Anna froze and looked at Wayne‘s grim expression. She felt like his words were like a spike that
stabbed her hard in the heart. At that moment, she felt so heartbroken that she could barely speak.
“What did you just say?” She asked as she couldn‘t believe her own ears.
Anna knew that even if she was not Matthew‘s mother, she would have rushed into the fire to save him.
Besides, Matthew was her own child.
Wayne said indifferently, “Well, you can go now. I will think about our relationship these days, and I‘ll
tell you my answer after that. Also, I‘ll make it up to you as much as I can.”
Then, a crisp slap sounded in the hallway. Hearing that, several nurses not far away turned to look at
them
Wayne had faint fingerprints on the right side of his face. He tilted his head slightly sideways and did
not move for several seconds, as if he was frozen.
It took him a while for him to come back to his senses. Then, the veins on his forehead became bulged
out. In disbelief, Wayne looked at Anna with an embarrassed and incredulous
expression.
That was the first time in his life that someone had beaten him. Therefore, he was too surprised to say
anything.
“You don‘t have to think about it anymore. We‘re done, Wayne. Goodbye.“She said.
Anna clenched her fists. She clenched them so hard that her nails hurt her soft palm. However, Anna
knew that the pain was the only thing that would keep her sane and help her preserve her pride.
She glanced at Charlotte and then said slowly to Wayne, “Wayne, you‘re such an i***t! But it‘s none of
my business. However, if you dare to hurt Matthew, I‘ll not let you off.”
Wayne is such an i***t! Any reasonable person would know precisely why Charlotte showed up at the
hotel and happened to save Matthew in time. She‘s the most suspicious person. But, why does Wayne
trust her like that? Has he lost his mind? Anna thought to herself.
Then Anna left without looking back.
She felt heartbroken and furious, which made her had mixed feelings. And she immediately rushed
back to the hotel and continued the meeting with the staff.
It was late at night when the meeting ended. All the PR people who attended the emergency meeting
were yawning and talking.
“Thank God things are finally over. I think we should have it under control by next Monday.” One
employee said.
“The hotel kitchen needs to be redone. What should we do? Should we shut down the hetel for a
while?”
“Miss Gabriel, what are we supposed to do about the kitchen?” Meanwhile, Anna kept packing her
things and didn‘t answer them. When the person asked
her for the third time, Anna finally got impatient.
She smacked the file in her hand on the table and said loudly and sternly, “Stop asking me! You know
what, you guys should ask Mr. Jones about this. This is not my hotel, and I am not the executive
manager. I‘m resigning next Monday, and I‘ll handle the handover tomorrow.”
Everyone looked at each other in amazement and was too shocked to speak.
John was confused. After the meeting, he followed Anna and kept asking, “Anna, what‘s wrong? Tell
me, what happened? Why do you want to quit all of a sudden? Are you kidding me?”
“Do you think I look like I‘m joking?” Anna asked.
Anna went back to her office and sat down at her desk. She then turned on her computer and started
typing on the keyboard.
She quickly typed down a few words in the document, “Resignation Letter.” Those words were huge
and seemed to be yelled out as if they carried Anna‘s anger.
Wait, what? Is she doing it for real? John thought to himself. Then, his eyes widened in horror, and he
was too scared to ask any more questions.
It was not the first time Anna had considered resigning. Before that, she wanted to leave the hotel
when she learned that Matthew was his son. But, it just happened that she and Wayne
started dating back then. Otherwise, she would quit the job immediately.
Why should I work here if Wayne is so mean to me? She thought.
At night, Matthew had fallen asleep in his exclusive VIP hospital room. And Charlotte was resting in the
room next to his.
It was cool at night.
Wayne stood on the batcony. Instead of making him feel chilled, the cool breeze made him more
irritable.
He had just returned from London by plane this morning. He knew that his grandfather had asked Anna
and the kids to have dinner with him in the evening. So, he was going to give her a big surprise.
However, the moment he got off the plane, he heard the news that the hotel was on fire. Then,
someone told Gabe that Matthew was taken to the hospital.
Wayne rushed to the hospital. To his surprise, it was not Anna who accompanied Matthew, but
Charlotte. To save him, Charlotte got burned on her entire left arm.
Even adults could not bear this kind of pain. So, Wayne dared not imagine how painful it would be for
Matthew if he had suffered such an injury.
What annoyed him most was that Anna came to the hospital as if nothing had happened until the
evening. And, he became even angrier after he knew that both children were in the kitchen at that time.
But, Anna had only saved her daughter.
At that moment, Gabe walked up to him and handed him a pack of cigarettes and a lighter that he had
just bought.
Wayne had quit smoking for a long time. But, he asked Gabe to buy a pack of cigarettes for him.
As he turn on the lighter, a light blue flame immediately appeared. He held a cigarette in his
slender fingers and took a drag.
Then he exhaled slowly, and the smoke blurred his face.
Gabe stood for a moment and said hesitantly, “Mr. Wright, the manager of HR department just called
me. He said that Miss Gabriel is resigning.”
Wayne‘s fingers holding the cigarette suddenly froze. He frowned, and his expression became
unpleasant. He said, “Oh. Well, just make sure her resignation go smooth.”
His tone was nonchalant. However, as Gabe listened carefully to Wayne‘s words, he could sense that
he was annoyed.
Gabe carefully looked at Wayne‘s expression and said, “Mr. Wright, I think there is something
suspicious about the fire. Maybe Miss Gabriel wasn‘t lying when she said she didn‘t know Matthew was
there. As far as I know, everyone saw her come out of the fire with her daughter. She had gone into the
kitchen, but she didn‘t see Matthew. So, how did Miss Wilson know he was in there?”
Charlotte was injured, so no one asked her about the fire. Therefore, she didn‘t say how she had gotten
Matthew out. The employees all said that Charlotte immediately rushed into the kitchen as soon as
Anna walked out of the hotel door. Not long afterward, she went out with Matthew
“Plus, Matthew was hiding in the cooler,” Gabe said, reminding Wayne of what was fishy about the fire.
Matthew was in the cooler. So, if people didn‘t know he was there, they wouldn‘t have spotted him even
if they had gone into the kitchen.
If that‘s the case, maybe Anna wasn‘t lying. Then the only suspicious person would be Charlotte.
Wayne thought to himself.
Wayne frowned. He said grimly after a long time, “Check this thing out.”
“Okay, got it. So, what about Miss Gabriel‘s resignation?”
Wayne‘s expression immediately changed, as if he thought Gabe asked the wrong question. He glared
at him and said unpleasantly, “Tell the HR manager not to agree on her resignation application.”
Anna slept overnight in the ward of the hospital where Tammy was staying. She had just woken up
when she received a call from HR the next morning.
“Miss Gabriel, I’m sorry, but you can‘t resign now.”
Anna had just woken up. So, she said impatiently, “Huh? Why can‘t I resign? I remember the
company‘s rule that the handover can be done in fifteen days.”
“Yes, you are right. However, there was a fire yesterday, and the company is investigating the cause.
So, no one is allowed to resign now. If you still want to quit, you have to wait until they find out what
happened.”
“By the way, I want to tell you that you‘ve got suspended.”
