The woman with the black cap walked into the elevator. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
However, just as the elevator door was about to close, someone opened it from outside.
The woman raised her head in surprise and saw Bryson walking in.
Audrey looked at him and blinked her eyes in a puzzle. She stuttered because of shock, "Bryson, why are you here?"
Bryson smiled at her, "What's wrong with me being here?"
"Nothing," Audrey watched as the elevator door closed and said in disbelief, "It's just that I think you'll be at the company today. What brings you here?"
Bryson glanced at her and said, "I guessed that you would come here this afternoon. I happened to be around to deal with some business, so I stopped by to take a look!"
Audrey was speechless.
Even Bryson "happened" to come here, it was still too coincidental to bump into her so soon.
"I thought you would be taking care of the decoration work of the law firm this afternoon," Bryson asked curiously.
Audrey blinked and explained, "I was called here by a client."
"As far as I know, that client of yours made an appointment with you in the opposite direction."
Audrey was lost for words.
She didn't expect that he would know so well about her schedule.
But that made sense.
Ever since she was caught in that accident last time, Bryson had sent several bodyguards to protect her at all times. Wherever she went, those people would have to report to Bryson immediately. Therefore, it was simply a piece of cake for him to know her actions.
Audrey frowned, "Are all my actions under your supervision? Can't I have some privacy?"
"Is there something you want to do behind my back?" Bryson narrowed his eyes and said in an upset tone, "Is there a man you wish to see without me knowing?"
Audrey couldn't catch up with his outrageous ideas.
After a while, she said with pretentious seriousness, "Is there a man more handsome than you in Peace City?"
Bryson was content with her compliment yet he remained suspicious, "Not for now, but who's to say."
Audrey explained impatiently, "Then stop being jealous of uncertainties."
"I'm reasonably worried that you might be attracted by a more handsome man."
Audrey blurted out, "Of course I..."
Before she could finish the sentence, she felt the atmosphere become a little tenser. Thus, she paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Of course, I will not."
Feeling the tension is relieved, Audrey was also relaxed.
After she finished speaking, the elevator reached the middle of the building. They were to take another elevator to the top.
Audrey quickly pressed the elevator button and pulled Bryson in as soon as the door opened.
Bryson looked at Audrey in shock.
"Audrey, you are a lawyer!"
Audrey pressed the button to the top floor, then looked at him in confusion.
"So what?"
Bryson said, "Don't you think that as a lawyer, the representative of fairness and justice, you should be more dignified and stable?"
He said these words so politely that Audrey couldn't find any hard word to retort him.
...
Usually, Audrey was stable. However, when it came to Harold, she could hardly stay calm.
"I'm just concerned about my brother. We're as close as one. It's no use remaining stable when my family may be in trouble."
"Haven't you heard that sometimes it would be better to leave each other with more space in a family?"
"Nothing would go wrong if we are careful enough and stay invisible to them."
Bryson didn't know what to say.
He was fully aware that his girlfriend was not an easily-persuaded person.
Before long, Bryson and Audrey arrived at the top of the TV tower.
Since the elevator wouldn't make much of a sound when arriving, people on this floor wouldn't notice that they were there.
Furthermore, Harold was too obsessed with the street view he saw from the top of the tower to find Bryson and Audrey coming up. The same went for Winnie.
After walking out of the elevator, Audrey pulled Bryson and hid in the corner, lest Harold and Winnie found out.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the TV tower, Harold couldn't resist his excitement and kept talking to Winnie, "Look over there, there is the North River. The maple leaves on both sides are red, making the river water look red. Over there is the Peace City TV Station, and there is a diving platform on it. The TV station often holds some competitive games that can be participated in by every resident. You can also see my school over there. It is the first time for me to stand in such a high place to observe my school. I can see the playground, the canteen, and the student dormitory!"
He became more and more thrilled, "If I brought my sister's telescope here today, I could have a better view now."
Winnie was listening to every word of his with a gentle smile when she heard him mention his sister.
...
She asked, "Your sister? You have a sister?"
Harold, whose mind was occupied by the view, didn't think twice before he answered her question, "That's right. The last time you went to my house, the girl you saw was my biological sister."
Winnie looked at Harold in surprise.
"If she is your sister, why don't you two share the same family name?"
"I was kidnapped when I was young. I was later adopted and so I took the surname of my foster parents," being indulged in the scenery, Harold didn't bother to conceal anything.
Winnie, on the other hand, was finally relieved when she knew the truth.
She was glad that the beautiful young lady was not Harold's girlfriend but his sister.
When Harold said that he was with that girl, Winnie misunderstood their relationship. Thinking back on that, she found it ridiculous to be jealous of his biological sister.
Winnie was lost in thought with her head down for a moment. Her smile grew broader and when she looked up at Harold again, her eyes were filled with unstained attachment.
Hiding in the corner, Audrey could spot every movement and expression of Winnie.
Audrey turned around and said excitedly to Bryson, "That girl seemed to be genuinely enchanted with my brother. I could tell from her expression!"
Bryson couldn't interrupt her passion.
After carving this scenery into his heart, Harold finally turned around although he wished to enjoy the view more.
He suddenly remembered that Winnie was standing beside him all along. He cleared his throat before he said in a serious tone, "Miss Winnie, it's a reward for us to come here. This is an honor, not a date. I hope that you don't take it in the wrong way."
