After realizing his reaction, Brian's handsome face became dark in an instant. There was an incomprehensible emotion in his deep eyes.
Winnie was still smiling with her eyes fixed on Brian's perfect picture. Therefore, she didn't find his change.
"Well, it seems that I really shouldn't pay you for this phone. I'll be scared by your picture every day, and I should ask you to compensate me for mental damage."
After finishing these words with her head down, her smile broadened. She unconsciously raised her head and looked at Brian. However, what she saw were malicious and insidious cold eyes.
Her smile nearly disappeared immediately.
"Why? I'm just joking. My smiling in your presence makes you sick?"
Winnie was somewhat puzzled and couldn't figure out how she had angered Brian.
The expression in Brian's eyes became colder and colder, but he couldn't tell her the reason. Therefore, he left after staring at Winnie, leaving her there with a puzzled expression.
"What happened? Why did you give me the cold shoulder again? Can't I smile in your presence?"
Winnie talked to herself and was no longer in a good mood.
She always couldn't understand why Brian was always changing his attitude towards her.
Winnie sighed helplessly and put down the mobile phone casually. Then, she began to work again.
Finally, it was noon. When she was just about to go to the staff canteen for lunch, there came a person she hated.
It was Penny who came in. Winnie sat in her office chair, looking at her with hatred. After Luke was abused, this was the first time that she saw Penny. If she hadn't promised Felix to conceal it for the time being, she would have publicized it and made her notorious.
"Why do you look at me in this way, Winnie? Did I do anything that annoys you?"
Penny said proudly.
When she came close to Winnie's desk and saw the brand new mobile phone, there was a triumphant expression in her eyes.
"Oh, you got a new mobile phone. Did you throw away the former one or..."
Penny stopped before she finished her words. That's because she saw Brian's photo after she accidentally pressed the power key.
Instantly, she put on a fierce expression and couldn't help questioning Winnie.
"Winnie, why're you so shameless? What's the relationship between you and Brian? How dare you use his photo as your background image? You're shameless! You're a bitch!"
Penny was no longer triumphant. She lifted the phone angrily and was about to smash it.
At this point...
"Wait."
Winnie stopped her in time and then continued to speak.
"Mr. Bennet just gave it to me. It was him that used his picture as the background image in this phone. If you smash it, how should I explain to him?"
Winnie said calmly and didn't care about the dirty words Penny said.
Winnie seldom said dirty words. In her opinion, compared with swearing someone, it'll better to slap that guy.
"You..."
In Penny's view, Winnie was threatening that she would tell Brian if she smashed her mobile phone.
Her hand was still raised in mid-air. She was very embarrassed because she was torn between smashing it and not smashing.
Finally, she put down her hand and threw the phone on the desk.
"Winnie, you shameless bastard. You deserve to lose your mobile phone."
When Penny was angry but couldn't do anything with the other party, she would always try to get the better of an argument. Only in this way could she feel that she had turned it around. Usually, she would leak some information inadvertently at such moments.
"How did you know that I had lost my phone?"
Winnie asked coldly.
Possibly having known how to communicate with Penny, Winnie had been very vigilant since the moment she entered her office and finally found something strange.
"I... I'm just cursing you. I hope that you'll lose your phone under my curse."
Penny paused for a moment with a slight panic in her eyes.
Now, she regretted very much and questioned herself: why did I always lose control of my emotions and speak without thinking? Why were I always angered by what Winnie said easily? Why couldn't I be as calm as Winnie?
"You're cursing me? Why do you curse me?"
Winnie asked thoughtfully.
She had seen the panicky expression in Penny's eyes clearly. Although Penny had tried to cover it up, she didn't miss it.
Winnie couldn't simply make a conclusion that Penny had something to do with her losing her cell phone, but it was necessary for her to take this opportunity to warn her.
"I curse you because you are shameless, because you are a bitch and because you have an affair with my husband."
Penny shouted loudly. However, the harder she tried to hide the real reason, the more she exposed.
"No, these aren't the real reasons. You want me to lose my phone in hopes that I'll lose all the evidence in it. This is the real reason why you curse me."
Winnie directly pointed out her true purpose, but she couldn't go too far because she had no evidence.
"You..."
