It was late in the evening before Brayden pushed his way in, tired and his mind fully occupied with board business.
“You’re finally back.” Knowing the crisis at Kirkland Group, Dolly made it a point to say hello to her manager and leave work early so she could get back before Brayden.
Brayden buried himself deep in the couch while taking the lemonade Dolly handed over.
“Don’t drink coffee all the time these days, it’s not good to carry stress all the time.” Dolly sat down beside him and thoughtfully went up to help him press his shoulders.
In just a few days, Gale Technologies had acquired five Kirkland Group subsidiaries. With such a huge acquisition, she really felt it would take a long time to prepare, and although she didn’t want to turn the tables on all the company’s employees, it was really hard not to think about whether there was a spy in the middle of the information leak.
“Do you have any clue now?” Dolly said softly, “When you come home, just put these things aside, your body is the essence of the revolution, only when you take care of yourself can you have the strength to come up with the appropriate countermeasures.”
“Dolly, today at the board meeting, they questioned me, they questioned my ability, they questioned the way I run my business, their mindset, always stuck on seniority is everything …” Brayden’s voice was lower than usual.
Dolly held his hand tight: “Don’t take what they say to heart, I believe you!”
Brayden will drink the glass of lemonade, between his lips and teeth full of sour, as his mood at the moment. But Dolly took his hand, is a constant source of strength to him, this hand, can always bring him unlimited forward momentum.
Dolly lightly smiled, she went forward to embrace Brayden, in his ear whispered: “Brayden, I said, no matter what difficulties we are about to face, I will work together with you through, even if all people do not believe in you, you have to remember, you always have me, I am by your side, never leave. ”
“Never leave …” Brayden slowly hold Dolly’s fingertips, feel her slightly cool breath, sweet, delicate. Like an April peach blossom, pink and white, light, waving in the wind. Then, the explosion of unbridled fragrance, drowning him, inexorable.
This woman, never, stood aside from him.
In this life, he can be with her, what more could a husband want.
Stephen had a very smooth drive to Mitchell Group this time, and he ghostly chose the road that was blocked by a domineering, egotistical and nervous woman with her red Bentley that day.
His hand on the steering wheel, there is not a knock up and down, the red light before the vehicle neatly listed in rows and rows, rules and regulations, four square. He surprisingly felt a little bit of indescribable loss, this thought in his mind the first second, he laughed at himself for a long time.
Lost what ah, Stephen, you are not a masochist, actually think of that kind of dominant female, but if someone can give him a chance to see her again, Stephen thought, he should also not refuse.
Mitchell Group four big words in the sun’s light emitted an extraordinarily harsh light, Stephen locked the car, with a hand to cover the sun above his head, the sun is too big today, Stephen shaded all the way into the building, the security guard at the door to see him in formal wear, although do not know the man in front of him, but still towards him a ninety degree bow.
When I walked into Mitchell Group’s front office parlor, I was greeted by a large gold front desk, which made Stephen’s eyes shake even more when he was blinded by the sun, giving him a vicious sense of landlord’s home.
There are a lot of green cropped potted plants, most of the people working in the company use their eyes a lot, green plants can also be a good protection for the eyes. On the side of the leather sofa, there are also a few boss-like people sitting watching the phone and drinking morning tea.
“May I ask who you are looking for?” The receptionist lady had an official way smile on her face.
Stephen smiled more officially than she did, “I’ll see your chairman.”
“You need to make an appointment in advance to see the chairman of the board please have you made an appointment?” The receptionist was courteous.
Stephen shook his head, then pulled out a business card from his suit pocket, and the receptionist took it and gently told him, “The chairman’s office is on the twenty-sixth floor.”
Stephen walked to the elevator and found the 26th floor button among the buttons. When the elevator door slowly closed, leaving only a gap as wide as the palm of his hand, Stephen thought there was something wrong with the elevator, so he pressed the button to cut the head inward again, and as he pressed that button, an ear-piercing scream nearly pierced his eardrums.
Stephen then found that the door was about to close in the crack pressed a slender white hand, he reacted to rush to press the door open button, the woman outside the door squeezed in with great haste.
“Excuse me.” Stephen said.
“Aren’t I blocking the elevator door? Why are you still closing the elevator door.”
Stephen’s heart suddenly missed a beat at the sound of this voice, and he turned his head to look at the person next to him, the girl was still rubbing the hand she had been crushed on.
“I say how … you are,” she said as she looked up at the tall figure beside her, which met Stephen’s eyes looking at her, deep and delicate.
“It’s you!” The two men spoke in unison.
Skyler quickly turned her face away as she let out a soft laugh, “What do you think we call this? A bad match?”
“It seems I’m an ingrate in your eyes, thanks to the fact that I helped you fix your car last … time,” Stephen replied.
It’s good if you don’t say that, but once you do, Skyler held up her hand that was crushed by his closing door and waved it in front of him a few times, her hand was visibly red where it was crushed: “Look, you just crushed my hand, is that even?”
The conversation seems to be carried out only here, the two people are relatively speechless, with the number of floors rising, Stephen felt the heart blocked, as if what not to say later there will be no opportunity to say the same, she is going to the floor is the twentieth floor, looking at the arrival, Stephen did something he had not thought of.
He broke the awkward silence between the two, and the voice he said was not very loud, but in this small elevator room, a tiny bit of sound became very loud: “Your hand, is it okay …?”
Skyler was obviously also surprised by his sudden question, they had only met twice, but he left her the impression of the kind of knife mouth, poisonous to the limit, but so “kind” to ask her hand, a moment she could not even care about the injuries on her hands, her body only felt frightened, and an indescribable strange The feeling.
