Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

291 No One Can Get Away with It

Anna had known for a long time that Richard wanted to buy the Gabriel Group. He had been eager to do so since he became the president of the Wright group.

Richard had been a rival to Wayne since he was a child and had always wanted to be a winner. He had rarely shown up in the past three years because he wanted to get stronger and then win the game.

He had to admit, however, that Wayne was a genius: a genius who had built the foundation of the entire corporate culture. As a result, he believed he had a long way to go to replace Wayne. And Gabriel Group, a medium-sized company, became his primary target.

He chose this group after careful deliberation for two reasons. First of all, Wayne worked there. Second of all, the Gabriel Group had been in a terrible situation since Frank's death. Furthermore, he did not believe Anna could save the group alone.

"They have confirmed the time and location for dinner tonight, Mr. Wright,” In a sweet voice, his lovely secretary said to him.

Richard leaned back in his chair and used his right hand to turn the wedding ring on his finger. He smiled gently, but his face looked solemn

"By the way, | also told Miss Xavier about it. She said she would definitely attend it." The secretary added.

Richard then nodded his head in satisfaction.

Mr. John Gilbert of the Joan Group hosted the dinner that night.

Anna went to the dinner alone because Peter had told Wayne to go, home and talk about something.

"Miss Gabriel, it's been a long time. You look fantastic."

Anna was surprised to see two people she knew sitting at the table after a small talk with John.

John explained, "Ah, Mr. Wright brought his friend along for the occasion. Do you mind it?"

Anna laughed, looked at the "friend" he referred to and said, "Oh, | certainly don't mind. Well, it seems that Mr. Wright is really well respected, I'm surprised that you were able to invite Miss Xavier to dinner.”

Hearing that, Ada blushed with embarrassment, and she said as calmly as possible, "Miss Gabriel, if you're still upset with me for what happened before, please accept my apologies. If you don’t want to see me, I can leave."

John looked at them, puzzled, and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

and said, "Yeah. But because we didn't know each other very well, | didn't understand what she was saying, I
