Garret Miller’s secretary led Mrs. Ning into the conference room and froze for a moment when she saw Andrea Jones, who gave her a small smile before recognizing her, “It’s really you, isn’t it?”
“It’s been a long time.” Andrea Jones ceremoniously shook her hand.
As the two walked together toward the conference room, Andrea Jones looked around intentionally or unintentionally and saw no Neal Williams or Marshall Johnson.
“Mrs. Ning, our boss is already waiting for you in the conference room.” Garret Miller’s secretary said.
With an elegant nod, Mrs. Ning pushed open the door of the conference room and entered, only to see Garret Miller and a group of people already waiting there. Seeing them enter, Garret Miller immediately stood up.
First, he shook hands with Mrs. Ning and turned to Andrea Jones, who then saw her, and surprise ran through those eyes.
“Andrea Jones? It’s you!”
It turns out that they were not greeted by Neal Williams … but by Garret Miller …
Andrea Jones smiled and bowed, “Mr. Miller.”
Garret Miller looks on with a smile, surveys her, and laments, “It’s changed.”
Mature, but added a few charming charm. This kind of Andrea Jones, I think, Neal Williams will see more and more not resist.
Just, unfortunately …
Garret Miller looked into Andrea Jones’ eyes and couldn’t help but tease, “You seem a little disappointed to see me.”
Andrea Jones gave a slight stare.
Did it turn out that she was acting so obviously? She had tried very hard to suppress her emotions.
“Don’t laugh, I’m here to work.” She pretended not to understand and turned on the computer, putting on a professional attitude. garret Miller was also a professional, and after exchanging pleasantries, she chatted with Mrs. Ning in detail. andrea Jones sat aside and gave advice appropriately. After making a precise judgment on the content of the proposal, she fought for Mrs. Ning’s maximum rights and interests.
After the meeting, it was after 5:00 p. m. Garret Miller and Mrs. Ning said goodbye, and Mrs. Ning said, “If you have anything to do in the future, you can communicate directly with my advisor, and I have given her full authority to handle this case.”
“Yes, I will do it to your satisfaction.” Garret Miller responded and asked his secretary to send Mrs. Ning out. Now she looked at Andrea Jones, who was collecting her things, and laughed, “Miss Jones, you’re a very unapproachable advisor.”
Andrea Jones lifted the computer in her hand and asked with a smile, “How so?”
“No matter what, we are also your original boss, and now we are really not soft when it comes to helping the new boss fight for his rights. You don’t think this is revenge, do you?” Garret Miller joked.
Retaliation?
Andrea Jones was slightly stunned, and her expression changed slightly.
Garret Miller saw the subtle change and changed the subject, “Never mind, let’s not talk about the past.”
Andrea Jones smiles reluctantly and walks out of the conference room with Garret Miller. By now, everyone was getting ready to leave work, and Andrea Jones headed for the elevator, her steps subconsciously slowing down a bit. She wasn’t sure what she was doing, or … who she was hoping to see …
As if reading her intentions, Garret Miller said, “Actually, Neal Williams is not at the office today.”
Andrea Jones blushed with embarrassment, “I … didn’t ask that.”
Garret Miller laughs, “I know without you asking. What a coincidence that he happened to be out of town just as you joined the company.”
“Oh … is it?” Trying to sound as even as possible, but Garret Miller’s stifled laugh had let her know she’d failed.
“Shall I call him and ask him to come back?” Garret Miller asked, ‘knowingly’.
“Ah! No need …” Andrea Jones shook her head, “Since it’s a business trip, there must be a lot going on over there too.”
Although imagined the possibility of meeting countless times, but, really to meet, she still can not avoid the heart of that nervous. No one is sure what kind of changes we have gone through in the past two years …
“And yeah, there’s really quite a lot going on over there.” Still, no more than an Andrea Jones is important in Neal Williams’ mind.
It’s a statement Garret Miller didn’t make, but he’s confident that Neal Williams will physically prove it.
“Are you still planning on leaving when you come back this time?” Garret Miller asked.
She nodded slightly and followed him into the elevator, saying, “Most of Mrs. Ning’s business is in Europe and the U. S. When this case with you is finished, I’ll go back to New York.”
“Why do you have to be in New York when you are perfectly capable of getting a foothold in any financial firm in the country?” Garret Miller was trying very hard to help someone keep her.
She was silent for a while before saying, “Actually, I haven’t fully decided yet.”
Oh?
That means …
Someone is totally in with a chance.
“Where do you live, and I’ll walk you?” Walking out of the company building, Garret Miller said gently.
“That’s not necessary, I’ll just take my own cab.” Andrea Jones reached for a cab, Garret Miller pulled the door open for her, and before she bent inside, she reminded, “I hope to see your complete proposal soon, and if there are any questions, or if I’m unsure, I’ll be in touch at any time. I hope you don’t mind me being annoying.”
Garret Miller laughs, “Please.”
Once in the car, Andrea Jones leaned back in the back seat, her eyes always falling on the rearview mirror in front of her, until the building disappeared from the mirror and she slowly closed her eyes.
Twilight envelopes.
Neal Williams hurried out of the airport and stood on the sky bridge, looking down at the bustle of the city. The wind was blowing, and there was a slight chill. At times like this, one often feels so lost that one cannot even find a goal to strive for.
“Mr. Williams, a call from Marshall Johnson.” Zoey Baker’s voice jerked his thoughts back.
