Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 296

296 Mind Your Own Business

When Anna heard those words, she frowned. She knew that Richard was there for a reason.

Richard added, "Miss Gabriel and | both want to talk about the same thing, so | believe we can do so together. John, I'd be wasting your time otherwise, wouldn't |?"

John made a thought-provoking expression.

The Carousel Group and the Joan Group had no business dealings, and John knew Richard because they shared a common hobby. However, since John was many years older than Richard, he deserved to be treated with respect.

Richard, on the other hand, sounded as if he didn't take John seriously at all.

Richard then asked Anna, "You want to talk to John about that order, right?*’

She gave him a cold stare and said, "Oh, | believe it is between myself and Mr. Gilbert. More precisely, it is between Lemon and the Joan Group. This has absolutely nothing to do with you.”

Richard walked over to Anna, and then looked at John and said, "You look like you want me to get the hell out of the office, don't you?

However, you appear to be missing the point."

"What do you mean?" John asked after a brief pause.

"Hal It appears that my prediction was correct! Why don't you just say it, Anna? John and | are good friends, so he'll forgive you for my sake."

Anna remained silent while frowning. Richard told John, "A week ago, there was a large fire in a warehouse in the suburbs. This incident even made the news."

John asked suspiciously, "Yes, | am aware of it. But, Richard, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Richard smiled at him and said, "Ah, what I'm saying has something to do with Anna.”

What was going on was completely unknown to John. He wasn't happy with Richard's attitude, but he couldn't get mad at him.

"Well, what is it?” John asked again.

Richard smiled as if he had won a battle and said, "The clothes you ordered from Lemon were stored in the warehouse where the fire broke out. Plus, | heard that over half of them were burned. So, Anna probably wants to talk to you about applying for a delay,”

John asked, "Anna, is it true?"

Anna locked her gaze on John, nodded, and said, "Yes, Richard is correct. The fire destroyed half of our clothes. Besides, it left us with a significant financial loss. It appears that Richard knows literally everything, doesn't it?”

Anna replied, "I'm not a magician. However, the awesome designer | hired is."

Richard was taken aback when he heard Anna's words.

Anna handed John a folder from her bag and said, "See, this is our delivery note. I was about to give it to you as soon as | got here, but someone was constantly talking and bothering me just now. John, | was hoping you could go check the goods yourself because we did them in a hurry. Well, that's why I came here to see you.*’

Richard and John were both stunned after seeing that file. In fact, Anna thought she was hallucinating because she was exhausted when Andrew told her that he had made it.

She knew no Birmingham factories could take new orders because Richard had paid them not to do so. He'd rather spend a lot of money preventing the factory from doing anything than keep Lemon running.

However, a miracle occurred.

When John saw the delivery order's type and quantity, he was relieved and said, "Really? Great! | have plenty of time now, so let's go. Ifthe clothes are as good as | expected, I'll give you the rest of the money tomorrow."

John knew that he could not offend Anna even more because she had Wayne to support her. He felt that all he needed to do was finish this deal as soon as possible,

Surprised, Richard said, "Oh! That is not possible! You'd never be able to make so many clothes in a week! Furthermore, no factories in Birmingham would even accept your order.*’
