The next day Winnie paid the deposit and went to work. The formalities would be dealt with when she
had time. Nevertheless, after paying the deposit, she felt more at ease and had a faint feeling of a
home.
Her home had broken up since her parents died. Although she had lived with aunt and sister for so
many years, but always felt that she was homeless.
Now she wanted to settle down. She wanted a city that could accept her, a home that would accept her
and a simple life with her family and children.
Brian's office.
Albert knocked at the door and came in.
"Mr. Bennet, Winnie bought a house in our construction company, and the deposit had been paid."
"Full payment or a loan?"
Brian asked in a cold voice.
"It's a loan. That house is a decorated duplex with high material. The sell price is 20 million. Winnie
does not have the money to pay the full amount now."
Albert was serious.
He knew all about Winnie, because Brian had sent him to investigate her secretly.
He knew she got a new job and a new house.
Because he was very clear, he was worried Winnie got too much pressure and she could not bear it.
"Silly woman, since she has no money, why gave me back the money?"
Brian said angrily, but he was annoyed because he was worried about Winnie.
"Lower the price of the house, pay the difference with my personal account. Don't let her know."
"And help her with work."
Brian commanded.
Winnie would not accept the one hundred million Brian gave to her. The only way to help Winnie now
was to find an excuse to lower the price of her house.
"I'll do it."
Albert received the order and left.
Brian had no intention to work. He got up and came to the landing window.
He looked anxiously into the distance. He could not see the clear sky outside, nor could he see the tall
buildings. All he could see was Winnie's strong and optimistic smiling face with dimples, and the scene
of her crying from time to time.
In short, his head was full of Winnie.
What was he going to do with this stupid woman? He wanted to forget her, but he found it painful, but if
he did not forget her, their relationship had come to an end. He had never experienced this kind of
torture, so it was a hard time for him.
Brian was in pain. Wendy called.
Brian frowned and showed impatience, but finally he answered the phone.
"Wendy."
His voice was low without any passion.
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy or tired?"
Wendy showed her concern to Brian. She could heard that his voice was different.
"I am tired."
Brian raised his voice and it sounded better.
But every time Wendy called, he thought of Winnie and always compared the two women.
Although there was no need to compare, he always wanted to find the disadvantage of Winnie, so that
he could forget her. However, he did not find anything wrong.
"Rest if you're tired. Brian, have a holiday and come to see me, and then we can go back together.”
Wendy proposed Brian to pick her up, but Brian froze.
There was a month to go, so there was only one month for him and Winnie. If he went abroad, their
meeting at the office would have been the last.
"I can't take a holiday now because I'm busy. If you feel lonely to come back alone, I will ask Albert to
pick you up."
Brian rejected Wendy on the grounds of work. He did not want to go abroad. During this time, he even
pushed off the business of going abroad, just for the chance encounter with Winnie.
"Oh, all right then."
Wendy was disappointed. Although she did not see Brian, from his tone, Wendy could hear that he had
changed. He became indifferent to her.
In the past, if she asked Brian to pick her up, Brian would drop everything to pick her up, but now he
did not have that passion.
“Will there be objection to our being together, Brian?”
Wendy was not worried, but tried to confirm.
"No. Grandfather has accepted you, and no one will object."
Now no one objected, but Brian's heart was drifting.
Was it right that he asked Wendy to come back? Was Wendy his favorite woman?
"Well, then, we'll have wedding when I go back."
Wendy was anxious now. She was worried that Brian had another woman.
"......"
Brian was silent with a cold frown.
Although he had proposed marriage first, he had been evading the issue since he knew he loved
Winnie.
But now Wendy put it forward, how could he avoid it or refuse it? Wasn’t what he has been waiting for
for so many years this?
"Ok, we’ll get married when you come back."
Brian agreed, but he was not happy.
Brian stood in front of the French window for a while. Finally, he made up his mind to eliminate the only
connection between him and Winnie as quickly as possible, and then forget Winnie completely.
However, only Rufus could help him.
