Alas...... Love was so humble, why could she let go? There were so many men in the world, why she
stubbornly hold on to him? For herself, she could give up to relax herself.
His pride, his insouciance, his hurt intentions, his distrust from beginning to end, were all driving her
away. She wonder why such a powerful force didn't push her away.
When Winnie was in a daze, a car passed in front of her, and then drove back.
"Why are you alone?"
The owner of the car went to Winnie pull back her wandering nerve.
"Director?"
Winnie did not expect to meet the director.
She always ran into people she knew at this bus station.
"I just came by from work. Are you waiting here for the bus?"
Director looked around and did not see Winnie's car.
"I..."
"Go home? Get in the car, I will send you back."
Director did not give Winnie the opportunity to explain, and thought Winnie was waiting for a bus.
“Well, all right. Thank you, Director.”
Winnie had no money with her and she could not go home now.
When she got into the car, she told the director the address of Penny.
She felt she could only go to her house because Oscar would keep her in the house.
She did not know since when she became like this.
“Did you drink?”
The director asked.
He did not smell wine at the bus station, but now he smelt it because the car window rolled down.
“Yes.”
Winnie told the truth.
The Director looked at Winnie, obviously she got something in her mind.
"It's better for women not to drink and to stay awake."
Personally, the director didn't like women drinking, but it was understandable that they turned to alcohol
when they were in a bad mood. In fact, he wanted to comfort Winnie, but he did not know what to say.
"I'm pretty sober, and I don't think women should drink."
Winnie did not want to drank and she had her reason to drink every time. But after drinking, not a single
problem had been solved.
"I will never drink again. I will listen to your and stay sober."
Winnie told herself that she could not drink anymore, not to keep awake, but to her nerves and body
not tortured by alcohol.
"Good, if you have time to drink, why don’t you go and study in Police University?
The Director reminded Winnie that she would not be addicted to alcohol.
"Director, you are right, I am thinking of studying in Police University."
Winnie's mood suddenly became better, she felt that the idea of the director was similar to hers.
"I'm arranging it for you now, and when it's done, you can go and study."
The director thought things through like an old friend. But it got Winnie confused.
"You are arranging it?"
"I forgot to tell you that the former director left it to me before he retired. I'm communicating to you right
now."
The director gave a brief explanation.
In fact, the former director told him a lot of things about Winnie, the important thing was that the former
director thought Winnie was a talent in many aspects of development, let him try to cultivate her.
"Thank you."
Winnie now knew why the director had the same thought as her.
"By the way, director, can I find a school somewhere else?"
Winnie took the opportunity to put forward the requirements.
"Somewhere else? Another province or another city?"
Director asked and did not understand why Winnie said so.
The Police University in B City was a good university, why Winnie wanted to go to other places? He
had doubts but he could not ask.
"As long as it's not in B City."
No matter where she wanted to leave here for a period of time, wanted to leave everything behind, to
escape Stefan and Brian.
As long as there was a place without the two, Winnie ccould go anywhere.
"I'll look for it for you, but you must be prepared. If you go to other city, it is not convenient to go home
and you won't be able to take care of things at home."
The Director had to remind her, if Winnie insisted on going to other city, he would rearrange it.
This reminder really let Winnie fall in dilemma.
She left. Nothing wrong would happen at work. She could work anywhere there was a computer. But
how should she take care of Vanessa? What about Penny? It would be a pity if Penny passed away
while she was gone. And the children were about to go to school, something that was inevitable in their
lives, and she couldn't be absent.
"Alas...... It's so hard to leave."
Winnie sighed again, in addition to Brian and Stefan, she had to consider so many people.
Winnie’s sigh let director more sure she had a worry. However, he was her leader and it was not good
for him to ask.
"First find me a short-term class, if I can do it, I will go back to B City."
Winnie finally decided to leave for a few days, regarding it as a holiday.
"Well, I'll arrange it for you."
Since Winnie requested, the director decided to respect the meaning of Winnie, according to her
requirement, arranged a school for her.
