Chapter 181181 Did You Treat Him Fairly? 181 Did You Treat Him Fairly?
“I know how the hotel treated you this time. So, are you going to work for them?” Randal asked
playfully.
Anna frowned and felt there was a deep void in her heart.
She knew that the Carousel Hotel had really treated her badly in handling the fire. It was the employees
of the security department that should have been responsible for the fire, not Anna, the lobby manager.
However, Anna was the only one who was suspended.
However, Anna knew who told them to do this.
Wayne did this because he didn‘t want me to leave. He was using his power to get back our personal
grudge. So, if Randal invited me
to work at his company, I could certainly agree. And, I have the right to do so.
Anna thought to herself.
“Well, then what kind of job would you ask me to do? Are you doing this because you value my ability
to work? If you are
sympathizing with me, or because you like Scott, then I’m sorry, I won’t accept your favor.”
Scott looked extremely embarrassed when he heard the last word.
“Oh, I certainly think you’re capable. Anna, I think you are qualified for a better position. I have no idea
why Wayne only made you a
lobby manager.” Randal said firmly, as if he had already decided to let Anna work in his company.“Well, like what?”
“How about being my executive secretary?”
Before Anna could say anything, Scott said reluctantly, “No way! Randal, she can’t be your secretary.
Forget it! Anna, don’t say yes
to him. You know, he’s not a nice guy.”
When Anna saw how anxious Scott was, she felt helpless. She then looked at Randal and said, “Oh,
thank you for your kind proposal,
Randal. But, I don’t think I can work for you. You see, Scott knew you long before I did. But, he told me
that you’re not a nice
person.”
Randal didn’t seem to want to argue any more. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Well, it looks
like you don’t want to leave
the Carousel Group. So, I’m not going to persuade you anymore. If you change your mind, you can call
me.”
“Oh no, it’s not like that.I can certainly leave Carousel. But, I just think that your company may not be
the one for me. So, I’ll find
another way to make a living.”
Randal blinked and asked, “You mean you’re not going to work at Carousel anymore?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk about that right now.” Anna smiled at Randal and didn’t want to
continue theconversation.
She felt that although the Wilson and the Wrights were close, they were business rivals. Therefore, as
an employee of Carousel
Group, she thought that she couldn’t tell Randal about the staff changes in the company,
Moreover, Anna sensed that Randall had some bad intentions for some unknown reasons. So, she
thought she’d better watch out for
novelbinhim.
“Are you going to resign or not?” As soon as they got home, Peace asked Anna about what they had
just mentioned.
Anna was just putting on her slippers and looking for the kettle in the kitchen. She said, with her back to
Peace, “Well, yes. I always
have to deal with my personal grudges when I work there. You know, I‘ve always liked to make a clear
distinction between work and
personal matters.”
“What? So, why did you reluse Randal’s offer? I think being his executive secretary is actually a perfect
job. You know, it’s much
better than being a hotel lobby manager.” Peace said as she took off her party dress. She then put on
an oversize white t-shirt and sat
down on the couch.“Oh, I don’t think it’s a good idea. You know, he wanted to dale Scott. So, I could never get involved in
this matter.”
What Randal does every day is to do business, not charity. When he knew I would lose my job, he
immediately offered to give me a
good one. He definitely didn‘t do it out of pity. Maybe, he wanted to take advantage of me or Scott.
Anna thought.
Peace raised her eyebrows and seemed to disagree with her. She said, “Oh, Anna, I think you’re
overthinking it. If you do this, you
will do yourself no good and harm others. So, I think you should have a good talk to Wayne and work
things out between you two.”
At this point, the water boiled. Anna made two cups of tea, handed one to Peace, and then sat down
next to her.
“Oh, this is not as easy as you think. Besides, I can’t tell him the truth now anyway. If I tell him and we
happen to break up, he’ll
want Tammy back. So, both the kids would be his. He’s so rich and powerful, and there’s no way I can
compete with him.”
Anna was aware that the Wright family was a very mighty one in Birmingham. And, if Wayne really
wanted Tammy back, Anna
couldn’t fight back no matter what she did.“Hey, think of the bright side. If Wayne knew that both children were his, he wouldn’t wonder which one
you really liked. That way,
the misunderstanding between you would be resolved.”
“Oh, no, Peace. It’s not that simple.” Anna said with a frown.
Peace sat up straight and seemed to become serious. It was the first time she hadn’t taken Anna’s
side. She said, “Yeah? Tell me,
what do you think? What do you want from Wayne? You’ve always thought that Wayne asked too much
of you, and that was unfair. But,
do you think you’re being fair to him? He doesn’t even know that Tammy is his daughter.”
Anna fell silent, and then the room became quiet.
Peace got up after a long time and tapped her on the shoulder. She said, “Anna, you should think about
this. I know it’s your own
business. But, as your friend, I’d like to say a few words. I think that you should tell Wayne the truth and
your thoughts. If he does sue you,
then there is no reason for you to panic. Don’t forget that Jasper will support you. So, he’ll never let
Tammy be away from you.”
After Peace returned to her room, Anna sat alone in the living room and thought about that until
midnight.
I often weighed the pros and cons when I dated Wayne. But I didn‘t think there was anything wrong
with that. I‘m a mother, andMatthew has been taken away from me by Wayne five years ago. So, I have every night and reason to
resent Wayne.
Anna thought.
Peace called Karl after seeing that there was a missed call from him.
“Hey! What’s up?” she asked.
Karl said, sounding a little excited, “Oh, hey, I’m coming back from a business trip tomorrow. Then, I
can have some time off. I’d like
to take you on a trip! Isn’t that nice?”
“Oh, no! You have a vacation, but I don’t. Besides, why would I want to travel with you?”
“I heard Wayne and Anna had a fight. So, I’m doing this to give them to make up. Let’s go on a trip with
them, shall we? Then, it will
be a double date!”
Peace said indifferently, “That’s none of my business. If they want to fight, they can fight all they want.
You want to be a peacemaker,
burl don’
As if he hadn’t heard that, Karl continued, “Which one do you want to go to, a rural island or Maldives?”
“The island.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll prepare the stull we’ll need, so you don’t have to bring anything.”Karl learned a lot of things after spending so much time with Peace. So, he knew that sometimes when
she said “no”, it meant “yes”.
No matter what she was saying, he could tell whether she liked it or not just by hearing her tone.
Carly the next morning.
Lalked to Annd about taking her on a trip before she went to work.
“It’s a food opportunity, Anna. There are certainly not many tourists on the island at this time of year.
So, it’s just the right time for
you to have a good talk with Wayne.
Anna frozelor a moment and inally nodded. When Peace noticed the obvious dark circles under Anna’s
eyes, she knew she hadn’t
slept well last night,
She probably spent the night thinking about what she would say to Wayne about it.
Peace thought.
“By the way, what are you gonna do this afternoon7″ Peace asked before she left.
“I’ll go to Peter’s to see my daughter.”
“Geez, you’re so clever! You put Tammy there on purpose, didn’t you? In that way, you’ll have a perfect
reason to see your
son.”“He’s my son, so I can see him.”
“Yes, he is your son. But, you are the only one who is afraid to admit that.”
Peace took the keys and said, “Well, I’m going to be late now. I have to go, bye!”
