Neal Williams still wants to say something to refuse, the woman who has never opened her mouth also followed Wang’s lawyer and added: “Mr. Williams if you do not mind, stay and have a drink with us, right? In the future, our law firm will have to rely on you, Mr. Williams.”
Her tone was polite, unassuming and more honest than Wang’s lawyer.
Neal Williams’ eyes deepened as he looked over toward her.
Are you sure you and Andrea Jones are two sisters? There are really too many similarities in their features.
Neal Williams’ eyes fell on Sammy Jones’ face for a long time, and his gaze was so deep that she was embarrassed. She blushed slightly and lowered her head, a heart in her chest ‘thumping’.
Apparently …
All of them, all of them, detected his ulterior motive’s sight. The lawyer even squeezed her eyes at Sammy Jones, signaling her to put more effort into it.
But when she spoke again, her words were, “If you’re really busy, then we won’t force you to stay.”
“It’s not a very tight schedule.”
Neal Williams pockets his hands in his pockets and looks at Sammy Jones, “Miss Jones?”
Sammy Jones’ heart leapt.
Could it be that he knows his name?
Although she had his phone number, but it was from the lawyer Wang. Last time she had a brief chat with him at IG about work, but she thought he wouldn’t even remember who she was.
“Yes, just call me Sammy Jones.” She uttered softly.
Neal Williams nodded and approached them calmly, “Then stay and have a cup of afternoon tea together. In the future, our company’s legal disputes will be in your hands!”
“Will definitely do my best to help you out.” Sammy Jones replied with a smile, but his heart was beating wildly.
This is a feeling that has never been felt before.
Neal Williams gave her a satisfied smile back and cocked his head, “Have we met somewhere before?”
“If you count our last meeting at IG, this is actually the third time we’ve met.” Sammy Jones brightly compared three fingers.
“Three times?” Neal Williams couldn’t remember at all.
On the sidelines, other people were also piqued by Sammy Jones’ curiosity.
Sammy Jones laughs, “I believe you were in New York a while ago?”
Meeting his acquiescent look, she had more of a smile on her face, “I had some minor disputes with the bookstore staff at the airport at the time, and you were the one who spoke up and helped me out. Always wanted to say thank you solemnly.”
“So that’s it.” Neal Williams remembered the day and gave Sammy Jones another look, “So it was you.”
“So the two of you have known each other for a long time, and now you have to work together, it’s really a rare destiny.” Lawyer Wang interjected, exclaiming.
Sammy Jones was embarrassed to glare at him, quietly peeking at Neal Williams’ expression, but he was calm and relaxed, as if he did not mind at all.
Attorney Wang led Neal Williams’ team out first, leaving Sammy Jones with a few people.
“Sammy Jones, you’re a man of character! You!” Immediately, a female colleague came up and yelled excitedly.
“What is it?” Sammy Jones just pretended he didn’t understand, and looked down and hurriedly packed up his things, but the bright smile on his face was impossible to hide.
“Still pretending! Still pretending! Look at the way Mr. Williams is looking at you, tsk, if you didn’t open your mouth again, he wouldn’t be able to move his eyes!”
“What are you talking about?” Sammy Jones took the book and raised it, scaring the other party, “Don’t talk nonsense like that, people will laugh at you if they hear you.”
“Okay! I will not say anything, nothing, but everyone can have eyes to see.” The other side is laughing and making a scene.
Sammy Jones gave her two blank stares, “Stop it, hurry up and pack up, let’s go down together!”
Lowered his head and pretended to pack things, no longer pay attention to each other. But … the corners of the lips, but can not help but raise higher and higher.
This feeling, so good …
After work, Andrea Jones walked out of the office and saw Lewis Brown’s car. After seeing him, the depression of the whole day washed away a little.
“I’ve made reservations to take you to dinner.” Lewis Brown trotted over and thoughtfully took the bag from her hand.
“Thanks.” Andrea Jones smiled and nodded, sitting in the passenger seat with a touch of detachment in her tone.
Since that incident at the annual meeting two days ago, they’ve only had phone calls and haven’t had a chance to meet.
Lewis Brown already had a guilty conscience, and with the Olivia Scott incident, he didn’t know how to face her for a while. And now, has done a good psychological construction.
…
This is a relatively ordinary restaurant, not as formal as the Western, but quiet and elegant, very suitable for couples.
At first, Lewis Brown would pick elegant and expensive restaurants for their dates, just like Neal Williams did last time. However, gradually, it seems that in order to let Andrea Jones comfort some, he will change.
The order is almost exclusively what Andrea Jones likes.
Lewis Brown offered her a dish, “You eat more. I seem to have lost a little more weight at work lately.”
“Come on, it’s all going to pile up. By the way, didn’t you say you had something to say to me?”
Lewis Brown glanced at her, put down his chopsticks, and his eyes became profound, “Actually, I’ve been wanting to apologize to you in person for the past few days. I’m sorry for what happened the other day at the annual meeting ….”
Andrea Jones’ fingers tensed and loosened, and she followed suit, putting her chopsticks down.
“You apologized the last time you were on the phone. I’ve accepted your apology too.” Andrea Jones reluctantly raised a smile, “Let’s pretend that nothing happened that day, okay?”
She doesn’t want to think back on that night at all. That day, between them, was just an accident.
She wanted to keep the gentlemanly and considerate side of Lewis Brown in her memory.
