, but still remain silent.
Wayne then said, “You‘re mad at me for not telling you about what happened between Charlotte and me, aren‘t you? Well, I‘ll tell
you everything now, since it‘s not a secret. Charlotte and I are just close friends. My father was very fond of her when he was aliv
e, so he got us engaged. Then, my father passed away, and she married someone else. So, our engagement was called off.”
His side of the story was not far from what Karl had said, but Anna still felt upset.

“I don‘t like to be misunderstood. So, I think I have to explain this to you before I leave.” Anna immediately looked up and asked,
“What? Where are you going?”
“Ah, to London. I‘m going to deal with a real estate project, and I may be gone for a while.” Wayne said, and his low voice echoe
d in the office.
Anna was still jealous. But just as she heard he was leaving, she was immediately shocked. The whole sudden separation from
him thing overwhelmed her.
“Well, do you want to ask me about anything else?” Wayne asked.
Anna looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head.
I already knew what was going on. But, I still minded their relationship. I didn’t know if Wayne would ever get back to her, but I co
uldn‘t control that. Besides, I couldn‘t get it out of my mind right away. Anna thought to herself.
As his gaze became hard to read, Wayne
took two steps closer to her and said, “Anna, my flight leaves at 2:00 pm. Also, I hope that you can tell me about your past when
I come back. You can ask me about my history, and then I want to know yours too.”
He had looked into Anna‘s profile when he first met her. However, he found almost nothing. He knew that Anna‘s
profile seemed to have been revised during her years abroad.
Gabe searched what she had gone through abroad for a long time, but couldn‘t find anything. Wayne didn‘t even try to hide his p
ast from Anna. However, he found out that Anna‘s years abroad seemed to be a bigger secret.
After Wayne left, Anna sat alone in her office chair, lost in thought.
She felt as if the experiences of the past few months had been a dream she had had. Everything had happened so quickly, and tim
tell him that she was that surrogate.
Just when she thought Wayne was in love with her, Charlotte came along. Charlotte
made her realize that Wayne was not only tender to her. So Anna could no longer confidently say that Wayne loved only her.
Just as she was thinking about it, her phone rang.

She heard Peace say seriously, “Anna, Karl had just told me something. Get ready for that, will you?”
“Don‘t worry, go ahead.”
“Charlotte‘s family seems to be preparing to meet Wayne‘s grandfather recently. They‘re planning to renegotiate her marriage to W
“Is that so? Ah, it‘s okay. It‘s not a big deal,” Anna breathed a sigh of relief and didn‘t take the matter seriously
She knew that Peter couldn‘t make decisions for Wayne about his marriage. Only Wayne could decide if he wanted to get married
Peace immediately shouted, “Dear God! How could you be calm? Anna, I think you have to do something about that. You‘d better
for some money now. Karl
said that the Wilsons are planning to put up a lot of money and property as Charlotte‘s dowry. They‘ve got the shares, the stores a
go. You know, they spent all that money just to get Charlotte married to Wayne.”
Anna laughed aloud and said, “Why do they need to spend money when they marry their daughter off? That‘s ridiculous.”
Peace was shocked, saying, “Maybe they think that it will be a reciprocal investment.”
“Peace, you just advised me to break up with him last night. You said a man like him wasn‘t worth me paying for him and keeping
“But, I don‘t think Wayne made any mistake! The only thing he did wrong was not telling you about it in advance. And I think that e
