Chapter 40 On a Business Trip Together
Chapter 40 On a Business Trip Together
Winnie came to the kindergarten after work to pick up the children. She wanted to let Luke go home
with her, but Penny unexpectedly came to pick up Luke.
"Mommy..."
Luke obviously feared. And then she looked back at Winnie with expectation.
"Luke, are you happy that I come to pick you up?"
Penny showed a hypocritical smile, but her smile made Luke felt more afraid.
"Mommy..."
Luke did not know what to say, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller, because only he saw
malice in Mommy's eyes.
"Penny, can you let the child come to my house to play? If you are worried, you can go with me."
Winnie tried to help Luke, so she could only speak gently. In fact, there was hatred in her heart.
"No, Miss Chambers. You've been working hard all day. I'd better take the child home."
Penny was insincere and then she bent down and looked at Megan.
"Oh, you are beautiful. What's you name?"
"Auntie, my name is Megan Chambers."
Megan said timidly. She didn't know why Luke and she were both afraid of her. She didn't like this
woman.
"Megan Chambers? You have the last name as your mother? Where's Daddy? Why don't you take his
last name?"
Asked Penny in puzzle.
"Children don't understand these things. Young Mistress Bennet, if it's not convenient for Luke to come
to my house, I'll go back first."
Winnie retreated, not because of the fear of Penny, but was afraid Penny will be angry with
Lukebecause she was too strong.
Luke said goodbye to Megan and Winnie reluctantly, and Winnie was worried because of Luke’s panic
look.
The next day, Winnie received notice to have a business trip with Brian.
Winnie thought it was ridiculous that an employee who had been fired should go on a business trip.
She went to Brian's office.
"Mr. Bennet, you'd better change someone else for the business trip. I have quit my job and cannot go
on a business trip with you."
Winnie, regardless that Brian was still reviewing the documents, came in and went to the point.
She didn’t want to go on a business trip with Brian and didn’t want to get along with him alone. Now
Winnie was waiting for the result and afraid of Luke being bullied. She had to refuse.
"No one can replace you, because you go on a business trip for work."
Brian did not raise his head, but said in a cold voice.
It was not a surprise Winnie came over, if she did not come, she was not Winnie.
"You'd better find someone else, or go on a business trip with you when someone from the company
gets here."
Winnie was still looking for a reason.
"MT will not send someone over and you will continue to work with me."
Brian said firmly. As of this morning, he had arranged for Winnie to return to work.
"I refuse."
Winnie said decisively.
Brian said nothing, but raised his eyes to look at Winnie coldly.
"Mr. Bennet, I'm a human being, not your pet. I have terminated my working relationship with MT and
no one can influence me."
Winnie finally was not bound by working contract, and she was determined not to fall to Brian’s trap
again.
It was her decision where to work and Brian could not control her.
"Winnie..."
When Brian was about to get angry, the internal phone rang.
He pressed the answer button hard.
"Mr. Bennet, it's time to go to the airport."
After listening to Klara's reminder, Brian hung up the phone.
"Take when we come back. You have to go on a business trip today. Now this job still belongs to you
and is your duty.
Brian could only temporarily suppress his anger, because work was the most important at the moment.
"Ok, but I have my conditions."
Winnie could not shirk and it was urgent, so she could only compromise.
"Say it."
"Send Luke to my house to play with Megan, or Megan will miss me. My best friend takes care of
them."
"Luke has his mommy."
Brian refused.
"Then I refuse to go to business trip."
Winnie said and turned to leave directly. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
The next moment, Brian blocked her way.
"I will ask Butler Lowe to send Luke to your house."
Brian was angry, but Winnie found Brian was helpless to her.
This business trip was urgent. Winnie followed Brian without bringing anything. Fortunately, there were
not only the two of them, but also Albert and Klara, which made her feel relieved.
They had booked first class seats. After getting aboard, they found their seats and sat down. The
position made Brian helpless but made Winnie happy.
Brian sat by the window, and Klara sat on his right. Albert sat on the right of Klara, and Winnie sat
opposite the aisle and by the window.
In other words, Winnie sat far away from Brian, and it was even hard to take a glance.
Brian showed a cold face, repressing his mood. But Winnie looked out of the window with a smile on
her face. Fortunately, she didn't sit beside Brian, otherwise she would be frozen into ice on the way.
When Winnie was feeling pleased, she heard someone calling her.
"Winwin..."
Leo only saw her side face, so he called her in an uncertain way.
