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

Marshall Johnson answered and went out.
At this moment, Penny Brown is sitting in the lobby of the company. The body is a white handmade dress, green crocodile handbag casually put aside, slender legs folded, thin high heels will be the legs more and more proportional beautiful. She looked at herself like this through the transparent glass.
She couldn’t find anything she couldn’t do with Andrea Jones. That girl, after toying with Lewis Brown, stole her fiancé!
But …
So what if it’s a moment of pleasure? In the end, Neal Williams is still the prey of his own hand?
When she thought of this, she raised her lips and tinted her eyebrows with a bit of confidence and complacency. At that moment, Marshall Johnson was hurrying out from the elevator, “Miss Brown!”
Penny Brown stood up gracefully with a slight straight face.
“Sorry for the long wait. I just went up and realized that our second youngest is no longer at the office at this moment.”
“Not in?” The smugness that he had just felt had been reduced to nothing, and now the exquisitely depicted face froze, looking coldly at the person in front of him, “Marshall Johnson, you better not lie to me!”
“I’m really not lying. You know, this is a special time, many people want to talk to Miss Brown, but can not find you. If Mr. Williams knew that you came to him personally, he would not have avoided it.”
Penny Brown mused.
What Marshall Johnson said wasn’t bad. From the clean government wind swept over, her offers have not been broken, all from various official wives, inquiring about the mouth more than a lot of things. But such things, all of them were rejected by her. Now she gave Neal Williams the opportunity, he really do not need to turn her away.
“I believe you for now. So, where is he now?”
“I’m not sure about that. Maybe he went back to his apartment, or maybe he went outside to meet other guests.”
Penny Brown nodded, “Okay, I’m clear. You go about your business!”
With that said, and with Marshall Johnson looking on, Penny Brown left with her chin raised.
Andrea Jones is asking Chen to accompany her downstairs. Intending to go for a walk in the park not far away.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the doors opened with a sound, and she was about to walk out when she looked up and was surprised to see a figure.
Penny Brown was waiting outside the elevator and never thought she would run into Andrea Jones here.
After being surprised and suspicious, she spoke, “What are you doing here?”
The tone was foxy and stiff and cold, full of mockery.
Andrea Jones didn’t answer. It was a question she really didn’t know how to answer either. Did she mean to say that she was here to nurse her baby?
She turned slightly sideways, avoiding Penny Brown’s intention to get out.
Penny Brown was instantly provoked by her attitude and reached out and grabbed her hand, “Andrea Jones, can’t you hear me? I’m asking you a question!”
“You let go!” She was so strong that her hand hurt a little from the grip.
Sister Chen, observing her words, found that the visitor was aggressive, so she quickly advised, “Miss, what is this? Let’s talk properly!”
Penny Brown twisted her head to glare at her, “Mind your own business!”
Shaking off Chen’s hand, she pushed Andrea Jones towards the elevator with one force, “Andrea Jones, I’m telling you, this time, I will never let you steal Neal Williams again!”
“Ah …” Caught off guard, Andrea Jones’ entire body was thrown against the elevator wall. Her back slammed against the metal with a loud thud. She blanched and subconsciously shielded the small of her back.
Sister Chen nervously ran over and held her up, “Miss Jones, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Penny Brown looked at her mockingly with her arms around her chest, “Is that how you played Neal Williams and Lewis Brown?”
How can it be so exaggerated? She just pushed her a little!
Andrea Jones took a deep breath to make sure that only her shoulder hurt a little from the bump and the baby was still safe and sound, so she stood up straight, raised her head to meet Penny Brown’s gaze and smiled slightly, “Miss Brown, please be gentle and take care of my special situation right now for a moment.”
The way she held her belly, Penny Brown took in all of her movements.
And …
If you look carefully, you will find that the damn woman seems to have gained a lot of weight than before. Even the small belly is …
Suddenly realizing something, she startled, her jaw dropped incredulously and she stared at her, “What’s your … special situation?”
In fact, already guessed, but, just can not die.
Sister Chen helped Andrea Jones to stand up straight and answered back for her, “What other special circumstances can there be? Can’t you see, Miss Jones is pregnant! How can a good-looking girl push and shove a pregnant woman? Miss Jones, are you sure the baby is okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
The latter sentence, Sister Chen was talking to Andrea Jones. Concerned about the occasion of the question, but also did not forget to glare hard at the white face of Penny Brown.
The blow was too much and Penny Brown’s entire body froze in place. Staring hard at the small of Andrea Jones’ back, as if to stare her through.
Damn it!
She’s actually pregnant! Neal Williams’ baby!
Thinking about this, looking at Chen’s shushing look, imagining the picture of Neal Williams cautiously worried, a fire in the heart steeply upward.
“Andrea Jones, shame on you! You know you and Neal Williams can’t be together and you’re trying to tie him down with a baby!” She cursed through clenched teeth and raised her hand to slap down. Andrea Jones reacted quickly and raised her hand to clasp it, holding it tightly. Her face went white and she stared hard at Andrea Jones, “Let go! Whose hand are you holding?”
Andrea Jones shook her hand away coldly. Saying nothing more, she prepared to close the elevator door and go back. Now, where was the mood to go for a walk?
