Winnie gave herself a good excuse, she did not want to be defeated by the power of the man.
"Well, you make it clear."
"Do I look that old?”
The director continued, but not so seriously this time.
"Not old, but mature."
Winnie was hypocritical again and flattered the director.
But the situation did not allow her to act at her will and she could fight for that she did not need to work
overtime.
"Well, it sounds nice to put it another way."
"But in the the first day I was mocked by subordinates, it is sad."
The new director seemed to be deliberately picking on Winnie, but he seemed to be joking. Winnie was
panic and did not know what to do.
"I was wrong, and I can make it up to you. How about I buy you dinner, as an apology for disrespecting
you. But Can you not punish me to work overtime?"
In addition to Winnie, no one dare to raise such a request. But to her surprise, the director readily
agreed.
"Done."
He gave simple and powerful words, which made Winnie at a loss.
Did he have a plan? How could he did that? Winnie did not know how he got his position.
After lunch, Winnie left the police station and went back to her company. It was just a joke to invite the
director to have dinner, after all, she did not want to be in trouble.
Wendy had not contacted Jonny for days and Jonny did not ask her for money, but what should she
do?
Should she be with Brian or should she give up?
She had been paying attention to Brian during this period of time. After he had broken up with Gloria,
he had not been back with Winnie, so he was single.
It meant that she got her chance, but should she give Jonny 30 million?
And would 30 million stop Jonny asking for more and showing up in front of her again?
For a few days, Wendy did not come up with a solution. At this time, she felt that she had no real
friends to help her out.
This was the consequence to focus on men only.
Wendy was sad, but she had no way out.
In the end, she decided to make decision after she got some details from Brian.
Wendy first asked Brian out, but Brian did not have time, Wendy could only go to the company to find
Brian.
At the moment Brian saw Wendy, he hated her, but he would give Wendy a chance to explain herself,
so he did not mention the fact that Winnie was wronged.
“Brian, I come to thank you. The school and the teachers are good. I have learned a lot. Don’t worry, I
will study hard to enrich myself.”
Wendy first said something unimportant, as an excuse to meet Brian.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Brian held back his anger, but he did not show it, but serious.
“It helps me a lot. With this, I will work hard.”
“Brian, let me know when you are available. I will treat you to dinner with my salary.”
Wendy said these to make Brian have a new understanding to her.
“When I have time then. I am busy during this period of time.”
Brian said seriously. He was not interested in Wendy’s thank and flattery. He only wanted to know when
Wendy would apologize.
“Brain, I heard that you and Gloria had broken up, I am surprised. I don’t know Gloria well, but I think
you match, in terms of family background and your appearance. Why did you break up?”
Wendy finally mentioned this topic, and then waited for Brian’s answer.
“We can’t get along, so we broke up.”
Brian held it back and still gave Wendy the chance to apologize.
“You are right, your feelings is important. Why don’t you get back to Winwin. You have kids and you
were happy when you were together.”
Seeing that Brian was silent, Wendy spoke of Winnie.
“Do you know how we broke up?”
This question stunned Wendy.
“You... I really don’t know.”
Wendy almost told what she knew, luckily, she stopped herself in time.
“Let me tell you. You told me that Winnie got a room with Stefan, so we broke up. Since you said so,
how could I still be with her?”
Brian asked, giving Wendy a chance to apologize.
“I am sorry, I don’t know that, or I would not have told you. You have kids, and the kids should not bear
it.”
“I am so sorry, Brian, I did not expect that.”
Wendy said sorry and showed guilty on her face, but she was glad in her heart.
Brian’s meaning was obvious that he would not want Winnie who was dirty now.
She now knew it was her chance, probably it was the got gave her the chance.
She must seize it.
“..””
As Brian was to remind Wendy, Albert called him. An important client had arrive and he had to see him.
So they stopped the conversation.
Brian hurried to the guest room and Wendy left.
As she walked out of the building, she saw Winnie coming from the parking lot. Seeing Winnie, at first
she was nervous.
She thought Winnie was here to test Brian, but thinking of what Brian said, she calmed down.
Brian would not want her anymore.
And Winnie knew everything about her and did not agree Brian to be with her, what should she do?
“Winwin.”
Wendy called out friendly.
“Wendy.”
Wendy did not notice Wendy till Wendy called out her name.
“Winwin, shall we have coffee together?”
With a nice smile on her face, Wendy invited Winnie to have coffee as seeing an old friend.
“I am not available, I am here for work.”
Winnie did not want to talk with Wendy. And she did not want to ask why Wendy was here, Alert and
Laura were waiting for her.
After that, she left. Wendy stopped smiling looking at her back.
She invited Winnie was because she wanted Winnie not to tell her things out, but Winnie did not give
her chance, so she could find another chance.
Winnie had been busying until it was afternoon. During this period of time, she had no time to think why
Wendy was there.
But she was free.
If Wendy were with Brian, she could say no and tell everything about Wendy bout, but if Brian still loved
Wendy, he would not care about her past.
If she drove away Wendy from Brian, who would be with Brian? Gloria or she?
She used to have firm attitude and to hated Wendy to cheat Brian, but not it seemed not important.
“Director Chambers, why are you here?”
Albert passed by the tea room and saw Winnie inside.
“I am thirsty, I come to get some water.”
“Albert, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner.”
Winnie thought of Caro, so she invited Albert.
“Me? Or Mr. Bennet?”
Albert asked with doubts.
“You, of course, don’t ask the reason. Do you have time?”
Winnie asked, for fear that Albert would refuse.
“I...”
Albert thought for a moment.
“All right, see you tonight. Name a place then.”
Albert was thinking why Winnie wanted to invite him, it might be related to Brian, so he agreed.
“Ok, I will send you the address later.”
“I gotta go, I still have work.”
After that, Winnie got up and left.
In the car, she called Caro, who was on shift at night, so Winnie asked her to change the shift with her
colleague. After that, she called Stefan before she booked the restaurant.
At night.
Winnie and Albert came to the restaurant early.
In the room.
“Albert, I will introduce a girl to you, it is a blind date.”
Winnie felt she should tell Albert in advance, to avoid the awkwardness.
“Blind date? Are you kidding? I am not ready for that. And I don’t know the girl.”
Albert asked with confusion, he did not expect that Winnie asked him to have a blind date.
“There is nothing should be ready. You are handsome and manly. You know the girl I will introduce to
you. If you are interested, you can get to know her more.”
