“No, I ate too much tonight.” Sammy Jones leaned his back on the glazed table and glanced at her, “What have you been up to, so late?”
“It’s just the boss’s trivialities.” Andrea Jones replied in a somewhat feeble manner.
Eyes rolling down, Sammy Jones looked at her searchingly, “Your boss bullying you?”
“… is not either.” Afraid of Sammy Jones to pursue the root of the question, Andrea Jones only dare to vaguely answer: “I am an employee well, just do things.”
Strangely enough, Sammy Jones actually did not see through her blinkers, but instead changed the subject with interest, “What kind of person is your boss? Well … I mean, the personality piece.”
“Personality?” Andrea Jones looked up at her sister curiously, “Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“Curious. Can’t you be curious?” Sammy Jones raised an eyebrow.
Turning the heat down a little, Andrea Jones tilted her head slightly in thought, “Personality … can be gentle at times, but at other times overbearing. Well … occasionally sassy, though, and occasionally hateful to the teeth.”
She thought about that night on the roof, and then tonight, that performance was a world away!
Andrea Jones smiled at times, frowned at others, and her expression was vivid and reflected in Sammy Jones’ eyes, making her slightly stunned for a moment.
“Andrea …,” she tugged on Andrea Jones’ hand.
“Hmm?” It was then that Andrea Jones drew back her thoughts.
“You … and your boss …,” Sammy Jones asked hesitantly.
“Don’t you be ridiculous!” Andrea Jones almost countered her words, “I even said I had Lewis Brown.”
She looked at Sammy Jones’ half-hearted expression, she took a secret breath and continued: “You don’t know yet, do you? My boss already has a fiancée, and, they are talking about marriage, the relationship is very good! Oh, his fiancée is Lewis Brown’s sister, Penny Brown.”
“That I know.” Sammy Jones said, with a dark look in his eyes.
“You knew that too?” Andrea Jones thought it odd.
Sammy Jones laughed a little and flicked Andrea Jones’ forehead, “Is it strange that I know that? Our law firm at least undertakes your company’s legal affairs, he is also my half-boss. Besides, I know he has a fiancée, so I’m here to remind you not to be attracted to him.”
“I wouldn’t.” Andrea Jones raised her lips, turned her head to ruffle her noodles, and snickered again, “Instead, just don’t fall for it. You shouldn’t have too many opportunities to deal with each other, should you?”
Sammy Jones laughed brightly, “No, I’m not sure I’m really attracted to him.”
“No, you don’t.” Andrea Jones pulled the noodles out and looked at her with a smile and ambiguous eyes, “You just met the girl of your dreams, how can you still be in the mood to look at other men? But how are you guys doing?”
Speaking of the girl of his dreams, Sammy Jones’ smile deepened and added a lot of tenderness to his face, “We’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Really?” Andrea Jones’ eyes glowed and she was happy for Sammy Jones, “So you’re still dawdling now, why don’t you hurry up and get your beauty sleep?”
“Not out to talk with you.”
“Hurry up and go to sleep, don’t mind me.”
“Well, I’m really asleep then.” With Andrea Jones’ glass of water, Sammy Jones only dared to take a light sip to moisten her lips. For fear of swelling tomorrow, she would never dare to drink water at night.
The corners of Andrea Jones’ lips lifted slightly as she watched her sister sleep happily, but her mood was still low.
After a moment of silence, he pulled out his phone and programmed a message to Neal Williams.
Now, he looked down and ate the noodles, but, at that end, he didn’t respond to himself.
…
The following day.
Andrea Jones walks into the office and enters the elevator to see Olivia Scott standing in the corner clutching her papers.
Two people on one floor, head up, head down. So, Andrea Jones nodded slightly to say hello.
“You look like you’re not looking well.” Olivia Scott was the first to speak.
“Yeah?” Andrea Jones touched her face, “Probably didn’t sleep well last night.”
Olivia Scott looked at her, pondered for a moment, and then said, as if without thinking, “What? You’re not breaking up, are you?”
Andrea Jones was uncomfortable talking about her personal business in front of so many people. So, she kept her lips closed and didn’t say anything.
“I guessed right?” Olivia Scott thought she was acquiescing and couldn’t help but gloat, “No wonder I haven’t seen him pick you up from the office in the past two days.”
The surrounding eyes look towards Andrea Jones, with sympathy and dark pleasure.
We are all in the same company, although we are not familiar with each other, but last time at the annual meeting have seen Andrea Jones outstanding style. Not only did she steal Mr. Miller’s first dance, but she also has the president of EF Financial as her boyfriend, so how can people not be jealous?
At the moment, I don’t know how many people are expecting them to break up!
Andrea Jones was just about to reply when the phone in her bag suddenly rang. Looking at the name flashing on the screen, she pondered slightly and picked it up and held it to her ear.
“Hey, Lewis Brown,” her voice was as low as it could be in a public place, but the entire elevator still heard it. olivia Scott’s face changed slightly.
“Already at the office?” Lewis Brown spoke from over there.
“Well, it just arrived.”
“I’ll pick you up after work, are you free?”
“Well, free.” Andrea Jones nodded without hesitation, “Then I’ll wait for you after work.”
“Good. Well … there’s something I want to talk to you about tonight.”
Andrea Jones couldn’t figure out what he wanted to say to herself, but the way things were going between them now, they really needed to sit down and talk for once. I don’t know when exactly they started to become a little bit different from each other.
“Then I’ll wait for you to come over.”
Olivia Scott gave her a heavy, resigned look. But, in the end, she closed her lips and said nothing more.
