“It won’t happen, don’t think about it.” She couldn’t agree with her sister’s words.
Although Neal Williams insisted on sending himself back, but he has a fiancée! Moreover, he is also Lewis Brown’s brother-in-law!
Looking at Andrea Jones’ innocent look, Sammy Jones couldn’t help but laugh.
Ripped off the mask and threw it in the trash, holding the fine lower jaw, beautiful eyes blinking and gazing at Andrea Jones, seriously collecting information, “Come, talk to sister about the conditions of this man.”
Taking a sip of soup, Andrea Jones was helpless, “Sis, it’s really not what you think. Besides, I’ve got Lewis Brown …”
“You stop it!” Speaking of Lewis Brown, Sammy Jones looked disbelieving, “You don’t even look at Lewis Brown’s performance now. Since he stood us up that day, has he given us an explanation? I really doubt that he is sincere to you or not.”
“Sister, don’t be angry. He was temporarily picking up his sister from the airport that day.” Andrea Jones was busy putting in a good word for Lewis Brown.
Sammy Jones grunted, “Even if it’s to pick up his sister, it shouldn’t be a whole day without hearing your calls, right? You didn’t even have the time to say so beforehand?”
It’s not that Andrea Jones didn’t think about it and didn’t mind. But the explanation he gave himself was – “He said the phone was on silent that day and he didn’t hear me call.”
Sammy Jones grunted and gave her a look, “Keep your eyes peeled, that’s the only kind of excuse you can use to coax the kids!”
She didn’t say another word.
She does not know that this reason is not a reason at all. However, she was so worried about him that day that when she saw him well afterwards, she simply didn’t have the heart to think about anything else with him.
…
Andrea Jones did not sleep well that night.
The words of Sammy Jones, who told her to watch out for Lewis Brown, echoed in her mind over and over again, pulling at her heart. It was hard to close her eyes and try to sleep, but the images of her and Neal Williams at the office came back uncontrollably, haunting her and making her mind more and more confused.
The next day, I went to work with two dark circles directly under my eyes.
When he meets Neal Williams at the office, he is still the same high and mighty boss. He seems to have forgotten all about last night’s incident. When facing her, he was as indifferent and serious as he was to every ordinary employee.
His detachment, in turn, made Andrea Jones’ hanging heart drop and breathe a long sigh of relief. Apparently, it was her sister who thought too much.
She was looking down at her work when there was a tap on her desk. Zoey Baker, who was still at her post, asked her, “Miss Brown will be here in a few minutes. What kind of drinks does she like, remember?”
“Miss Brown?” she froze for a moment.
Zoey Baker, “Mr. Williams’ fiancée, Miss Penny Brown! I showed you her profile and photos, and you didn’t take note of them? This is the most basic duty of a secretary, do I need to remind you again?”
“No, no!” Andrea Jones shook her head and stood up, “I’ve got it all down. Andrea Jones shook her head repeatedly and stood up, “I’ve got it all written down, Miss Brown doesn’t drink coffee and prefers tomato juice. I’ll be right back.”
“Hmm.” Zoey Baker then nodded with total satisfaction, “Go ahead.”
…
Andrea Jones stood in front of the juicer, watching in awe as the red liquid tumbled through the machine.
“You’ve got some serious skills. It’s not enough to seduce Mr. Miller, but to mess with Mr. Williams?” Olivia Scott’s voice sounded behind her, not without sarcasm, “Honestly, Andrea Jones, what exactly does Mr. Williams see in you that makes you sit in the secretary’s seat for no reason? What did Mr. Williams see in you that allowed you to sit in the secretary’s chair for no reason?”
Speaking of which, Olivia Scott is still gnashing her teeth in anger.
The whole company thought that after Zoey Baker left, the secretary position was hers. Although Mr. Williams never let slip, but even Zoey Baker said so, then this matter is also considered eight or nine is not far from the truth. He has even packed up his things, just waiting to move the office. But then, halfway there is such a bite! And also their own thorn in the side! This is simply inexcusable.
“About that, I’m actually struggling with it.” Andrea Jones turned to Olivia Scott and looked at her calmly, “Why don’t you ask Mr. Williams for me?”
Olivia Scott choked on her words, followed by a cold snort, “Now that Mr. Williams’ fiancée is back, what else do you think you can play up?”
By now the tomato juice was ready, and Andrea Jones didn’t reply to Olivia Scott’s words, only turning sideways to pour it out.
Ignored again!
Olivia Scott was so angry that she grabbed her arm, and Andrea Jones didn’t see her coming, so she couldn’t get a firm grip on her hand and spilled most of the hot tomato juice onto the back of it.
The snow-white skin was immediately burnt bright red, and with a cry of pain, Andrea Jones gave Olivia Scott a stare and immediately turned on the tap to rinse the injury.
A little vindicated by her stare, Olivia Scott coughed dryly, then snorted reluctantly the next second, “Serves you right!”
She said, she arrogantly raised her head to leave, walked to the door, and suddenly stopped to look back at Andrea Jones, laughing: “Andrea Jones, you say, if I later told Miss Brown you these seducing man tactics, you say, you this secretary is still improper to continue?”
Olivia Scott’s phrase ‘seducing men’ made Andrea Jones frown. Turning off the tap, she turned back patiently, “So, in your opinion, Mr. Williams is such an insightless and opinionated LEADER?”
“When did you … I thought that?” Olivia Scott glared in exasperation, her temperament immediately taking over.
