Hearing what Stella said, Joshua must let her realize that she could not adhere to the wrong idea.
"If you and Brian continue to behave like this, it will be inevitable to regret."
Stella felt her breathing short and felt she could not go on.
“But what should Brian do?”
Stella felt her forgiveness would not work, the key relied on Brian.
"No one can change Brian's mind, but Winwin can. You don't have to worry about Brian, you'd better adjust your own mood. As for Brian, I'll talk to Winwin sometime."
Joshua volunteered. He didn't know if it would work, but he wanted to have a try.
"Winwin has not yet forgiven Brian. She is resistant to all our family members. I don't think it's any use talking to her. She won't help."
Stella concluded.
Winnie resisted because she got hurt. She didn't want to interfere in anything about Brian.
"We won’t interfere in their relationship, I only want her to help me with persuasion. I think there is hope."
Joshua was confident, because he trusted Winnie.
He knew that Winnie was kind and generous and that Winnie still loved Brian. If not for Brian, she would help for the sake for the kids and old people.
After Joshua got home, he called Winnie.
"Joshua? Is there something wrong?"
Winnie asked directly, because she did not want to be hypocritical.
"Yes, since you are straightforward, I won't beat around the bush."
Joshua was forthright, he liked to deal with Winnie who was straightforward. With such people to deal with, it was efficient.
"Joshua, if I can help, I will never refuse."
Winnie was frank. She thought Joshua got difficulties in her field, so he asked her for help.
"It is about dad. It may be long and I need some time."
Joshua was afraid that Winnie did not have a long time to communicate with him.
"What's wrong with Rufus?"
Winnie looked at her watch. Although she was now back to the bedroom, she did not have long time to on the phone.
"It is about the past..."
"Brother, I don't know if it is urgent. If not, can we meet when I go back this weekend?"
After hearing that it is about the past, Winnie knew that this topic would waste a lot of time, so she asked Joshua for his opinion.
"No problem, it is not urgent. Call me at the end of the week and we'll meet."
It would be great to meet and talk, he felt the effect would be better. And there were things she would be embarrassed to refuse face to face.
Two days later, Jack started work. But when he came to the company, he didn't see many people until he remembered that today was the weekend.
He did not understand why he had to work on weekends, so he went directly to Brian’s office.
"Mr. Bennet, you don't take your weekends off? You're here so early."
Jack had made his plan before he entered the office, if Brian was not in, he would leave.
He did not expect that Brian came earlier than him.
"I'll take off as soon as I finish giving my work to you."
"Take the files back and make a systematic report in two days. And if I ask you about any of them, you're going to give me your opinion."
Brian ordered severely, and this was the beginning of Jack's training.
Jack looked towards his desk, and at the sight, he immediately lost his nerve.
"Mr. Bennet, you've got to be kidding me to ask me to make a report in two days with all this data. How can I make a report if I can't finish it in two days?"
There were three piles of papers on his desk, and it would take him all day to move them back to his office. He didn't have time to read them.
"Three days then, or four days, if you want to spend the rest of your life reading these papers, I am ok with it."
"I have things to do, I gotta go."
Brian turned and walked outside.
"Mr. Bennet, where is my office?"
Jack had no choice but to ask, his former office had long been occupied by others, he could not do his work in the reception hall.
Brian went straight ahead and did not answer him. It was Albert who gave the answer.
"Take the papers and come with me. I'll show you your office."
When Albert had finished speaking, he stood in the same spot and did not intend to help.
"Won't you help me?”
Jack looked at Albert with expectation.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bennet said it's your job and you should do it yourself. I'll just take you to the office."
Albert said in all seriousness and did not want to help.
He suddenly got it. The important client was Winnie.
Wait a minute. Brian asked him to have a date.
"Mr. Bennet, how did you know I have a relationship?"
Albert was baffling, did Winnie tell him?
"I can see from your face, and if I can't see it, I get a problem in my mind. You smile all day long and are in a delightfully daze. It is a person like when he is in love."
Brian had found Albert in love, but did not know who the woman was.
"Am I that obvious?”
Albert thought he was concealing very well, but he was the same as all the people in love.
"Yes, you are. Is your girlfriend from our company?”
Brian was curious and wondered who Albert took fancy on.
"No, it's... Caro."
Now that his boss asked, Albert felt that it could not be concealed.
“Caro?”
Brian was surprised.
"You helped Winnie hide the truth, but you found a girlfriend. Well, it was worth it."
Brian recalled his biggest mistake he made speaking of Caro. However, it was gratifying that Albert and Caro were together.
"Sorry, Mr. Bennet, Director Chambers did not allow us to tell you and we promised her to keep our words."
Albert still felt sorry. But he had promised Winnie.
"Well, it's not your fault, it's my fault."
When Brian knew this, he was very angry indeed. But when he calmed down and thought about it, he could only blame himself.
He hurt Winnie, he made Winnie leave. So now he could not have any complaints, and could only try to get her back.
"Mr. Bennet, you must bring Director Chambers back. She's a good person. She loves you the most in the world. Whatever she does, her first consideration is your position and mood."
"She was called by Chairman a number of times. But whether she's leaving or staying, you're her first priority."
Albert saw that Brian was in a good mood, so he said those words. Winnie was a good man, once Brian missed her, he would regret it.
"Director Chambers did not allow us tell you. Although she said she was too tired to go on, so she asked us to conceal it, we know she was afraid of the inconvenience for you if she gets back to you."