The people in the elevator, one after another, went out one by one. By the end, only Olivia Scott and Andrea Jones were left.
Olivia Scott took the first step out, and then suddenly turned back around and gave Andrea Jones a meaningful look, “Your boyfriend is so outstanding, you have to keep a close eye on him, or you might be tapped out if you’re not careful.”
Andrea Jones froze for a moment and wanted to say something, but Olivia Scott had already turned around and left with her head raised.
Looking at the back, Andrea Jones couldn’t help but frown gently.
Was she being paranoid? Why did she always feel that Olivia Scott’s words didn’t sound so simple?
Andrea Jones was looking down and counting the accounts when Zoey Baker came out of her office at a fast pace.
“Olivia Scott!”
As she gathered the things on the table, she opened her mouth to call for someone.
“What’s wrong? Sister Song.” Olivia Scott stood up.
“I have to go to the hospital for a maternity checkup. You will follow Mr. Williams’s trip later. Here’s the itinerary, you prepare it in advance.”
Zoey Baker waved the itinerary in her hand, and Olivia Scott was busy picking it up.
Flipping through it and looking at Andrea Joneswho was slightly stunned, he hummed a laugh and asked curiously, “Why am I suddenly allowed to follow? Shouldn’t Andrea Jones be doing these things?”
“What Mr. Williams means, you just do as you’re told.” Zoey Baker said.
Olivia Scott raises an eyebrow.
So, in this way, Mr. Williams is not satisfied with Andrea Jones’s ability to work, so it is a temporary transfer to himself?
Isn’t it true that she actually has a chance to be the chief secretary now?
“I got it! Don’t worry, I’ll do a great job!” Olivia Scott assured, her tone rising, “I’ll go get ready then!”
“Go ahead.” Zoey Baker nodded gently.
Andrea Jones never looked up, just tapped the bill more and more slowly, looking a little distracted.
Zoey Baker looks at her and walks past with her bag, and she doesn’t notice, just lost in her own thoughts.
“Andrea,” Zoey Baker tapped the desk.
“Sister Song.” Andrea Jones snapped back to her senses and busily stood up.
“Did the negotiations not go well last night?” It shouldn’t have! She had already accompanied Mr. Williams to negotiate almost all the work in the previous stage. In theory, nothing should have gone wrong until the last step.
“Ah … should be okay, the contract was signed on the spot last night.”
“Is that so? That’s odd.” Zoey Baker gave her a probing look, “Mr. Williams has been unhappy all day. I was going to ask you to go with him for the afternoon, but he ordered Olivia Scott himself.”
Zoey Baker’s probing eyes made Andrea Jones a little uncomfortable.
She raised her hand to slightly straighten her hair and explained, “Maybe … it’s because he doesn’t quite agree with my ability to do my job.”
Zoey Baker nods and reminds her, “If that’s the case, then you need to work harder. The position of chief secretary, after all, can only be given to those who have the ability to do it.”
“Thanks, I’ll try.”
Without further ado, Zoey Baker hurried away with her bag on her back.
Before Andrea Jones sat down, she looked at Olivia Scott, who was working hard on her computer, looking bright and clearly in a good mood.
Breathing out, Andrea Jones sat down in silence.
Is Neal Williams having a tantrum with himself, or does he really want to keep a normal distance from her?
If it’s the latter, she should feel happy, right?
Her life, at last, can return to the right path, without having to always be on guard …
This thought, but still can not help but probe towards the closed door of the president’s office to look over. Only after a long time did he pull back his eyes and try to get back to work.
Because there was a proposal in the company had some financial disputes, so the afternoon trip, Neal Williams is first to the law office.
When he arrived, the legal team was already sitting there.
As soon as he entered, the entire small conference room immediately became oppressive. Everyone stood up to greet him, Neal Williams just waved his hand to indicate them to sit down and spoke decisively, “Let’s skip the pleasantries and talk about the case first.”
“Okay, Mr. Williams,” the lead attorney, Mr. Wang, spoke eloquently as he flipped through the case materials.
Neal Williams listened carefully, occasionally frowning and asking for information. Because the talk is so serious, he did not notice the field there is a line of sight from time to time cast to himself.
…
After the case chat, the attorneys exited the conference room back and forth.
Olivia Scott just handed him a pile of information, “This is the team information just sent up by Mr. Wang, you were too busy before, so you only gave it to Mr. Miller to go over.”
“Hmm.” Neal Williams flipped it open to browse.
After reading a few pages, there was a slight pause in movement. The line of sight stopped on a piece of information. Looking at that inch photo, the color of the eyes slightly deepened a few points.
Olivia Scott curiously followed the probe to look over and raised her eyebrows, “So it’s Sammy Jones.”
“You know it too?” Neal Williams asked.
“Hmm. We’ve known each other since we were kids. Just sat at the very end, didn’t Mr. Williams notice?”
Neal Williams bristled, “Didn’t notice.”
Eyes turned away, he continued to scroll down to the others.
After reading it, it was handed back to Olivia Scott before sinking out of the conference room.
“Mr. Williams, why don’t you stay and have afternoon tea together?” Lawyer Wang immediately greeted him attentively.
The whole law firm felt honored to be IG’s legal advisor this time. In order to have a better cooperation in the future after the contract period, Attorney Wang naturally did not dare to neglect Neal Williams.
“No, you guys go about your business, I’ll leave you to it.” Neal Williams faintly refused.
“It won’t bother you, it’s an honor for all of us that you stay for afternoon tea.” Lawyer Wang doesn’t give up yet.
