“You’re really just in a hurry to get back to New York, huh?” Anli asked.
Across the table, Neal Williams looked up at her. In his eyes, there was a question, but no surprise. It was as if the fact was already expected.
Andrea Jones ignored his eyes again and tried very hard, very far-fetched to squeeze out a smile, “Well. There’s a new case over there that I need to work on. If you guys are done, hurry back too, and I’ll see you in New York!”
“Then it looks like we’ll have to meet in New York. When’s the flight?” Anli asked.
Andrea Jones subconsciously wanted to look at someone’s expression across the table, but, in the end, he held back. Take a deep breath and say as calmly as possible, “Just tomorrow …”
After tomorrow, maybe … really is a stone’s throw away.
What was said, two months later, tying will also tie her back. Now think about it, in fact, is just a joke. How to tie? Tied back, and she stands in what position? A third person, or a lover?
She doesn’t even want it!
“Miss Jones, you’re going back to New York tomorrow, huh?” Marshall Johnson, who was following along, also heard Andrea Jones’ words. After Neal Williams remained silent, he couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Andrea Jones had no way to ignore it but to look up and smile at him, “… hmmm.”
“How did this happen so suddenly?” Marshall Johnson lowered his eyes to Neal Williams again.
Neal Williams covered the file and stood up. He was so tall, like he could carry all the storms. What a blessing to be his wife.
His deep eyes swept over, and Andrea Jones’ eyes reddened instantly. Her grip on the file tightened and she locked eyes with him.
“Let’s talk!” Neal Williams’ words were unmistakable.
He swept Marshall Johnson, who immediately had the sense to gesture with the crowd, and all of a sudden, the entire conference room was empty. Only the two of them were left to exist.
Andrea Jones’ eyes fell outside. The conference room is just frosted glass, so even though you can’t see clearly inside, you can get a glimpse of what’s going on.
“Aren’t you afraid of gossip from the sidelines like this? The whole company should know … you’re married …” Andrea Jones’ voice was slightly muffled as she spoke. She looked away and refused to meet Neal Williams’ eyes.
It turns out that between them just so alone together, are supposed to pay attention to the occasion and identity …
“Andrea Jones, I won’t stop you from going back to America.” He spoke, “But, you have to know that I never wavered! This time, I provoked you first, I am not playing around, I will be responsible for what I did, for you!”
Andrea Jones was stunned, just looking at Neal Williams. If he could be responsible for her, how could he be responsible for Penny Brown?
She believes Neal Williams’ feelings for her are, as he says, not playful. But what about his feelings for Penny Brown? No amount of love can beat that marriage certificate!
Neal Williams watched as her figure disappeared into the elevator and he just stood there, Marshall Johnson was so anxious, “Younger, are you really letting Miss Jones go?”
“… hmm.” Neal Williams answered in a low voice, but stood unmoving outside the elevator door.
“She’s leaving, are you sure you don’t regret it?” He looked anxious ah. It’s hard not to say that in the future, the second youngest will become the same as before again?
Neal Williams didn’t say anything. It might be a good thing for her to leave now. He didn’t want to spill over to her again because of his affair with Penny Brown. Leave, but also a kind of protection.
The cell phone in his pocket rang just then, and it was Zoey Baker, who answered it while he was walking to the special elevator to go upstairs, only to hear Zoey Baker say over there, “Mr. Williams, Miss Brown is here, downstairs, and says she wants to see you.”
Penny Brown?
Neal Williams’ face changed, and he didn’t say anything, so he pressed the phone off. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
What’s going on?
Clutching her materials, Andrea Jones caught up with her colleagues who were working together in New York. Walking side by side with Anli, she was about to head out when a figure abruptly entered her eyes.
She was stunned.
The other side was also stunned for a moment.
The woman, sitting in the lounge area, the person on duty at the front desk was talking to her with her head bent carefully. The voice was very small and the attitude was respectful.
For the president’s wife … is to be such an attitude …
Andrea Jones’ heart was already twisted into a twist. She paused for only a moment, and in the next second, pulled Anli’s arm tight and took a quick step, as if to fall away. She didn’t dare to think about the usual images of her and Neal Williams together …
That feeling, scratching my heart!
“Andrea Jones!”
Anli also heard the voice and glanced sideways at her, then at Penny Brown in the lounge area, “Your friend? Seems to be calling you.”
There is no avoiding it. Everything, after all, is going to come. Since we met here, Penny Brown is not going to let himself off easily.
Taking a deep breath, Andrea Jones stood still, straightened her back and slowly turned around.
“It’s been a long time.” She took the initiative to say hello, and she admired herself that she could do so in this situation.
Penny Brown slowly stood up and surveyed her from above and below. “It’s true that you haven’t changed a bit in a long time. What? Come here to see Neal?”
The tone of voice, raging.
Anyone can see the spark between them. Anli also stopped to watch.
