Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

“That’s what you’re getting ready for.” Lewis Brown raised an eyebrow and shook her hand, “Don’t be nervous for a while, it’s only my brother-in-law besides my parents. And … I have a surprise for you.”
Surprise?
Andrea Jones was confused as to what his so-called ‘surprise’ could be, but no matter how much she asked, he wouldn’t say anything.
A half hour drive to the Ruan family, Andrea Jones was good enough to present the gifts one by one. The original nervousness and anxiety dissipated after meeting the two elders.
Viona Hall is very enthusiastic, Steve Brown is quite big, elegant atmosphere. Now Andrea Jones also know that Lewis Brown’s warmth is inherited from whom.
“Come, sit down first.” Viona Hall warmly took Andrea Jones’ hand and sat on the sofa, and asked Aunt Wu to cut fruit and hand it over, “Andrea, think of this as your own home, don’t be formal.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Andrea Jones relaxed a little and took a small bite of pineapple.
“How’s it going? How’s your mother doing?” Viona Hall asks with a smile, her heart filled with gratitude for Charleen Davis.
“My aunt is thinking of you. Mother is not bad, recently retired, as soon as the evening dragged me and my sister out for a walk, in good spirits.”
“Your mother is so lucky to have you two sisters. Look at my family, where do you usually see Lewis Brown and Penny Brown?”
Andrea Jones just want to speak, Lewis Brown has sat over and grabbed her shoulder, “Mom, Andrea just came you pick up my shortcomings to say, worry about scaring people away!”
Viona Hall laughs.
Lewis Brown inclined his face to his father, who was sitting on the side, “Why hasn’t my brother-in-law arrived yet?”
“There’s a little traffic, it’s coming over. Waiting.”
Lewis Brown ‘oh’ and turned back to Andrea Jones and said, “The surprise is coming soon, wait and see.”
“What kind of surprise?” Andrea Jones grew more and more curious.
Lewis Brown just wouldn’t say, and the two were laughing when Aunt Wu’s voice came, “Sir, Madam, the second youngest has arrived!”
Viona Hall got busy and Steve Brown immediately greeted her. Lewis Brown grabbed Andrea Jones and followed her parents, immediately stopping laughing and looking serious.
From elders to juniors, the three look polite and polite, not as familiar as the usual family, but seems a bit distant.
Andrea Jones couldn’t help but wonder who the visitor was that could make the Ruan family like this. I think it is really very dignified person.
“Sorry for the late arrival.” A gentle voice, warm and polite. Andrea Jones couldn’t help but look, but the Steve Brown in front of her was too tall, blocking half of her view, and she could only faintly see the other man’s broad shoulders.
“Nowadays, the traffic is really getting congested. I’ll have to call Old Lee and tell him to fix the traffic.” Steve Brown said.
“Come on, let’s not talk about that. neal, come in and sit down.” Viona Hall and Steve Brown both sidled up.
It was only now that Andrea Jones got a good look at the visitor.
I don’t know if it’s because the sculpted features are too delicate, or the aura underneath is too intimidating, in short, the man in front of me is impossible to ignore.
Even just quietly standing there, but also like a mountain peak, knowing that not so good to conquer, but can not help but want to climb over.
Such a man, how many women should be attracted to him?
“Brother-in-law!” Lewis Brown stepped forward and shook the man’s hand.
“Congratulations.” Neal Williams nodded lightly, his charming lips curled in a light smile.
“Thanks. By the way, I’d like to introduce you to–” Lewis Brown turned slightly sideways, pulling Andrea Jones to her feet. Her eyes, still obsessed with the strange man, were tugged by Lewis Brown before she snapped back to attention.
“Andrea, call your brother-in-law.” Lewis Brown said.
Neal Williams’ eyes, at this moment is also looking over. The first time I looked at the small face in front of me, he froze for a moment, his deep eyes crossed a dark amazement, the eyes deepened.
Their eyes met each other in the air, and neither of them looked back for a few moments.
Neal Williams, naturally, because of her face. He was so shocked! The person he thought he would never meet again in his life, now, he was just so peaceful in front of his eyes.
Six years have passed, and now she is no longer the same little girl, yet, it seems to be no different from the past. How did she spend these six years?
And Andrea Jones because of the look in his eyes. Was it his own illusion? Why did he look at himself as if they were supposed to know each other?
“Andrea?” the atmosphere is a little strange, Lewis Brown called low. andrea jones then realized his rudeness, curb the heart of the strange feeling, busy averted his eyes, a slight smile: “hello.”
The man also slid his eyes away at the same time. A shallow nod, gaze light as a clear spring, slightly detached, as if the amazement just now is only her illusion.
“Neal Williams,” he introduced himself simply.
Andrea Jones arched her eyebrows, “Just call me Andrea Jones.”
Andrea Jones? That’s her name …
The name, it seems to be somewhat familiar.
Neal Williams was silent for a moment.
Lewis Brown asked with a smile on the side, “Does brother-in-law know Andrea Zi ah? Just look at brother-in-law you stare at Andrea’s eyes, seems quite amazed feeling.”
Hearing Lewis Brown say that, Andrea Jones also can’t help but look at Neal Williams again, clear water eyes reflecting the same curiosity as Lewis Brown. Obviously, that was not just an illusion.
