Chapter 103 Did He Tell You about Me?

When Anna came back to the room and pushed the door open, she found that the room was in darkness. She could see a figure sitting on the sofa with the help of the light that came in from outside.

With a cigarette between his fingers, Wayne inhaled deeply on the cigarette and the cigarette end glowed red in the darkness.

After hesitation, Anna closed the door gently and walked toward him. “Why did you suddenly come back? You don’t like the gumbo?”

“No,” Wayne answered briefly. For a moment, Anna didn’t know what to say.

She gently waved her hand, trying to disperse the smoke. Although she had been holding her breath, she couldn’t help but cough when inhaling the smoke.

Hearing her cough, Wayne paused for a few seconds and stubbed out the cigarette. Then he stood up and opened the window, letting the fresh air in. The oppressive atmosphere in the room gradually faded away.

“We’ll leave early tomorrow morning. As for the man that you hit, he’ll go back with us and be transferred to the hospital of Birmingham,” Wayne said. His low voice sounded dull in the

rain.

Hearing that, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. When she realized that Wayne was standing with his back to her and couldn’t see her action, she said, “OK. All my work here has been finished. If it weren’t for the rainstorm, we would have gone back to Birmingham today.”

Wayne nodded without saying anything and then he went into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water running came from inside.

After staying in the room a while, Anna walked out and went downstairs. Most of the guests had gone back to their rooms and the hall became quiet again.

The receptionist was cleaning up the tables. When she saw Anna coming downstairs, she asked, “Miss, you and your boyfriend didn’t have much of the gumbo. Is it not to your taste?”

Anna didn’t clarify the relationship between Wayne and her and made an excuse. “He’s not feeling well and has no appetite, so we went back to the room just now. Sorry.

“Why do you apologize? It doesn’t matter. Did he catch a cold because of the cold weather? There are medicines at the front desk,” the receptionist said.
