This time, Vanessa didn't ask these questions out of curiosity and she wasn't trying to explore what the
relationship between them was. She was just afraid that Winnie would become the other woman.
In her opinion, Winnie was a woman who was beautiful and of refinement. These years, many men
admired her. However, it was difficult for even Vanessa to accept Winnie's being the other woman, not
to mention Aunt Isobel.
"He used to live in this house, so he naturally knows the password. He not only has his bedroom here,
but also has his studio here. His wife knows that he comes here. So it's unnecessary for you to worry
about that. I won't have an affair with him."
Winnie could only lie to Vanessa because she was afraid that Vanessa would can't help telling others
this complicates thing after she knew too much about it.
"In short, you must be careful. I won't ask him to have a meal here anymore. My intuition tells myself
that he doesn't treat you purely as an employee. He doesn't look at you in the way a boss looks at an
empl0yee. Being also careful in the company."
Vanessa still had a good impression of Brian. If he wasn't married or was even divorced, she would
hope that Brian could be Winnie's boyfriend. However, when she was told that Brian was married, she
didn't want Winnie to have an affair with him. After all, in that case, Winnie would become the other
woman.
For unknown reasons, Vanessa had a deep-rooted idea that both her parents and Aunt Isobel hated
the person who was a home-wrecker since she was a child.
"Hmm. Don't worry. I'll be careful. It's late. You should go upstairs, wash with kids and then go to bed.
After all, you have to attend tutoring class tomorrow."
Winnie knew all these before Vanessa told her, but she still became the other woman. She had no
choice. Sometimes she couldn't do as she wished. If she could live as she wished, she would rather
leave with Megan and Luke.
She didn't live a happy life here. It could be said that she encountered many difficulties here. Besides,
she suffered too many grievances and was wronged many times. Sometimes things weren't meant to
be. She was involved in so many things and was the only one who would be sacrificed.
JY went upstairs with two kids. It was already late at night when Winnie finished cleaning. Then, Winnie
poured a glass of water, opened the door of Brian's bedroom gently and crept into the room.
After putting the glass on the bedside table, Winnie turned around and wanted to leave. However, Brian
suddenly embraced her from behind.
"Ah..."
Winnie was so scared that she unconsciously shouted. Before she could react, she had been in bed
and was held tightly in Brian's arms.
"You're awake?"
Winnie asked in a daze. She was so scared that her heart beat in an irregular way.
"No, I didn't drink very much, so I'm not drunk."
Brian said coldly.
He had waited in the bedroom for so long a time that he had lost his patience.
He had intended to go to Winnie's room after other people were asleep. Unexpectedly, Winnie came to
his room.
"You pretended to be drunk?"
Winnie asked in louder voice. She didn't expect that Brian would also play a trick like this.
"Yes. If I didn't, you would ask me to leave."
Brian said openly, not realizing that it was wrong for him to do so.
"You know how to cheat others now. You've learned it from me. It appears that you shouldn't be with
me anymore."
It seemed that Winnie had been used to calling herself a liar. After all, she would feel better if she was
called a liar by herself instead of Brian.
"Then I should thank you. If I hadn't learned it from you, I would have to leave today."
Winnie was surprised when she heard his reply.
"You're becoming glib. I should go back to my room to sleep now."
Brian had high body temperature, but spoke in cold voice. She couldn't bear it, so she had to flee.
However, she failed to push Brian away. Considering that she couldn't even make Brian let go of her,
how was it possible for her to go back to her room?
"I get drunk on purpose to stay here. Don't you understand what I want? Do you think it possible that I'll
let you go after you come to my room?"
There was desire in his cold voice. Then, he turned over and pressed his body against Winnie's.
"Vanessa is here. She is originally suspicious..."
"I don't care. It'll be better if she knows it. If she knows, I'll just stay here."
Then, he could fall asleep.
"In your dreams! Don't you consider my situation? If Vanessa knows it, what're you going to say to
explain our relationship to her?"
It was not as simple as Brian considered. He didn't take it seriously naturally because it wouldn't have
any impact on him. In the future, he could still live a happy life after getting rid of her.
But what about her? She would be under the influence of the unhealthy relationship between them all
her life.
"Can't I tell her that I'm your...boyfriend?"
Brian originally wanted to say that he was Winnie's boyfriend and that they were in love. But they
weren't in love with each other. In fact, it was not accurate to call him Winnie's boyfriend, but Brian
couldn't think of a word that was more accurate.
"You have a wife. Boyfriend..."
Before Winnie finished her words, Brian kissed her lips with strength as if he were punishing her in this
way.
A moment later, Brian stopped the kiss reluctantly.
"I've told you many times that I don't have a wife. In your opinion, can't it be said that I don't have a
wife, unless Penny leave?"
Brian said with dissatisfaction. There was a hint of blame in his voice.
"Yes, I won't admit that you don't have a wife before she leaves."
