Hotel, Lambert Group' annual meeting site.

Lambert Group' annual meeting every year was very grand.

Its five-star hotel had not been open for the past two days, only accepting Lambert Group' employees, all free of charge.

The annual meeting usually started at 7:00 pm. Brian would briefly summarize the company's operation in the past year, and announced the expansion plan for the coming year. Finally, he thanked all the staff for their contributions to the company during that period.

Often when his speech ended, and employees would feel like rushing back to the company to work overtime.

But female employees would never have that impulse. For those who couldn't easily reach Brian, the annual meeting was a good opportunity. Anyone with courage could go to him.

When Brian was still single, the female employees in the week before the annual meeting wondered how to dress up and how to amaze him.

However, in the past years, Brian had always taken Rosalyn to attend, and their painstaking efforts were all overwhelmed.

That year, Rosalyn had left Lambert Group Media Co. , and Joanne, the ex-wife, did not appear at the annual meeting. Brian went alone...

Their chances were coming!

"Stop pushing." The female employees were excited to look at Brian on the speech stage. "All of you will see him!"

The male colleagues couldn't help but joke, It's as if you could split Mr. Brian among yourselves.

"What do you know!? A super-premium man like Mr. Brian, a woman can't digest him alone! You see the consequences of the former president's wife having him to herself alone? She was so maligned!"

Another female colleague echoed, "Yes, Mr. Brian is such a perfect man, he should be a popular lover!"

In the discussion, Brian's speech ended, and the audience all applauded. It was almost at the same time; the door of the banquet hall was pushed open-

Some people, born with a halo of stars, no matter what the occasion, no matter how many people were present, could always attract everyone's attention.

It was Rosalyn who had suddenly showed up.

The discussion immediately exploded, and a female employee screamed, "Why is she here? Is it really like the media reported, that Mr. Brian was with her?"

At the annual meeting in previous years, as long as Rosalyn appeared, other female colleagues would be stunned by her, even if they were all dressed up.

Therefore, there weren't many female employees at Lambert Group' head office who liked Rosalyn.

So someone immediately said bitterly, "Then, I would rather Mr. Brian be with his former wife!"

It was not that Joanne was not beautiful. Joanne did not lose to Rosalyn, but there was a big difference between them: Rosalyn's beauty and sexiness were arrogant, sharp and angular, and very aggressive. Women did not like to be with such a woman.

But Joanne was different. Joanne's beauty was like being soft-lighted, warm, not a bit aggressive, and it made people feel unprepared for her.

When Brian and Joanne were together, they, as the people who admired Brian for a long time, at least felt comfortable.

But if Rosalyn had Brian to herself, they would not accept it!

Rosalyn knew very well that some women were hostile toward her, but she didn't care, because she didn't need to.

She did not squint, stepping on the 10cm Jimmy Choos high heels, carrying a queen's gesture and heading straight to Brian, naturally greeting him, "Good evening."

Brian did not remember sending an invitation to Rosalyn for the annual meeting, and he frowned slightly. "Why are you here?"

"I have been with you at this time of the year. I am here this year, why is it weird?" Rosalyn put on a smile on her lips, "Or, would you rather let the female employees who are coveting you entangle you?"

"I'll give you a minute, leave this place." Brian's voice was chilly, and he just walked away without seeing Rosalyn.

Rosalyn barely convinced the security guard to let her in. How could she leave?

She maintained a distance that was not intimate and alienated, and followed Brian. All kinds of gazes were cast from all sides; disdain, and envy, but more of curiosity.

Many people were waiting to see a good show.

If Brian continued to ignore Rosalyn like that, then her deliberately messing the schedule, it would become a drama insulting herself.

However, their anecdote had recently been circulated, so she did not mind taking the initiative.

Rosalyn followed Brian as she did in previous years, and smiled and responded to each person who greeted her after they greeted Brian.

Brian's face looked more and more gloomy, and when he reached a corner where there was no one, he turned back and looked at Rosalyn. He said, "Have you had enough?"

How can I? Rosalyn's white and slender fingers pointed at Brian's heart. What I want is to live in here.

Brian sneered and took away Rosalyn's hand. "I advise you to forget about it."

"Don't tell me that you still remember Joanne," Rosalyn smiled, "I heard that she ran to see Shawn's parents. Moreover, the Jameson Family did not mind that she was previously married."

Brian squinted and said word for word, "In this life, Joanne can't be remarried!"

Although he said it in such a determined way, Brian's mood was still uncontrollable and was angered.

