Andrea Jones was embarrassed and embarrassed , and Brittany Adams gave her an embarrassed look and said righteously, “I’ll wait for the next one with you.”
“No, it’s time to be late for the next one, which is another 10 minutes or so.” Andrea Jones didn’t want to hold her up and stepped out of the elevator herself, “Go ahead and punch in, it’s okay with me.”
Brittany Adams was a newcomer and naturally didn’t dare to be late, so she just had to go up first.
The elevator door closed, and Andrea Jones stood a little embarrassed. She felt that there were hot eyes staring at her from behind, which made her afraid to turn around. Looking at the time, she gritted her teeth and prepared to climb the stairs.
Consider it good exercise!
“You’re not going to take the stairs, are you?” Before he could walk out, his back collar was suddenly hooked with his fingers.
She turned around and Garret Miller was hooking her towards the special elevator. She was embarrassed, “Mr. Miller …”
“Don’t be embarrassed, this is as a reward for your performance yesterday.” Without giving Andrea Jones a chance to refuse, Garret Miller had already pushed her into the elevator.
At this moment, in the elevator, there is another person standing. He stood there in silence, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, seeing them enter, he raised his hand and silently pressed the floor.
Andrea Jones bit her lip or nodded her head and gave a symbolic greeting, “Mr. Williams…”
“Hmm.” Neal Williams didn’t even bother to open his lips, responding more like a perfunctory response.
What exactly happened between these two yesterday?
Garret Miller’s suspicious eyes darted back and forth between the two, making Andrea Jones feel more and more uncomfortable, so confused that she didn’t even know where to put her hands. In the enclosed space, she couldn’t escape, and could only tuck herself more tightly into a corner.
Neal Williams, on the other hand, remained calm and unchanged.
“I mean, don’t you two want to say something?” Such an atmosphere made even Garret Miller feel awkward.
Andrea Jones bit her lip without speaking, and Neal Williams suddenly bent his head and lowered his eyes to look at her.
The sight cast over, called her body a tense, subconsciously back a step, will be their entire body against the elevator wall.
Seemingly dissatisfied with her reaction, Neal Williams’ eyes sank slightly, with a dark current in them, “You’re avoiding me?”
Not expecting him to ask this question directly, Andrea Jones was stunned for a moment, and when she met his probing eyes, she quickly looked away again, bit her lip and shook her head, “No!”
“You bullying my people?” Garret Miller punched Neal Williams in the chest with the look of someone who was going to do it for her.
“No, Mr. Miller,” Andrea Jones took it seriously and was busy explaining seriously.
Garret Miller lost his smile.
Without a word, Neal Williams reached out and pressed the number ‘6’. ‘Ding’ a sound, the elevator doors quickly opened, he turned his face to look at Andrea Jones, concise: “Come down with me.”
The 6th floor is a warehouse, and there are no employees at this time.
Hearing his words, Andrea Jones froze in place.
Neal Williams had already taken a quick step outside, and he didn’t walk away, just propped himself up against the door and looked down at her.
The look, relaxed and unhurried, made Andrea Jones uncomfortable. What did he want?
“Get out. Don’t worry, he won’t eat you.” Seeing that the two were at a standstill, Garret Miller had to persuade Andrea Jones, who had seen all of Neal Williams’ worried looks yesterday.
After a moment’s hesitation, Andrea Jones stepped off the elevator.
The elevator doors closed and Garret Miller had disappeared. On the entire floor, Andrea Jones and Neal Williams were the only two people left. It was so quiet, she could even hear her own thumping heartbeat.
Neal Williams sunken steps into the warehouse, bent over the warehouse to look for documents, but left her to one side. Looking at that busy back, Andrea Jones beautiful eyebrows lightly frowned, “Mr. Williams, what do you have to say …”
“Andrea Jones, I’m making an exception to give you an interview so you can come here and do a good job.” Her words, suddenly interrupted, he looked up from the files. Across the rows of file shelves, those eyes as deep as the sea locked on her.
Andrea Jones did not know what he meant, and then straightened his back, “I have never been lazy, I work hard every day.”
Neal Williams grunted, “Really? That avoidant look you gave me just now, are you going to keep avoiding me?”
Andrea Jones didn’t say anything, and the answer was non-committal. At least, for now, she hadn’t figured out how to face him.
He looked slightly austere, drew the document he wanted, and forced Andrea Jones to follow him in a few steps, “In that case, how do you plan to work properly in the future? How will you report to me? The meeting also intend to avoid? If you really have so many taboos, do you want to continue to stay in IG!”
A series of pressing questions that called for breathlessness. That last one became increasingly harsh.
Andrea Jones was forced to take a step back and her slender body rested against the file shelf. He was so close that he blocked the space for her to move forward. The distance was so close that she was straining to breathe.
When I glanced up at him, I met his deep eyes tinged with light.
Her white earlobe, already faintly red.
The first words out of his mouth were, “Mr. Williams, please step back!”
She lowered her head, half-closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled a lot. Obviously, she felt extremely embarrassed, uncomfortable, and even nervous about being so close.
This, too, is because of that incident six years ago?
The throat is slightly tight, but Neal Williams did not immediately back away, but only a deep stare at her.
In the next instant, suddenly clasped her hand in his.
The large palm, firm and strong, startled Andrea Jones. She looked up, glared at him, and almost immediately jerked her hand back. Instead, he gripped it tighter and looked insistently at her tightly furrowed brow, “Andrea Jones, calm down and listen to me!”
