419 Who's that Man?
The city appeared cozy as the evening lights shone throughout it. Joshua hurriedly took the elevator to Wayne's office and dashed there. Wayne had just called Joshua and told him he needed him to return to the office immediately.
He was doubtful why Wayne had asked him to his office in the middle of the night. He walked into the office and saw Wayne looking downeast.
"What's wrong?” he asked.
Wayne asked coldly, "How's the Albert Pharmaceutical lawsuit going?"
Joshua found his question strange. He paused for a moment before replying, "This company was bought out by another company three months ago. So, the debt was transferred to another company. When the lawsuit was handed over, you met with their president and convinced them to settle out of court on the terms of a suburban warehouse. So that relationship was crossed off the list."
Wayne frowned and asked, "What? Why do you make it seem so simple? Is it true that I signed a contract with them?"
Joshua said calmly, "That's what the business department should take care of, so I'm not sure about that."
"Im telling you, | didn't sign that damn contract! | don't need that warehouse at all, and | was just being polite when | said that. We still have to sue them." Wayne glared angrily at Joshua.
“OK, then I'l start preparing tomorrow,” Joshua frowned. 418 Who's that Man?
"No, you better start doing that today," Wayne interrupted him.
The atmosphere became strange. Wayne had always been unpredictable, but Joshua saw nothing wrong with that. He wasn't a businessman, so he had no idea what one should be like. He was just a lawyer, and he only cared about doing his job right.
Then he just said, "OK, I'll go get ready now. By the way, thank you for helping me with getting Nancy to be with me. Though she still refuses to see me, | think that we're making some progress.”
“Just leave, would you? I'm not in the mood to talk about it with you?” Wayne said, waving his hand to Joshua impatiently.
The moment Joshua was about to turn around and leave, he saw that Wayne was wearing bright yellow clothes under the table, and then he stopped. He held back his laughter after confirming that he was not mistaken.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure this gets fixed," he said.
Wayne slapped the desk hard after Joshua left. Noel had been hiding out in the cubicle the whole time. He ran over as soon as he heard the noise, clutching a headgear. He was still wearing his Pikachu custom pants because they were difficult to remove, making him look hilarious.
Wayne became even angrier and asked, "Why are you still dressed like this? This is a terrible idea! Anna wasn't even paying attention to me tonight!"
Noel explained, "It was a total accident! | didn't expect that she would just turn around and walk away like that after she got out of the supermarket! | thought she would at least spare a glance at us..."
"Shut up!"
Noel immediately covered his mouth. He noticed that Wayne looked upset, and he asked, "Mr. Wright, do you feel hot? Do you want me to get 418 Who's that Man? you another pant?"
Noel took a deep breath and carefully handed over the jewelry box to Wayne. He figured that it was necessary that he'd asked Gable who Anna was. As far as he knew, Wayne was not the type of person who would go all his way out for love.
After getting out of the car, Wayne went straight to the hospital's front door. Because he was very attractive, he drew a lot of attention. It was noon, and there was almost no one in the testing department. Wayne spotted Anna as he walked out of the elevator.
He smiled and then walked quickly toward her. However, he stopped as he saw Anna taking a lunch box from a man. He was too far away from them to hear what they were saying. Also, the man was standing with his back to Wayne, so Wayne couldn't see his face. Still, he could see Anna smiling brightly.
It was the first time he had seen Anna smile so happily in five years. Wayne clutched the jewelry box in his hand, wanting to approach her and ask what was happening. But then he realized he wasn’t in the position to question her about anything, He paused for a moment longer before 418 Who's that Man? walking away.
"Joshua, why did you come by yourself?" Anna asked, staring at the thermos box in her hand.
"My mother was supposed to come here, but she's a little busy today. Besides, | think | should talk to Nancy in person now."
"Then, why don't you bring it over to her yourself?"
“I'm afraid she wouldn't eat anything | gave her. Anyway, I'll talk to her after she's finished eating,”
"Is it possible that | won't need to cover for you from now on?" Anna laughed.
"Maybe, maybe not," Joshua said, laughing.