After leaving the Jiangyuan Hotel that day, he never saw Joanne again, but he always remembered the way she talked with the Jameson Family that day, remembering what she said to him that day-

"Brian, let me go, I don't want to stay with you anymore. Since you didn't want me to be in danger at first, and didn't want to look for me and see me, why do you force me to take risks with you now?"

He couldn't care less about what Joanne had said, and he couldn't convince himself that it was what Joanne deliberately said to stimulate him. At that time, her expression was dead serious.

However, it was even more unacceptable for him that Joanne really wanted to leave him.

In the past few days, Gavin had at times mentioned Joanne inadvertently while speaking with him, saying that she stayed in Chris's apartment, and did not go out at all. Shawn only commuted between his apartment and the police station, and had nothing to do with Joanne.

The more the case was, the more he felt depressed. Rosalyn's words only made it worse.

"Mr. Brian," the company's acting financial controller approached them and raised a cup toward Brian, "I want to make a toast to you, wishing you a happy new year in advance."

Brian responded politely. Looking up, the liquid in the cup went straight to the bottom.

The acting director was secretly stunned and put a smile on his face. "Mr. Brian is good at drinking."

Next, as long as someone toasted Brian, he would not refuse; he would smile and drink up, which made the employees feel flattered.

Rosalyn tried to grab Brian's wine glass several times, but before she did it, Brian would look at her coldly, and she had to take back her hand.

She was not the woman who could take control of Brian.

The consequence of Brian's continuous drinking was getting drunk.

Gavin greeted the company's vice president and sent Brian to go home.

After returning from the Jiangyuan Hotel that day, Brian's face was always cloudy, as if he would get angry at any time, and old employees were afraid to greet him.

On the second day, after the news of Shawn and Joanne's Seeing Parents came out, he guessed that such a day had to come, and Brian would definitely use alcohol to paralyze himself.

Rosalyn caught up with Gavin. "I will send him back with you."

"No need," Gavin closed the door and said, "In case others misunderstand."

Rosalyn was silent for a long while, and sincerely looked at Gavin. "Please give me a chance."

"What?" Gavin leaned a hand on the car and looked at Rosalyn.

Rosalyn paused and said, "I like him. I like him since I first saw him. I tried to pick up drama and hone my acting skills, just to be able to stand on his side proudly one day, and people would not say that I'm with him because of money." Now that I succeeded, he and Joanne got married, he even told me that he loves Joanne. Other than Joanne in this life, he does not want anyone.

Gavin was still very confused. "Miss Rosalyn, what are you trying to say...?"

"I want to see if when he's not sober, does he still only want Joanne?" Rosalyn first expressed her pleading eyes, "Gavin, please give me this opportunity. Or, give me a chance so that I can let it go, if tonight he can prove that he will never belong to me, I will choose to let him go."

There were not many interactions between Gavin and Rosalyn, but he knew how proud that woman was.

Giving an opportunity to let Rosalyn forget about him, but also giving Brian peace, why not?

Gavin opened the door of the back seat. "Get in the car."

He sent Brian back to the apartment in the city center.

Maybe he knew that Joanne was not around, so after he got drunk, Brian was very peaceful. When Gavin asked him to go upstairs, he took a step. He did not realize that Rosalyn was behind him, and he did not know that the telephoto lens was aimed at him and Rosalyn at the moment.

After sending Brian back to the room to rest, Gavin looked at Rosalyn. "What do you want to do?"

"Give me twenty minutes," Rosalyn said, "but please go out."

Gavin looked at the time, nodded and left the room.

Brian's apartment and villa were decorated in different styles, more modern but simpler. The lines of the furniture were simple and neat; almost all of them were black and white, and the whole room revealed a unique cold taste.

Rosalyn looked at Brian on the bed, just like seeing him for the first time.

She took off her coat and slowly lay down on the bed, leaning into Brian's arms.

Brian seemed to be aware of it, reaching out to hug her. She was happy, but before that joy had spread out from the bottom of her heart, it fell into the bottom of the valley-

Brian called, "Joanne."

It turned out that he regarded her as Joanne.

After a long time, Rosalyn succeeded in persuading herself not to care. Brian was drunk, and it was normal to treat her as Joanne.

She answered, unlocked the button of Brian's shirt and touched his lips.

Since she had been confused with Joanne, then that day, she thought that Brian would accept her.

Half of Brian's consciousness was vague.

In vagueness, he seemed to have returned to the past-his arms were no longer empty. Joanne leaned over like a small obedient pet, leaning on him, occasionally looking up at him with a smile.

And as long as he bowed his head, he could hold her honeyed lips and enjoy her sweetness.

She left him for so long and finally she was willing to come back.

Brian circled her slender waist, turned over, and the "Joanne" in his arms became his prey...
