“Andrea!”
Lewis Brown saw her and waved at her.
This time, the eyes that had gathered on him fell on Andrea Jones.
Olivia Scott happened to be pushing her way out of the revolving door and stood next to Andrea Jones, catching a glimpse of the dazzling man.
“He’s your friend?” Olivia Scott asked Andrea Jones, with some resignation on her face.
How come all the men who are somewhat related to Andrea Jones are so good?
Andrea Jones looked at her sideways, and, slightly guessing what she was thinking, said, “Boyfriend.”
She admitted that she said that on purpose.
The word ‘boyfriend’ irritated Olivia Scott, who looked Andrea Jones over from top to bottom, frowned, and ‘tsked’ twice, “He’s got a bad eye. He’s got a really bad eye.”
Andrea Jones was not angry, but found her a little funny.
Olivia Scott gave a mocking laugh, “Does your boyfriend know about your previous gang rape?”
Olivia Scott’s voice was not very loud, and it was the end of the day, so the crowd was noisy, so people didn’t hear her clearly. However, the words were like a sharp sword, piercing her heart once again.
Taking a deep breath, she turned back around and looked coldly at Olivia Scott, “What do you really want?”
Olivia Scott is more satisfied with the way she looks now than she is with the smugness she just felt. Raising an eyebrow, she looked far away from Lewis Brown before returning her gaze to Andrea Jones, saying leisurely: “Don’t be so nervous, because we are old classmates, I will keep your secret for now. But shouldn’t there be no secrets between lovers? It’s not right to hide such a big thing from your boyfriend.”
With that, and without waiting for Andrea Jones to say anything else, Olivia Scott walks away. As she passed Lewis Brown, she gave him a knowing smile, brimming with flavor.
Lewis Brown just assumed she was Andrea Jones’ colleague and responded with a polite nod.

Andrea Jones had just gotten into her car when Neal Williams and Garret Miller came out of the office.
“Eh, that’s Lewis Brown’s car, right? What’s he doing here?” Garret Miller bumped Neal Williams’ shoulder and nudged toward the fading Maybach.
Looking over with deep eyes, Neal Williams’ eyes sank slightly. He quickly averted his eyes, “Not going to get your clothes? Let’s go.”
Without waiting for Garret Miller to say anything else, he had already gotten into Marshall Johnson’s car parked in front of the door.

On the way, Lewis Brown looked at Andrea Jones several times, but she was completely out of it, not knowing what she was thinking. Even when he spoke to her, she did not answer.
“Andrea, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?” Lewis Brown looked at her miserable white face with worry.
Andrea Jones then turned her head to meet Lewis Brown’s worried look and her heart tightened as she shook her head, “I’m fine. It’s probably because I’ve been working too much lately and I’m a little out of sorts.”
Lewis Brown laughed a little and relieved her, “Brother-in-law is usually very demanding at work, and now that you’re his secretary, it’s inevitable that you’ll work a little harder.”
Probe her hand, take it and wrap it tightly.
“Relax, don’t push yourself too hard.”
He grabbed just the hand he had burned, and Andrea Jones only felt the pain, but, did not struggle.
Looking up at Lewis Brown, she couldn’t help but wonder if he would still be there for her like he is now, if he knew about her unpleasant past.
She found that for this, she was not at all sure of herself.

Haute Couture Studio.
Neal Williams sat bored on the sofa and flipped through a book of pictures.
Turned two pages, the sight abruptly stopped.
On the atlas was a snow-white gown.
Skirt veil fluttering, the skirt is decorated with pure crystal tassels, just like the curtain of prosperous dream. Snow-white satin, spotless, like the slow blooming of the morning sun in spring.
The eyes floated down, the mind could not help but float a slender figure.
Before he could say anything, he heard a smart assistant come over and ask, “Mr. Williams, are you picking out a gift for any lady? This dress is a new product that we just came out, only one of them.”
“Is that so?” Neal Williams only spat out these two words lightly, for a moment, leaving the other side unable to pinpoint what he meant.
Garret Miller was buttoning up his shirt when he heard their conversation and couldn’t help but probe over. Looking at the atlas, he raised his eyebrows in awe, “Good eye. However, Penny Brown’s style is not really this one. She needs to be more sexy to fit in.”
Neal Williams ignored it and simply closed the atlas and ordered categorically, “Wrap this dress up and give me paper and a pen.”
“Yes, Mr. Williams, you have a great eye! Your fiancée will look great in it!”
“Come on, do something.” He clearly didn’t appreciate it.
Accepting the paper and pen handed to him, Neal Williams quickly wrote a string of addresses and recipients, “Just send it in.”
“Definitely.”
Neal Williams signed the order and Garret Miller came up to him and scowled at him with a gossipy look on his face, “Not for Penny Brown?”
He did not look up, frankly, “She has too many dresses to wear, when do I need to worry about it?”
“That’s true. But …” Garret Miller narrowed his eyes at Neal Williams, “I can really curious, in the end, what kind of woman can call our always clear-headed Mr. Williams are on this kind of heart? ”
Neal Williams ignored him and simply put down his pen and asked, “Going or not?”
“Who the hell is it?” Garret Miller bumped his shoulder, “Just say it if you think I’m a brother.”
Glancing at Garret Miller, Neal Williams’ thin lips pursed, “You’re overthinking it, it’s not an upshot, it’s just a compensation.”
“Compensation?” Garret Miller ‘cut’, intuitively unconvinced, “Lies to hell.”
“Believe it or not.” Neal Williams shrugged unconcernedly.
And indeed …
Was it really compensation? He himself was not sure, “Ah! I see. You didn’t send this dress to her, did you?” Garret Miller, as an afterthought, snapped to attention, “Andrea Jones? Garret Miller, as an afterthought, snapped to attention, “Andrea Jones? You sent it to Andrea Jones, am I right?”
Neal Williams defaults, and the answer is non-committal.
“Ha, I told you that you got her as a secretary for impure purposes!”

