The conversation of the two people and the picture were seen by Wendy. Wendy saw the necklace in the first glance.
She saw it in the office of Brian. Although there were many necklace of the same style, but her felt it was given to Winnie by Brian.
Klara and Laura kept chatting. Wendy was to see Laura’s answer.
Klara: Whose necklace is it?
Laura: It's Winnie's.
Laura: I said her boyfriend bought it, and she said no, but she couldn't tell me how much it cost and didn't know where she bought it. Hey, guys. isn’t that strange?
Klara sent a surprised emoji.
Klara: It must have been a gift. She never wears jewelry.
Laura: Guess who sent it?
Klara: You know?
Klara asked in reply, but she had already suspected or even confirmed that it was sent by Brian.
Laura: I asked you because I didn't know.
...
Two people were still discussing, while Wendy was angry.
It turned out that the owner of the necklace was Winnie. The "W" on the necklace was the capital letter of "Winnie". She did not know it and had thought it was of “Wendy”.
Brian seemed to love Winnie so much that he was not going to keep a distance with her. And he even secretly gave Winnie a gift.
And Winnie received a gift but she was not low-key. She even took it out to show off.
Wendy threw things resentfully. At the moment she did not know what to do, just felt unsteadfast in heart.
In the group, Laura and Klara had been chatting, but Wendy had never spoken.
She could not tell them that the necklace had been given to Winnie by Brian and was worth millions. She would be the butt of their jokes.
Winnie liked that necklace. She always held it in her hand, but she did not know how much it cost.
After work, Winnie went to the parking lot outside the company to get her car. Just as she was about to get in the car, the window of the car next to her suddenly dropped down.
"Winnie, have you got a minute?"
Winnie looked down at the sound and saw that Felix was calling her.
So she walked around her car to Felix.
"You want to see me, Chairman?”
Winnie bent down and said softly.
"Yes, get in the car and we'll go to the cafe."
Felix's tone was moderate, not dignified or cold as usual.
Winnie thought for a moment and then sat on the copilot's position.
In the private room of the cafe.
"Chairman, may I ask a glass of water for you? Coffee is bad for your health."
Winnie asked Felix in a gentle voice.
She knew Felix didn't like coffee because she met him so many times in the tea room.
"No need, it is just once."
Winnie’s words touched Felix, and unconsciously he compared her with Wendy.
What Wendy did was superficial and he could not see her heart. Although Winnie said irrelevant words, she made him warm.
Alas......When could Wendy be sincere? When she could make people like her from heart?
"Winnie, I have something to tell you. It's about Luke."
Felix continued to speak.
"A few days ago we went out to play, Luke and I talked alone for a while. He still can't accept Wendy and insisted to find his Mommy."
"No matter who Luke's Mommy is, we won’t accept her, but seeing Luke is sad, I feel uncomfortable."
Felix made his point, but he paused.
Winnie's face changed, because Felix could not accept her.
Although Felix did not deliberately say that to her, she knew that the not only Brian could only accept her. From now on, she could not even have a crush on Brian.
"Chairman, just say what you want. If I can help you, I won't turn you down."
Winnie's voice became deep, because her heart was very sour.
"I want you to continue to be together with Brian like before, to take Luke with you. He likes you so much. As long as you are there for him, he will give up looking for his Mommy. I wonder if you can accept this offer."
After listening to Felix's words, Winnie laughed ironically in her heart.
She was Luke's Mommy, but ended up in such a position. No matter for Brian or Felix, she could only be remembered when she was needed.
"I am very embarrassed by your request..."
Winnie did not know how to refuse, but she knew that she could not accept it.
