Chapter 88 Brian Apologized to Her
Chapter 88 Brian Apologized to Her
Brian realized that what he did today hurt Winnie a lot and that it was necessary for him to explain.
"Klara was one of my employees' wife. Four years ago, he met a car accident and passed away,
leaving his wife, his young children and his parents who are not very healthy. Klara had to support the
family on her own. Therefore, I must help her."
Winnie was surprised when she suddenly heard the explanation from Brian, but she didn't interrupt This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
him. She just listened quietly because she was interested in knowing if Klara was more unfortunate
than her.
"I let her work in my company. At the beginning, she was a secretary in the secretarial pool, but she
always worked around me. Feeling guilty about that employee, I have been taking care of her all the
time. Klara also worked very hard. A year after she worked for me, I promoted her to be an exclusive
secretary to me. I thought it would be more convenient for me to take care of her, but it didn't occurred
to me..."
Brian stopped here.
"It never occurred to you that she would fall in love with you."
Winnie completed what he want to say.
"You're an outstanding man and you cares so much for her. Any woman in her position would fall in
love with you. It's not Klara's fault. It's your fault."
Winnie put on a silly smile. Brian disliked and hated her, but she still fell in love with him when she was
in difficult position, not to mention Klara who was always protected by him.
"You help her..."
Winnie wanted to continue to analyze, but she suddenly realized that she couldn't continue to analyze.
It was very likely that Brian also liked Klara, otherwise he wouldn't let her apologize without asking
whose fault it was.
"It made your heart ache to see her suffer a little grievance, so you just came to her defense the
moment you saw me scold her."
"It wasn't that my heart ache to see her being aggrieved. I just felt guilty about my employee when I
saw her being sad."
Brian explained.
"There is no essential difference. You are afraid that you'll fail your employee and you are afraid that
Klara will be aggrieved. Naturally, I become the villain. I deserve being misunderstood."
She should be the most aggrieved one. No one could be as aggrieved as her both in the past and in
the future. If God knew her grievance, the God would pity her very much.
Thinking of this, Winnie put on such a bitter and puzzled smile that there were tears in her eyes.
It made Brian's heart ache to see all her expression changes. He didn't agree with what she said. He
didn't considered her to be a villain. He just couldn't handle things calmly when she was involved.
"Winwin, what happened today..."
He tried to explain, but Winnie didn't give him a chance. She was afraid that Brian would get excited
again as he spoke and then force her to apologize to Klara.
"Stop. You'll be disappointed if you want me to apologize to her. In your opinion, she is unfortunate.
However, she is lucky enough to have your protection."
In Brian's view, Klara was the most pitiful woman. However, Winnie thought that Klara was much
luckier than she was.
Klara luckily came across Brian, but no one had helped her when she was in her most difficult times.
Thinking of the past and the present, Winnie couldn't help crying. The first tear fell on Brian's face. In
an attempt to escape, she got up and got out of bed hurriedly. At this moment, her cell phone rang.
After looking at the caller ID in a panic, more tears streamed down her face.
Winnie turned around in fear that her kids would be worried about her after seeing her crying like this.
She went to the window, stood there with her back to Brian and then answered the phone.
"Aunt Isobel."
Her voice was nasal, which exposed the fact that she was crying.
"What's wrong? Are you crying?"
Isobel asked worriedly.
"Hmm."
Hearing her voice, it became even difficult for Winnie to stop weeping. Afraid that Isobel would be
worried about her, she had to cover her mouth with her hand and try her best to stop weeping.
"Who bullied you?"
Isobel continued to ask.
Winnie took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Nobody did. I cry just because of the plot of TV play. Don't worry. You know what I'm like. Who dares
to bully me?"
Winnie spoke with pretended casualness, but she felt her words were ironic. It wasn't that no one dared
to bully her. As a matter of fact, she not only couldn't avoid being bullied, but also couldn't resist.
At this time, Winnie found that someone hugged her from behind with great force. She felt a sense of
security and a peace of mind and therefore closed her eyes.
If only the man hugging her wasn't Brian and would protect her and would fall in love with her!
However, it was just fantasy. He would never love her.
"You silly girl, the plots of TV plays are not real. Don't take them seriously."
Aunt Isobel was scolding her lovingly. This was the realest feeling. Her love was the most steadfast
love.
Aunt Isobel said that the plots of TV plays were fake, but Winnie felt that the plots of TV plays were
much more real than what she was experiencing now.
"Aunt Isobel, do you telephone me for anything?"
"Nothing. I just want to know how you and kids are doing recently."
Isobel would make a phone call to Winnie every once in a while to simply ask how they were doing.
"We're fine. Don't worry about us. How's Vanessa doing recently? Did she work hard enough these
days?"
Winnie managed to calm himself down, but she still feel aggrieved because Brian was hugging her
from behind.