The voice is low and strong, like a kind of magic, can stabilize the heart. Her frightened heart calmed down a little and her clear eyes looked straight at him.
“I won’t talk to a second person about what happened yesterday, including Lewis Brown.”
Andrea Jones didn’t say anything, just bit her lip until it turned white.
“And …” he paused for a moment, his eyes deepening, “don’t ever again just rip open a wound like a fool for the next person to see. This is not bravery, this is recklessness! You need to know that not everyone is a doctor who heals your wounds, and onlookers are likely to be more interested in rubbing salt into your wounds for you.”
She froze and looked at him. His words, blunt and cruel, yet Andrea Jones could hear the clear kindness.
In the deep eyes, there is a dark awning that she can not read, she tried very hard to catch a glimpse, but it was fleeting, calling her more and more confused.
“Let’s go!” Without waiting for her to say anything else, Neal Williams had let go of her. Grabbing the papers, he headed straight for the elevator.
Andrea Jones looked back down at her wrist. There, it was as if the heat still belonged to him.
Heart a palpitation, the next moment turned to follow quickly.
He stood in the elevator waiting for her. This time, she didn’t hide again and stood peacefully beside him.
Nor did he look at him, just squeezing the bag and gently spitting out two words, “Thank you.”
Neal Williams did not reply, only the corners of his lips curved out in a charming arc. Inexplicably, the atmosphere in the elevator suddenly became much more relaxed, Andrea Jones tense all night heart, to this moment also peacefully relaxed.
The situation, it seems, is not as bad as one would think. She, for that matter, was not slighted!
Thinking of something, his eyes suddenly fell on Neal Williams’ right hand and asked, “How’s your injury? How’s that ointment working?”
“Shouldn’t be too bad.” Neal Williams lifted his arm and looked at it, “I looked at it this morning and it’s better than yesterday.”
“That’s good.” Andrea Jones felt a little less guilty and sighed with relief, “It should be healing in a few days.”
“Hmm.” Neal Williams responded softly.
The two men stood in the elevator without another word.
It wasn’t until Andrea Jones reached the 16th floor that she politely bowed to Neal Williams and walked out first.
…
“Oh my God! Andrea, did you just come up from this elevator?” Brittany Adams was gasping for breath until this point as she squeezed down the other elevator.
More than 10 floors, more than 10 stops, but not as early as Andrea Jones arrived.
Andrea Jones laughed, “You’re all squeezed out of a layer of sweat, get in there and sit down and rest.”
Brittany Adams walked inside with her, “Don’t you dare change the subject! That’s a special elevator for the three bosses, how did you get up there?”
Andrea Jones just had to be honest, “Mr. Miller was too nice to see me late.”
Brittany Adams looked her up and down, smiled a little, and had a definite look on her face, “Mr. Miller must have taken a shine to you!”
“What the heck, don’t talk nonsense!” Andrea Jones snapped at her, practically rolling her eyes.
“I’m not talking nonsense. It was all over the office yesterday that Mr. Miller was all smiles for you and pulled you into his office to sit all afternoon, and everyone was watching!” Brittany Adams said excitedly, a face of envy.
Andrea Jones was completely speechless. Let Brittany Adams said so, she really do not know how to explain, afraid that she will be more and more black, she simply do not bother to defend again. The only thing she did was to aggravate Garret Miller, who was involved with herself for no reason at all.
Sitting back in the cubicle and packing up her things, she couldn’t help but think back to what Neal Williams had just said to herself.
Olivia Scott is undoubtedly the one who rubbed salt into her own wounds, and Neal Williams is not, but he will never be that doctor either.
Then …
Where is the man on the other end of the phone? A few simple words from him could put her in a soothing mood. Could he, by any chance, be the doctor?
…
On Sunday morning, Sammy Jones helped Charleen Davis pack the barbecue and a large bag of food and waited for Lewis Brown to pick them up. However, Lewis Brown’s phone was never connected, and he waited until almost noon, but Lewis Brown was nowhere to be found.
Sammy Jones is straightforward and has been waiting impatiently.
Disappointed to listen to the cold ‘beep’ on the other end of the phone, Andrea Jones is very difficult. Fortunately, temporary Klein Williams actually came to the rescue, carrying a large bag, driving his Jeep to lead everyone to the barbecue.
Because of Klein Williams in the fuss, Andrea Jones disappointment is somewhat washed away. However, as soon as the leisure time, the mind is full of Lewis Brown.
Temporary disappearance of such a thing has never happened before.
And, this time, there was no listening to the phone.
Why? Is something wrong?
A series of questions came out one after another. From disappointment, it gradually turned into endless worry.
Until nightfall, rushed home, and do not care about the whole day’s exertions, she grabbed the bag, then rushed out the door.
…
Andrea Jones took a taxi to Lewis Brown’s apartment. She was terrified and prayed the whole way that nothing would happen to him.
When she arrived, the aunt who cleaned the apartment happened to be there and the door was open.
The door to the apartment, open a crack. Still symbolically, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, and her aunt pushed it open and, seeing her, was busy smiling and greeting, “Miss Jones.”
“Is Lewis Brown here?” She anxiously probed inside to look. However, before she could see anyone inside, she could already hear the sound of moving laughter coming from the hall.
An unfamiliar, young woman’s voice.
“Stop it, be a good boy and sit down, come on.” After that, it was Lewis Brown’s voice. Still the same warm, but clearly something different, it seems, more tenderness …
