Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

The man’s voice, clean and calm.
I was surprised to look up and find that it was really him, and my eyes, which were already dizzy and red, were instantly and indisputably even redder.
“Thanks …” reached out and took it, looking at the tissue, the stirring in my heart was especially distinct.
Wiping away the tear stains with a tissue and trying very hard to compose myself before saying, “Excuse me, Mr. Williams. I’d like to go back to …”
The voice is still choked.
How is Andrea Jones doing now? No better than Sammy Jones.
“Where’s Miss Jones going, I’ll drive you.”
“Ah, how is that nice?” Sammy Jones was greatly surprised, even a little flattered. She and Neal Williams, after all, were not exactly familiar.
“It’s just a matter of raising your hand. Don’t delay any longer, let’s go.” Without waiting for Sammy Jones to say anything else, Neal Williams had already taken the lead and moved forward.
Looking at that back, Sammy Jones heart lake can not help but ripple layers of waves.
Can’t help thinking about …
Is he this passionate about every woman, or …
I don’t dare to think about it anymore, for fear that if I think too much, I’ll just end up disappointed. Grab the bag, hold the tissue tightly, and quickly follow.

The car, all the way to the Ye family drive.
Sammy Jones is in the back seat.
Several times, could not resist peeking at him from the front mirror. Not waiting to meet his eyes, she has hurriedly averted her eyes to.
As everyone says, this man, is a man who is easy to fall in love with …
A move of the hand has an extraordinary charm.
It is no wonder that Penny Brown, who was not engaged to him, was heartbroken.
“Miss Jones,” Neal Williams snapped out.
“Hmm?” The thoughts that flew far away were suddenly pulled back.
“Can I take the liberty of asking what your mother’s condition is?” Through the rearview mirror, Neal Williams’ eyes met hers, “Hospital-wise, I have some familiar people who might be able to help you.”
The look that made Sammy Jones blush.
His earnestness and initiative made her heart flutter even more.
“Is it going to be trouble?”
“It’s no trouble. I will help you as much as I can if I need to.”
“Thanks to …” Sammy Jones spoke from the heart, looking mournful, “My sister said the doctors suspect it’s probably cancer – pancreatic cancer. But it’s not certain right now, and we’ll have to go back to the hospital for more tests.”
After saying that, Sammy Jones’ tears were about to fall again.
She lowered her head and forced herself to hold back.
Neal Williams handed over the entire pack of tissues from the car, “Excuse me.”
“Thanks, it’s okay …”
Looking at Sammy Jones, he remembered that at this moment someone is also afraid of heartache, can not help but speed up the car.
“I’ll go and ask around for you and contact you as soon as I hear something.”
Sammy Jones nodded gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Williams. it would be a blessing to have a reliable expert.”
Neal Williams didn’t say anything else, just focused on driving. There was a look of worry that could not be hidden.
Looking at him like this, Sammy Jones’ hard heart was slightly relieved.
Why is he so nice to himself? So caring?
Will …
Thoughts, once again, were compulsively interrupted. Rambling thoughts are not desirable.

Downstairs in the neighborhood, Sammy Jones got out of the car, followed by Neal Williams.
“Mr. Williams, go up and sit down for a while?”
Sammy Jones politely invites.
Surprisingly, Neal Williams nodded without hesitation, “Yes.”
This in turn froze Sammy Jones for a moment.
After all, they are not too well acquainted, and with his congeniality, he would have politely declined such an invitation.
But, now …
Sammy Jones’ heart leapt so fast, it felt like it was about to leap out of his chest. Quickly sidle up and let him into the unit first, “It’s upstairs.”
Neal Williams took the lead with his steps.
Sammy Jones followed quickly behind.
His back was so tall, like a mountain. There is the sunlight from the window cast in through the small window in front of her, the shadow from above and down to envelop her, at that moment, Sammy Jones has a kind of indescribable feeling. In the lake of the heart, like a ripple after ripple.
Such a man, who will be like an unshakable mountain in the future, blocking all the storms?
Whoever it is, that woman, will surely be the happiest woman in the world.
When Andrea Jones pulled open the door, she was startled by the first figure she saw.
For a moment, she could only stare dumbly at Neal Williams in the doorway, thinking of her mother inside the house, and for a moment she was a little overwhelmed.
“Andrea,” the sudden, familiar voice broke her awkwardness.
Sammy Jones stepped out from behind Neal Williams, “Why are you standing in the doorway gawking and not letting guests in?”
“Huh?” Andrea Jones was still a little confused.
“Is anyone here?” At the sound of her daughter’s voice, Charleen Davis had come down the hall.
Andrea Jones subconsciously grabbed the doorknob and looked helplessly at Neal Williams, and was worried about how to explain when Sammy Jones already spoke up: “Mom, it’s Mr. Williams, I just met him at work and he sent me back.”
Mr. Williams?
Charleen Davis came out and caught a glimpse of Neal Williams.
“Auntie.” Neal Williams still bowed respectfully and politely in greeting.
Charleen Davis’ eyes, swept back and forth over the three men. Ultimately it was just a slight nod toward Neal Williams, “Please, Mr. Williams.”
“It’s no trouble. Neal Williams answered back, and his eyes fell on Andrea Jones, with a faint smile that was deliberately distant.
However, the comfort and concern under her eyes was somehow clear to her.
“Don’t stand in the doorway, let the guests in first.” Sammy Jones gave Andrea Jones a secret tug on the hand.
“Ah! Oh, yes.” Returning to her senses, she busily sidled up and let Neal Williams in the door.
“I’ll get the water, you sit in the hall for a minute.” Sammy Jones was ready to go to the kitchen.
“No, Miss Jones,” Neal Williams called out to her, and then, instead, his eyes fell on Andrea Jones and asked, “Packing to go to the hospital?”
The tone is much softer than just now.
The deep eyes were wrapped in deeper emotions.
Subconsciously glancing at her mother and seeing her look bad, Andrea Jones only dared to avert her eyes and nod, “Well … is going to the hospital.”
“Let me walk you there. It’s not very convenient to carry your stuff.” Neal Williams volunteered, but then dropped his eyes to Sammy Jones and broke out into a smile, “Miss Jones, what do you think?”
That smile made Sammy Jones feel giddy.
Smiled and nodded, “I certainly don’t have a problem with it, I’m just worried it’s too much trouble for you.”
“No trouble.”
Neal Williams said, and then passed his eyes towards Andrea Jones. But just for a second, it moved away again without moving.
Sammy Jones naturally could not see anything, but Charleen Davis, who knew the inside story, saw right through it. Naturally, she knows the purpose of Neal Williams’ visit here.
“Mr. Williams, don’t bother you, we’ll just take the car to the hospital by ourselves.”
Charleen Davis politely refused. The face is still a warm smile, but the sense of detachment is immediately obvious to all.
“Andrea, you go ahead and bring up the stuff while your sister and I see Mr. Williams off.”
Such an eviction could not be more obvious.
Once the words were out of his mouth, Sammy Jones was stunned, and his suspicious eyes looked over at Charleen Davis in rapid succession.
“Mom …” peeked at Neal Williams’ expression and called out with embarrassment.
Charleen Davis was unmoved and just looked at Andrea Jones, “Go on, what are you waiting for?”
“Oh …” responded a low voice, and Andrea Jones lifted her eyes to look at Neal Williams before turning to enter the room.

