Winnie thought that a man who did not care about her, no matter what happened to her, no matter how she was feeling, it did not seem to have anything to do with this man.
She had always taken care of herself, and no matter what happened, it was her own failure to do a good job, and it had nothing to do with Brian.
"After this happens, it is essential for the victim to receive counseling. Because you may not even be aware of the psychological damage yourself, that damage can only manifest itself at a later stage."
"Tell you what, I have a schoolmate who specializes in psychology and is now a policewoman. Tomorrow, I'll take you to meet her tomorrow."
Finn felt that Winnie needed a psychiatrist, the sooner the better. At the same time, he felt that Brian's love for Winnie had limitations; he loved her but often neglected her, and the things he neglected were important.
"I have class tomorrow."
Winnie refused, not just because she didn't have the time, but actually resisted.
She didn't want to say those things over and over again, nor did she want to heal the hurt in her heart. Only with a wound in her heart could she always remember not to go near Brian.
"She's also in C City right now for an academic forum. But if you don't want to see her, I won't ask her out."
Finn could see that Winnie had concerns, but he couldn't figure out the reasons.
"I'll ask her out later when I get a chance."
Winnie still refused. She didn't want to face it and she didn't want to think about it.
Just after Winnie rejected Finn's kind offer, a voice came from behind her.
"Ms. Winnie, is this really you?"
Winnie turned around and became nervous when she saw the man.
"Why are you here?"
Winnie asked cautiously, and a slight panic seeped into her eyes.
"I came over to visit my friends and I am here for dinner. I didn't expect to meet you. Ms. Winnie, it's nice to meet you."
Jonny greeted Winnie with a sincere attitude and an earnest smile, but Winnie was confused.
"I didn't expect to run into you here either."
There was no way for Winnie to put a smile on, but she wouldn't embarrass him.
She knew Jonny was a shameless man and would do anything if he was pissed off.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for us to have dinner together?"
Jonny offered to bring it up, with a look of earnestness.
"No, we're all going to finish eating, besides you have friends, I have friends. By the way, this is my friend, the Provincial Director of the Security Bureau."
Winnie refused, and then deliberately introduced Finn. She felt that people with bad intentions would be afraid of the police.
Sure enough, Jonny's face changed after hearing that.
"Oh, hello. Since it's not convenient, we'll have dinner together some other time."
"You eat first, my friend is waiting for me."
Jonny left after greeting Finn, he didn't even dare to meet Finn's eyes, afraid that his premeditation would be seen.
After Jonny left, Winnie's eyes kept following him to see if he had friends coming along.
Jonny did not lie, and did sit at a table with a foreign friend.
"Officer Chambers ......"
Finn called out to Winnie.
"Alas ......"
Winnie sighed.
"What's wrong? Does he like you?"
Finn was sensitive and alerted to what was going on, otherwise Winnie would not have given out his identity.
"Well, nothing can be hidden from you. I met Jonny when we were abroad, and he was entrusted by someone else to make things difficult for me."
Winnie spoke briefly. She found the specifics of the situation complicated, and talking about it would surely take a long time.
"You have to be careful with people like that."
Finn reminded, but things were definitely not as simple as Winnie's words. Otherwise, that foreigner would not even dare to look at him.
"Well, I will."
Winnie knew she should be careful, although Jonny did come with a friend, but she did not know what kind friend he was with.
Or maybe Jonny and Wendy still had a plot and this chance encounter could have been planned. It was just that she could not talk to Finn about it, for she did not want to bother Finn.
She felt she had nothing to be afraid, besides it was her own country, a foreigner wouldn't dare to make a scene even if he was powerful.
Winnie's encounter with Jonny was known by Brian.
The news was passed on by Morgan, the person responsible for protecting Winnie in C City was hired by Morgan, and he would report everything to Morgan.
So as for what happened today, including shopping and eating with Finn, Morgan reported to Brian as much as he could.
Brian did feel uncomfortable when he heard that, but he focused on Jonny.
"Morgan, put extra men around Director Chambers, don't let the slightest accident happen to her."
Brian was excited to have an affirmative answer. He was really afraid that Winnie wouldn't return and that Finn would accompany her for the holidays in C City.
Winnie: It's too late, I'm going to bed.
This message from Winnie kind of ended the message, at this moment, she surprisingly did not know how to communicate with Brian, and could only end the conversation.
While family reunited for the Thanksgiving Day, she and her family went their separate ways.
Although there were various reasons why they couldn't be together, Winnie still felt bleak when she thought about it.
Jonny returned to B City from C City the next day. If he had known that Winnie's friend was a policeman, he would not have rushed to meet Winnie.
Now that he had exposed himself, Winnie would definitely be careful, and this would make it tough for his idea to succeed.
Back at the rented house, Jonny was lying on the bed, tired. Klara came back from shopping and felt quite surprised to see Jonny.
"Why didn't you tell me when you got here?"
"I just got back. I was too tired to go to the office, so I came straight back."
Jonny replied breathlessly.
"Why are you tired? How is the work going?"
Klara came to the bedside and asked Jonny.
"It's very, very tiring, and the work is not too ideal, or it wouldn't be so tiring."
Jonny wasn't tired in person but in his heart. He didn’t know how to get close to Winnie. After all this, he would return to his country and reunite with his child.
"It's really hard work, take your time, don't rush it, that's how the job is."
Klara comforted Jonny, knowing that Jonny was having trouble at work.
But so far she hadn't met anyone from their company except Jonny, and she hadn't been to Jonny's company once.
"Jonny, I used to be Brian's secretary. I have a wide range of jobs and my working ability is obvious. If you trust me, let me help you, some of my connections might help you."
Klara took the opportunity to offer to help, or to have a chance to go to Jonny's company.
Jonny first embraced Klara into his arms and then gave his answer.
"How can I let you help me? I can do such a tiring task alone. You'll just wait for me at home, and I'll feel happy to have a delicious meal every day when I come back."
Jonny coaxed Klara. Everything was a scam and he did not have a company.
"But you won't be so tired if I help you, two people sharing the work of one will be easier. Jonny ......"
"Klara, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten well for the past two days, can you cook for me first?"
