Dolly carefully twisted the key in the eye of the door, afraid that the sound of the key to open the door was too loud to wake Brayden, she tiptoed to push open the door, not even dare to breathe a breath, is this what it feels like to be a thief, Dolly thought, clenching her back teeth to close the door securely.
The room was still dark, and she had just leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief before she could press the button for the fluorescent light on the wall when a deep, mellow cough sounded behind her.
Instantly Dolly that has not yet finished the breath was stuck, the light from the overhead spilled on her head, familiar with the dark eyes were suddenly so strong light, she could not help but close her eyes tightly.
Brayden’s voice sounded behind him: “It seems that this went out without telling me, and even did not want me to know when I came back.”
Dolly was so nervous that her words became stammered: “I … am afraid of waking you up. … The company is already in enough trouble, I don’t want to add to your troubles… …”
Dolly was silently spitting at herself, but Brayden’s serious face seemed to see through her lies instantly.
“Is that so? Well, how about you just tell us where you … just went?” Brayden’s expression didn’t look angry, and it certainly didn’t look unhappy.
Dolly tilted her head slightly, showing her standard eight teeth and smiling as she answered him, “Guess.”
She swore to God that she had lived so long to be pampered a few times, if this was known, she had to lose all her old face.
“I don’t guess, and I don’t really want to know.” Brayden also imitated her with an odd smile, this person at this time said, I don’t really want to know, in fact, is the mouth, the underlying meaning is, you Dolly if you dare not tell me you’re dead!
When did this person become so arrogant, Dolly thought, soft and hard? No, she must give it her best shot.
The result is that one second also in the heart with their own to say to fight with all their might, resolutely resist the black evil Brayden forces of Dolly, the next second on the precise incomparable stick Brayden’s arm, that voice sweet as if can squeeze out honey.
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you just that, you don’t have to guess, now, still don’t really want to know?”
This reaction is what he Brayden wants to see, where she went he probably already has a bottom in his heart, the main thing is to see whether she is willing to tell him the truth.
Brayden hummed more proudly in a nasal voice, “Well, this time I’m all ears.”
Dolly tilted her head and looked at him, the light in her watery eyes like ripples on the water after rain: “Then … that I said ah … first of all, you are not allowed to get angry, not allowed to lose your temper, not …”
Before she could finish her string of no’s, Brayden beat her to it and said, “No … going behind your back to Jayden right?”
The conversation suddenly came to an abrupt halt, like a card being cut off. It was only after a long time that Dolly asked him, “Did you … know all about it?”
Brayden reached out and flicked her head, “Not knew, guessed, you idiot, how dare you go out behind my back to find him.”
Dolly scowled: “I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to beg the question, I think Jayden is a good man, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt anyone.”
He’s just not going to hurt you. Brayden didn’t say this, and by the time everyone was up in arms, he still wanted Dolly to have the best protection she could get, and she didn’t need to know some of the shady bits.
“There are some things that I really hope you never understand.” Brayden spoke blandly, his thoughts seeming to drift with the wind to nine days away, and Dolly subconsciously asked rhetorically, “What is there to wish I didn’t know?”
If Jayden left you with all the good memories, then let that good him stay in your heart. Hating someone is really tiring, especially hating someone you once trusted. If you can not hate, try not to hate.
Brayden did not say anything, he reached out and put his arm around her back and patted her twice, Dolly soon also reached out and put her arms around his waist, it was too complicated out there, only Brayden’s embrace is her eternal reliance and harbor.
His warm breath came from the top of her head: “At the moment everything and Gale Technologies’ acquisition plan is under control for the time being, and in recent times, apart from our five acquired branches, Gale Technologies has not made any other changes to come, which will leave us plenty of preparation Time, you can rest assured that things are moving in a good direction …”
Finally he heard her say, “I hope you’re well.”
Dolly was buried head deep in his chest, listening to his resounding heartbeat: “The burden that belongs to you is too great, and I am willing to bear it with you.”
Stephen’s office.
A stack of newspapers was casually thrown on his desk and Jayden’s normally gentle face was slightly irritated, “What are you up to?”
Stephen only scanned the newspaper with contempt, and he caught a few key words in a single glance, nothing more than: “Kirkland Group’s bad situation of being acquired is curbed, and the share price is gradually and steadily …”
“What are you worrying about, I just slowed down the acquisition, not abandoned the plan, as for the stock price …” Stephen’s gaze reverted from the phone screen to the newspaper again, and then back to the phone:. “But it’s stabilized at a low point, to be so smug?”
The anger on Jayden’s face didn’t get any better: “What I’m going to ask is why you’re suspending your plans.”
“My …” Stephen muttered the two words, and he raised an eyebrow at Jayden: “Because I suddenly felt that making her happy was something that made me feel happier than making her miserable. ”
The anger on Jayden’s face turned into an unreadable puzzlement, and he inclined his head, “She? Is that the one you turned down?”
Stephen’s heart tightened. He and Jayden’s relationship was even better, and he never mentioned Skyler as a person in front of Jayden, including his rejection, something so humiliating that he never let Jayden know.
“How do you know that?”
Jayden gave a smile, “You said it yourself when you were sleeping.”
Sleeping? He did take a few naps in the office recently, and he’s still thinking about it after such a short break? And talking about it as a dream?
“I suppose that ulterior secret plan of yours, which is your own, has something to do with it.”
Smart as Jayden, he guessed at once that he wouldn’t say Skyler’s name along with his sleep talk.
Jayden pursed his lips and laughed: “Don’t worry, you didn’t tell me who it was, I don’t know anything, but I can more or less guess.”
