The next morning, Winnie came to the Bennet Group. The colleagues held the same attitude to her, but her heart was cool.
It was a place where she wanted to work hard, but in less than a year, she had to leave. Maybe she didn't belong here and it was just a twist of fate.
Now everything came to reality. She would leave the Bennet Group and Brian, and then it would start all over.
She then came to her office. To tell the truth, she had not too much feeling for it, because since she came to this office, nothing happy had ever happened. The memories in this office were heartbreaking and bitter.
Her replacement hadn't arrived yet, and she wanted to be ready. As she turned on the computer and was about to work, Klara pushed the door open and came in.
"It's been a long time, Klara."
Winnie said.
"The president wants you to go to his office."
Klara said in disdain.
Winnie said nothing but give a self-deprecating smile looking at Klara who ignored her words.
"I'll be right there."
Winnie was about to get up, but Klara walked in and closed the door.
"Winnie, please do not come back, and do not appear to Mr. Bennet again. You had not brought him any interest but trouble."
Klara said in a contemptuous manner. From beginning to end, she did not like Winnie and had been enduring. Now she had to leave.
"Did Mr. Bennet mean that, or you?"
Winnie asked in reply.
Winnie knew from the moment Klara broke in without knocking on the door that she was smug again. She thought she would leave and did not care about her, but Klara shut the door to scold her.
Winnie could not take it.
"It doesn't matter who means it. It will be all right when you leave."
Klara said arrogantly. In her view, Winnie was to leave, if she did not say a few words, her heart had been accumulating resentment.
"It is not up to you if I leave or not. What you said is the private affairs between Brian and I, as a secretary, you should not say that."
"You said that I did not bring interest to the company, may I ask who solved all the problems? Am I not responsible for the steady rise in mobile phone sales? Are you responsible for the development of new software?"
Winnie asked coldly.
It would be ok to say other things, but her dedication to the company could not be simply erased.
"You..."
Klara couldn't say a word.
"Klara, you're a good secretary. You're competent. But you need to learn to separate the business from the private affairs. If I leave, there will be other women around him. Are you going to keep treating the women like this?"
"If I leave, Wendy will be back. Do you dare to do the same to Wendy? If you like Brian, you can fight for him. Don't always be hostile to the women around him, it is useless and will reduce your quality."
"Mind your own business."
Winnie lost to Brian. She could do anything for the children, but she could not be discriminated by anyone.
Klara hated her all the time, but this hatred was the most ignorant, because it was impossible for Brian to have only one woman.
Winnie was to leave after that, regardless of Klara who had a pale face.
Winnie knocked at the door and walked in after she got the consent.
"You want to see me, Mr. Bennet?"
Winnie said formally. At the moment they were only superior and subordinate.
"I would like to say that if you have any new software, you can sell to the Bennet Group, I will give you the best price."
Brian looked up at Winnie from a pile of documents.
"Ok, if your offer is high, you will be my first consideration."
Winnie answered bitterly. Since he wanted to break off all contacts, why did he want to buy her software? She wouldn't sell it to him if she had one.
Winnie took out the bank card she had been holding and put it on Brian’s desk.
"Mr. Bennet, here's the money you gave me. No I give it back."
"I took the money to reassure you, but now that we have nothing to do with each other and you don't have to think too much about it, so this money is useless."
Winnie had long wanted to return the money to Brian, but there had been no suitable opportunity. Now they had nothing to do with each other, she should give it back.
Brian looked coldly at the bank card. This bank card came and went for several times, and in the end Winnie refused it.
Maybe, like she said, she didn't intend to take the money in the first place. It was all about the children.
This woman was silly. With this money, she did not need to work hard. Why did she return it to him?
"Is there anything else? If not, I have to go back to handover work."
Winnie asked. She did not get used to this unfamiliar mode of getting along, but she had to accept it.
Before Brian said anything, she turned to leave.
“Winwin...”
Brian called Winnie in a low voice.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Brian did not know why he called Winnie. He felt that when he looked at her back, he had a feeling that he would lose her forever.
"No."
Asked Brian, who had no clue as to why he asked that question.
Now he didn't know what to do and seemed more and more confused. He could not imagine that Winnie would be with Leo. Would he lose the yearning for love?
"I do not care whether my family members can accept it. I can give up everything including my present position for Winwin."
"I think I can make Winwin live a happy life with my strength."
Leo said confidently.
Now for Leo everything was not a problem and but the problem was Brian.
As long as Brian did not let go of Winnie, as long as he asked her to stay, Winnie would never leave, because she loved him, because they had two children.
"You really love Winwin and can give up all for her?"
Brian was speechless. Why couldn’t he give up everything and be with Winnie? Why did he want to be with Penny which was not love anymore? Why couldn’t he give up the power and position?
"Mr. Bennet, so you allow me to be with Winwin?"
Leo said that and turned to leave directly.
He wanted to start afresh, start his love, start approaching the woman he had lost.
Winnie had a lot of work to do and she did not finish it until the afternoon.
With a deep sigh, she grabbed her bag and left the office full of bad memories.
When she walked to the elevator, the elevator door opened and she walked in in a low mood. At this time, Brian walked out of the office.
They stood staring at each other.
"Goodbye, Brian, from now on we are completely over. Be happy in the future."
Goodbye, Brian, goodbye, the man she loved.
Winnie was in a bad mood, but she met Leo in the parking lot downstairs.
"Why are you here? You are here for cooperation?"
Winnie asked in surprise, thinking that Leo had just come over.
"Yes, but it was finished and I am ready to leave. And you? Come to hand over?"
Leo asked gently with a smile on his face.
"How do you know about my handover?"
"Daenerys told me. Okay, talk later. I'm hungry and haven't had lunch yet, so accompany me to have dinner."