Winnie turned around in surprise.
"Leo?"
No way, she was glad that she had eluded Brian, but now here came Leo. Winnie secretly chagrined.
What was going on? Why couldn’t she have a peaceful day?
"Winwin, it is really you."
Leo sat next to Winnie excitedly. It was really a coincidence today and he definitely did not track her.
“Is it for personal or business affair?”
Leo asked with concern.
"I'm on business. I'm with my colleagues."
Winnie pointed to the other side, and Leo saw Brian.
But at this time Brian’s face had been darkened, which made people scared. There was a fire burning
in his eyes that would engulf people at any moment.
Brian had a good impression of Leo before, but now the person he hated most was Leo, especially
when he called ‘Winwin’, which made him angry.
"Mr. Bennet, you are here too."
Leo greeted.
Brian said nothing. His cold eyes moved to Winnie. Unfortunately, Winnie did not look at Brian.
"Where is Megan? Who will take care of Megan if you go to business trip?"
Leo turned to continue to chat with Winnie, ignoreing the anger in Brian's eyes.
"Daenerys."
Winnie replied in a low voice, not looking at Leo or Brian.
"Winwin, I can take care of Megan if you are busy."
Leo said enthusiastically, no matter in which respect, as long as he could help, he would like to help.
"Thank you."
Winnie answered politely. Even if no one would take care of Megan, she would not bother Leo. Having
been treated like that, how dare she expect him to help?
Winnie had been confused aboutLeo's attitude. He changed too fast and he didn’t know why. She could
only be cautious lest again being fooled.
Leo's attitude not only confused Winnie, but also made Brian frown.
Leo hated Winnie because she was a cheater, but why did he get close to her? Did he want to get back
at Winnie or...
"Winwin..."
Leo continued to care about Winnie, and Winnie could only answer.
So they started to chat.
Leo was warm, gentle, sunny and elegant, which made Winnie had a feeling of the past.
She was very happy when they were in love. Leo was her first love, she tought everything was
beautiful. If that it held to now, she must be the happiest person.
But now she thought love was a lie.
Leo and Penny united to frame her, and she could not accept it. One was her bestie, the other was her
boyfriend who she was deeply in love with and wanted to spend the rest of life with him. But they hurt
her together, and she could not help feeling resentful.
But now she thought she was a heavy burden, and who was willing to carry it? It would have been wise
to abandon her.
It was good though, in that way, she didn't have to spend her whole life saddled with favors and feel
inferior to someone because of what she owed.
It was a four-hour flight, so they had to eat lunch on the plane.
The stewardess distributed the lunch and sent drinks. Before Winnie said a word, Leo had told the
stewardess.
"Give me a cup of hot water. This lady doesn't drink beverages."
Leo still remembered Winnie's habit, which made Winnie moved for a moment. She looked at the
stewardess in daze. When the stewardess left, she met Brian’s eyes.
At that moment her heartbeat was like missing half a beat. Winnie quickly withdrew her eyes. She did
not know why she was nervous, was it because Leo's thoughtfulness or Brian's cold eyes?
Leo continued to care about Winnie, pick up the vegetables Winnie did not like and put them to his
plate, and then picked up Winnie's favorite food from his plate to her.
"Leo, you eat. I've got enough."
Winnie was touched, but she was not used to being cared like this. Even if she wanted this kind of
care, it definitely would not be Leo.
Thinking of this, Winnie involuntarily looked up to Brian.
He did not eat but closed his eyes indifferently.
Winnie secretly laughed at herself. Even if she wanted to be cared, it would not be Leo, and it would
more be Brian. She could not feel warm from him and could only freeze to death.
After lunch, Winnie went to the bathroom.
At that moment, Brian opened his eyes and frowned coldly.
"Klara, change your seat with Miss Chambers."
Brian said mandatorily, and did not give Klara an opportunity to oppose.
Klara was stunned and then stood up and sat down in Winnie's seat.
Leo closed his eye for a snap and opened his eyes when he felt someone coming. But it was not
Winnie.
"Klara, you're in the wrong seat."
Leo told Klara.
"Mr. Bennet arranged it."
"Klara answered unwillingly, with envy in her eyes.
At this moment, Winnie came back from the bathroom and stood in the aisle looking at her seat.
"Miss Chambers, sit inside."
Albert said to Winnie, pointing at the seat by the window. At the moment, Brian was sitting in the seat of
Klara.
The seats had been changed completely.
