"Is it Wendy?"
Winnie asked when Brian hung up the phone and put the headset down.
"Yes."
"I'm sorry I've taken up your time. I won't be back then. You'd better spend more time with Wendy."
Winnie said sorry and did not want to continue to occupy Wendy's time, did not want to occupy
Wendy's man.
"She's not ill and does not need company."
Brian replied in a quiet voice.
Now Winnie's illness worried him, he could not just let her out of his sight.
"I am fine, I don’t need company."
Winnie said simply. No matter Brian agreed or not, she would go back to her home after work instead
of getting along with Brian.
Brian insisted, but he did not continue.
When she reach the Johnson Group, Winnie went directly to work and forgot the time.
"Winwin, you look bad, are you feeling unwell?"
Leo sat beside Winnie and saw that she looked wrong.
Winnie looked pale and listless. She looked as though she had just recovered from a great illness, as
though she had suffered a setback.
"I don’t feel well, can we put off work?"
Winnie answered as she worked.
Previously, she had not told Leo she was ill, only that she was busy with work. But now she could not
hide it and could only tell him the truth.
"Then don't work, do it tomorrow when you are better."
Leo stopped the work. If he had known that Winnie did not feel well, he would not call her over in any
case.
"It doesn’t matter, I am not so delicate. I just don’t feel well, it won't affect work."
Winnie refused and continued to work.
She didn't want everyone to see her as a weak, she could it. Everything was not a problem, all
difficulties could be overcome.
"Are you really all right?”
Leo asked, worrying Winnie.
"I am all right, I can work."
Winnie said with a smile. She must be optimistic, must be strong, because no one could bear it for her.
Winnie continued to devote her attention to her work, solving problems that others could not solve and
quickly removing obstacles.
After the work was settled, Winnie and Leo went to the president's office together.
"How was your blind date last time? Are you still unsatisfied?"
Winnie asked Leo with concern.
They were the only two people in Leo's office, so it didn't matter to talk about personal matters.
"You're wrong this time, and I'm satisfied. We decided to spend some time together and get to know
each other. I'll bring her to you the next time when I get a chance."
Leo's tone was very pleasing. From his happy expression, Winnie could see that he was very satisfied.
"You are very fast. She must be very nice."
Winnie felt that what Leo liked must be the kind of elegant and generous woman who was kind-
hearted.
"Yes, or I wouldn't have tried to get along with her. Winwin, I hope you can find someone to end your
single life. Everyone will rest assured if someone is there to take care of you and love you."
Leo began to persuade Winnie, only when Winnie was happy, his guilt would reduce.
He knew that it was impossible for him to be with Winnie. He found a girlfriend, so that Winnie could
feel at ease, so he learned to give up. Why didn’t Winnie try to push Brian away from her heart? Was
Brian so important to her?
"I don't need anyone to take care of me. I have so many families. Don't worry, I will consider ending my
single life if I meet someone right."
Winnie smiled gently and said quietly. Only she knew that it was impossible to meet the right man.
"That's good, I will help you. If there is a suitable one, meet him. You get married sooner, Daenerys and
I will be free."
The joke made himself heartache. He wanted to be the right man for her, want to protect her for a
lifetime, but she would not give himself a chance.
"If you say so, I have become a burden to you. Since I am a burden, I cannot let you free. I will annoy
you all my life and let you carry me on back all life."
Winnie burst into laughter.
Knowing Leo had a girlfriend, Winnie felt relieved. From now on, she could be best friend with Leo.
Winnie began to talk about work with Leo, which made her forgot the time. Leo didn't realize it was too
late until it was dark outside and the street lamps were quietly lit.
"I only worked and did not have dinner yet, and had a sick man work with me so long. Work is done for
the day, let’s go out to dinner."
With that, Leo tidied up the data, and then two people went downstairs together.
Outside the Johnson Group, Winnie stopped.
"Leo, I cannot have a meal with you. I am not feeling well and I want to go home to have a rest."
