Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

168 Blood Is Thicker Than W 168 Blood Is Thicker Than Water
Charlotte stared at the woman in front of her for a moment and immediately said, “Oh, I know you. You‘re Ada”
Of course, Charlotte knew her. There were not many women around Wayne, and Ada was the most special
one. She was a famous actress, so many people knew her.
Charlotte always thought that Ada was her real rival before she returned home, because
she knew Ada had stayed by Wayne‘s side for six years
“Yeah, right. But, I hope you didn’t misunderstand me.” Ada said calmly as if she had expected to be recognized
Charlotte frowned and
said bluntly, “Hey, what the hell are you going to say? I know you and Wayne have been dated before so. I don‘t think I should be
lieve anything you say.”
“Oh, I really wish you could say the same thing after hearing my words.”
Ada blinked, and then her eyes became mysterious and meaningful She said, “You may already know that I have been with Way
ne for more than six years. We planned to get married some time ago, and we even chose a hotel for
the wedding. Well, do you know about this?”
Charlotte glanced at her with an unpleasant expression,
Ada‘s gaze immediately turned somber. In a low voice, she asked in a low voice, “Anyway. do you know why Wayne suddenly re
gretted and called off the wedding?”
“Because of Anna?” Charlotte asked
Hearing this, Ada gave a contemptuous laugh. She said, “Oh, no. Charlotte, you‘ve known Wayne longer than I have. Do you thi
nk he would call off a wedding for a woman he just met a few months ago?”
Then, staring intently at Charlotte, she said, “It‘s because of Matthew.” Charlotte felt her heart skip a beat, and then couldn‘t help
but clench her fists.
She knew Wayne had a son. She had heard that Wayne had a son
when she had been married to the French man for a year. However, she had asked many people about it but still had no idea wh

o the mother of that child was. Besides, she had heard that Wayne cherished that kid the most
and would take him wherever he went
“Charlotte, I‘m sure you know how important Matthew is to Wayne. So, are you aware that Matthew is particularly fond of Anna?
That‘s why Wayne considered marrying her.”
“What exactly are you going to say?” Charlotte felt that this woman was not getting to the point at all with all the talk.
I certainly knew that if Wayne was going to get married, then his future wife had to get along with his son. Even if I havn‘t heard o
f anything about it, I know Wayne. Charlotte thought to herself.
Ada said meaningfully and slowly, “All in all, blood is thicker than water.”
It was the weekend, and Anna had just picked up her two children from the
Wrights‘ house when her colleague told her they needed to change their shifts. So, Anna had to work on
Saturday
Anna had no other choice but to take the children to the hotel with her. As before, she asked
the maitre d’ to take them to the children’s lounge.
“Kids, I‘m taking a lunch break at 12 noon I‘ll come over at that time and take you to lunch. Until then, try not to wander off, okay?
And, don‘t leave the hotel with anyone.”
“Ah, I know! Mommy, just go to work! I‘ll take care of Matthew.” Tammy said sweetly.
Anna pinched her little cheeks and warned, “Hey, do you think you can take care of Matthew? Don‘t cause me trouble. And don‘t
persuade Matthew to walk around with you, you hear me?”
Tammy immediately broke away from Anna‘s hand. She pouted and sat down unhappily on the couch, complaining. “Ouch, that h
urts! Mommy, you‘re going to ruin my face!”
Anna didn‘t continue talking She looked at the mischievous Tammy and then at the well–behaved and quiet Matthew
Then She stroked Matthew‘s head and said softly, “Matthew, honey, can you take care of Tammy? Also, take care of yourself, ok
ay?”

Matthew nodded seriously
Everyone in the hotel knew that Matthew was Wayne‘s son. Therefore, no matter where Matthew went, people would follow him
around to take care of him.
The employees were worried that they would be fired if something happened to him Therefore, Anna was not worried much abou
t the two children. She knew that they would be safe as long as they stayed at the hotel door
When she got to her office to put down her things, John knocked on the door and came
“Miss Gabriel, Mr. Jones said the meeting will begin at 9:30.”
Anna nodded and said, “Okay, thanks. Print ten copies of the customer complaint log and bring them over, will you?”
A lot had happened at the hotel in the last few months. They held some big events and even reconstructed the hotel. As a result,
some guests felt dissatisfied.
Last month, the complaints from the guests had doubled compared to before. The staff had discussed this matter in a meeting a f
ew days ago. Moreover, Mr. Jones asked Anna to develop an appeasement compensation plan.
After briefly organizing the information, Anna walked to the meeting room. Anna wore a
black suit, which made her look competent and elegant. She began to put on the slides and talked about her solution to these lar
ge–scale complaints. After that, she divided her presentation into several points and presented it clearly and coherently.
“This is it. And, we
should compensate customers who stayed in at that time, whether they have filed complaints or not. We should give an extra six
months of free credit to the customers who complained.”
“Also, we have to tell them how much we appreciate their advice. When drafting instructions or talking to customers, be sure to e
xplain to them clearly. We don‘t want the customers to think that we are
giving them hush money. If that happens, it‘ll be counterproductive...”
The meeting went on for two hours. After the meeting was over, it was time for the lunch break

Anna walked out of the conference room, and John followed her with the information in his arms, asking her about the exact imple
When they had just walked to the elevator, the siren suddenly rang throughout the corridor, and the
security lights on the wall blinked wildly.
Anna became nervous and said to John, “Call the security and ask what happened.”
John made a quick phone call. Just as he was talking, his face turned pale, and his expression was serious.
He said in surprise, “What? How did this happen?” “What‘s going on?” Anna asked.
John hung up the phone immediately and said, “They said that there‘s a fire in the kitchen and the fire apparatus is out of order. T
Anna‘s face went pale. Then she said, “Inform all the staff to evacuate the customers.” “Okay, I‘m on my way.” John ran off in a pa

toward the stairway.
After a while, she found that the children‘s lounge was empty.
“Matthew went to the rest room with the maitre d‘. No, I didn‘t see Tammy.” An employee
said.
Anna was
so scared that her face turned even paler. She ran around and asked people who passed by. Finally, she had reached the area w
Smoke was coming out of the kitchen door, and many people gathered around, looking anxious. Moreover, a pile of used–up fire
extinguishers was scattered on the ground.
Anna had heard that Mr. Smith, the chef, was trapped inside the kitchen.
“He‘s out!”
A middle–aged man stumbled out carrying a man dressed in white. Then, people at the door ran over to help.
The middle–aged man was out of breath and said, “Hurry up! There‘s a child inside! She seems to be Miss Gabriel‘s daughter.
