Chapter 162: Intentionally avoiding?

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

In his life, there is never a shortage of girls of all shapes and sizes. She is more beautiful than her, pretty, beautiful, sexy, and countless. However, it was her, such a girl, timid, sensitive, not really brave, she just came into his life, so he was caught off guard.
So much love, so much love …
Love to the point that, because of her, even life feels like it has a unique meaning.
Carefully holding her head, let her pillow on his lap. She seemed to sleep comfortably, turned around, her little face pressed against his waist, and then, opening her thin arms, embraced him tightly.
He stiffened.
Open mouth, want to ask if she is awake, but, really love such a feeling … love to let him dare not open his mouth to disturb …
For this one fall, God, is it forgivable?
He closed his eyes in pain, and his long arm crossed over, patting her delicate back like a child falling asleep. Obviously feel her slight trembling, he pretended not to notice.
Gradually …
Her breathing evened out again.
This time, she rested on his lap and really fell asleep.
All night long, Neal Williams just looked at her with such fascination and intoxication that he never even let go for a moment. Even without doing anything, I felt so satisfied and happy …
The following day.
It was early in the morning, just after six o’clock.
A cell phone buzzed in the corner of the couch, and Neal Williams reached for it. It was hers, and Sammy Jones’ name was on the screen.
Without much thought, he took the phone and held it to his ear.
“Hello.”
When he heard Neal Williams’ voice, Sammy Jones was clearly stunned for a moment. After a moment of confusion, he said, “How come it’s you?
“Hmm.”
“You guys …” Sammy Jones was nervous, “You … didn’t you say… …”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t touch her.” Neal Williams said astringently, dropping his eyes to look at Andrea Jones. he so so pity her, love her, so … how could he be willing to touch her in this situation?
Sammy Jones breathed a sigh of relief, “Where are you guys?”
“She’s asleep, I’ll have someone take her back later.”
“… good.” Sammy Jones paused for a moment and said, “There are some things that I think it would be better for her to know sooner. I don’t want this kind of thing, by me opening up for you.”
Neal Williams closed his eyes, but couldn’t contain the pain under them, “I know.”
I don’t know how long it took, but when Andrea Jones woke up, Neal Williams was no longer there. Looking at the empty house, she was a bit indescribably lost.
On the dining table, there was the breakfast he had bought.
And a little note, ‘Marshall Johnson is waiting for you downstairs, after breakfast, he will take you back.’ Andrea Jones nuzzled.
He asked Marshall Johnson to give himself a ride? Why not himself?
The breakfast for one person was tasteless. When she walked downstairs, she saw Marshall Johnson waiting for her, who was very enthusiastic and talked about Neal Williams’ past two years all the way.
For example: the second youngest has not genuinely smiled once in the past two years.
Another example: the second young actually lonelier than you, although you are in the United States, can be considered a sister; but the second young in the country, even the old house are not back, like and family cut off. Moreover, men and women are different, women can cry when they are upset, attracting people’s hearts. But men can only be bored up a person, a bored also have to bored two years.
Another example: two young people live in the company every day, colleagues say he is like a homeless child, strange and pathetic.
As Andrea Jones listened, her eyes suddenly became red and she couldn’t stop the tears.
“Miss Jones, don’t cry, if the second youngest knows I made you cry, he’ll have to kill me!” Marshall Johnson was dumbfounded.
He was kind enough to help the second young man earn some sympathy wind, really did not expect to get into this.
“I’m not going back, so you can take me straight to the office.” Andrea Jones said.
“You went to the second youngest, huh?” Marshall Johnson was happy.
“… hmm.” All she wanted to do now was tell him out loud that she wasn’t going to New York. Job or career, she can develop it at home. She wanted to stay, to make him feel better, to give him a home to live in, to keep him warm …
Marshall Johnson drove the car fast at that moment and headed straight to the company. He was sure that if the second youngest knew where her credit lay, she would be commended and rewarded with a salary. The more he thought about it, the happier he became.
But …
When she arrived at the office, Andrea Jones was not happy.
“Sorry, Mr. Williams has just left on a business trip.” The assistant secretary said.
“That can’t be right?” Marshall Johnson grabbed his eyebrows, “Mr. Williams is going on a business trip, how could I not know? We just met this morning!”
“It was a temporary decision. However, it is strange to say, in fact, this trip is not necessary Mr. Williams to go, in fact, it is just a meeting, the supervisor to go the same. But Mr. Williams temporarily decided to go over.”
Neal Williams … actually traveled?
The important business trip in Hong Kong, because he knew she was back, so he rushed back overnight. However, for this less important meeting, he rushed over urgently.
And, not a word of it was ever mentioned to her.
Why?
It always seems that it is all so strange.
Is he, intentionally, avoiding himself?
“Forget it then, I’ll come back to him next time.” Disappointed, very disappointed. She walked out of the company building with a lost mood.
Marshall Johnson followed at a brisk pace.
“Miss Jones, it’s better if I see you off.”
“No, I want to be alone to think about things.” Andrea Jones said.
