Penny Brown wore a haute couture butterfly dress today, and her fluffy curls were tied casually with a silk scarf of the same color, draped over her thin back. The scarf moved with her, flying in the air, like a spring rainbow. Set against the delicate makeup, her whole person is a stunning landscape.
She is a fashion magazine. Because of her work, never, she is always at the forefront of fashion, and every part of the surface has to be finely crafted.
Just stand in front of Andrea Jones, let Andrea Jones are looking a little unable to move their eyes.
Neal Williams’ fiancée …
Lewis Brown’s sister …
Sure enough, it is beautiful to be impeccable.
“Still so polite to me? Last time, I told you to call me sister.” Penny Brown laughs at Andrea Jones and takes her hand naturally, “Call me sister now. Call me sister, and then, like Lewis Brown, call Neal brother-in-law.”
With that, her eyes fell to Neal Williams with a bit of mischief in them.
Andrea Jones looked at Neal Williams for a moment, and then subconsciously. He had his hands in his pockets and was looking straight down at her, his deep, dark eyes seemingly inquisitive.
Andrea Jones could not discern his intentions and drew back to look at Penny Brown again, a little confused.
Penny Brown, however, was full of anticipation.
“Sister.” Not tolerating her disappointment, Andrea Jones finally called out carefully, lips moved, ‘brother-in-law’ two words, in the end or some difficult to export.
Penny Brown let go of her and took Neal Williams’ arm with a smile, “What about your brother-in-law? You’re not going to call him that?”
“Sister … brother-in-law …” two words, twisted like squeezing toothpaste.
Neal Williams’ face remained unchanged, but he gave Andrea Jones a heavy stare, a look so deep that it called her a little confused.
Hearing her two names, Penny Brown was so satisfied that she naturally didn’t notice anything wrong between them. Just hold Neal Williams’ arm, laugh, “Andrea called you ‘brother-in-law’, from now on you can’t bully her at work, and you have to give her a good lift. Okay?”
Neal Williams did not look well and did not return her words, but just looked at Andrea Jones who was standing there a little embarrassed, “Go out and get busy!”
“Oh … well.” Quietly squeezing the burn cream in her hand, Andrea Jones was about to leave when she heard a soft cry from Penny Brown behind her, “How did you get this wound? So long, it must be very painful, right?”
Heart jumped, Andrea Jones footsteps stopped, subconsciously turned back.
Neal Williams’ eyes were cast across the air towards her, slyly, seemingly teasing and deliberate, “It’s okay, it’s just a scratch from a kitten.”
“Kittens?” Penny Brown seemed to find it strange, “Where did the kittens come from? Don’t you hate to get your hands on those little pets?”
“It was a little wildcat that came out in the middle of the night.” Touching the corner of his lips, seeing someone’s slightly red ears, he added, not lightly, “Fierce, it is not unexpected to be scratched.”
The voice, slightly lower, inexplicably becomes somewhat ambiguous.
There is a wonderful factor that keeps spreading and expanding in the air …
One by one, it hit Andrea Jones’ heart.
“So, is there a rabies vaccination?” Penny Brown was blissfully unaware. The only people who could relate were the two people involved.
“No need. It’s just a small claw, it doesn’t hurt too bad.” Neal Williams’ eyes still lingered on Andrea Jones’ face in a different way.
She blushed and felt more and more weak, not daring to meet his eyes again, only lowering her head and hurriedly pulling open the door and leaving the office.
Walking out, that heart in the chest still beats more than once.
This feeling makes her panic and uneasy.
What is wrong with myself? Why, everything has suddenly become so strange? It seems like … something that is gradually derailing …
But …
This is very uncalled for!
I don’t dare to think deeper, stroking my chest, taking a deep breath, trying to smooth out the restlessness of the mind. The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Seeing the number displayed on it, she calmed down at once.
Pulled his lips and raised a smile before picking the phone up.
“Lewis Brown,” said the man listening to the phone as he headed for his cubicle.
You can’t think about it anymore, everything should go back to normal. She is Lewis Brown’s girlfriend, the only one who should and can think about is him.
“Are you working late tonight?”
“Well, you can take it home and make it just as well.” The thought of being left alone at work again daunted Andrea Jones a little.
“Then when you get off work, I’ll pick you up today.”
Andrea Jones smiled faintly, her heart slightly sweet, “Then I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up the phone and putting down the burn ointment in her hand, Andrea Jones looked back at the closed door of the president’s office before turning back to apply the ointment with a cotton swab.
The refreshing cool sensation that diffuses over the injury is much more comfortable.
…
At noon, I went back to the office after having lunch with my colleagues. Just sit down, Zoey Baker’s phone has dialed over, “Andrea, you go to the office to clean up. It’s been so long, Mr. Williams and the others should have finished their meal. Also, let Mr. Williams look over the paperwork you were given this morning.”
“Oh, okay.”
Putting down the phone, Andrea Jones took the file and walked towards the president’s office. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, but no voice answered her.
After some hesitation, he unscrewed the lock and went in.
Strangely enough, there was no one in the office at the moment. On the low table, there are some wrecks from the meal.
Looking around the room, she found the door to the lounge was open. Without much thought, she took the papers and went over.
The door was open.