Brian resisted to Rufus, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only put his hope on Rufus.
Before getting off work, Winnie received a call from a real estate salesman.
"Miss Chambers, I just received a notice that the decoration materials of this house are not so good,
and some do not match the quotation, so we could not sell it at 20 million yuan. Our company has
decided to reduce the price to 10 million yuan. And because of our negligence, we decide to give you a
free space in the underground parking lot for five years."
After the salesman hanging up the phone for quite a long time, Winnie had not recovered. The words
kept spinning back and forth in her mind.
She did not know well about house. But why the cost of decoration could be reduced this much? And a
car parking space cost hundreds of thousands. What was going on?
Winnie could not figure it out and after work, she came to Daenerys.
Daenerys worked overtime today. When Winnie came to her office, she was still busy.
"Busy, eh? Help me analyze it even if you are busy."
Winnie said to her, because she was really confused.
It was not trivial, and she did not have so much money. If she got cheated, she had no time to defend
her rights. She had to be cautious before she bought the house.
"I won’t ignore you. What is it?"
Daenerys put down the paper and got up to Winnie.
"About the house, today I..."
Winnie explained the matter in detail.
"I'm afraid this is a scam. Help me analyze if I can buy this house."
"Yes, why not? As long as you follow the normal procedures and the bank gives you a loan, we'll have
a right if anything goes wrong."
Daenerys gave her opinion decisively.
"But I don't feel right to receive that call," she said. "If it's not a scam, it's weird."
Winnie knew that the possibility of scam was not big, but she had doubts, so she could only say that it
was a scam.
"Buy it, go to the formalities tomorrow. They offered to reduce the price, it must be their problem,
maybe the price is wrong, maybe there is a loophole and now it gets timely remedy. It's not a big deal
that they give you a parking spot and reduce your fees for a few years. They'll pay more if we find it out
in the future."
Daenerys did not think it was a scam. It was a large community and most of the houses had been sold.
The construction would not be approved if there were no formal procedures.
There must have been a mistake in their internal pricing, and now they were just correcting it.
But that call was sudden, she would overthink too.
"Are you sure?"
Winnie was still thinking about what was going on, but she could not think of a reason to explain her
doubts.
"Yes, I'll go with you tomorrow. I don't believe he will cheat us."
Daenerys was firm. It was 10 million cheaper and there was a parking space, sure she should buy it.
Hearing Daenerys’ opinion, Winnie was relieved, but she still had doubts.
She felt that Daenerys was right. As long as she went through the proper procedures, she could win
even if she got cheated.
Then came a knock on the door and the door was pushed open before Daenerys answered. Kevin
walked in.
"Winwin, you are here."
"Didn’t you get off work, Doctor Burns?"
Winnie said with a smile.
"I left work early. Daenerys works late today and I have been waiting for her."
Kevin said naturally, as if they were new couple.
"Oh, you're supposed to get off work together, are you? Then I'll leave you alone."
Winnie showed a bright smile. She was to leave after teasing them, but was stopped by Daenerys.
"Wait, I didn't make an appointment with him. I'll go with you."
Daenerys was anxious, flustered, trying to hide her shyness. Daenerys took the bag and walked to
Winnie, leaving the unfinished work on the desk.
"Yes, we didn't make an appointment. I want to have a date with Daenerys, but she hasn't said yes."
Kevin explained, but he was not worried that Daenerys would refuse him because Winnie was there.
"How can’s she disagree? I agree, take her away now."
Winnie said with joy in the face.
She supported Daenerys to be with Kevin, because Kevin was a good man. He was considerate and
would make Daenerys feel at ease.
Besides, they had slept together. Why should she say no?
"Winwin."
Daenerys looked at Winnie angrily. Although she was not satisfied with being betrayed by friends, she
felt sweet in heart.
"I'm leaving. Have a nice date!"
Winnie disregarded Daenerys’ warning, still supported them to have a date. Then she walked away.
Daenerys followed Winnie and wanted to leave with her, but her hand was taken by Kevin and she was
forced to stay in her office.
