Rufus felt it was pity that Winnie and Brian could not be together. But Winnie was not calm. Have really
let it go?
Then Winnie opened her mouth.
“Yes, we are just friends now and only parents of the kids.”
It was enough for Winnie. No matter Brian loved her a lot, as least they were together and she had
nothing to blame.
“Alas...”
Rufus could only sigh.
Seeing that, Winnie was sad, she had to comfort Rufus. She did not feel right to make him worried. But
she would not do it again.
“Rufus, though I can’t be with Brian. Vanessa and I are your family members. As long as you like it, we
will come and see you.”
“Ok, please come often.”
Since she had given up, there was nothing he could do. But what should they do n the future?
Winnie had to leave after a moment for work.
Rufus saw Winnie off and asked about Isobel.
“Winnie, when will you aunt come back?”
“I don’t know. She will not come back since the disease is controlled, but she can protect herself well.”
Winnie thanked for Rufus’ concern and did not think too much.
“Good.”
It had no problem not, but he was worried if Isobel could hold on.
On the way back, Winnie had been thinking Rufus’ word, “Brian has asked for many times....”
Did he really plead his grandfather? If he did , she was gratified, at least it made her less pity.
“Brian, thank you for that.”
Winnie said in heart, thought it was over.
When she got the company, she received a video from Office Lee. It was about the first time Penny and
Gloria met.
Looking at their indifferent faces, listening to them talking about her, Winnie felt ridiculous.
Neither of them were honest, they were just in confrontation.
Winnie gave a self-mockery look.
She and Brian were over. Were they doing that in vain?
Through this video, Winnie knew that Penny wanted to make her Gloria’s enemy, and that Penny still
wanted to be with Brian.
Besides, Winnie knew Penny had evidence of Gloria that she had abortion, dated with a few men.
She wondered what would Brian would react, but it did not matter to her. She just needed to protect
herself from these women about Brian.
As she was begin to work, the got a phone call, it was Stefan and she picked it up.
“Hello. It’s been a while.”
Winnie said to Stefan, actually she felt sorry for him for he was innocent.
Stefan knew nothing now, He did not know that his help caused her breakup and he had been blamed
by Brian.
Winnie did not want to talk about and Brian kept his promised that he would not disturb Stefan. She
would bury it in heart less Stefan got affected.
“I have been busy for I run shops aboard.”
“You must be busy not, it is good to be busy.”
Stefan said gently.
He was worried about Winnie, so he made this call, but he did not go to the straight.
“I am doing ok. I have been in holiday and it is my first day to work. But I agree with you that it is good
to be busy.”
Winnie would not have wild thought when she was busy and she would think of Brian.
“I don’t know you had holiday, or I would have asked you to be here to help, so that I can be less busy.”
Stefan felt it was late to call her.
“Yes, I had half a moth of holiday. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
As long as Stefan asked for her help, she would go and help, because she was guilty for him.
“I have been to busy and I have almost forgot you. I didn’t remember to call you. I will book your time
when you have holidays again.”
Stefan thought of Winnie everyday, but he was afraid that his call would make Winnie embarrassed.
“You have business aboard now, it is worth of being busy. Hire some employee, and don’t be too tired.”
Winnie envied that Stefan was busy, because he could leave many things behind.
“I have not chosen the right assistant yet. Money is not that important, but without money, there is
many things can’t be done.”
Stefan said with a smile. He was happy to heart Winnie’s voice.
“You do love money...”
The phone on her table rang. Stefan heard it and was to hang up.
“You got a call, right? Then that is it. I will invite you to hotpot when I am back. You can taste new
product and give me opinion.”
“Ok, I can do that.”
“Bye then, I will call you when I have time.”
The phone on the table kept ringing, Winnie had to hang up the phone.
She was guilty for Stefan and but she did not want to tell him what she had been through.
He would find Brian and explained to him if he knew the truth, if so, she had not need to suffer.
What should she do? Should she tell him and ask him to say nothing like Albert and Calvin？
Penny felt better when Jonny was not around. Since the misserable torture, she felt happy and at ease.
She went back home to play with her kid after work and figured out how to get back to Brian.
She was free at noon on Tuesday. Without appointment, she came to the Bennet Group. She came to
the reception desk and walked to the elevator after having the permission.
As she pressed the button, there was someone behind called her name.
“Wendy.”
Klara whispered and looked around, afraid that she was seen.
“Klara.”
Wendy was surprised. She did not want to see Klara because she had not figured out how to deal with
her. But now she could avoid it.
Klara said in a low voice, seeing that no one was around.
“Wendy, Brian and Winnie have been separated and she got fired. I has been half a month that she did
not come. I heard this morning that she went back to her company.”
“Have they?’
Wendy asked, for fear that it was Klara’s tricks.
“Yes, all people know it.”
Klara did not want Wendy to give up this chance if it was real.
“Klara, Brian is waiting for me upstairs. If I am late, he will be suspicious. We will talk when I am
downstairs.”
As her voice fell, the elevator’s door opened and she walked in.
In the elevator, she had been thinking about Klara’s words. If they really separated, she would have
less obstacles. If Gloria was solved, she would have the chance.
But she had a kid, which was the evidence of her past. Brian would not accept her.
Now she did not know what to do.
Wendy came to Brian’s office. Seeing that his face was less cold, she felt steadfast.
“Will I disturb you?”
Wendy asked gently and politely, different from before.
“No, I am having a break, have a seat.”
With that, Brian sat down in the sofa.
He did not want to see Wendy, because he would think of that he could not recall the past. And now his
life was in a mess, so he did not have much energy.
“I heard you have been working hard. You will become a talent.”
Brian said, he did not expect Wendy’s change. She never worked, but now she offer to have a job,
which would be hard for her.
“Don’t phrase me. It is hard for me.”
Wendy said modestly.