After dropping Winnie off at Penny’s home, the director left.
At this time Penny was go back to the bedroom to get some sleep. When she saw Winnie, she was not
sleepy anymore.
"What is your problem? Why do you come at this late hour? Did you get dumped?"
Penny said coldly, but Winnie did not mind it.
"I came here because I have no place to go. Like it or not, let me stay overnight."
Winnie threw herself on the sofa, now she did not want to quarrel, did not want to talk, even did not
want to breathe.
"What are you doing here so late, Winwin?"
Oscar came out from the bathroom, he was surprised to see Winnie.
"I accidentally locked my cell phone and car keys at home and came here because I had nowhere to
go. Please prepare a room for me, Oscar. I want to sleep."
Winnie was not going to go home to face Brian, it was better to be scolded by Penny.
"What's wrong with you? You can't get in your door without a key. Is that your excuse? Did you drink?
Do you come to be mad against me?"
Penny feel Winnie's words full of loopholes, she drunk and came here to cause troubles.
"Yes, but not too much. I am not here to be against you."
"On the contrary, don't always treat me like this, can't you sarcasm me once less? Or you can kill me. If
you hate me, kill me, and I don't blame you."
Winnie was now in a very bad state. When she saw Penny and Oscar, she felt relaxed so she became
presumptuous.
"I wish I could kill you, but I haven't lived enough yet. Winnie, don't worry, I will kill you some day.”
Penny really wanted to make Winnie disappear now, but Oscar was here, she would not succeed.
"Well, I'll be expecting you. Can I stay here tonight?"
"Oscar......"
Winnie called out Oscar, but found Oscar was on the phone. She stopped and lay on the couch.
It was Brian called him, according to the bodyguard’s clues, Brian knew Winnie was in Penny’s.
"She said she will stay here tonight."
Oscar whispered, he believed his voice could not be heard by Winnie and Penny who were quarreling.
"You can't let her stay there. She is in danger in Penny’s. If Penny did something to her in the middle of
the night, it would be too late to regret it.”
It was not that Brian thought too much, but that he did not trust Penny. She did everything she could to
get out of prison for revenge.
If Winnie lived there, Winnie would be in danger.
"I can't persuade her. You know she's stubborn."
Oscar did not want Winnie to stay here, if he fell asleep at night, he could not protect Winnie. He was
afraid of an accident.
"You get her to drink and I'll pick her up after she’s drunk enough. She won't see me unless she drinks
too much."
Brian had to think of such a way out.
"Ok, you wait for my call."
Oscar hung up and then came to Winnie.
"Is it too early to go to bed? I'll prepare some wine and we'll drink some."
"Penny, you go back to your room and sleep. I'll send her away in a minute. It won't bother you."
Oscar asked Penny to go back to her room, because she could not stay up late, and he did not want
Brian to see Penny.
"Let her go. I hate her so much."
Penny said with disgust and then returned to her room.
Oscar took the wine to the coffee table in the living room and prepared some snacks.
"Nothing else, a snack and a drink would go well."
Then the two men began to drink.
“Did you quarrel with Brian?”
Oscar effortlessly guessed why Winnie came here. He could not guess with whom she drunk with.
"No. I just got tired of him bothering me, so I got out."
Winnie was honest with Oscar. A little wine and a little talk might make her feel better.
Wait, she just promised the director she wouldn't drink, and she forgot it so quickly. Forget it. The
director was not here, so it would be the last time.
"Brian knew he was wrong, and wanted to apologize to you and ask you to forgive him."
Oscar knew Brian's heart, also knew Winnie was temporarily unable to accept his apology. But things
always had a process, if Brian had not been around to apologize, how could Winnie see his sincerity?
"He apologized to me, but I didn't forgive him. I can't forgive him and I don't want to do so. I won't
forgive him though he kept pushing me every day."
Winnie said absolutely, if not Brian forced her, she would not go to other places to study. She was really
tired, why did Brian think only of himself and not consider her feelings?