"She's having a general revision. In the past few days, she's a little listless. Perhaps it's because she's
under too much pressure. If you have time, make a phone call to her and encourage her more."
"Aunt Isobel, don't worry about it. I'll call her tomorrow. Aunt Isobel, I've still got some work to do, so I
have to hang up now."
Winnie hung up the phone after saying these few simple words.
"Let go of me. I'm going to cook for you."
As she spoke, she tried to make Brian let go of her with the hand that didn't take her mobile phone, but
Brian took her hand.
"I am sorry."
Brian whispered.
When he was in bed, he saw her aggrieved expression. Later, her tear dropped on his face. Just now,
although she was feeling so aggrieved, she told her aunt the good news and tried to cover the bad
news. Seeing all these, Brian became guiltier about her.
He was wrong. He shouldn't hurt Winnie because he felt guilty about that employee and he shouldn't
wrong her in the presence of Klara. Even if she was a liar, she should have human rights and the right
of being respected.
It made his heart ache to see her endure his roar and grievance alone. He must apologize so that
Winnie would no longer have pent-up feelings caused by him.
However, it was the first time that he apologized in his life.
Winnie was stunned and didn't believe what she had heard at all. She thought that she must be
hallucinating because of a lack of oxygen in her head after she cried.
"Let go of me. I'm going to cook for you now."
"Winwin, I'm sorry. I apologize for what I did today."
Brian apologized sincerely in a louder voice this time.
“……”
This time, Winnie heard clearly. She knew that it was not a hallucination. Instead, it was really an
apology from Brian.
Hearing his apology, Winnie's heart trembled. She twitched her nose and began weeping again.
How was it possible for this proud man to apologize to her? How could such an indifferent man like
Brian be so warm to her like the sun in the sky?
Winnie couldn't help crying out loud. Brian directly made her turn around and held her into his arms.
"It's my fault. It's my fault..."
Brian kept apologizing. Although it was the first time for him to apologize, he found it good for him to
apologize for his fault because he felt at ease after the apologizing.
This time, Winnie began to be on duty formally, but she refused to sign the labor contract. That was
because she was afraid that Brian would force her to leave the company one day. In this case, labor
contract would bring inconvenience to her.
After she spoke bluntly to Klara, Klara had a somewhat better attitude towards her. She no longer
sneered at her or looked contemptuously at her. She treated Winnie in a serious but formulaic way.
However, her strong jealousy clearly turned into hatred.
Winnie neither cared nor bothered about Klara's changes. As long important matters were no longer
affected, she wouldn't care even if Klara claimed that she was worthless.
Winnie went to work on time and got off work on time. Brian often went to her house. Also, they often
slept in the same bed, but they no longer had intimate physical contact with each other.
Winnie could feel that it was impossible for Brian to fall in love with her. Before, Brian touched her
because of his desire to conquer. Now, he knew her quite well. Naturally, he lost his desire to conquer.
That's good. When they respected each other, there was no passion. However, it was not bad to live a
plain life in the rest of their lives.
Winnie sat in the office, developing software. She would pay attention to the time from time to time,
because it was almost time to get off work.
"Winnie, President wants you to go to his office."
At this moment, Klara knocked on the door, came in and delivered the President's order to her.
"I'll be right there."
After saying that, Winnie began to put away the things on the table. After she put her personal
belongings in her bag, she went to the President's office.
"Mr. Bennet. I heard that you wanted to see me."
Winnie asked gently.
"I'm free today, so I'm going to pick up the kids with you."
Brian was putting away the documents on his desk.
"You're going to pick up the kids, too?"
Winnie tried to make sure if he was serious.
"Why? Is there any problem?"
Brian raised his head and asked coldly.
He was rarely free. He not only wanted to pick up the kids, but also wanted to get back to that house
and spend a little more time with them.
"No problem."
Winnie not only had no problem with his going to pick up the kids with her, but also was very glad that
he did this. This would be the best treatment for Luke.
"I'm going back to get my bag. Let's meet in the underground parking lot."
After saying that, Winnie turned around and walked out. Then, he heard Brian's voice.
"Come here after you get your bag."
Brian commanded in a peremptory voice.
Winnie walked out of the office without either turning back or stopping.
The moment she walked out of the President's office, she saw that the door of her office was just
closed.
Thinking that it was Alice who went in, she didn't give it a second thought. However, when she pushed
open the door, she found the person inside was Klara! Besides, what surprised her was that Klara was
rummaging through her bag.
"What are you doing?"
Winnie asked sullenly.
It was obvious that Klara was surprised and panicky to see Winnie at this moment.
"Oh...I...When I passed by your office, I seemed to hear your cell phone ringing. Therefore, I came in to
check."
Klara was in a daze for a while before she answered.
"My cell phone was ringing?"
Winnie asked in doubt.