Winnie had a stomachache. She was afraid that Leo would make a fuss.
"You are not feeling well? Let me take you to the hospital."
Leo looked at Winnie in worry.
"Never mind. I'm just tired. I'll sleep when I get home."
"Leo......"
As Winnie was to ask Leo to send her home, a beam of high beam got straight into her eyes, instantly
making her unable to open her eyes.
High beam got closer, and the high beam switched to a near light. Winnie saw Brian's car, and it was
Brian driving.
Had he been waiting here all the time? Didn’t she tell him to find Wendy?
Winnie felt confused. The car had stopped beside Winnie, and Brian got off calmly.
“What are you doing here, Mr. Bennet?”
Leo asked.
"I am here to pick up Winwin."
Brian's indifferent reply was a greeting.
Then he looked at Winnie and said in a low voice.
"Get in the car."
There was anger in his voice and his eyes.
"Leo, I gotta go. If there is a need on the work, contact me."
Winnie did not refuse Brian in front of Leo.
"Okay, go home and have a good rest."
Leo was helpless. For the sudden appearance of Brian, he was upset.
It seemed that there was no possibility of their separation and Winnie could not get over Brian.
Even though she knew that the road to follow Brian was full of thorns, she still loved him as before, just
like he could not get over Winnie until now.
The car was still heading to the hilltop villa. Winnie did not want to be there.
"Take me home, I am fine now."
"......"
Hearing that, Brian gave a cold face and kept silent.
"I can't waste any more your time. The fact that I haven't had any pain all afternoon proves that I'm
really well. Take me home."
Winnie insisted
"When you worked with Leo, you had a good mood and naturally felt no pain."
Brian spoke in a cold voice.
"That's none of your business. I thank you for waiting for me and for taking care of me these last two
days. You've done what friends are supposed to do, and if you do more, I'll feel indebted to you. And I
hate the feeling of paying back."
The last thing Winnie wanted to see was Brian's callous face.
The face chilled her heart, and the cold words hurt her heart.
This man never saw her as a friend, never respected her as a woman, never got along with her as a
mother to her children. Otherwise, why did he always give her a cold face, or why did he always lose
his temper to her for no reason?
"It is my business. I've been waiting for you downstairs for hours. And You've been talking and laughing
with other men, have you forgotten me?"
Brian suddenly raised his voice in rage.
"Winnie, do you know what kind of person I am? Other women dare not think that I wait for hours. You
did not cherish and asked me to send you home. With Leo’s concern, so you don’t need me?"
Brian was angry. He knew that he shouldn't have said such things that he shouldn't have been angry to
Winnie.
But thinking of Winnie and Leo to be together, his heart was in pain like being broken, naturally he
could not control his emotions.
"You mean I should be flattered? I'm sorry I can't afford such an honor. You'd better give it to another
woman."
Winnie did not understand Brian's anger. She did not know what she did wrong and Brian vent his
anger on her.
She paused and went on.
"Stop the car. I'll never bother you again. I can go home myself."
"Are you kidding? This is the way up the hill. How are you going home?"
Brian still said angrily, he did not plan to let Winnie go home.
"That's none of your business. I can find my way home. It is better to be eaten by a wild animal than to
be scolded without any reason."
"Stop the car. It's been too much trouble for you."
Winnie unfastened the seat belt, but Brian did not mean to stop the car.
"Stop the car, or I'll jump."
Winnie opened the door as she spoke, which scared Brian to death. Unable to speak, he slowed down
and pulled over to the side of the road.
"Don't you know it's dangerous? How do you..."
Brian was angry and wanted to blame, but Winnie got off the car and walked quickly in the opposite
direction.
Brian then realized that he had said something wrong and got off the car to chase after her.
"Winwin..."
Hearing Brian's voice closer and closer to her, Winnie involuntarily accelerated her pace.
The mountain road was very quiet and scary, but for Winnie, it was better to be afraid than being
scolded.
