Winnie had a simple and reasonable idea. In her view, except Daniel, all employees of MT were
talents.
"Yes, I can. Their Chairman won't work for you. You don't need to change any of those senior
executives. MT won't be able to make such an achievement if they didn't cooperate with each other
and work hard. It's enough to send a leader there."
"Leader? Would you like to have a try?"
Brian mentioned it in such a sudden way that Winnie stopped the move of putting food into her bowl
and became nervous.
A moment later, she withdrew her hand, put her chopsticks on the table, pretended to be calm and
asked.
"Does that woman come back? Must I leave?"
This was the first idea Winnie had when she heard what he said. In her opinion, when he asked if she
wanted to be the leader, Brian hadn't considered her ability, just wanting her to leave B City. There was
only one reason for him to do so: the woman he loved came back. So, she became the one who got in
his way and she should leave.
"No, she hasn't come back."
Speaking of that woman, Brian was not in a good mood.
"Then I'm not going. I can develop software, but I have neither the talent to run a business nor the
ability to be a leader. In short, I'm not the right person for that position."
After saying that, Winnie stood up. Feeling sad now, she was not in the mood to eat. But she still tried
to cover the fact that she felt lost.
"I'm full. You take your time."
After saying that, Winnie turned around and left.
He shouldn't have a meal with her in that way. In the end, she not only was not full, but also felt sad.
If that woman came back, Winnie wouldn't accept the job Brian found for her. Although she couldn't
leave this city, she didn't want to have anything to do with Brian after that woman came back.
Seeing that Winnie leave like that, Brian felt bad. He could see that Winnie wasn't full and that she still
wanted to eat more food. But Winnie lost her appetite after hearing a word from him.
Temporarily, Brian wasn't going to leave Winnie, but he had to make preparations for Winnie's future.
Winnie used to live in A City and she had worked in MT. In Brian's opinion, it would be best for her to
work in MT.
He wanted to transfer Winnie to MT in the name of the company when Wendy came back. It was good
for everyone. Most importantly, he could still meet Winnie when he was on a business trip.
Brian knew that it was selfish to do that, but he would be in a panic and dared not face the reality when
he thought that Winnie would leave.
When he was lost in thought, he received a phone call from Penny who asked him to go to her parents'
home with her. Brian didn't remember that he should go to Penny's parents' home with her today until
Penny called to remind him.
Although he was very reluctant to do so, he still went to the Burns house with Penny after he got off
work. They visited Penny's parents perfunctorily. After having dinner, they went home.
On the way back.
Brian had drink with Richard and Penny's elder brother in the Burns house, so Penny had to drive the
car.
Brian drank too much wine because he was in a bad mood. He asked Penny to send him to the
company. Then, he was so dizzy that he didn't notice that Penny was driving in the direction of his
home.
Penny stopped the car when she saw a convenience store on the roadside.
"It appears that you're not feeling well. I'll get off the car and buy a bottle of water for you."
Brian looked around and found that there was no a bottle of water in the car, so he didn't stop Penny.
He was thirsty now and really needed water.
After Penny got off the car, he looked at his mobile phone absentmindedly, not noticing what Penny
had bought. Soon Penny returned and got in the car.
"I'll twist off the bottle cap for you."
As Penny said, she twisted off the bottle cap with force and then handed it to Brian.
At this moment, Penny was considerate. Therefore, Brian let his guard down. He took the bottle of
mineral water and gulped down water without thinking anything.
When they were almost home, Brian became sleepy and had a clouding of consciousness.
"Brian, you're too drunk to work. Just live at home tonight. You haven't come back for so many days
that the servants all asked me where you had been."
Penny asked Brian to stay.
Brian felt dopey and thought that they had arrived at the company, so he agreed without listening to
what Penny said seriously.
"Ok."
Penny supported Brian into the house, after which he realized that he wasn't in the company. However,
he was so sleepy now that he went straight back to his room instead of doing anything else.
After entering his bedroom and seeing his big bed, he was so sleepy that he took off his clothes and
directly fell asleep on the bed before washing.
After putting the kids to bed, Winnie went back to her bedroom. Lying in bed, she couldn't sleep and
always remembered what Brian said today. After hearing what he said, she had a sense of crisis and
felt that that woman might come back at any time.
Winnie didn't want herself to lose sleep just because of a word from Brian, so she played with her
mobile phone to distract herself.
As she looked at her mobile phone, she suddenly received a message.
Winnie opened the message. Seeing that it was from Penny, she became intense. Penny sent a video
to her. Winnie originally didn't want to watch the video, but she still couldn't help opening the video in
the end.
However, it made her heart ache a lot to give the video a glance.