Andrea Jones didn’t have time to mess with her anymore, so she swept up the mess on the floor and hastily poured the tomato juice to avoid Olivia Scott, and walked out.
…
As he walked out of the pantry, Neal Williams was coming out of the president’s office with papers in hand.
When their eyes accidentally collided, Andrea Jones said a quick hello, avoiding suspicion and averting her eyes as she thought of the words Olivia Scott had just denigrated her.
Neal Williams’ eyes wandered over the tomato juice in her hand, and then, for a brief moment, paused lightly on the back of her hand.
But, just for a second.
“Send the tomato juice to the office.” As if not noticing anything, he commanded in a deep voice.
Andrea Jones responded, ready to go, but heard his voice again, “Is there any sugar in the pantry?”
She turned around and his eyes were on Olivia Scott, who had followed herself out.
“Yes, Mr. Williams!” Olivia Scott immediately nodded eagerly.
“Well, make me a bowl of cold sugar water, and hurry up!”
“Okay, right away.” Olivia Scott said, and re-entered the pantry.
Neal Williams had already taken the file and walked towards Zoey Baker’s office as if nothing had happened, the whole time, without even looking at Andrea Jones again.
Standing alone with the tomato juice in her hand, Andrea Jones was a bit confused. Looking down at the back of her red hand, her fingers trembled slightly, she bit her lower lip and walked towards her office.
Maybe …
Is it that you think too much?
He, couldn’t possibly notice it, could he? After all, they are actually just two unrelated people.
…
Setting the tomato juice on the low table in her office, Andrea Jones wonders why she didn’t leave immediately.
She, what is she waiting for?
Could it be, waiting for his bowl of sugar water?
No! This is unbelievable!
I don’t dare to think about it anymore, but my heart is in turmoil. Taking a deep breath, Andrea Jones walked quickly outside, her pace a bit chaotic.
Only when the hand was on the door handle, the heavy door was pushed open from the outside.
The man’s strong scent rushed into his nose, and the two almost collided with each other. The two of them almost collided. Stunned, Andrea Jones took a big step back and kept an uneasy distance from him.
Apparently, her reaction was a bit too much, and Neal Williams’ suspicious look stared at her for a long time.
The deep pools of eyes were filled with ripples that made her panic. The line of lips slightly drops, the voice is vaguely cool: “So fond of avoiding me?”
“I … am not.” Poked in the heart, the heart is so weak that the mouth is open.
Giving her a sullen look, Neal Williams silently closed the door, carrying Olivia Scott’s sugar water in his other hand.
“Come and sit down.” Gesturing to the couch to one side, he instructed her, setting the sugar water aside next to the tomato juice.
“Oh.” She looked at him with a bit of a handful, and meekly went over and sat down.
Neal Williams gestured to her hand, his lower jaw gestured to the glass of water. Seeing her still dazed, his lips twitched, “Want me to help you?”
“Huh?”
Without waiting for her to understand, Neal Williams knelt down and naturally grabbed her hand and dipped it into the sugar water.
Warm fingertips, touching her skin, she uncontrollably remembered the feeling of his fingers floating on her wrist last night.
The tip of the heart trembled, and the small face immediately rose red. Uneasy to break away from his hand, a soft voice: “I’ll do it myself.”
Neal Williams is crouching, and her line of sight is just about flush. Raise your eyes, you can clearly see her eyelashes hanging down, one by one, like the wings of a butterfly, lightly fluttering more than.
The flush on the small face, has haloed to the root of the ear. The snow-white ears, lined with more and more crystal clear, like lustrous pearls.
Andrea Jones…
A girl who exists just like a crystal.
Even though he knew it was wrong, he couldn’t help but imagine how she looked shy in the darkness that day six years ago.
Thinking about this, the body can’t help but tighten up, even the throat is a little tight.
He admitted that he had never forgotten a moment of that day, any little detail, even the softness of her lips, and would not even be able to resist looking back on it, especially recently.
Even though, for the past six years, he has never lacked a woman in his life.
“What’s wrong?” As if sensing that something was wrong with him, Andrea Jones asked softly with a sideways glance.
Her clean eyes looked over, to the chagrin of Neal Williams.
His thoughts now looked both dirty and damned against her, as if he had blasphemed her.
Coughing awkwardly, he stood up, “Is it still valid to dip in sugar water, now?”
Tai was at ease. Got up again and walked to the desk to get the cotton swabs and the burn cream left earlier.
“Well … maybe it works.” Actually, she wasn’t sure.
Only, she felt that the back of her hand now seems to be less painful …
Until this moment, she still finds it unbelievable. She didn’t say anything, and he only skimmed lightly, and already took in her injuries.
Neal Williams sat down close to her, and she dried the water on her hands with a paper towel. He didn’t even look up when he was about to take the swabs and medicine, “I’ll do it. Give me your hand.”
Andrea Jones looked at him, her lips twitched, and was just about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the office door.
“Mr. Williams, Miss Brown has arrived!”
Andrea Jones immediately returned to her senses and subconsciously withdrew the ointment and cotton swabs from his hand and hid them in her hand .
Standing up, she took two steps back, “Then … I’ll go out first.”
Neal Williams looked at her twice and let out a nasal ‘hmm’ before raising his voice and instructing Zoey Baker, “Send her in.”
Before Andrea Jones could walk out, Penny Brown had already pushed the door in.
“Andrea?”
“Miss Brown,” Andrea Jones greeted, not knowing what she was feeling, but the words of explanation came out, “I brought you the tomato juice, it’s sitting there, I hope you like it.”
