Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 204

“Well, perhaps it’s because it doesn’t really matter. It was a subsidiary on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation, and it was

worthless. You were competing with Richard Wright for the South Sea resort when it went bankrupt. So, I was in charge of all these small

companies back then.”

“Ah, I see. So, why did Joy go bankrupt? How come the group didn’t help it?”

“Oh, that’s because there was nothing we could do about it. At that time, Joy was ruined by its manager and those shady factories.

You know, they used substandard materials in making children’s clothing. And, these materials are harmful to people. By the way, a lot of

media covered this incident, but it barely affected us because Joy never had any connection with our group. When I went to their office to

check it out, there was literally no one there.”

Wayne was not the only person in charge of tile Carousel Group Five years ago.

Peter was hesitant about putting Wayne in charge of the entire company, and was also upset that he had a baby through a surrogate.

So, Peter let many people run the company at the same time.

As a result, Wayne and his cousin Richard shared management of the company.

The only reason there could be a winner between them was that Wayne won the project for South Sea Resort, a place of great

beauty and value. It was a nasty two-year battle between them, and Richard had to leave the company after Wayne won.

They were so concentrated on competing for that project that they couldn’t be bothered to deal with the trivia of their

companies.

Gabe paused and said thoughtfully, “Rumor has it that Joy’s manager at the time was Richard’s girlfriend. Anyway, it was

complicated because they had a special relationship. The headquarters was aware of its poor performance, but no one tried to take care

of it.”

In short, it was Richard who was in charge of this at that time, and Wayne couldn’t do anything to help the company at all.

Wayne pondered for a moment and said, “Put this together and send it to me. Oh, and give me a list of all the designers who worked

at Joy back then.”

“Okay.”

When Wayne turned back after hanging up the phone, he was surprised to see Andrew standing close behind him.

“Oh, it seems that you were eavesdropping on my phone call. You know that’s inappropriate,” Wayne said with deliberate

mockery

Andrew froze for a moment. Wayne was about to walk away when Andrew turned to him again and said, “Well, you must have Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

known about that incident, because it was all over the news. But the people at headquarters have asked me to take the blame for

“But, you know, I don’t even care what happened to you before. So, I don’t mind if you have a grudge against me for any reason.

You‘re not the only one that hates me,” Wayne walked into the hospital without looking back after saying that.

Anna slept for two hours alter the doctor finished treating her wound. When she woke up, she was almost numb with pain. She felt

the nerves in her body aching and couldn’t help but gasp every time she moved slightly.

*Anna, does it still hurt? The doctor said you can’t walk right now in case the blisters on your body break. So, you have to spend the

night here. I’ll take you to the hospital downtown in the morning. “Wayne asked, holding her hand and looking heartbroken.

Anna said, “i’m starving.”

Her voice was a little hoarse, owing to the fact that she had yelled for a long time.

Wayne froze for a moment before rising and saying, “I’ll get you something to eat.”

Anna winked behind him and said, “Well, you don’t have to do it now, Wayne. Hey, Mr. Cooper, yourenele u I

me uuu,

ght?”

Wavne turned around and saw Andrew Standing in the doorway of the room. He was carrying a simple wooden box with the smell of

rilled fish coming from it.

Wayne was enrared as soon as he saw Andrew. Then he became irritated and said, “I didn’t allow you to come here! Get out!”

“Oh, is that grilled fish? It smells so good!” Anna said.

Wayne hesitated and showed an ashamed expression after hearing her words.

Anna then moved on the bed a few times and waved passionately at Andrew. She attempted to get out of bed, but she accidentally

ouched her wounds, in anguish, she gritted her teeth.

Andrew stepped into the ward without saying anything, as though he didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t move.”

Wayne held Anna’s shoulders to prevent her from moving around anymore. He then turned his head, gave Andrew a warning glare,

and said, “Okay, just stand there and give it to me. You can leave now.”

“Hey, Wayne, what are you doing? Mr. Cooper was just being nice. See, he brought me food!” Anna smiled warmly at Andrew as she

held back her pain and said, “Oh, thank you.”

Andrew held the box with one hand, scratched his head awkwardly with the other, and said, “Miss Gabriel, I’m sorry. I’m here to apologize to you.”

Before Anna could reply, Wayne extended his hand grimly and said, “Hey, stop talking nonsense. Just give me that.”

if it wasn’t for the fact that Anna wanted the fish so badly, Wayne would never have accepted what Andrew offered him.

Anna thought this was a good opportunity. She then pinched Wayne’s arm violently, looked at Andrew with a smirk and said, “It’s

okay, please have a seat. You know, it’s no big deal, so you don’t have to take it seriously. I know you didn’t mean to do that. But, I want

to know why exactly you are so angry. Can you tell me more about it?”

Hearing Anna’s words, Andrew froze. He didn’t know whether he should sit or stand, so he just froze in embarrassment.

Wayne gave him a dismissive look.

“Why don’t you ask me?” he said to Anna.

“Wow, so you know about that?” Anna chewed and looked at Wayne again in shock.

“Well, I’ll tell you if you keep eating.”

Wayne didn’t like the way she looked interested in everything else. She could be interested in anything, but she wouldn’t pay

attention to him, who was standing in front of her and feeding her.

While Anna was having her fish, Wayne explained the whole thing clearly. In fact, neither of them did anything wrong.

Andrew was a well-known designer in town at that time, and he worked at Joy because his friend introduced him. His friend told

him that Joy belonged to a famous group called Carousel Group, so he could design whatever he wanted. Then, a high school ordered

uniforms from joy shortly after Andrew started working there.

Andrew insisted on using high-quality fabric for the uniforms. But because the cost was too high, his idea was not adopted. Andrew

lost it at a meeting and said sarcastically, “If you’re trying to save money, you might as well use lame fabrics. No one will find out about it

way.

what he didn’t expect, however, was that the factory actually did use low-quality fabric for the school uniforms. It was why so many

things happened later,

Widerw did not know about it at first. After the media reported that, his superiors let him take the blame for saving Joy.

bese blanied by everyone, Andrew could not continue to work in Birmingham. Feeling indignant, he went back to his

Andrews artisted after turishing the story. He said eagerly, “I know how your company reacted to that you told me to take

responsibility on my own. And you, Wayne Wright, was the president at that time.”
