Chapter 102 Be Ready for the Acquisition
The four of them took two elevators and went straight to the 30th floor.
Brian went directly into the office. While the three assistants stood neatly outside the door of the
President's office.
As for this kind of formation, Klara hadn’t seen it for a long time. And she was surprised to see the
three assistants at the same time. Usually, Brian wouldn’t call Calvin and Morgan back without an
emergency. Even if he would, he would ask her to inform them. But why didn’t she know anything about
the fact that they would come back?
Before Klara had time to greet them, she saw them walk into the President's office. She could only put
away her doubts, planning to voice her concern once there was a chance.
It was silent in Brian's office. And the three assistants stood neatly, waiting for Brian’s orders.
Brian spoke with a cold and dash voice, "You will all be by my side from now on. And someone will take
over your work. Start working for me today. The first task for you is to acquire the Burns Group."
Brian gave an order without any emotion. This was his major decision last night.
Whether his grandfather agreed or not, he couldn’t delay it any longer. Continuing to delay this matter
would only cause harm to Winnie. He couldn't give Winnie any promises. Neither could he give her a
bright future. But he couldn't let her suffer unequal treatment or become someone else's prey.
Brian's sudden decision took the three assistants by surprise. The three of them looked at each other.
In the end, Albert spoke, "President Bennet, the Burns Group is still relatively solid now. It's not an easy
thing for us to acquire it. And MT's acquisition has also reached a critical moment. It should be a new
challenge for us to do both at the same time."
Albert voiced his opinion, which wasn’t against Brian's decision. However, as a special assistant, he
had to remind Brian.
"I am asking you guys to prepare everything and start working on it now. After all, you can't wait until
there is a chance before you start working on it. Because everything will be too late. And as for this
thing, you should personally get it done. Whoever leaks the secret is, don’t blame me for not giving you
a chance."
Brian’s tone sounded bitterly cold. And his eyes were dark.
He knew that the Burns Group was only a petty problem for the time being. But he had to prepare well
in advance. As long as Penny was working against Winnie, he had to give her a "surprise" and make
her regret it for the rest of her life.
"Don't worry, President Bennet, we won't reveal the secret."
The three men replied in unison. Hearing Brian said so, they knew what to do.
Brian continued to give orders, "Albert, hand over the matter of acquiring MT to Calvin. And the
planning case of acquiring the Burns Group will be dominated by Morgan. Your main focus during this
time is on Winnie and Penny. Make sure to find out the truth for me."
"Okay, President Bennet, I will hand my work over in a moment.
Albert understood Brian's words. Calvin and Morgan knew Penny, a big shot. However, as for who
Winnie was, they didn’t know about it.
Calvin and Morgan were looking at Albert in confusion. Then someone knocked on the door. After that,
Winnie pushed the door and walked in.
Albert turned back and saw that it was Winnie.
"Director Winnie."
After a simple greeting, Albert gave an affirmative look to Calvin and Morgan. And the two of them
instantly understood everything.
Calvin and Morgan turned back to look at Winnie. Both of them, who were attracted by Winnie's beauty
and temperament, couldn’t move their eyes off her for a while.
Before Winnie came in, she had asked Klara, thinking that no one was there. But two people were
standing in front of her whom she didn't know. She felt a little embarrassed instantly.
"President Bennet, you are busy. I'll come over later."
Winnie said indifferently and turned around, only to be called by Brian.
"Wait! They're going out."
Brian looked at Albert. And Albert got his point.
"Director Winnie, these two are Mr. Bennet’s assistants, Calvin and Morgan."
It was inevitable that they would have to be in frequent contact with Winnie in the future. So Albert's
introduction was a must. He spoke while pointing to the two men beside him.
Then he looked at Calvin and Morgan, indicating them to continue the introduction.
"This is the new software development director in our company, Ms. Winnie."
When Albert introduced Calvin and Morgan like this, Calvin and Morgan were even more sure of their
suspicions that this woman surely was connected deeply with President Bennet.
The two men greeted her together, "Hello, Director Winnie."
"Hello! Guys, hello!"
Winnie said modestly and casually with a bright smile naturally blooming on her face.
After the greeting was done, Albert, Calvin, and Morgan went out together.
As soon as the three of them walked out and closed the door to the President's office, they began to
whisper to each other
Calvin said somewhat excitedly, "Albert, I guessed it right. They surely are connected in that way."
Morgan asked curiously, "I guess so. I always feel that President Bennet is not as cold as before, which
is sure because of her. Albert, you should know everything, tell us."
"Stop it. You two are so nosy. Be careful in case Director Winnie will hear your words."
Albert stopped walking forward, only to be once again surrounded by Calvin and Morgan.
"Let's find a secluded place and talk there for a few words."
Calvin pulled Albert to the lounge. And Albert decisively refused.
"I'll tell you guys in detail when I have time someday. It is fine that you guys just remember that you
have to respect Director Winnienow. Otherwise, nobody can save you."
"When will your gossip end? I have been standing here for a while. Can’t you see me?"
As soon as Albert finished his words, Klara interrupted their conversation.
"Klara, long time no see."
Calvin and Morgan greeted her somewhat awkwardly before they stopped being curious.