He took it in silence and put the phone to his ear. Before he could say anything, Marshall Johnson over there was already yelling excitedly, “Mr. Williams! Mr. Miller said he will go to Hong Kong to replace you right away.”
Neal Williams frowned slightly, “What’s wrong?”
He’s only just arrived.
“Something big is happening!” Marshall Johnson was happy for him, “Miss Jones is back!”
Neal Williams was stunned and in some disbelief, “Who are you talking about?”
“Miss Jones! Andrea Jones! What Mr. Miller said, it turns out that the client in America is Miss Jones’ boss!”
Andrea Jones…
She’s back …
The haze that had been resting between his eyebrows had now completely dissipated, and the smile that could not help but float at the corners of his lips made Zoey Baker feel amazed.
His heart was already excited, but his tone was extremely repressed. Only said, “I know.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Facing Zoey Baker’s suspicious eyes, he didn’t answer immediately, but just braced his hands on the railing of the flyover and took a deep breath to calm his breathing. The smile in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper, and he couldn’t hide it.
“Mr. Williams, did something good happen?” Zoey Baker still couldn’t hold back after all, looking at his side face with a deeper smile, just felt that at this moment he was like a child who suddenly got candy.
This both amazed and intrigued her.
This year or so, but never see him so effective.
He turned around and didn’t answer, just ordered, “Hurry up and book me a flight. I’m leaving tonight! No, I have to go now!”
After saying that, he turned around and headed inside the airport.
“Leave now? But there’s a meeting early tomorrow morning …” Zoey Baker was too surprised, it was too strange. They had only just arrived and hadn’t been out of the airport for a minute.
“You heard me right, I’m leaving right now, not a minute longer!” Neal Williams repeated, “You stay here and pick up Garret Miller.”
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. Zoey Baker was struggling to keep up and had to trot along, “Oh, okay. I’m going to consult with you about the flight now.”
The good thing is that it is located right inside the airport, so it is easy to ask for information.
Neal Williams sits in the vip waiting area, waiting for his ticket. Thinking about what Marshall Johnson just said, his eyebrows flew up.
She … came back in the end …
Two years, not long or short, but already enough to make him tormented. Tormented, he was about to hold out …
“Mr. Williams. “Zoey Baker returned, not looking too good. Neal Williams stood up, “What’s going on?”
“The tickets for tonight are sold out, and the latest is tomorrow morning. So …”
Neal Williams grabbed his bags and headed out, “I’ll take the high speed train straight back.”
“But the high speed train goes over and there’s a transfer, and it’s already what time in the morning when we get home.” Zoey Baker hurriedly followed behind.
“You don’t have to worry about me. Take a taxi back to the hotel now, and I’ll make my own arrangements for the trip after that.”
“Mr. Williams, why exactly do you have to go back? I’m already tired from getting off the plane, so if I go back with such a turnaround, my body will not be able to survive.” Zoey Baker was also a little upset. This is more than ten hours back and forth.
“I’ve got my own agenda.” Neal Williams walked briskly, stopped abruptly, looked at an uncomprehending Zoey Baker, and laughed, “She’s back!”
The smile between the eyebrows is so vivid, warm and clear. As if for a moment, the sunlight penetrated the clouds and illuminated the whole morning. Even Zoey Baker looked a little lost in thought. Following that, also followed by a smile, “Then I will not follow you, take care on the road.”
Neal Williams didn’t say anything else, exchanged glances with her, and hurried away with his bags.
Looking at the back of the twilight, Zoey Baker smiled with relief. For the first time in more than a year, I did not see the shadow of despondency on him.
The sun, is it never going to set again? From this moment on …
After dinner back to the neighborhood house, Andrea Jones squatted on the floor and began to clean. The house, which had not been returned to for two years, had accumulated a heavy layer of dust. From mopping the floor to wiping the furniture, every little detail was done neatly, and then the family photo was taken out of the luggage and placed on the bed.
Putting her clothes back together again before she lay back in bed to call Sammy Jones on the other side of the world to check in. Turn on the computer and organize the program.
After everything was done, I looked up and saw that the time was already more than 3:00 am.
No sleep at all …
The jet lag has not even changed yet.
She tried very hard to sleep on her own, but, closing the computer and lying on the bed, there was a figure in her mind going around again.
Now, still in Hong Kong, he … is afraid of early deep sleep …
When I thought of him, I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I got up from the bed and poured myself a cup of hot milk. Raise the curtains and stand at the window, looking confused from the top down.
Suddenly …
Two strong beams of light shone in from the entrance of the neighborhood, and then, only to see a car slowly drive in.
Is it a … Hummer?
The light downstairs is not too clear, but the Hummer model is too recognizable, or … such a car, in her mind is too recognizable …
So, she could easily recognize it at the first moment.
The heart tightened, and the hand holding the curtain tightened. Knowing full well that it can’t be him, at this time, he is still in Hong Kong, but …
Surprisingly, she still impulsively walked out of the room and down the stairs.
Think of it as not being able to sleep, come down to get some air!
Down the stairs, standing in the courtyard of the community. Away from the car, just two meters away. The license plate could be seen in a blur.
The familiar four words made her jolt and jaw drop in almost disbelief.
Was it just her eyes? Or is … simply a dream she is having?
With this in mind, the car door, abruptly pushed open.
She even held her breath.
