“Just wait for me there, I’ll be right over. Just a few more minutes.”
“… good.” Without further ado, Andrea Jones cut the call off.
…
Upstairs.
Inside the president’s office, Neal Williams looks down from above.
The petite figure, standing there, is simply a blur. However, he was able to recognize her at a glance.
“Are you really going to fire her?” Garret Miller asked, glancing at his unkind face.
“Suspicious people do not use!” His words, simple and concise, were loud and clear.
“But what’s up with her looking like she didn’t know that proposal had your idea in it?” Garret Miller rings his chest and leans against the floor-to-ceiling window.
“It’s a long story.”
“So … she gave the program you did together to Lewis Brown, and it was kind of an inadvertent mistake.”
This time, Neal Williams did not say anything back, just focused on looking downstairs, eyes deep and somewhat appalling.
Suspiciously following his line of sight downward, Garret Miller raised his eyebrows slightly.
Downstairs, Andrea Jones was picked up by car. Who else but Lewis Brown could be picking her up at this moment?
“I say, Neal …” Garret Miller looked at him askance, “have you figured out what you’re really mad about or not?”
Without returning his words, Neal Williams turned around and sat back at his desk, turning on his computer.
“There’s still a week before Mr. Yu officially signs the contract with EF. Pick the best people in the company to come out and I want to see a brand new proposal within a week.”
“You haven’t answered my question.” Garret Miller continued to press the question undeterred: “I see, in addition to being angry with her for ruining our business, you’re more angry … with her for going out of her way to help Lewis Brown as a ‘spy’, right? ”
“You have so much time to guess what’s on my mind?” Neal Williams, still looking cold, dialed Zoey Baker on the intercom and gave an immediate order, “Have the project team get ready and get to the conference room immediately. All of you!”
“Still trying to get this client?” Garret Miller asked.
“I don’t like to lose battles.”
Garret Miller nods, “Especially losing to Lewis Brown, right? But this battle of emotions …”
Neal Williams’ cold eyes swept over, and Garret Miller immediately covered his mouth, not to continue to poke someone’s pain. She only slurred her words and said, “With Mr. Yu’s temperament, it’s almost impossible to make him change his orders overnight.”
“And you know it’s only ‘almost’, which means it’s not a hundred percent certain!” Neal Williams gathered the information, put the emails in order, closed the computer again, and glanced at Garret Miller: “Get ready for the meeting!”
…
The car, keep driving forward.
Lewis Brown turned his head to look at what she was holding and frowned slightly, “They fired you?”
Andrea Jones did not reply.
“It’s okay, Andrea, you go to my place.” Lewis Brown reached over and took her hand in his. Her small hand, cold and warm. “Don’t get your head in the clouds. I can get the company to put you on the project team right away. As it happens, the position of our project manager has been vacant for a long time. It’s all because of you that we were able to win Mr. Yu’s investment this time.”
“No …” Andrea Jones shook her head and finally spoke up, “It’s not me. A big part of it, it’s Neal Williams’ doing.”
“What does it have to do with Neal Williams?” Lewis Brown couldn’t understand her words.
Andrea Jones breathed out and just looked down at the cardboard box in her arms.
“Lewis Brown …” called out to him softly, somewhat feebly, “You … know very well that this time the competition has IG Inc. right?”
Lewis Brown is irrefutable.
This case, the company up and down are very important. Which competitors, he naturally as clear as a mirror.
“You’re sad that your brother-in-law didn’t get the case?” Lewis Brown looked sideways, at her sad side.
“You never used to take your work stuff and leave it in the car.” Without answering, Andrea Jones continued.
Lewis Brown’s face was slightly stony, “I admit to being desperate and hoping to have your help. If I tell you that the opponent is brother-in-law, you will not hesitate to reject me!”
“In fact, you know very well that once IG loses, I will be fired.”
Lewis Brown looked slightly paused, “… Why do you have to stick to working at IG? We have room for you to grow in EF as well!”
“Lewis Brown, just put me on the curb and leave me alone.” She was so wrong about this incident that she needed to reflect on it.
“Andrea Jones!” said Lewis Brown, looking at her.
“Stop the car.” Andrea Jones met his gaze.
In the beginning, she did not hesitate to want to help him, a large part of the reason is because … heart of that guilt to act, so always want to do something to him to compensate.
But what exactly do you feel guilty about?
Lewis Brown pulls the car to a screeching halt and Andrea Jones pushes open the door to get out, but Lewis Brown suddenly reaches out and holds her in place.
“What’s wrong?”
“Andrea, tell me the truth!” Lewis Brown took a deep breath and stared at her soberly, “Are you so sad now because I didn’t tell you beforehand that your opponent had a brother-in-law, or is it simply because you couldn’t see your brother-in-law lose, couldn’t stand his disappointment in you, and couldn’t bear his misunderstanding of you?”
Andrea Jones had a shock.
For a long time, they could only stare at Lewis Brown in bewilderment.
When he spoke again, he was shocked even by himself.
“Lewis Brown, I’m sorry, I … don’t actually want to get married …”
This time, his turn to freeze.
hand, subconsciously tightening her grip.
Shocked, only for a moment. When she woke up, she became more determined.
Struggling, he pulled his hand, out of his grasp.
“I’m sorry. lewis brown, I think maybe … I don’t love you enough!”
