Both of them were silent, but they had their own thoughts.
It was a while before Brian broke the silence.
"Grandpa, is it really so hard to accept Winwin?”
Brian still held a glimmer of hope, he told himself that it was for the sake of the kids.
Felix was silent, he asked himself that question too. However, they had persisted for so long, but they
was no way out.
"Brian, everything is for the greater good."
He then gave an answer, which made Brian disheartened. His grandpa denied Winnie.
Winnie was almost a perfect person, but grandpa still could not accept her.
After Brian left the old house, his mood was even worse. He knew that marrying Gloria was the best
chance for the Bennet Group to grow.
But what about Winnie? What about his heart? What about the two kids?
Did he really want to give it all up for the good of the company? Was it true that Winnie had predicted
that he would eventually marry another woman?
Brian was in a bad mood and did not want to go home to let the two kids see he was sad. He could not
go to Winnie’s now, so he could only go to the company.
It was after ten o'clock at night when he arrived at the company. This time, he took the public elevator
to the 30th floor instead of the president's elevator.
Stepping out of the elevator, he found the lights in the lobby were still on, but they were dim lights.
In front of his office, Brian stopped and looked back at Winnie's office.
He could not help but frown, wondering why the light was still on so late.
Brian walked to the door of Winnie's office and opened it without knocking at it.
"I told you to get off work. It's not safe for a girl to go home late."
Winnie buried in her work. She was not surprised to hear the sound.
She thought it was Alice came back, so she didn't even take a look.
But as the door was heard and footsteps came, Winnie did not hear the voice of Alice’s response.
Winnie looked up.
"Why are you here?”
Winnie asked unexpectedly. There was doubt in his eyes.
"Come and take care of business. Why don't you get off work?"
Brian was perfunctory. He did not want Winnie to know he had nowhere to go.
"I have to work overtime because I haven't finished an urgently needed document for tomorrow."
"If you have work, please go ahead. I must hurry."
Winnie said indifferently.
Now they were pure boss and subordinate. She did not want to have too much language
communication with him and did not want him to affect her work efficiency.
Brian frowned and stood still. He looked at Winnie silently, upset.
She was the first to say she loved him, and she was the first stop loving him now. Brian felt that he was
being manipulated.
“Why do you like Stefan? How can’t I satisfy you?"
When the question came out, Brian himself found it inconceivable. Why would he be so naive as to ask
such a question?
However, he wanted to have the answer from Winnie.
Winnie stopped typing, but she didn't look up.
Until now, Brian did not face up to this matter, and even did not seriously think about what happened
between them, nor did he think if he was the reason they had broken up.
But let him hate her, let him regret his love on her.
"There are so many women like you, and so are those you care about. I don't feel safe around you.
Unlike Stefan, there is no woman around him, and even if there is, he has a firm attitude.”
Winnie thought for a moment and gave such an answer. She felt that this answer can make Brian hate
her more, can let Brian forget their fragile love.
Brian frowned more tightly because of Winnie's answer, and he denied such accusations. Before the
hotel incident, he only loved and cared about Winnie.
Though he did not accept the accusations, he was unable to defend himself. Because he gave her the
biggest hurt, did not give her enough sense of security because he had affairs with another woman, so
he did not know how to explain his love. His love was insignificant in the face of these facts.
"Grandpa asked me to marry Gloria as soon as possible. If Gloria agrees, I will marry her in a short
time."
Brian was unable to refute Winnie's answer, but inexplicably mentioned the marriage.
It was true that grandpa had forced him to get married, but he just blurted out that he would get married
soon.
This time Winnie was completely frozen.
She felt it irony. Some time ago he said that he only had a partnership with Gloria, now they were to get
married.
Winnie adjusted her stiff body and then gave a smile.
"Well, that's a good thing. I congratulate you on any woman you marry, as long as it's not Wendy."
It was not important to Winnie who he married, but that the man was Brian. However, Brian was not
under her control, she could only say congratulations to him.
"I have not made a decision yet. I'm choosing between Wendy and Gloria."
Brian gave an answer of resentment. He was angry that Winnie didn't care about his marriage. Since
she hated Wendy, he provoked Winnie with her.
"Hum..."
Winnie grunted coldly.
"I didn't believe Wendy when she told me you were getting back together, but now I do."
"Can I understand that you've already been back together and that I got a room with a man is just an
excuse for you to leave me?"
Winnie did not want to ask this question, but she could not help it.
"Who said we were back together?”
Brian asked Winnie, puzzled.
"Wendy told me. She said you have been reconciled, but she could not make it public before Gloria has
been solved."
"Brian, I am stubborn. If you do choose Wendy, I will do whatever it takes to keep you apart."
Winnie was angry, staring at Brian.
Winnie meant it and would try to stop Brian and Wendy from being together.
Winnie took back her angry eyes, picks up one earphone and put it on, then turned on the music and
continued to tap the keyboard.
She blocked her hearing with music and did not want to hear any of Brian's voices. She hoped that
Brian married as soon as possible, hoped all this would end as soon as possible, hoped that she and
Brian had no any intersection in addition to work, hoped that he would not affect her mood, hoped that
she could be discouraged.
Brian did not speak, but angrily slammed the door and left.
He was angry about Wendy’s raving. They met, but he never wanted to be back to her, how could
Wendy say that?
Brian returned to his office and instantly made a call to Wendy.
Soon the phone was connected, and before Wendy could say a word, Brian's roar came like a storm.
"Wendy, why did you tell Winnie we are back together? Did I ever tell you that?"
Wendy was frightened by Brian's roar. Hearing Brian's query, she became nervous.
"Brain... What are you talking about? When did I say that to Winwin?"
In this case, Wendy could only play fool and did not admit that she said those words.
"You didn't stay that?"
Brian’s voice was still cold and angry.
"I really didn't say that. I met Winwin, but she warned me to stay away from you, or I would pay the
price. After warning me, she left without giving me a chance to speak."
Wendy sounded innocent and refused to admit it. Winnie could not prove it anyway.
"Wendy......"
The two women said different words, so Brian didn't know who to believe. But he was subconsciously
inclined to Winnie.
"Wendy, you know if you said it or not. There is another thing that I hope you should also be aware of. It
is impossible for me and you to be together. Even if Winnie and I are separated, the person I choose
cannot be you."
"Don't you do any more useless struggle, it's meaningless."
Brian said angrily and then directly hung up the phone, although Wendy looked innocent. And he
promised Winnie that he would not marry Wendy, so Brian had to warn her.
The next day after work, Winnie picked up her kids and Vanessa and drove directly to the airport.
Waiting for the plane to land, Winnie was surprised to meet Gloria who had just off the plane.
Gloria came to Winnie and said hello to her.
Then Gloria asked Winnie to talk in the airport cafe.
"Time is limited and I'm going to go straight to point. Do you have conflicts with Mr. Bennet recently?
Every time I called him, he was in a bad mood and had a bad attitude."
Gloria said softly, but her question surprised Winnie.
Winnie calmly smiled, since Gloria and Brian were to get married, she had nothing to hide.
"No, but we have broken up."
"Why?"
Gloria showed a look of surprise.
She thought it was a fight, but she never thought it was a breakup.
She could see that Brian loved Winnie, why did they break up?
"Yes, we did break up. Ask him why."
Winnie did not answer the reason because she did not know how to answer.
