When Anna read the text, she laughed and immediately replied, "Oh, that's because Karl deserves it. You need not worry about anything, I suppose." Anna thought to herself, Karl is such a blabber. Well, I can tolerate his spreading rumors. Yet, it pissed me off that he occasionally failed to say what he was supposed to. It seems that everything will be bad news whenever he spreads the word. Well, he really knows how to muck things up! However, it was clear to both her and Wayne that the biggest issue in this matter was not Karl at all. Wayne needed a way to vent his anger, though, as he never conceded to defeat. Even if she expected Wayne to apologize to her, Anna knew best that he wouldn't. The following day, Anna arrived back in Birmingham carrying a tender notice from the Joan Group.