In the video, Brian and Penny were lying naked to the hips on the bed. The lower parts of their bodies
were covered with quilts. It seemed that Brian was asleep. Penny lay prone on his body, covering her
breast.
Seeing such a picture, Winnie didn't know how to describe her present mood. She was sad, painful,
bitter, and angry.
At noon today, Brian told her that he wouldn't go home and that he was exhausted.
Was he really exhausted? If he was exhausted, why was he so energetic just now? If he didn't want to
go home, why did he lie in a bed with Penny now? Damn Brian. He lied to her. It was he who was a real
liar.
He said that he didn't sleep in the same room with Penny and that he had never slept with Penny. Now,
he contradicted what he said. Now, he didn't need to make any promises at random anymore. A liar! A
liar! A greatest arrant liar!
Winnie kept cursing Brian angrily in her heart. But what could it change? They was a couple. It had
nothing to do with her whether they slept together or not.
Winnie forced herself to calm down. She knew that Penny was showing off and provoking her. But she
didn't care. Anyway, Brian was neither her husband nor her boyfriend and Penny would be abandoned
one day.
Winnie looked at the title below the video--my husband was extremely handsome even if he was
asleep.
To be honest, Winnie was quite envious of Penny for her being able to call Brian her husband openly
and for her being universally recognized as the wife of Brian.
But she couldn't even be called a secret lover or the other woman. She was but a woman who Brian
slept with when he was lonely. Therefore, no one cared when she was angry or painful. Only she felt
sad.
Winnie turned off her mobile phone, but she was doomed to be awake all night.
Brian thought that he couldn't fall asleep here, but he had a probably soundest sleep on this night.
Before he opened his eyes, he felt that the sun was shining on him and stretched himself. Before he
fully extended his arms, he touched something.
In an instant, Brian opened his eyes and sat up with force.
He widened his malicious and insidious eyes angrily and looked at Penny who was lying beside him
inconceivably, his mind going blank in an instant.
What happened? Why was Penny in his room? What happened between them?
Thinking of this, Brian pulled up the covers. Seeing that he was naked, he flared up instantly with angry
eyes.
"Penny, what happened? Explain this to me!"
Brian woke Penny up in anger.
However, Penny looked lazy and happily opened her eyes at this moment.
"Brian, you're awake."
Penny knew that Brian was awake. She was frightened a lot when she heard the roar of Brian.
However, Penny had been fully prepared before she slept in the same bed with Brian. Therefore, she
didn't open her eyes calmly until her fear subsided.
"I told you to explain why you're in my bed."
Brian roared loudly again, frightening others like a male lion that was fighting for territory.
"I...You asked me to come here. It was you who asked me to sleep in your bed. Brian, could it be that
you've forgotten it? Did you get a blackout drunk?"
Penny looked surprised. As she spoke, she sat up. She even didn't care when the upper part of her
body wasn't covered and her breast was exposed.
"Cover your body."
Brian was furious. Her body was exposed in front of him and he couldn't even avoid seeing it. However,
he felt that Penny was disgusting at this moment and that she was a bad person.
Feeling scared, Penny hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her body. Then, she put on an aggrieved
expression.
"Brian, it was really you who asked me to come here. We had been married for more than four years.
Have I ever entered your room without your permission? I was happy that you're finally willing to sleep
with me. But now, you act as if I had done something wrong."
As Penny spoke, she lowered her head with tears in her eyes.
As a matter of fact, her heart was palpitating at this moment. She feared that she would tell him the
truth because she was frightened by Brian's anger. She also feared that Brian would terminate the
contract with the reason that she had broken the terms.
Now, she felt that she was gambling. If she won, she would have more bargaining chip in the future. If
she lost, she would leave immediately. It depended on how well she acted whether she could stay or
left.
Come on, Penny! You must seize this rare opportunity.
"I took the initiative to do it? How could I take the initiative to do it after I drank so much wine?"
Brian couldn't believe what Penny said. However, he got too drunk and really forgot everything.
Sleeping in a bed with Penny naked, Brian felt nauseous, thought that he had no taste and was guilty
of Winnie.
"Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to say that nothing had happened? This is the
truth. How can I lie to you?"
Penny got up the courage to be assertive, but she dared not say too much.
"Brian, don't worry. Although it was you who took the initiative to do it, I am an adult and I can shoulder
the responsibility. Although it's agreed in the contract that we can't have physical contact that is too
intimate, I won't ask you to be responsible for it because I did that voluntarily."
Then, Penny got out of bed naked, picked up the bathrobe on the ground, wrapped herself with it and
then left.
She couldn't go on acting anymore. If Brian lost her temper again, she would confess. To avoid wasting
the effort she made to cheat him, she had to flee first.