Guilty for wanting to repent of the marriage, so …
I hope I can do something to compensate. But, as a result, it was not expected to mistakenly hurt Neal Williams …
Thinking of him questioning her like that, Andrea Jones took a deep breath and hid the vague pain in her chest. Hanging her head, she looked apologetically at Lewis Brown and slowly pulled the ring off her finger.
“Andrea!” Without bothering to pick up the ring, Lewis Brown made a hasty attempt to grab her finger.
Instead, she had already jerked her hand back one step faster. The diamond ring cut a brilliant light in the air and fell on the passenger seat.
“Lewis Brown, I will formally go to your house and apologize to your parents some other time.” Andrea Jones bent over and hugged her things tightly, “I’m sorry …”
After saying that, she said nothing more and turned around and left.
Stunned at the back, Lewis Brown threw himself in the driver’s seat and closed his eyes wearily.
But, in the end …
No further pursuit.
Just, probe your hand and hold that diamond ring gently in your hand.
I have to admit, if there was no Penny Brown in mind, Andrea must be the most suitable candidate for marriage.
Now that he can’t get married, it’s a relief. At least, he repressed his unresolved love and no longer had to involve another innocent person.
…
As the night wore on, Neal Williams and his team emerged from the office.
When the car drove down to the apartment building, the phone suddenly rang. Seeing the flashing number on the screen, he frowned slightly. In the end, he still grabbed the earplugs and put them in his ears.
“Neal, when are you going to be home?”
It’s Penny Brown’s voice.
“What?” His tone, flat and unruffled.
“I just went to the supermarket and bought some things you like to eat and wanted to make you some late night snacks.”
Neal Williams was really hungry when he didn’t mention it. Not only did he stay up all night with Garret Miller last night, but today’s high-volume meetings have long drained him of energy. He didn’t even eat a few bites of the take-out he ate at the office during the day. By now, at this point, is really hungry some of the powerful.
However, the mouth says …
“I’m not in the habit of eating late.”
“I’m down at the apartment building now. I’ll wait for you!” Penny Brown, however, acted as if she couldn’t hear him at all, and without waiting for Neal Williams to say anything else, she had already disconnected the call right there.
Neal Williams frowned and tossed his earbuds aside, slightly impatient.
Since she won’t give up, he doesn’t mind going over what he said to her that night at the villa again, carefully.
…
Penny Brown stood in front of the apartment with her things, just waiting for Neal Williams to return.
About five minutes later, the elevator ‘ding-‘ a sound.
It’s all single-family here. So, it’s only possible that Neal Williams is back.
Heart a happy, Penny Brown put down things to meet up, “Neal, you back …” ‘came’ two words, was hard blocked in the throat mouth. Gazing at the woman who stayed at the elevator door, her face changed. Covered with a layer of cold frost.
Apparently …
The other party didn’t expect to meet Penny Brown here either.
After a moment of surprise, she stepped out of the elevator and asked, “Isn’t Mr. Williams here?”
“Why are you here?” Penny Brown almost had a questioning tone.
“I’m looking for Mr. Williams for something.” Glancing at Penny Brown, Andrea Jones side-stepped her and tried to ring the doorbell.
Penny Brown snorted, “He’s not even home, you don’t have to press it!”
“Oh.” Andrea Jones dropped her hand and glanced at the closed doorway, but didn’t leave. She had called Zoey Baker quietly earlier, and Zoey Baker had told her Neal Williams had come out of the office.
And now, probably soon!
“Why don’t you go?” Seeing that she just stood there without moving, Penny Brown couldn’t help but raise her voice.
Neal Williams is coming back soon! She doesn’t want them to meet!
Andrea Jones turned back around and smiled faintly, “Didn’t my sister leave, too?” After a pause, she added, “After I finish my business, I’ll leave.”
“Your thing? Isn’t your business to seduce Neal?”
Andrea Jones stared at her clearly jealous face. Penny Brown, like this, had nothing to do with ‘beauty’.
At her nonchalance, Andrea Jones frowned shallowly, “That’s my business.”
The tone of voice is becoming increasingly distant.
Seducing Neal Williams?
Is it that by seducing him, he can forgive himself?
She laughed at herself and brushed her lips. Now even if she really wanted to seduce, he wouldn’t give herself a chance. Now Neal Williams is simply disgusted with himself.
“You have no shame in seducing my fiancé!” Penny Brown was exasperated by her slightly cold attitude, “Andrea Jones, don’t think I don’t know that you have something in mind for Neal that you shouldn’t have! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have suddenly broken off your engagement to Lewis Brown!”
Andrea Jones froze for a moment and looked directly at Penny Brown.
It’s true what she said …
Did you suddenly ask to break off the engagement because you have another person in your heart?
“It was my fault for breaking the engagement. However, if I remember correctly …” she paused slightly, remembering the last time she was falsely accused of being a ‘third party’ at the spa, her heart inevitably still had some grievances. Now the charge of ‘seduction’ has been put on it for no reason, so the words have become sharp, “Mr. Williams also seems to have proposed an annulment with Miss Brown, so now Mr. Williams is no longer your fiancé. If someone really wants to be with him who is single, there is nothing wrong with that, it is not considered shameless.”
A series of words that come out of your mouth.
There are some thoughts that once they become clear, it seems that even courage will follow. Since I am no longer married to Lewis Brown, why should I be so bent out of shape?
