Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

231 Removing Wayne From His Position

After a big fight with Karl, Anna went back to her office and worked through the night. She couldn’t stop yawning when she woke up early the next morning. Then, Jasper called her and invited her to breakfast.

It was only 7:30 a.m., so most of the people who would have bought breakfast at that restaurant were not up yet. In addition, no one would be sitting around eating breakfast as leisurely as Jasper and Anna.

Jasper placed a peeled poached egg on the little dish in front of her after noticing how drowsy she appeared.

He asked with concern, “Are you tired, Anna? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Anna waved her hand while yawning once again. She replied, “I didn’t sleep at all! Well, actually, I slept for a while at five o‘clock. The office is not a good place for sleeping, and that couch is uncomfortable. In fact, I had already woken up when you called me.”

“If you want to run a business, you must take your time. Anna, you don’t need to work so hard or use so much energy at first.” As someone who had started a business before, Jasper gave Anna advice.

However, Anna tole him the truth, “That’s not true! When I worked as a cleaning lady in your company five years ago, you often worked overtime. And, I’ve never seen you not work overtime for once. Sometimes, the lights in your office would remain on all night. That’s why we gave you a nickname, ‘Work Machine”

Jasper smiled and didn’t didn’t appear to mind that Anna had mentioned something embarrassing that happened in the past.

He said, “But even robots have to be charged. My personal experiences can be used as a bad example. Even though I worked very hard, my business was still on the verge of bankruptcy. If you hadn’t saved me in time, I’m afraid I’d be asleep in a subway station in New York right now.”

Anna took a sip of her latte. Despite her bad mood, she joked with him, “It seems that there might be a lot of geniuses there. Well, I’ll visit there some time and try to find a talent like Warren Buffett.”

Jasper looked at her, smiled gently and said, “Hey, you’re in the mood to joke with me! Anna, you don’t seem to be as worn out as you claimed. Are you wondering why I called you at such an early hour of the morning?”

“Why?” Anna asked casually and didn’t seem interested.

Her attitude didn’t appear to bother Jasper at all. He said calmly, “Actually, I think you can spend more time with Peace these days. You know, in a few days, she and I will be flying back to America. You won’t see her frequently in the future.”

In shock, Anna put the glass in her hand and asked, “Wait, what? You’re taking Peace back to America? Oh, my goodness! Who said yes to that?”
