Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Anna trembled even more violently as she heard Wayne‘s words.

She clenched her fist tightly and remained silent to calm herself. Anna knew that if she spoke, her voice would tremble in fear.

To Anna‘s surprise, Wayne simply laughed and said, “Well, it seems you‘ve always been quite guarded around strangers, haven‘t you?”

Anna froze and then turned around. She felt relieved when she noticed him teasingly smiling at her.

She murmured, not daring to look him in the eyes, “Yeah, you‘re right. We were still strangers to each other at the time, so I can‘t tell you everything.”

“Ah, you make a good point. It might rain today, so bring your umbrella with you.” Wayne said as he took an umbrella from the stand and handed it to her.

“Thanks.” Anna pursed her lips, her heart pounding as she looked down.

Her heart was still beating like crazy as Anna walked out the door. She had a feeling that if she didn‘t tell Wayne the truth, something unexpected would happen. She knew Wayne was no fool. Therefore, if he had any clues, he would suspect her.

And Anna felt that she had no idea what would happen next, which made her worried.

Gabriel Group employed thousands of people, many of whom were laid off due to the company‘s abrupt demise. The entire group was preoccupied with financial liquidation and had not paid any employees for the previous two months.

While construction workers were protesting, white–collar workers in their offices became concerned. As a result, when the rumor spread, many people blamed the Gabriel Group.

Anna was relieved that many people accused her instead of
