Brian wanted to say he had finished his supper, but he was embarrassed that his stomach growled.
"I have not had supper, I mean. Why don't we take the kids to eat outside?"
Leo wanted to spend more time with Winnie and tried to find out if she needed help.
"I..."
Winnie hesitated for a moment.
"All right. I didn't thank you for fixing my car, it's my treat then."
Listening to Leo's hungry grunt, thinking of his help to her, Winnie did not refuse.
They came to a barbecue shop outside the community. The business of the barbecue shop was good,
and there was no room anymore, so that could only sat by the window.
Leo only asked the two children what they wanted to eat and then ordered. After the baked food was
served, Winnie found that everything except the children's food was her favorite.
"Eat, they are what you like to eat."
Leo said kindly.
They became a couple abroad. Winnie liked to eat barbecue, but it was difficult to find authentic flavor.
Every time he took Winnie out, Winnie would say what kind of barbecue she liked to eat, so Leo
remembered it.
At that time, Leo had more than once promised to take Winnie to have delicious barbecue when they
got home, but they broke up before they returned.
Thinking of that, Leo felt guiltier and became serious on face.
"Thank you! You eat too, you are hungry"
Winnie thanked him for still remembering her favorite.
They had a nice time at the table, but Brian in a luxurious car parked outside the window was gloomy
on face.
He was staring at Winnie's bright smiling face.
From the moment Winnie came back, he was inexplicably worried. He was in a hurry to get everything
done and took the last flight back, just to see if she felt better.
But seeing her happy smile was for the man sitting opposite her, Brian longed to cover her beautiful
face, and even wanted to fill her dimple with plaster.
Brian thought that Winnie did not come back for Luke. She did not get what she wanted from him, so
she turned her target to Leo.
Winnie and Leo came back with the two children. They saw Brian standing at the door as soon as they
got off the elevator.
Leo said nothing and walked toward his home with a smile.
Winnie took a look at Brian, and then approached him with a blank expression, holding Luke more
tightly, for fear that Brian took Luke away.
Sure enough...
"I am here to pick up Luke."
Brian said coldly and the anger in his eyes was obvious.
"He will stay here today."
Winnie subconsciously pulled Luke closer.
"Daddy, can I stay with Auntie for a few days?"
Luke timidly said. This time Penny hit him more serious than ever, he did not want to see her.
"No."
"Yes."
One was icy, the other was unwavering.
"I have developed a new voice program that can be used in the phone's calculator, which no other
manufacturer has. If you agree to let Luke stay with me, YB will make a new chapter in the history of
mobile phones."
Brian came suddenly. Winnie had not come up with a good way, so she could only sacrifice the newly
developed software.
"......"
Brian frowned and said nothing. Winnie's offer really caught his attention. But such a patent-level piece
of software would earn a lot if she sold it.
Why Winnie used it to let Luke stay?
Winnie knew that Brian was attracted by her offer, so she continued.
"We will talk about it tomorrow in the company. They children are tired and should have a rest."
Winnie said, while inputting password to open the door. Regardless of Megan, she pushed Luke into
the room, for fear that Brian would regret.
To her surprise, Brian walked in. He changed into slippers, took off the coat and tie, as if he would stay
too.
Winnie would not have any fierce debate with Brian, for fear of affecting Luke.
She said nothing and took two children to take bath. After the children fell asleep, Winnie ignored Brian
sitting in the living room and went directly back to her room.
Winnie lying on the bed had been listening carefully. If Brian entered her room, he would agree to
divorce, but if he didn’t, Brian would choose Penny.
When Winnie got up the next day, Brian had already left. After sending her children to school, she went
to the company.
The most important thing today was to work out the agreement that they didn't reach last night.
Winnie came to the president's office directly. Brian was on the phone, Winnie stood aside and did not
disturb him.
Seeing that Brian was on the phone, she remembered that he was on the phone too when she rushed
to his room that day.
But his voice was not cold on that day. And he frowned when he saw her. Who he called to?
