Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

195 Why Now? 195 Why Now?

North Town was a seaside town that was far away from Birmingham. The locals there were warm and welcoming, and the seafood

there was of good quality and in short supply.

Most of the fishermen there were pleased with how they were doing and did not want to change, making it more unique. As a result,

they tend to fish and sell seafood in specified months of the year and then take a break.

Also, the village remained in its most pristine condition for so many years. Mountains and scas stretched for hundreds of miles, all of

which had never been exploited. When Anna was driving there, she noticed how beautiful the natural countryside was.

However, Anna was still yawning as she drove. 

She stopped for lunch al a service station along the highway in the afternoon. If she’d known she’d never see a store again, she

might have bought something to eat,

Just as she was regrettingit, her stomach growled,

Anna sighed dejectedly and muttered, “Please stop grunting, my friend! That grumpy designer will absolutely buy me a seafood

dinner later on.”

Although he was a very good friend of Peace’s, he wanted to meet Anna in person. He said that he couldn’t judge the company’s

value without meeting the boss herself. Also, Anna came here so soon because she wanted to meet this talented designer.

At that moment, Anna’s cell phone rang. After she glanced at the caller ID, she put it on speakerphone.

“Hey, Anna, my boss, where are you?” Peace asked teasingly. As she spoke, Anna could hear the noisy sound of a power drill drilling

into the wall.

Anna turned down that voice and said, “Oh my God, are you at the office? It’s too noisy there. Can you find a quieter place to

talk?”

“Well, this is really the quietest place here. We‘re running out of time; it’s nearly nightfall. Come on, it’s your own company!”

“I didn’t mean it like that! You know, the sound of the electric drill is giving me a headache.”

Then, Peace’s voice gradually became clearer. She said, “Okay, now I’m coming outside. Is it quiet enough? I’m telling you, I had to
