Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

241 My Heart Will Always Beat For You

When Anna read the text, she laughed and immediately replied, “Oh, that’s because Karl deserves it. You need not worry about anything, I suppose.”

Anna thought to herself, Karlis such a blabber. Well, I can tolerate his spreading rumors. Yet, it pissed me off that he occasionally failed to say what he was supposed to. It seems that everything will be bad news whenever he spreads the word. Well, he really knows how to muck things up!

However, it was clear to both her and Wayne that the biggest issue in this matter was not Karl at all. Wayne needed a way to vent his anger, though, as he never conceded to defeat.

Even if she expected Wayne to apologize to her, Anna knew best that he wouldn’t.

The following day, Anna arrived back in Birmingham carrying a tender notice from the Joan Group. She had to go through the usual procedures of attending the tender because Gerard had destroyed her previously private arrangement with them.

Andrew agreed with her after she showed him the tender specifications. He said, “Oh, don’t worry. We can satisfy all of these needs, and the design of the staff uniform is not complicated. So, as long as no one gets in the way, this project will be ours.”

“Great! Thank you.”

Andrew asked as he set down the leather ruler in his hand, “By the way, when is Peace leaving?”

After giving it some thought, Anna responded, “Oh, I suppose it’s the day after. Jasper said they were leaving at the end of the month, so it’s probably that day. What’s up? Do you want to say goodbye to her?”

Andrew replied decisively, “Oh, no. Please advise her to return as soon as she’s recovered. She can still succeed me as a head designer even if she returns earlier. If she doesn’t return until a few years later, she’ll only have to be my assistant.”

Anna grinned at him after feeling resigned. After staring at Andrew for a moment, Anna teased him by asking, “Hey Andrew, I heard that you used to date Peace when you were at college. Is that true?”
