Worked for a while, Mr. Brown contacted her through inside line telephone,Cathy saw Mila sitting quietly on the sofa in the distance ,so she got up to walk to her, squatted down to see her, asked gently,"I want to go out, you want to stay here or go out with me together?"
She blinked, turned, climbed down from the sofa, and pulled at her dress.
Cathy smiled, touched her head, "OK,we will go out together."
Holding her little hand,she went to President Office, Mr. Brown saw them, he looked at her wonderingly , "The girl?"
"Sorry, Mr. Brown, she is my friend's child..."Cathy explained the situation in a light voice .
Mr. Brown nodded and beckoned her to sit down, saying, "the branch of LT Company here has been basically completed, and it will start to operate immediately. After a while, the representative of their company will come to visit us, so please help me to to entertain them."
She was numbed for a while, so fast?
There was a pause, and she asked, as if nothing had happened. "Do you know which representatives of them will come?"
Mr. Brown would not entertain representatives of a branch in person.
Mr. Brown smiled nonchalantly. "It should only be some department managers. That's why I sent you.It's not a big deal. You treat them to lunch."
Have a meal?
Wasn't that social engagement ?If there were too many people, they must drink, and she had child by her side.
"Mr. Brown...It's inconvenient if I take a child."She looked down at Mila with awkwardness, and then she said," or...Can I send other employees from the department go there with me?"
Mr. Brown looked at her, and then at the cute little girl, and nodded, "OK, you go to make arrangements, be sure to treat them well and none of them are neglected."
"All right."Cathy relieved a breath slightly, and then she smiled to ask again, "When will they come to our company?"
Mr. Brown turned his head to look out of the window ,lightly said, "Soon .The branch office is not far from us. It's opposite. It only takes a few minutes to arrive here."
"..."
Cathy was stiff and felt puzzled. She couldn't believed her ears, stared at Mr. Brown, "You, you say they...Where are they?The opposite?"
She slowly turned her eyes to look out of the window, the news made her heart sank.
Their branch office was in the opposite building?
Mr. Brown didn't notice anything wrong with her, but smiled and walked to the window, pointing to the opposite building, said, "it is very coincidence, LT company's branch is opposite to ours, and the same floor likes us, you should still be able to see them, but I am short-sighted so I can't see anything."
Her line of sight followed him, the smile was stiff very much, her eyes looked was complex and deep.
Did Tyrone do this intentionally or unintentionally?
Did the call he made last night have anything to do with it?
"Well, you can arrange this thing now."Mr. Brown waved to her.
"Well, good."Cathy said, holding Mila to leave President Office.
Back in her office, she stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the building opposite.
All of a sudden, the curtain of the room facing her office slowly moved upward. In the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a slender figure was completely exposed in her vision, liked an actor under the curtain in the center of the stage, which made her feel very unreal.
She returned, blinked her eyes fiercely, made sure he was not an illusion, and she bit her lip unconsciously.
Now it was clear that the man did it on purpose.
He stood motionless in the distance, one hand in the pocket of his suit. He was composed haughtily, far away from her, his expression was a little vague, but the only certainty was that he was watching her, and seemed to know where her office was.
She felt flustered,picked up the phone without hesitation to call him.
Bell rang for a few seconds, she separated the distance between the two buildings, clearly saw the man took out the phone from his pocket and put it on his ear.His handsome face was still facing her direction.
