She had some impression of this David. He seemed to be a major shareholder of the Wilson. Tom of the Wood Group entered not long after he entered a private room.
Mr. Baker and Wood Group also had cooperation contacts, so Millicent also knew Tom. Why did the two of them get together today? Millicent felt very strange.
Listening to their conversation at the door, Millicent’s expression changed little by little.
She had heard about the case in the east of the city. She had heard from Elio and Mr. Baker that Mr. Baker was doing another project recently, so the area in the east of the city did not intend to get involved.
On the other hand, Elio would occasionally talk to her about her and Irene’s work. Recently, he often mentioned news about the east of the city, so it was obvious from his words that he attached great importance to this case.
When Millicent returned to the dining table, her friend found that her face was even uglier than before.
“Millicent, are you having diarrhea because of bad food?” she asked with some concern.
At this time, Millicent was thinking about what she had just heard. She didn’t listen to what her friend said. Even outsiders could see that Elio liked Irene. What was she?
She thought that she could gradually replace Irene in Elio’s heart, but now it seemed that her persistence was like a joke.
Elio! Irene! These words were like a curse, lingering around her, making her breathless.
“Millicent, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?” Seeing that Millicent did not speak for a long time, his friend became more worried. He stood up and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
“I don’t feel well. Let’s go back.” Millicent was afraid that David and the others would see her when they came out, so she thought it was better to leave first. After all, she often went to the company, and David probably knew her.
“Oh.” His good friend felt a little pity. Looking at Millicent, he didn’t seem to be lying. He thought that it would be the same if he came next time, so he said goodbye to Millicent.
Why did she always lie to herself? It was obvious that Irene was the only one in Elio’s heart who could not tolerate anyone else.
No! It was not like that. Elio still had her in his heart. Otherwise, why did he always ask her out and confess to her later?
She was only a little short of entering Elio’s heart. It was Irene… It was Irene who had been using the company’s matters recently to make it so that Elio couldn’t get rid of her.
Since Edward fell into the sea at the wedding, the two of them had been very close. They said that it was because of the company, but who knew what they did behind the scenes?
What’s more, Elio had been secretly in love with Irene. He knew that Irene had never let go of her after getting married. Seeing that Irene had a bad relationship with Edward at the beginning, he even wanted to take her away.
Now that Edward was gone, would he start over with Irene again…
I don’t believe these two people will do this to me. One is my favorite person, and the other is my best friend. How can I think of them like this?
Millicent felt that she was about to be mentally split. Two voices were constantly arguing in her mind.
One kept shouting that there was an unspeakable secret between Elio and Irene, while the other retorted that they were not people like that.
Her rational mind told her that it was wrong to think so, but when she recalled what she had seen and heard before, Millicent’s heart gradually tilted to another voice.
After Edward fell into the water, she and Elio stayed by Irene’s side to comfort him. Elio was even more worried about Irene than she was, for fear that she would have any improper thoughts.
It was nothing, but Irene could understand. After all, Elio had loved Irene for so many years. It was impossible for him to let her go in such a short time.
However, after Irene took over the company, there was no one she could trust at the moment. She asked Elio for help, hoping that he could help her. Elio readily agreed.
Millicent was not a petty person, but had these two considered her feelings?
There were a few times when she went to look for Irene and met some intimate scenes between the two of them.
At first, she didn’t care, but then…
Could it be that Irene wouldn’t look for anyone else other than Elio? There weren’t any loyal subordinates of Edward, so why didn’t they look for Elio? Even if she was a saint, Millicent had some complaints about her good friend.
Every time he came out alone with Elio, he was either talking about the company or Irene.
Millicent couldn’t help but grasp the collar of her clothes. She took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. She calmed down slowly.
She really felt pain in her heart, as if someone had dug out her heart and put it on the fire to blow it up. However, she couldn’t say anything, and only she could swallow all the suffering.
No matter how unwilling she was, so what? This was her choice.
Through the rearview mirror, the driver in front looked at his young lady’s elusive face. In the past, her young lady was a very quiet and virtuous person, who was also a little naive. It was easy to see through her thoughts.