The disappointment was so obvious that even Marshall Johnson felt sorry for it. “As soon as the second youngest returns, I will definitely let him contact you first, and you should not be unhappy.”
Andrea Jones smiled faintly, “Okay, I’ll wait for his call then.”
Walking out of the office building, Andrea Jones hailed a cab. The moment she got in, a BMW suddenly passed by the cab.
The opposite direction.
Through the window, the young woman inside the BMW, recognized her at a glance.
“Andrea Jones?!” The car, screeched to a halt, and she shrieked. But the cab had already sped away and turned a corner.
Penny Brown got out of the car and looked at the car, her hand pressed against the body, her whole body was shaking, “Andrea Jones? It’s really her!”
That person, even if it is thrown to the bone, she will not be wrong!
What’s more, it was only two years apart!
No wonder, he suddenly wants to divorce himself! So, everything was because of her! Because of Andrea Jones!
After sending Andrea Jones away and seeing Penny Brown, Marshall Johnson was scared to death.
“Nguyen … Miss Brown,” Marshall Johnson greeted.
“Call me Mrs. Chiang! How many times do I need to correct you?” Penny Brown looked at his face and smiled coldly, “Scared like that seeing me, what, did something wrong?”
Marshall Johnson was in a cold sweat. But he shook his head with a straight face, “Of course not! What could I do to lose my heart? But, Miss Brown, if you’re here today, it’s not a good time. He’s really not here at the moment.”
Penny Brown headed upstairs without pausing for a moment. “Do you expect me to believe that?”
Every time she came to him, which time did he not have the same excuse?
“This time it’s true. The second youngest went on a temporary early morning business trip, really!” Marshall Johnson assured, adding, “Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can go up and see for yourself. But, to be honest, in fact, the second youngest is quite eager to see you now.”
Penny Brown looked at her with cold eyes, Marshall Johnson said: “Second young man has already called a lawyer, if I remember the time correctly, now at this hour, should have arrived at Miss Brown your office.”
Penny Brown blushed.
Neal Williams actually had a lawyer come straight to her firm! This way, the whole company is not …
Fruity …
The phone rang. Pulled it out and glanced at it, it was the assistant calling.
“What is it?” She asked without a smile.
“Sister Brown, there is a lawyer in your office. It says that … wants to talk to you about your divorce from Mr. Williams.”
Penny Brown gritted her teeth, “I got it, be right back.”
Before hanging up the phone, and added: “Today you know things, the last word do not say outside, otherwise, you immediately roll things away!”
Threateningly, he hung up the phone and gave Marshall Johnson a hard stare before turning around and hurrying away.
Looking at that back, Marshall Johnson also had a kind of unspoken relief. In fact, these two years he and Penny Brown rarely contact, she has never offended himself, although occasionally a little condescending, but, who told the second young do not like it?
The second youngest does not like the woman, how to look at it is not good. For example, Penny Brown.
The second young man likes the woman, how to look good. For example, Andrea Jones.
That’s the difference!
Penny Brown entered the office with a black face, and the assistant hastily exited with a greeting.
The lawyer was sitting on the couch and when he saw her enter, he stood up, “Miss Brown.”
“Go away, you’re not welcome here.” Without even looking at him, Penny Brown gave the eviction order, “Go back to Neal Williams and tell him that if he wants a divorce, it’s not going to happen!”
After saying this, she returned to her desk and turned the manuscript over with a snap. As if to vent the strong anger in her heart at the moment.
The lawyer did not leave, but stood up and walked to her, handing over the agreement, “Miss Brown, you might want to take a look at the terms offered by Mr. Williams first. From an objective standpoint, it’s definitely substantial.”
Penny Brown grunted and looked up, “Do you think I’m missing these?”
“Miss Brown may not lack these, however, the marriage has been cracked, and there is no point in insisting. To be honest, you know that in less than two months, Miss Brown and Mr. Williams will have been separated for two years, and by then Mr. Williams will file for divorce in court, and with the state of your relationship now, it will be a breeze to get a divorce.”
Separate for two years, file for divorce? And then, immediately marry Andrea Jones?
In the end, everyone is paired up and only she is left? She was left … alone …
Penny Brown’s face appears the slightest crack, in the end is not willing. He spent two years on him for no reason, and in the end, he still had a good time. And, even Lewis Brown … even the man who said he loved him for many, many years also easily changed his heart.
How did she get through these two years?
Going back from the office and facing nothing but a cold home, no! It could not be considered a home, not even a house, but a cold cellar that suffocated her. Every night, she could only numb herself with the sound of the TV, hypnotizing herself, and when the TV was off, the whole world was so quiet that there was no sound, she sat on the empty bed and inexplicably burst into tears.
It was also the time when the hatred for Neal Williams built up inch by inch in my heart.
“Miss Brown, I hope you think this through.” Without saying more, the lawyer turned around and walked away. Holding the agreement, Penny Brown just looked at it and watched as tears soaked the paper.
When she returned from IG, Andrea Jones sat on the couch with the remote control and changed the channel, but no matter how she changed it, she couldn’t gather her thoughts. After half an hour, she turned off the TV, took out her cell phone and dialed Marshall Johnson.