The door, to close the moment, Penny Brown abruptly reached out to separate the door.
Two people, very close and close together, Andrea Jones clearly saw the disdain and provocation in her eyes. “Andrea Jones, don’t blame me for not warning you, better hurry up and get this baby out of the hospital!”
Andrea Jones snickered. Sister Chen gave Penny Brown a mocking look, “This young lady, you have a big mouth! Who do you think you are?”
Penny Brown laughed lightly, ringed his chest, and stared at Andrea Jones from above, with a look that was both superior and like a plan. “I’ve already warned you, and since you don’t do it yourself, it’s your fault. In the future, when your child calls me ‘mom’, you must not regret it!”
Andrea Jones was so shaken that she felt her breath catch in her throat.
Penny Brown’s words continue: “This child is not the one the Williams family elders expected to be born. You may be able to tie Neal Williams to her for a while, but watch! You can’t trade her for marriage!”
Every word she said was powerful, one at a time, hitting Andrea Jones’ chest like a hammer. Looking at her paler and paler cheeks, Penny Brown smiled smugly: “Sooner or later, Neal Williams is still going to dump you and marry me! What kind of life do you think your kids will have when that happens?”
“Miss Jones? Miss Jones, are you all right!” Seeing her face getting ugly, Sister Chen asked several times in a panic.
Andrea Jones shook her head helplessly, unable to say a word against Penny Brown’s, and only reached out to close the elevator door behind her.
The door slowly closes.
Penny Brown’s smug look and her mean words were shut out before her stiff body leaned weakly against the elevator wall, the coldness of the metal, seeping into her bones, making her feel only that even her heart was cold.
She was reminded in a trance of her mother’s cruel past.
Pregnant with a child, but was thrown out by the Williams family, met with a hemorrhage and almost died in the pouring rain …
The most loved man, but married another woman …
A child who was not expected by the elders came, so that evolved into that gut-wrenching tragedy. So, will history repeat itself?
When she thought of Penny Brown’s winning look, she was suddenly unsure, and her whole body shuddered.
“Miss Jones, do you want to go to the hospital? Your face looks bad.” Sister Chen asked worriedly.
She shook her head, “No, the baby is fine.”
“So I’ll call Mr. Williams back?”
“Don’t bother him.”
Sister Chen sighed, “Who is that woman? It’s fierce. And, is it true that she said she would marry Mr. Williams?”
She could not say anything else except shaking her head. Only, a strong sense of foreboding seized her heart, making her inexplicably panic and anxiety.
As soon as she got home, she laid down on her bed and closed her eyes and went to sleep. Because she had just been hit in the elevator, her shoulder hurt so badly that she didn’t want to care, and just curled herself up under the covers.
Like an escape, I rolled myself up tightly under the blanket. I tried to stop thinking about what Penny Brown had just said, but the tragedy of my mother’s life was going back and forth in my mind. It took a long time before I could easily close my eyes and fall asleep.
Neal Williams is home early today.
After looking around the hall, there was no sign of her.
“Sister Chen!”
“Mr. Williams, come back.” Sister Chen was squatting on the floor, scrubbing. Neal Williams asked, “Where is she? Went out for a walk?”
“Sleeping.”
“Sleeping at this hour?” It was after 6 p. m. She was never in the habit of going to bed at this hour only.
Sister Chen stood up and shook her head straight, “It should be because of the stimulation this afternoon. Originally in a good mood, let me accompany out for a walk, but I did not expect to meet an inexplicable person on the first floor, Miss Jones taunted a round.”
Neal Williams frowned, “What inexplicable person? Why taunt her?”
Sister Chen looked at him with a somewhat reproachful look, “Mr. Williams, not me, it’s not easy for Miss Jones to carry a child alone now. Moreover, there is not even a name! Usually you look like you love her, how come you don’t even take care of your personal relationship, but let someone come to her door and bully her? If it were me, I’d be upset too!”
The more Neal Williams listened, the more he blushed.
“What was the name of the guy who came over here?”
“I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s pretty mean! By the way, it sounds like Miss Jones called her Miss Brown.”
It’s really Penny Brown!
“She can be fierce! She said that you will definitely marry her after Mr. Williams, and advised Miss Jones to get rid of the baby, saying that if you don’t get rid of it, you will have to call her ‘mother’ sooner or later. Oh, yes! She also raised her hand to hit Miss Jones!”
After Chen’s words, Neal Williams face has been covered with a layer of cold frost.
His voice was also cold to the bone: “If that woman comes over again in the future, don’t let her in the door! If she makes any noise, call the police immediately!”
“So, those words are all nonsense from that woman?” Sister Chen laughed a little, relieved for Andrea Jones, “I say, how could you marry that kind of woman. It’s Miss Jones who makes people comfortable.”
“Hmm.” Neal Williams said nothing more than, “I’ll go in and check on her.”
Andrea Jones was asleep when Neal Williams entered. However, she was sleeping very restlessly. Her brow was furrowed, where a thin layer of cold sweat had emerged. As if she had suffered some kind of shock in her dream, she clutched the covers with both hands, and her pale lips trembled as she murmured, “Don’t … take away my baby … please… …”
She murmured, suddenly wailing and crying.