They were usually quite calm and sophisticated. But the fact that there was a new woman beside Brian
made them fail to calm themselves down.
Calvin had been with Brian for five years. And Morgan had been with Brian for four years. They had
never seen that Brian was attentive to any woman.
But today, Brian asked Calvin and Morgan to investigate Winnie. The two of them could no longer calm
down.
The fact that Brian had a woman by his side was much more shocking to them than acquiring the
Burns Group.
Klara asked in confusion, "Long time no see. why are you guys back all of a sudden?"
That was the reason why she had been waiting for them to come out.
Calvin answered Klara's question naturally, "Our mission was completed ahead of schedule. And our
work performance was excellent. So we came back early."
President Bennet had just finished instructing them not to let anyone including Klara know why they
came back for.
"Is it so simple?"
Klara still had doubts.
"Of course. Otherwise, what do you think?"
Calvin remained calm. And the look on his face didn’t reveal any clues. But he could see that Klara's
eyes weren’t as distractions-free as before.
Morgan opened his mouth and ended the brief conversation, "Well, the four of us should get together to
talk again sometime tonight. See you tonight, Klara."
In the President's office... NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Winnie put the documents on Brian's desk and asked curiously, "Are these two assistants your
recruits?"
Brian didn’t immediately look through the documents. Instead, he got up, came to Winnie's side, and
answered Winnie as he was extremely close to her, "One has been by my side for five years. And the
other one for four years. Do you think they are recruits?"
Winnie unconsciously took a step backward. After all, they were in the company. And someone would
come in at any time, especially Klara. If she saw them so close, she would be against her in every way.
But she forgot that it was the staircases behind her. Failing to stand firmly, she completely leaned
backward. Fortunately, Brian took action quickly and easily put a hand around Winnie’s waist to hold
her, making Winnie free from physical injuries.
Brian embraced Winnie in front of his chest and scolded her, "You are an adult. How come you are so
indiscreet?"
While Winnie seemed to haven’t yet gotten over the shock. There was still a panicked look in her eyes.
Winnie blamed him softly, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't suddenly approached me, how would I have
stepped backward?"
At that time, they agreed not to let anyone know about their relationship. If it was confirmed by the
employees in the company, they would judge her.
"No one else is here. What are you afraid of? Not everyone can just barge into my office.."
Brian still tightly hugged Winnie without the intention of letting her go.
"Let go. This is your office. You said we should separate our work from our private life."
Winnie was eager to break free from his arms. She couldn’t guarantee that Klara wouldn’t come in.
Brian helplessly let go of Winnie, his face clouded up a bit.
Brian asked in a low voice, "When will your sister come over?"
"It's not confirmed yet. But she surely will arrive within ten days."
"When your sister is here, you have to be on call. And you can't make excuses to refuse me."
Brian got serious. Last night, he had forgotten to say this After all, her sister would be here for more
than a month. He surely had to contact Winnie from time to time.
"Should I show up every time you call me? I sound like MYN to you. As long as you aren’t excessive, I
will be at your call."
As Winnie said these words, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Her current state was even worse than
being an MYN. So far, she had made sacrifices without asking for a little return.
The only thing that comforted her was that Luke was by her side.
Brian's eyes darkened a few points. And he didn’t continue to speak.
Winnie continued to speak, "Go to my place tonight. I want to tell you something."
It was time to solve Brian's icy attitude towards Luke. Although she hadn’t yet come up with any
solution, she couldn’t delay it after Vanessa arrived here, which would only affect the recovery of Luke's
illness.
Brian said indifferently, "I know. But it's going to be later. I have a social engagement."
The time he spent on Winnie was already beyond his budget. He thought that they could talk about it at
night.
After Winnie left, Brian started to concentrate on his work. But he would think of Winnie's slightly sad
eyes when she spoke just now.
He felt that the way he spoke to her probably wasn’t appropriate. He didn’t want to let her out of his
sights for a long time. However, he told her that she should be at his call instead. His words made him
look so domineering that he didn’t care about her feelings.
However, she was suffering all of these in silence. Was it because of Luke only?
Luke wasn’t connected biologically to her at all. Why did she have to suffer like this because of Luke?
After getting off work, Winnie picked up the children and took them home. Seeing her carrying a lot of
things in her hands, the two children wanted to help her, only to be refused by her.
Walking from the parking lot towards the door of the unit, Winnie felt that her hands were strangled in
pain. As she wanted to put down the things to rest for a while, a pair of large hands held all for her in
time. Then a warm and somewhat magnetic voice rang, "Why did you buy so many things? I will help
you take them."
It was Leo who said heartily. Then he picked up all the things in Winnie's hands.
"they are too heavy. Or I'll do it by myself."
Seeing Leo carry so many things for her, Winnie felt somewhat embarrassed. She rushed to reach out
to pick up the things. But Leo dodged her.
"My strength seems to be greater than yours. Go quickly. Walk a little slowly. I can’t carry them any
longer either."
As Leo jokingly said, he slightly hooked up his lips. And his eyes were warm.
"Oh, then hurry up and go."
As Winnie said dumbly, she hurried forward.