Recently, the company is very busy up and down, but, everyone’s emotions are unusually high, because the annual meeting is approaching.
At the annual meeting, hundreds and thousands of employees of the company get together to hold a rare feast of recognition and rejoicing, which all call for eager anticipation.
“So much to look forward to! The annual meeting is finally coming!” Michelle Collins in the secretary’s office had a longing look on her face, “Mr. Miller even asked me to dance last year, I wonder if I’ll be asked again this year.”
“Mr. Miller said the invitees are different every year, so don’t fantasize.” Young Moore, the young assistant, crushed her dreams.
“Hey, it’s too bad. The ball was too short, and it was over before I could reminisce. No matter, I must dress more stunningly this year, maybe Mr. Williams will also follow Mr. Miller’s proclivity and invite us to dance, don’t you think so?”
“Mr. Williams has Miss Brown . Miss Brown will not be absent this time. Don’t you think so, Andrea?”
Being suddenly called by name, Andrea Jones looked up and nodded haphazardly, “Maybe. They’re so close, Miss Brown wouldn’t not accompany Mr. Williams.”
Andrea Jones couldn’t help but think about the scene of them sleeping together again. Shaking her head, she tried very hard to shake that image out.
“Yeah oh, what a disappointment.” Michelle Collins wilted and slumped on the table.
“Isn’t there still Wei?” Young Moore reminded.
Michelle Collins nudged her mouth, “It’s not certain that Wei will return. Besides, do you think it’s possible that Wei’s character as a perpetual iceberg would ask anyone to dance?”
“That’s true.” Young Moore nods.
They said Wei, until now Andrea Jones has not met once. However, occasionally from everyone’s mouth to hear a few words, can also guess, his style is certainly not inferior to the company’s two on the right.
“By the way, are you all ready for your dresses? I’ve ordered a DIOR one. Man, I’m throwing it all up in two months’ salary!” Young Moore mentioned still a little stifled, handed his phone to Andrea Jones and Michelle Collins, “You guys give me a quick reference to see how the dress looks, I took a sneaky picture.”
“Not bad, it suits you.” Michelle Collins praised from the bottom of her heart.
“Well, I think it’s nice too.” Andrea Jones laughed, “Wearing something like that maybe Mr. Miller will invite you.”
Young Moore hemmed and hawed, “You wouldn’t be jealous if I was really invited, would you?”
Here we go again!
Andrea Jones had a headache and once again shook her head categorically, “There’s really nothing going on with me and Mr. Miller. I actually already have a boyfriend, and besides, he’ll be accompanying me at this annual meeting.”
“Really?”
“Of course, no kidding!” Andrea Jones immediately assured.
Her serious look made Young Moore and Michelle Collins laugh. Although the office likes the rumors to spread fast and furious, but, people only hear more and believe less.
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Young Moore couldn’t help but be a little worried.
Andrea Jones honestly said, “I didn’t know it was going to be this grand before, so I haven’t prepared my dress until now.”
“Then you have to hurry, the annual meeting is tomorrow night, it’s too late if you don’t get ready now.” Michelle Collins said.
Andrea Jones didn’t care, Sammy Jones had plenty of dresses in her closet, so she could just go back tonight and pick one that suited her. Anyway, she doesn’t have to compete and expect Garret Miller to invite her as a date, so she can just wear whatever she wants.
“Excuse me, which one is Andrea JonesMiss Jones?” was thinking, when an unfamiliar voice rang out from the door of the secretary’s office.
At once, everyone looked at the sound.
At the door stood a young girl, wearing a warm smile, holding an extremely delicate pink gift box. The gift box was wrapped in purple lace, looking luxurious and reserved.
Andrea Jones stood up, “It’s me, can I help you?”
“Here are your goods, please sign for them.”
“Mine?” Andrea Jones pointed at herself.
Seeing the other party nod, she suspiciously walked over and took the gift box. When she saw the word “Andrea Jones” clearly written on it, she signed it with questions.
Did not open it immediately, just turned over and over to survey the gift box.
“Andrea, open it up and take a look! Such a beautiful box, what’s inside must be beautiful too!”
“That’s it. Quickly see what it is!”
Olivia Scott, sitting in her cubicle, saw Andrea Jones surrounded by people and she spoke coolly, “Be careful, it might be a bomb!”
Andrea Jones looked back at Olivia Scott and said nothing. Following that, the box was opened curiously at the encouragement of everyone.
“Wow … is beautiful!”
“I know this brand, it’s Anli’s own handwriting! Now many first-tier stars are wearing their dresses!”
“And matching jewelry oh!”
“God, I’m so jealous! Andrea-chan, you have a boyfriend like this is really sweet!”
“This gown is so beautiful. It’s over, it’s over, this time it’s definitely Andrea sub to be invited by Mr. Miller!”
“Yes, Olivia Scott, come and have a look too.” In the spirit of sharing good things together, the crowd was busy waving at Olivia Scott.
Olivia Scott sat there, blue in the face.