Andrea Jones tightened her grip on the file in her hand, her fingertips almost pinching into her flesh. Now this scene is really like a married wife questioning her husband’s mistress outside, very shameful! But, luckily …
They were so close …
Still so close …
Andrea Jones looked at Penny Brown with a cold expression, “Miss Brown, I don’t have to tell you what I’m here for.”
“Don’t you have to? You’re here to seduce Neal Williams, and that’s all you need to tell me about it!” Her cold attitude stung Penny Brown, causing her voice to rise.
That aggressive attitude, so that Anli aside can not look at her, mockingly look at her, said: “You say who seduced Mr. Williams? Anyone with eyes can see clearly that Mr. Williams likes her! It’s you, who are you, asking questions here for no reason at all!”
Andrea Jones wanted to pull Anli, she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, didn’t want to give Neal Williams a hard time – it was his company, after all, and Penny Brown was his wife, aside, and all his employees.
But it was already too late, Anli is always a hothead! The words greatly stimulated Penny Brown, in front of all the staff, her strong self-esteem was provoked, was trampled to pieces, she was not willing?
Andrea Jones , who is a member of the team, is not willing to let her bully her. Raising her hand to block her hand, but …
The other large palm, which came out from behind himself, was one step quicker to clasp Penny Brown’s hand in place.
The tall figure stood behind her, and Andrea Jones could clearly feel the strong heartbeat of his toned chest. It seemed that his body was tense with irritation.
“Penny Brown, have you had enough?” Questioned, his voice as cold as if covered with a thousand years of frost.
Andrea Jones subconsciously looked up at him, his eyes pressing against Penny Brown, harsh and cold. As if sensing her glance, he shrugged off Penny Brown’s hand and looked down at her. The cold eyesight has been restrained and become much gentler.
“Is everything okay?” Three simple words that have scattered too much concern. And … the apology he couldn’t say …
Andrea Jones was on the verge of drowning, on the verge of not being able to hold it together. How she wanted to just lean into his arms, openly and righteously, and tell him she was okay.
But …
The one in front of him is his wife! It is the woman who is truly qualified to do so!
In the end, she shook her head, “… is fine.”
Neal Williams reached out and pulled her behind him, protective and thick. The heat of her fingertips, grazing her skin, made her shiver slightly and she couldn’t help but crave it.
But is it enough to covet?
All of this back and forth was reflected in Penny Brown’s eyes. With red eyes, she stared at Neal Williams and Andrea Jones as if to stare them through, “Neal Williams, are you now blatantly trying to pull her into a third party position?”
When Penny Brown’s words came out, Anli’s face was foggy.
Neal Williams ignored Penny Brown and turned to look at Andrea Jones, giving her a complicated look, “You get out of here, I’ll fix it.”
Andrea Jones knew he was trying to get himself out of this storm, but how was he going to fix it?
Her presence here would only exacerbate the conflict between the couple; it would only allow Penny Brown to make things worse for Neal Williams! She couldn’t ignore his status and reputation.
“Then … I’ll leave you to it.” One look at Neal Williams before she turned around.
How could Penny Brown be willing to let her walk away like that?” Andrea Jones, I’ve been married to Neal Williams for two years, you must already know that! If you come back to Neal Williams, then you are seducing my husband, the shameful third party!”
Mr. Williams was married?
Andrea Jones’ hands were stirred together, her fingertips almost pinched into her flesh, and Penny Brown’s words hit her like a slap in the face, hot and painful.
Neal Williams was furious and looked up at the security guard at the door and bellowed, “Get Miss Brown out of here!”
Penny Brown stared at him incredulously, “Neal Williams, you … how could you do this to me?!”
How could he be so heartless? In front of so many people, how could he ask the security guards to ask her out? How can she still have her face?
“Since you’re the one who’s shameless, I don’t have to show any mercy!” Neal Williams’ face is all merciless, “Next time bring me the divorce papers, or, I’ll see you in court! And …”
His words, there was a pause.
All eyes looked at him, except for Andrea Jones, whose eyes fell only on Andrea Jones’ face.
Penny Brown, if you still have pity on yourself and want to leave the last bit of dignity for yourself, I advise you not to make any more trouble.”
Penny Brown’s face was red for a while, white for a while.
He vetoed his feelings for her in front of everyone, putting her in the most pitiful and pathetic situation. So much so, that she is now like a madman who came to be unreasonable without the love of her husband!
Crazy!
She’s just crazy!
The madman who knows he can’t get it, but won’t give up!
She was lumbered out by security, while Andrea Jones was still standing there, and Neal Williams walked right up to her.
“Don’t think too much about it, I’ll walk you out.”
Andrea Jones said nothing, walking beside him, and she suddenly wanted to ask him why on earth he had married Penny Brown, when they didn’t seem to have any feelings at all. But such a messy situation was not the occasion to ask such questions either.
