Brian walked away with his secretary, and Albert stood beside Winnie without moving.
"Albert, I still have thing to deal with and I won’t go to the president's office. Please explain to Mr. Bennet."
Winnie wanted to get away. No matter what Brian was to tell her, she did not want to be with him alone, so as not to affect his mood.
"Winnie, I dare not go against Mr. Bennet’s order, please don't make it hard for me."
Albert said pitifully, as if Brian was severe to him.
"......"
Winnie felt embarrassed, a moment later.
"Come on, I'll go."
She would rather bear the embarrassment herself than making it hard for others and she had been adhering to this principle.
"Albert, talk to Mr. Bennet about getting Winnie back."
One engineer took the lead in mentioning the matter, and several others followed suit.
"Yes, we can't do without Winnie."
"Albert, ask Winnie to stay."
Winnie was moved by the recognition, and it seemed that her time at the Bennet Group was not a nuisance to everyone.
"Thank you, but I have my own job and I can't come back."
With that, Winnie left with Albert, but Klara was angry.
From the moment Brian got on the elevator, his eyes never left Winnie. When he was in the conference room, he still put all his attention on Winnie.
What was good about Winnie? These engineers even wanted their opponent to please come back. Brian could not look away from her, and was more and more apathy to her.
Klara knew that she had children and elderly people, and her status was not worthy of Brian. However, she did not have too high requirements. As long as she stayed with Brian, she could be a woman who did not seek fame or gain.
However, since Winnie appeared, her humble aspirations had been shattered.
Winnie had just asked her a question, but Brian appeared before she could answer. She would tell Winnie if she got a chance.
Why didn’t she aimed at her and ignore Penny and Wendy, because Winnie was the woman Brian cared and loved most, because Wendy and Penny were not a threat to her emotionally.
Winnie followed Albert to the president's office. On the way.
"Winnie, if Mr. Bennet asks you to come back, would you come back?"
Albert asked tentatively.
He and the engineer had the same attitude. Winnie felt in embarrassment and he did not know if she was willing to come back. If she did not want to come back, Albert would not mention it to Mr. Bennet.
"No, I have a good and stable job and have no plans to change my job."
Winnie said with certainty.
"Albert, you know that I have been working in the Bennet Group for such a long time, and I have been afraid and nervous. I did not even have a work contract, do you think I may come back again?"
"I don't make as much money as I did at the Bennet Group, but I don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Ignore what those people said, and don't tell Mr. Bennet."
Winnie said her idea. In her opinion, even if she did not refuse, Brian might not agree. She was capable, but Brian was afraid that she would destroy his feelings with Wendy.
"I know, I won't tell him."
Albert sighed in his heart, at this time he suddenly felt that Winnie was a poor man, perhaps it was a good thing to leave the Bennet Group.
Albert sent Winnie to the door of the president's office and did not go in. After Winnie went in, the secretary called Albert over.
"The president tells you to go to the control room and find out what Klara and Winnie said in the elevator."
"All right, I'll go now."
Albert went to check, and the secretary went to other departments for something.
Winnie had mixed feelings when she walked into the president's office. Her steps stopped in the middle of the office, while Brian stood with his back to her by the French window.
Looking at that figure, Winnie knew that he was only a legend for her.
"What do you want, Mr. Bennet?"
Winnie could only ask Brian if he didn't speak. Otherwise, they might spend the whole afternoon like that.
When he heard Winnie's voice, Brian turned around, walked to his desk, opened the drawer and took out a file bag and a small envelope.
Then Brian walked slowly and calmly to Winnie.
"In this file bag are the assets I gave to my two children. All the formalities are over, take them back and help them put away."
Winnie hesitated for a moment and then took it over.
Brian then took out a bank card from his pants pocket and handed it to Winnie.
"This is child support, and the monthly support will be paid automatically at the beginning of the month."
"I can afford to support the two children, you don’t have to give it to me."
However, they were so close and he was holding her soft hand, he had uncontrollable palpitations.
She still had that faint fragrance. Although her body had seen countless times by him, holding her hand gave a strong current through his body.
Brian stared at Winnie with helplessness and pity in his eyes.
"Mr. Bennet, I have to go back now."
Winnie nervously said, moved her body back a bit. Her heart was touched again. Smelling his unique male breath, Winnie almost lost control.
She knew that she would have to walk once more the painful path of forgetfulness.
"Mr. Bennet, let go."
Winnie reminded him again seeing that he had no response. Then she wanted to pull back her hand forcefully, but was held more tightly by Brian.
“Take the money, you deserve it. Take it and I'll let you go."
Only Brian knew that he was using money as an excuse to stay Winnie for a longer time.
He could send Albert to give Winnie these documents, but he did not control himself to find a excuse to see her.
"I..."
Winnie wanted to refuse, but the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. When she heard a sound, Winnie pulled back her hand.
Wendy stood in the doorway with something in her hand.
The situation made her in a daze.
Brian faced her, and she clearly saw the facial expression of Brian.
Love, pity.
That woman turned sideways towards her, but the profile alone was enough to make her envious.
The most important thing was that the distance between the two people was very close. At the moment of opening the door, she clearly saw that the woman took her hand out of Brian's.
It made Wendy doubt and jealousy.
"I'm sorry, Brian, but I didn't know there is a visitor. The secretary was not outside, so I opened the door and came in."
Wendy said in soft voice, buried all the emotions in the bottom of her heart. She wanted to see who this woman was. She had never seen deep love in the eyes of Brian, why this woman had this honor.
"Wait a minute."
Love in Brian's eyes disappeared as he said to Wendy.