Parents? Brothers and sisters? Penny? Or someone else?
But no matter who it was, this person could make Brian be less cold, it was not an ordinary person.
Since Winnie came in, Brian's cold eyes never left Winnie.
As she said, she was more beautiful than Penny, more intelligent and talented than Penny, more
elegant than Penny. Winnie was that kind of elegant and lovely woman, and her temperament changed
as her work and the environment.
When she was at work, she was like a proud but talented princess; when she was with children, she
was like a lively girl. Sometimes she was composed, sometimes she was stubborn as a little girl. When
she was stubborn, she looked lovable.
Brian's thoughts stopped suddenly. How could he describe Winnie's stubbornness with loveliness?
Wasn't she the most disobedient woman?
Thinking of this, Brian’s deep eyes suddenly became cold and he hung up the phone.
"What do you think?"
Brian got to the point directly. He cared about that, and his tone became cold.
"I can give you the software unconditionally, but I want Luke to stay with me."
Winnie did not hesitate to answer. She seemed to have been accustomed to Brian's cold attitude to
her, so she did not care about it.
"I can let Luke stay with you, but I have more demands."
Brian thought it was Winnie’s way to be Mrs. Bennet. No matter what she would do, Brian was
confident that he could play with her.
His answer should meet the requirement of Winnie. But there were still questions in his mind, but he
couldn't ask now.
Brian's answer let Winnie see hope.
"What is your next demand?"
Winnie was looking forward to it. She would agree to whatever she could do.
"Come to work for me."
Brian's tone was tough. With a frown, he fixed his cold eyes on Winnie.
It was a rare opportunity; he had to make Winnie stay. She was a cheater in life, but she was capable
in work. So Winnie was indispensable to him.
Winnie thought for a moment.
"Yes, but the work contract should be equal, not like last time you have the right to fire me but I did not
have the right to resign."
Winnie had no other demands than equality of work contract. She needed this job and only be close to
Brian, could she stay with Luke.
"Deal."
"Wait a minute."
Brian has got what he wanted, and Winnie had not finished hers.
"Mr. Bennet, you haven't heard my terms carefully. I wanted Luke to live with me not for a day, not for a
month. He has to live with me as long as I am in this city."
Winnie must tell him that clearly, for fear that Brian regretted about it.
“Why?”
Brian's voice was clear and cold, and his dark eyes showed his doubts.
"Megan likes to be with Luke. She has no friends here and relies on Luke."
Winnie could only use Megan as an excuse.
"Go on."
Megan was a good shield, a weapon that Winnie conquered him, so Brian agreed.
"When I am on a business trip, when I have no time to take care of them, you send them to the
Chairman’s. I don't want Luke to have more contact with Penny. She can’t teach him well."
Winnie had her lesson and did not call him grandpa. She learnt that the so-called grandpa was the
chairman of the Bennet Group. According to Luke, the chairman was very fond of him, so she was
relieved.
"She is Luke's Mommy. There are occasions where she has to take him. Don’t you go too far?"
Brian's voice was cold and disdainful. His eyes were horrible, feeling like heavy wind would violently
come at any time.
"Fine, he can go with her for some events, but you have to be there with him."
In any case Winnie did not want Penny to stay with Luke alone, she could not let her son live in fear.
"Anything else?"
"No."
Winnie took a deep breath, not expecting things to be solved so quickly. Although she suspected Brian
and was afraid of him to set a trap for her, but now she had no choice, even if it was a trap, she had to
jump into it for Luke.
"Go to the personnel department and entry to your job."
Brian did not delay a moment, hoping to hire Winnie as soon as possible.
"I can't do it now. I haven't done the demission formalities in MT. I'll finish my work before I go back."
Winnie had not settled demission formalities yet, so she was still an employee of MT.
"I'll take care of MT. You don't have to go back. Do your job well."
Brian was concerned. Winnie was a talent, if she stayed when she went back, he would be in vain. And
he must conquer this woman.
