Chapter 398 Switching Identities 

A shiver ran down Anna’s spine. She knew that if she didn’t go on that. blind date this afternoon, Nancy would hunt her down with a scalpel.

After replying to Nancy’s text message, Anna sighed and looked at the exit in front of her. Her phone then rang again.

Anna frowned and picked up the phone, saying, “I replied to your text message, and I’ll be on that blind date for you. You don’t have to keep telling me that.”

Then Anna heard a man ask, “What? A blind date?”

Anna was taken aback and looked down at her phone. It wasn’t Nancy’s number.

Anna recognized the caller and asked, “Wayne, is that you?”

“It’s the weekend, so why don’t we go to dinner?” Wayne said after a brief pause.

Anna froze and said, “I’m not available right now. Besides, you don’t have to invite me to dinner. “

Wayne asked unhappily, “Oh? So you’re going on a blind date? With who?”

Anna was at a loss for what to say. When she looked up, Isabella was. already walking toward the car. So, she said right away, “A lawyer named Joshua. And it’s none of your business.”

After that, she got off the phone. Wayne had been sitting in his car for quite some time under Anna’s apartment building. He frowned as he looked at his phone. He thought, Joshua? lawyer?! s it possible that Anna’s going to have a blind date with Joshua Davis? I’m gotta find it out 397 Switching Identities no matter what!

Wayne then returned to the office. Noel had just left the finance office when he saw Wayne. “Mr. Wright, I thought you weren’t coming back today,” he said.

Wayne gave him a cold stare, making him shiver and daring him to ask more questions. He asked, “What was the original plan for today?”

Noel followed him, saying, “Today, the legal department and the secretary will hold a meeting. Mr. Davis was unanimously appointed as the legal department’s lead attorney by the board. We need you to make the announcement in person and then coordinate with the various departments.”

“Cancel the meeting now and tell Davis to meet me in my office. I have something urgent to talk to him about.” Wayne said impatiently and coldly. novelbin

“But, Mr. Wright. All the board members have already been waiting for you in the meeting room. Are you sure you want to…”

Before Noel finished his sentence, Wayne cut him off, glaring at him, “Just do as | said! Damn it!”

Instantly, Noel felt a shiver running down his spine. After a few seconds, he said in a trembling voice under Wayne’s glare, “I… ‘m onit. I’m so sorry!”

A few minutes later, Joshua arrived at the door to Wayne’s office. As soon as Wayne’s secretary saw him, she opened the door for him respectfully and informed Wayne of his coming.

“Greetings, Mr. Wright. To what do I owe the pleasure?” Joshua said in a light tone while stepping into Wayne’s office and looking around.

“Congratulations. Mr. Davis, you will now be the legal department’s lead attorney. I hope you will take the responsibility and do your best here, 397 Switching Identities” Wayne said, looking at him seriously with his sharp eyes

“Oh, thanks. With due respect, shouldn’t you congratulate me at the meeting that has been canceled just now? Otherwise, I’m afraid that other board members won’t know that you arranged for me to take the position,” Unbuttoning his suit, Joshua uttered when sitting down in front of Wayne gracefully.

Then he continued, “Right. | assumed that you’ve already known that I’m not interested in taking the job and that | plan to turn it down. Is that why you asked to talk to me in private, Mr. Wright?”

Huh! You’re quite bold, aren’t you? As a newcomer here, you’ve already used to talking to me in a seemingly polite but somewhat insulting tone. Never had | been treated by my employees like this before. Damn it! But I can’t lose it right now as | have something urgent to talk with you, Joshua. | need to confirm whether you’re the lawyer that Anna is going to have a blind date with. As for your job, I’lldeal with it later!

Thinking of that, Wayne answered in a polite yet indifferent tone, “Indeed, It turns out that you’re just as smart and insightful as others told me. As you know, the position had been vacant for a long time. So, your sudden quit will make it hard for the HR department to hire a new lead attorney for the time being. I wonder, if it will be acceptable that | invite you to lunch and discuss the matter? What do you think, Mr. Davis?” Joshua didn’t look up and kept packing his bag. He said, “Well, ‘m sorry that I have to turn you down again on this matter. I have plans this noon, and | took the afternoon off.”

Wayne asked, “Really? Your father says you rarely go out on weekends and only go to the library and the courthouse”

“I have a blind date,” Joshua said, gathering his belongings and picking up his bag. 397 Switching Identities

Hearing that, Wayne froze for the second time today. He shouted in his heart, What the f**k?! Anna is really having a blind date with you?! It can’t be! I, Ineed further evidence to prove it!

Then, with a cough, Wayne asked, “May | know who you’re having a blind date with?”

“Well… Okay. I can’t recall her name, but | remember that she’s a doctor in a hospital of our city. My family arranged the blind date for me. I apologize for not being able to join you for lunch. I’ll certainly invite you the next time.”

A doctor! s**t! It must be Anna! It can’t be a coincidence that

they two are having a blind date on the same day! Wayne reasoned to himself.

After that, he asked, “Mr. Davis, may | ask you another question?”

“Yes, go ahead,” Joshua answered. He appeared a bit impatient at the moment, though

“Do you know that blind date of yours? Are you friends or are you two just total strangers to each other?”

“Yes and no. I’ve known her since I was a kid. And we were good

friends back then. After all these years, I still can’t get over her. But I don’t know whether she still feels the same for me.”

Huh? That’s strange. Anna had told me that she hated playing with boys when she was little as she was always bullied by them. In that case, it’s impossible that Anna is the same person that Joshua refers to, Could it be that…

“Alright. Time is flying. I have to leave now, Mr. Wright,” Joshua’s voice brought Wayne’s wandering mind back to the present.

“Wait!” Wayne shouted.

Upon hearing that, Joshua turned around and asked, slightly

frowning, “Anything else, Mr. Wright?”

“The person you were referring to is Nancy Moore. Am | right?”

“How… How did you know?”

“It doesn’t matter how | got to know about it. Also, I know that

you’re desperate to win her heart through this blind date. And |

happened to have a plan for you to get her back to you. What do you think?”

“Is that a joke? Do you have to get back at me like this simply because turned you down, Mr, Wright?” Joshua asked in disbelief.

Shaking his head, Wayne answered, “Do | sound like I’m joking with you?”
