Hearing the question of Brian, Gloria gave a coy smile.
"How can I represent WY with my limited abilities? I am currently an intern at WY, at best an assistant
to our director."
"Mr. Bennet, you are the best of the best in business, and I think I can learn a lot from you, so I
followed him to be here."
Gloria was modest, so that Brian would not have other ideas about her.
Brian did not respond to Gloria but went straight to the seat and sat down.
"Albert, tell the secretary to bring Jack here."
Brian gave the order without hesitation, and Albert hurried to do it.
Brian didn't say a word until Jack came. It wasn't until Brian showed up that he gave the order again.
"Take meeting minutes, cooperate with me on this case."
"Me?"
Jack was unexpected. Brian told him to sort out the document well, but now he wanted him to be in a
new case.
And what he was not satisfied was that he had to do take minutes of meetings as a secretary.
He was a branch manager even without his big brother's achievements. How could he be reduced to a
secretary?
He would protest.
Jack was dissatisfied and even had an impulse to rebel. But he could control his emotions very well
when he saw that Brian was serious.
So he gave up and obediently began to prepare for the minutes of the meeting.
"Brian..."
Gloria suddenly changed the address to Brian.
She wanted to ease the atmosphere, but it upset Brian. He looked at Gloria coldly and Gloria suddenly
stopped speaking.
"Miss Lee, this is the conference room. Please be careful with your address."
"The meeting will begin immediately. Please do not talk about anything unrelated to work here."
Albert understood the meaning of Brian, so he immediately reminded Gloria.
This reminds and Brian’s sharp eyes made Gloria embarrassed.
The meeting officially began. First, MY side explained the specific details of cooperation.
In this process, Brian saw out of the corner of his eye that Gloria was doing nothing, and her mind was
wandering.
She was not as conscientious as Jack, who was taking minutes of meetings. So Brian doubted why
Gloria came here.
WY's representatives were making detailed reports, and everyone in conference room was listening
carefully, but there was sudden phone ringing.
As the phone rang, all of a sudden everyone's eyes fell on the source of the sound - Gloria.
Gloria realized that she had affected everyone, so she hurried to press reject key.
"Sorry."
An apology would not save anyone valuable time, nor could it hide her disorganized attitude toward the
meeting.
"Miss Lee, the basic thing to do in a meeting is to turn off your phone. As a member of WY, you should
know that. This is the first time I'm warning you, if it happens again, please leave the conference room."
Albert’ merciless words embarrassed Gloria again, but what he said was true, which was written in in
the rules and regulations of cooperation.
"I'm sorry."
Gloria held resentment, but had to abide by.
Albert took a warning look at Gloria and then once again reminded everyone.
"Make sure your phones are off so that it won't interfere with the progress of the meeting. Everyone's
time is precious. Please treat others with respect."
"The meeting continues."
Without the command of Brian, Albert knew what to say.
As the meeting continued, everyone's attention returned to work, only Gloria glowered at Albert. He
embarrassed her in the face of so many people, especially Brian was watching.
Before she came, she did not expect Brian to be so serious and rigorous at work, and did not expect a
phone call would cause such a big trouble.
It was so awkward. When she got an opportunity, she certainly would teach him a lesson.
The meeting was in progress. Calvin knocked on the door and poked his head in after opening the
door.
"Mr. Bennet, Director Chambers’ call."
Brian got up from his chair.
"Albert, preside over the meeting."
Brian strode to the door of the conference room, and the door had been closed before everyone figured
about what happened.
"It's so not democratic. Mr. Bennet said we should focus at work. My phone can’t ring, but he is allowed
to leave."
Gloria whispered, expressing her dissatisfaction, but she dare not really argue about it.
She had been embarrassed enough, if her words provoked Albert again, it would be worse.
At the same time, she was wondering why Winnie called and Brian was so obedient. Could he answer
the phone after the meeting.
Judging from his appearance, she could know that Winnie was the woman Brian cared most.
So Thomas’s words were not always true. Winnie was the most difficult one to deal with.
Brian went out from the conference room, took the phone from Calvin, answered it while he strode to
his office.
"Winwin, you finally called me."
Brian was excited at this moment.
"I am... I'm gonna give you your car back. At noon I will give Morgan the car key, you tell him to take it."
Winnie made this call after thinking for a lone time. She thought a phone call would be better than a
meeting. And she wanted to know if Morgan had conveyed her words to Brian.
"No need to give it back to me, and Morgan will not accept the car key."
Brian did not expect Winnie to return his car, but at least he had heard her voice.
"Ok, I won't embarrass Morgan, but I won’t drive it."
Winnie had thought of this result. She could give Brian back the key when she came back.
"I'm all right."
Winnie did not know what to say, afraid of exposing some things, so she was to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute."
Brian stopped Winnie in time.
Since she called, he had to talk to her for a longer time.
"Winwin, did you meet with Morgan?"
This was a topic that Brian tried to stall the time.
"Yes, I wanted to give him the car key. But he won't take it without your orders. I don't want to
embarrass anyone about my business. Even if Morgan does not accept the car key, I will hand it to you
when I return. Or I'll leave it at our school and you can send someone to get it."
What she said was not important, what was important was that Morgan conveyed her words to Brian.
Since Brian knew it, he would be careful, and she had no need to worry.
"Winwin, don't worry about the car. You fill oil yourself and I'm just lending you a car."
Brian didn't think a car would affect their relationship. But Winnie has been tangled with the car.
“Winwin...”
Brian wanted to say more, but Winnie did not have the patience and directly interrupted him.
"I gotta go."
"Winwin."
Brian again stopped Winnie, and found another topic.
"I have another question for you. What do you mean by asking me to stay away from Penny?"
"It was nothing but a reminder that she knew she had cancer and everyone should be careful. And the
appointment that I go to see her with you will be cancelled. I can go by myself and I will be careful."
Winnie could not put things out in detail, but she felt practical that she had reminded him.
After that, Winnie directly hung up the phone.
She felt there was no problem, but Brian was more confused.
Mentioning Penny, in fact, was an abrupt thing. Winnie had not answered his phone, so it was strange
that she suddenly called.
Brian didn’t think it was simple. Penny must have done something, and Winnie was afraid that he was
involved, so she called to remind him.
Klara was still with Jonny and had been staying at the hotel for a long time.
After dinner, Klara asked Jonny to go for a walk with her. Jonny said yes, but reluctantly.
In the park.
"Honey, you have a branch and me here, so why don't we buy a house here? It's so wasteful for us to
stay in hotels all the time and it doesn't feel like home."
After enduring so long, Klara finally couldn't bear it and made a request.
"I have a branch here, but I'm still in the main office. I'm going back when this company is up and
running, and you're going with me. I don't think it's necessary to buy a house here."
Jonny replied curtly. His money could not be used for fixed assets. Once he had done what he wanted
to do, he would return home with the money and leave some for his child.
"You want to go back to your country? How can I go there with you? I have my kids and four old
people."
Klara was obviously disappointed. She did not expect that Jonny would return to his country. And if she
was alone, she could go abroad, but she had a family to take care of.
"Go back with me, kids go to school aboard, and old people can go with us too. Klara, I have a lot of
houses. If the old people want to live with us, we will live together. If not, we will live separately."
"I'll get them two nannies from your country, and they'll be well fed."
Jonny pretended to be nice, as if he was a big plutocrat with countless properties.
He knew he was bluffing, but the listener was delighted.
She did not know what Jonny had a lot of houses, so he was really rich.