But now he found that Miss was a little hard to see through, as if there was a layer of hazy gauze between them.
He could often see the happy expression on her face, but it was hard to see it recently. He had seen her sad and lonely several times.
He felt that Miss had changed a little, but he could not tell exactly what had changed.
…
“Hello, Irene, where are you?” Millicent adjusted her mood and dialed Irene’s number.
“I’m at the company.” Irene was thinking about a perfect proposal when her mobile phone suddenly vibrated. She had planned to pick it up, but she picked it up when she saw that it was a call from Millicent.
“Are you busy? I didn’t disturb you.”
“No, you’re too polite.” Irene looked at the proposal in her hand and said with a smile.
“I want to talk to you about that…” Millicent hesitated for a long time and decided to tell her about David.
“Is it from Irene?” A man’s voice came from Irene’s cell phone and reached Millicent’s ears clearly.
He interrupted Millicent’s next words. Although his voice was not loud, Millicent knew who he was.
Millicent suddenly heard Elio’s voice, which stopped abruptly as if it had been pressed on a button. She thought that Irene was alone, but she didn’t expect that.
That’s right. The two of them stayed together for almost half a day. She wanted to say the latter part of her words, but she pressed down on her mouth as if she had something to say. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t say it.
“What do you want to say?” Irene asked.
“No, it’s nothing.” Millicent smiled bitterly. No one knew what he was thinking or if he should find another chance to talk about it with Irene.
“I’ll hang up first. Irene, you and Elio should be busy.” After that, Millicent hung up the phone quickly. She was afraid that Irene would hear the strangeness in her voice.
Irene felt a little strange. It seemed that there was something she wanted to tell her. Why…
“What did Millicent say?” Elio asked.
“Nothing.”
“Where did we say we were?” Elio did not doubt him. He just thought that Millicent would call and care about Irene for no reason.
“Here.” Irene pointed to a place in the plan and the two of them began to discuss it again.
It wouldn’t take long for that piece of land to be auctioned. They had to speed up and perfect the plan.
Irene was confident that with the strength of the Wilson, it should not be a big problem to take that piece of land.
As long as the land was finished, the plan could be immediately put on the agenda, and it would not take too much time to carry out the plan.
…
Several cans of paint fell off when Susie was packing in the grocery store.
“Be careful of being hit to the end.” The sharp-eyed Liam saw it and pulled Susie into his arms.
“Stupid.”
“I didn’t see it. You are stupid.” Susie leaned in Liam’s arms, and in the next second, she quickly distanced herself from him.
However, the grocery store room was not big. Liam’s tall figure came in, which made the space even more narrow. Although Susie was far away from him, she just moved a little to the side.
Looking at the paint rolling down from the shelf, Liam bent down and picked it up curiously. “Is this paint?”
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a drawing board that was covered with white cloth and was still a little dusty. “You can draw?” Liam walked over and wanted to pull the canvas away.
“Don’t look.” Susie wanted to hold Liam’s hand to stop him, but the space was so small that she couldn’t move. She accidentally fell on Liam again.
Liam pulled open the canvas and teased her, “Susie, you’ve been hitting me recently.”
When Susie heard this, her face immediately became like a cooked shrimp. “Who touched you? You’re so narcissistic.”
“Susie, it turns out that you can draw.” Liam was a little surprised. He didn’t know why, but when he learned that Susie could draw, he had a very kind feeling in his heart.
It seemed that there was a very important person in his life who was particularly good at painting. He was also a painter who had held many movies. Liam was a little uncertain.
Susie saw that the canvas had been pulled away, so she no longer stopped Liam and let him watch.
This was an oil painting of a house. Judging from the shape of the house, it was not hard to tell that it was painted based on Susie’s house.
Although the drawing method was still a little immature, it was undeniable that the artistic conception of this painting was very good. It could be seen that the painter was very talented in painting.
“The painting is pretty good. Why can’t I see it?” Liam was a little confused. She had known Susie for some time, but now she knew that she could draw.