She stood at the door and looked in, just about to open her mouth to call someone, but a glance at the picture in the lounge, suddenly, all the voices were blocked in the throat, not a word could come out.
He and Penny Brown are lying together in a soft, large bed.
Penny Brown curled up in his broad arms like a child. His eyes were also originally closed, but he was so alert that even though she was just standing in the doorway without saying anything, he had already opened them.
The two people’s eyes, colliding in the air.
He was slightly surprised.
She was also confused for a moment. Following that, she immediately moved her lips and awkwardly said ‘sorry’ with her lips, hurriedly closed the door and turned to go out.
The door handle was cool and refreshing, stinging her palm.
Take a deep breath, she put the file on his desk, and only then squatted down to clean up the mess on the low table.
You are so stupid!
Since they were in the lounge, of course they were doing something that couples should do, why did she still rush in so awkwardly?
There is no one more stupid and uneducated than her!!!
Andrea Jones cursed herself and moved her hands faster. When she heard the door open in the lounge, she took the empty glass from the low table and got up to leave.
Head always low, even greeting, not even intend to play.
“Andrea Jones!” called Neal Williams, narrowing his eyes at her somewhat stiffened back. The corners of her lips, unconsciously, floated up.
Shaking the glass for a moment, Andrea Jones turned around. With a distant, professional smile on her small face, “I’m sorry, Mr. Williams. I didn’t mean to disturb you …”
Her smile at the moment made him feel prickly for no reason.
Looking at her soberly, he simply said succinctly, “It’s not what you think.”
Plain, uneventful.
Yet it is clearly explained.
As for, why to explain, even he himself did not get too clear.
Andrea Jones looked at him in a daze, and then, immediately turned away his eyes to go, some embarrassed look, “I … did not think what it was like. It’s the president’s business, and it has nothing to do with me.”
Unrelated?
Neal Williams narrowed his eyes slightly. She was telling the truth, wasn’t she? So, his explanation just now, ridiculous to the extreme.
“I’m bringing in the paperwork and cleaning up a little.” Andrea Jones’ eyes deliberately fell on the desk, “That’s the paperwork sent up from the finance department, I put it there, please look through it.”
Neal Williams didn’t say anything, just stared at her, his eyes deep and slightly cooler.
The door to the lounge was pushed open again and Penny Brown came out with a confused look on her face, obviously not fully awake.
Seeing this, Andrea Jones was busy whispering, “Then I’ll go out and come back later to pick up the files.”
He nodded to Penny Brown and walked out of the office in silence, carrying the garbage bag.
Throwing away the garbage, Andrea Jones exhaled, exhaling all the depression that was weighing down her chest.
It seems that this is much easier.
…
After Andrea Jones left, Penny Brown stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Neal Williams’ waist, her pretty face against his back, “How did you wake up?”
The tone is lazy and sleepy.
Neal Williams parted her hands, “I thought you’d be long gone.”
“I wanted to leave, but my assistant called and said there was nothing going on this afternoon, so I slept in your arms for a while.” Penny Brown smoothed her hair and looked at him, “You don’t blame me, do you?”
Neal Williams buttoned up his shirt and didn’t return her words, just gave her a light look, “I’ll have Marshall Johnson send you away.”
Penny Brown leaned over and squeezed his hand, “No, I want to stay with you.”
Neal Williams’ eyes froze and he took her hand away.
She wrapped her arms around his wrists again, “Neal, I just got back! I just want to be around you a little longer.”
He paused for a moment and turned his face to look at her, “Penny Brown, this is my job!”
“I won’t argue with you, I promise!”
In fact, she, Penny Brown, has never been one to stalk people. But, only in front of him is different …
With this man, she is forever taking the initiative, taking the initiative, and taking the initiative again.
But how long can she hold on alone with such an initiative?
“Don’t be capricious.” Penny Brown knew that this was a sign that he was losing his patience.
Business always comes first for him. No, perhaps I should say, she was never first for him.
She was always curious if there would really be that one woman in the world that would allow him to leave everything behind.
Every time she thought of this, it always made her feel frightened.
“Neal, I haven’t had a chance to see my grandparents this time when I came back. I know you are very busy with work, but I still hope you can take me to see their old folks.” Penny Brown looked at Neal Williams, not waiting for him to respond, she added: “This time I came back, Mom and Dad mean to hope that I can settle down a bit in the future. They mean … want to talk to your parents about our wedding.”
When he said the last sentence, Penny Brown paused slightly and looked tentatively at Neal Williams’ expression.
Heart, tighten.
No surprise, Neal Williams’ attitude towards the engagement remains as bland as ever.
“I’ll arrange it again.” In response to her long list of requests, there couldn’t have been more simple than five words. That said, without waiting for Penny Brown to say anything else, Neal Williams had already dialed Marshall Johnson.
Penny Brown’s heart was slightly cold as she looked at his side face with fascination.
Is it that he has no heart, or is he really too sensible to know what love is?
…
By the end of the day, Lewis Brown was already waiting at the door.
Through the glass revolving door, Andrea Jones looks on from afar.
Lewis Brown was leaning against the Maybach, his fine hair half-hiding his noble cheeks in the spring breeze. He had done nothing, yet he had already attracted a group of young girls who came and went.
Andrea Jones couldn’t help but smile, and she couldn’t hide her pride. This was her boyfriend! So good, so good a man!