“I promise, it won’t happen again.” Hearing her say she forgave herself didn’t ease Lewis Brown’s mind. The more thoughtful she was, the heavier his heart became. Thinking about that day with Olivia Scott, he wanted to say something, but when he looked at her quiet little face, he couldn’t.
Andrea Jones, too, is preoccupied at the moment. Last night’s incident with Neal Williams, she did not even have the courage to mention it in front of Lewis Brown.
“One more thing …” Lewis Brown looked at her, “Are you free this Saturday?”
“Is there any arrangement?”
“Hmm.” Crossing his hand over the table, Lewis Brown’s large warm palm gently took hers, “Wanted to take you out for a walk. Been so busy with work lately, haven’t had a good time together in a long time.”
Looking at each other’s tightly held hands, Andrea Jones paused for a moment before curving her fingers to firmly clasp his – as if it was the same as before and nothing had ever changed between them.
“Good. Then I’ll wait for you on Saturday, and you can’t stand me up again, or my sister will really get mad.”
Now she really needs time to develop a relationship with him as well.
Lewis Brown smiled apologetically, “Absolutely not this time! I promise!”
For the entire week, Andrea Jones has been busy with trivial things. As if she had been put on the back burner, Olivia Scott began to handle a lot of her work.
This in turn made her much more relaxed and gave her extra time to organize her thoughts.
Even, has written a transfer application. She would prefer to transfer back to Garret Miller than to stay here as an idle person. She can have more room to play.
Time, come Saturday.
It was a beautiful spring day, and the spring sun was particularly soothing.
Andrea Jones packs up her things and sits in the Lewis Brown car.
The car drove all the way to ‘Jungle Court’, Andrea Jones enjoyed a nap with her eyes closed. The window was open a tiny crack and the wind blew in, ruffling her hair.
Lewis Brown drove with one hand while smiling and looking at her sideways, “Do you want to close the window? The wind is still a little chilly, don’t catch a cold.”
“But this is so comfortable … It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this free and easy.” She still had her eyes closed, feeling the gentle touch of the spring breeze.
Followed by a warmth in the body.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Lewis Brown had taken off his jacket and covered himself with it. Seeing her eyes open, he smiled charmingly at her with his head hanging down and spoke gently, “Go back to sleep so you don’t catch a cold.”
Hugging his jacket and smelling his scent, Andrea Jones gave him a pensive look and finally said nothing, only to close her eyes again.
In the heart, but at this moment is already a hundred times.
She likes such simple and warm days. No complicated entanglements or overwhelming ambiguity.
So, that last kiss between her and Neal Williams, can we pretend that it never happened?
…
By the time the 3-hour drive to ‘Jungle Farewell’ arrived, both were a little tired.
Lewis Brown pulls his luggage in one hand and Andrea Jones in the other into the lobby of ‘The Jungle’ – a resort that features The lobby of ‘The Jungle’ – a resort with mainly single-family homes.
“Then I’ll go ahead and check in, and you can rest here.” Andrea Jones pressed a weary Lewis Brown into a seat on the couch and took off her bag to get her ID.
Lewis Brown reached out and pulled her in, “Wait a little longer, people aren’t here yet.”
Andrea Jones looked up in surprise, “There are others who want to join us?”
“Hmm.” Lewis Brown nodded. Just as he was about to say who it was, the door to the lobby, once again, was pushed open from the outside.
“They’re here!” Lewis Brown patted Andrea Jones’ hand and lifted his lower jaw toward the door. Slightly deeper vision darkened slightly, but quickly collected the sentiment.
Following his reminder to look over and see the pair of figures, Andrea Jones stunned jaws, half of the time just stay there, do not know what to do.
Surprisingly, Penny Brown and Neal Williams …
Neal Williams pulls the luggage while Penny Brown straddles his other arm with one arm. Both of them have the same elegant and noble air. I don’t know what they were talking about, but occasionally Neal Williams would nod in response to her, and every move was as impeccable as the view.
“I … didn’t know they were coming.” Andrea Jones couldn’t help but panic a little. The sudden addition of the two of them to what had been a two-day, one-night trip to the spa with Lewis Brown left her with no way to imagine.
Are both she and Neal Williams sure they can take the previous kiss completely off the table?
“Sorry.” Lewis Brown apologized to her in a low voice, and when he saw her blush, he quietly shook her hand again and reassured, “Don’t worry, they’re all very nice to be around.”
“… Oh.” She responded somewhat feebly. Good to get along with? Maybe Penny Brown was, but … Neal Williams definitely wasn’t!
“Brother-in-law, this way.” Lewis Brown waved at them.
“There it is!” Penny Brown tapped Neal Williams on the shoulder and excitedly pulled him over.
The closer they took a step, the more Andrea Jones’ heart grew restless. She even had the feeling that she wanted to run away.
“You guys just got here too, right?” Penny Brown asked the two with a smile, adding, “Let’s hurry up and book the villa, you must be tired after driving for three hours.”
“Well, it’s waiting for you guys.” Lewis Brown hauled his bags to the front of the line.
Andrea Jones was busy following, her eyes quietly glancing at Neal Williams.
I didn’t expect that he was looking over at this moment, and their eyes inadvertently touched each other, not waiting for Andrea Jones to turn around, but he had faintly averted his eyes.
The look is calm, without a ripple, as if there was never anything between them.
Andrea Jones turned back, her heart inexplicably rising with mixed feelings.
Even you can’t sort it out.
…
“Hello, how many villas do you need?” The attendant at the front desk asked politely.