Not wanting to cause Andrea Jones any more trouble or upset Charleen Davis, Neal Williams didn’t stick around after all.
Sammy Jones walked him out the door and followed him with an apologetic look on his face, “I’m sorry, Mr. Williams.”
“Never mind.” Neal Williams didn’t care. He just wanted to come by and make sure Andrea Jones was okay, hoping to give her some encouragement. Now, after seeing her, it was much more reassuring.
“I don’t know what’s going on with my mom today.” Sammy Jones still felt sorry, “Usually my mom is not like this, she is always very warm to the guests.”
Neal Williams laughs low and jokes, “It looks like I’m not doing enough.”
“No! Of course not!” Sammy Jones took it seriously and immediately explained, “You did a great job. It’s probably because my mom is having a bad day, so you mustn’t think too much about it.”
Neal Williams lost his smile.
“Just kidding.” He probed and looked inside, pausing before drawing back his eyes, “If there is anything you need, always remember to contact me. Take good care of Aunt Ye, I’ll let you know as soon as I have news from my side.”
“I really appreciate it.”
“Go on in, I’ll leave you to it.” Neal Williams nodded reassuringly and left with a sober step.
As he walked, he took out his cell phone to dial the phone.

“Is everything okay?”
Walking to the corner of the stairs, the phone was connected.
“… hmm.” Although it was a stubborn ‘um’, however, her tone was a choked sob that could not be hidden.
All the worry and hard feelings, the trepidation about cancer came out in one fell swoop when she heard Neal Williams’ voice, making the tip of her nose sour.
“Crying?” Neal Williams paused in his steps, “Do you need me to go upstairs?”
“Don’t, don’t ever …” Andrea Jones refused almost immediately, “My mom isn’t well and I can’t upset her anymore. The doctor said it could be cancer and I’m a little scared …”
There was a pause and a deep breath before he regained his voice: “This situation is so bad I never even thought about it in that direction …”
Neal Williams sighed helplessly.
This feeling of wanting to hold her, give her something to lean on and comfort her properly, but being unable to do anything about it, made him feel both awful and full of frustration.
“Since the final result has not been determined yet, don’t scare yourself yet. I will contact a few experts in the next two days and make good arrangements for you.”
The voice is calm and steady, giving people an indescribable sense of stability.
Holding the phone and listening to his voice, Andrea Jones had the urge to rush out of the room and into his arms.
But …
In the end, it was held back.
“These days, first busy with the hospital, when the situation is stable you can return to work. By the way, which hospital are you staying at?”
Andrea Jones gave the hospital address and the two talked for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
And on the other side …
“Mom, are you okay?” Worried about Charleen Davis’ condition, Sammy Jones dared not say such things as she had just been rude, but only asked politely.
“It’s okay.” Charleen Davis pressed her brow and turned her face to look at Sammy Jones, “Was Mom just rude?”
“… Well, there is a little bit of that.” Sammy Jones still nodded and told the truth. “He is a guest after all, and I feel quite embarrassed to drive me back so far.”
Charleen Davis sighed, knowing that she had gone a little too far. neal Williams is neal Williams after all, and his mother is his mother.
But …
Even with that thought, she couldn’t accept the fact that he was with Andrea Jones.

When it was time to check in, Andrea Jones went to pay, but someone else had already paid for her first.
Frozen for a moment, she immediately came to her senses.
Neal Williams finally asked for his hospital address, so that’s what it was all about?
Heart, rippled with a trace of relief.
It is a good feeling to have someone who always thinks well for you and walks in front of you.
As soon as he got off work, Neal Williams drove his car directly to the villa area.