Winnie acted as if she really thought like that and that she were not of him. However, she knew that
Brian had a beloved woman and therefore he wouldn't marry him even if he divorced Penny.
"Well, just wait. It won't be long before Penny leave."
After saying that, Brian kissed her sexy lips again and began to touch her body.
Winnie wasn't affected by what Brian was doing. She was still thinking about what Brian said.
Did Brian give her a promise? Did Brian mean that he would be with her in the future?
Impossible. Although they had a very intimate relationship, they wouldn't be with each other in the
future.
The next day, Winnie got up very early while Brian still slept sweet. It was rare for Brian to have such a
sound sleep, so Winnie didn't wake him up.
After breakfast, she was going to send kids to school and send Vanessa to tutoring class passingly.
However, Vanessa insisted on taking the subway by herself. Winnie had no choice but to let her do as
she wished.
After arriving at the company, Winnie stayed in her office and concentrated on her work. She even
didn't know when Brian came to work.
In the lunch break, Winnie made a phone call to Vanessa, making sure that she had already had lunch
in the cram school. Then, she left the office and was going to go to the staff canteen to have lunch.
When she just got out of the office, Klara came over.
"Winnie, Mr. Bennet wants you to go to his office."
After they quarreled with each other last time, Klara always treated Winnie in a very serious manner.
Winnie didn't care about that. It didn't matter how Klara viewed her or treated her. She just needed to
do her own part.
"OK, I'll be right there."
Winnie closed the door and went directly to Brian's office.
She opened the door and went in, but didn't find Brian there. Seeing that the door of the lounge was
open, Winnie went over.
The moment she entered the lounge, she saw a hearty lunch on the table. Then, Winnie understood
why Brian asked her to come here.
"You know that I didn't have lunch?"
"Sit down and have lunch."
Before, Brian was lying in bed. Now, he got up and walked over.
"Well, let's eat together."
After setting the table, Winnie ate a mouthful of food before Brian sat down.
"When did you get up?"
Winnie asked as she chewed the food.
"I didn't get up until the housemaid came to do the cleaning. I was so tired last night. If the housemaid
didn't come, I would sleep for a longer time."
Brian said wickedly. Hearing that, Winnie almost spit out the food in her mouth.
Last night they made love for three times. So it was possible that he would be tired. However, Winnie
didn't force him to do so. Why would he say it in such a blunt way?
"If you're tired, go home and have a good rest. No one will force you to come to work."
"It's not up to you whether I'll go home or not. But be careful. I'll come to your home at any time."
Brian wasn't going to go home. Even if he couldn't go to Winnie's home, he would stay in the office or
go to the Bennet’s villa where his grandfather lived.
"Eat, stop talking. Don't come to my home today."
In case Brian would come to her home tonight, Winnie said these words. She didn't want Vanessa to
think much. And she wanted less Brian to interrupt Vanessa's study.
“……”
Hearing what Winnie said, Brian kept silent and his face darkened. However, he listened to what she
said and began to eat.
A moment later.
"I ask you to come here to talk about business."
As they ate, Brian suddenly said.
"What?"
"I acquired MT. You're familiar with that company. I want you to give me advice on who I should keep
and who I should fire."
Brian said in a serious way.
Brian thought that he was going to talk about her work in the Bennet Group. It never occurred to her
that Brian would acquire MT.
Hearing this, she was stunned there and stared at Brian in disbelief with chopsticks in her hand.
"You acquired MT?"
Winnie asked with uncertainty. ，
MT was a professional software company with all kinds of software. It was also the largest domestic
software company and had a lot of foreign cooperative partners.
It was hard to imagine and believe that such a big company should be acquired by Brian.
"Yes, the acquisition was completed yesterday."
Brian said in a certain and confident manner.
"MT is a well-run business. Why would the boss agree to sell it to you?"
Winnie was puzzled. Why would a boss be willing to sell such a highly profitable company?
"However profitable a company is, I can acquire it as long as I want to. The amount of money I offered
is beyond their imagination, so they can't resist the temptation."
Brian wouldn't tell her that the reason why he acquired MT was that MT refused to allow Winnie to
leave. If he told her, it was possible that Winnie would have resistance. She always thought in a way
different from other women. Brian could only conceal the fact from her.
"You're horrible."
Winnie still couldn't calm down. It was a little sudden for her to hear this news.
After all, she started her career in MT and had worked at MT for four years. Although she was unhappy
when she worked there, she still had affection for MT.
Suddenly, Winnie thought of one thing selfishly.
"Can you fire Daniel?"
Since Brian had acquired MT, it would be unavoidable that she would have contact with Daniel. If she
must have contact with Daniel, she would have to overcome a psychological barrier first. She really
didn't want to see him anymore.
"Yes. Can you give me some advice now?"
In Brian's opinion, since Winnie didn't know that Daniel had been banned by him, there was no need for
him to tell her this. Anyway, it wouldn't be of any use to tell her this.
