"President Lambert." Gavin knocked on the door of the president's office. "Miss Xia is here."

Brian looked up and saw Gavin and Miley. He gave Gavin a look without a trace.

After so many years of tacit understanding, Gavin immediately understood what Brian meant and chose to stay in Brian's office.

Brian greeted Miley and motioned for her to sit down.

Daisy came in with two cups of coffee. Seeing that Gavin didn't intend to leave, she gladly offered him a cup of coffee too.

The door of the office was wide open, and there was a third party in the room-Brian was obviously trying to avoid the suspicion of being with Miley!

Daisy's feeling could be described in one word-Cool!

Miley naturally understood everything, but she was smart enough that she didn't say anything about it.

She sat upright on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Mr. Brian, before we talk about business, I want to converse with you about the photos on the Internet first."

"There's nothing worthy to talk about," Brian said calmly. "We all know that it's just a misunderstanding."

"I'm very sorry," Miley said, "I shouldn't have been drunk that day, and I shouldn't have pestered you in the hotel. But I really didn't mean to vomit on you."

"I know. As for getting drunk, I can't blame you," Brian said, "I've already asked someone to investigate who took the photos and how they were uploaded to the Internet. There should be an answer soon."

Miley nodded. "It's in our best interest to find it out as soon as possible. I also want to know who did these things and what his purpose is."

"The photos have already affected me. You don't have to worry. I will deal with it." Brian looked at Miley indifferently. "Do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

Miley shook her head apologetically. "I've been abroad for too long. And I'm not familiar with the domestic media's rules at all. So, I'll leave it to you. I believe in you."

From the beginning to the end, Miley's performance looked quite normal. It seemed that she really didn't know what was going on with those photos, and it appeared that she was not involved in the exposure of them.

Brian kind of hoped that Miley was not acting, or...

There was a flash of killing intent in Brian's eyes, but on the surface, he still looked polite and distant. "When the results come out, I will tell you right away."

"Okay. There's something... I don't know if I should ask." Miley hesitated. "You said that this matter had already affected you. Did... did it affect your relationship with your wife? If so, I'm terribly sorry."

Brian smiled. "My wife and I aren't so distrustful of each other."

Miley hid her disappointment and said, "Oh, then what do you mean by the impact? It's just a misunderstanding. Can't you explain it to your wife?"

"How is it possible that I can't explain it clearly?" The first half of Brian's voice was still full of love, but when it came to the latter half of the sentence, his voice gradually cooled down. "It's just that I don't want such a misunderstanding to happen."

It was only then that Miley realized that Brian's feelings for Joanne had reached the point of bearing no defects

Even if it was just a misunderstanding, which could be explained easily, he could not tolerate it.

How much did he love that woman?

There was obviously something going on in Miley's heart, but on the surface, she still looked calm. "I'm relieved that you can explain it to your wife. Let's talk about work, shall we?"

"As for the cooperation, I'll leave it to Gavin for the time being," Brian said. "Before I take over the project again, you can talk to Gavin about all of it."

Not only Miley, but even Gavin was shocked.

"When did he hand it to me? Why don't I know anything about it?" Gavin thought to himself.

"What the fuck-fucking damn!"

Although he was roaring in his heart, on the surface, Gavin looked like, "Yes, this project already belongs to me." He made a gentleman's gesture of "please" and said, "Miss Xia, let's go to the conference room to talk."

Miley didn't react in time.

It was understandable to her that Brian kept the door of the office open and let Gavin be there-Brian had to avoid being gossiped about his relationship with her.

"But now, he even handed over the project to Gavin?"

"What's the position of Gavin? He is just an assistant!"

Miley did not move, and her expression gradually became unpleasant. "Mr. Brian, I understand why you did this. But, isn't this too irresponsible? Special Assistant Gavin is just your assistant. If he is in charge of the cooperation and management of the new project between Lambert Group and the MR Group, it will arouse suspicion when the news is widespread, won't it? Happy cooperation requires cooperation between both sides!"

"Gavin is my assistant. I know better than anyone how capable he is." Brian's face darkened. "You doubt his ability, which means... you doubt me?"

Miley was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. "I didn't mean that..."

"I understand why you have such concerns." Brian said, "Gavin is in charge of the project for the time being. If you or anyone else in MR have any dissatisfaction, I can take over the project again."

In this way, Brian had already made a concession.

Miley didn't know what to say, so she could only agree. "Okay."

She got up and followed Gavin out. When she was about to reach the door of the office, Brian suddenly added,

"I forgot to tell you that it won't take long before Gavin becomes the vice president of Lambert Group."

Miley looked at Gavin in surprise and immediately smiled. "I've heard that Mr. Gavin is competent. Now it seems that it's true. I can rest assured that Mr. Gavin will be in charge of the project."

Gavin smiled modestly. "Miss Xia, the meeting room is this way-"

On the way to the conference room, Gavin was silently cursing Brian.

Others couldn't see it, but it was obvious to him that Brian must have done it on purpose!

"Does he think he can force me to get promoted in this way?"

"Huh, does he think that all those years of working with him are useless?"

He had plenty of ways to deal with him!

Miley just felt that Gavin didn't seem to be very happy and thought that he might be angry about her words just now. She apologized and said, "Special Assistant Gavin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to deny you just now."

"Hmm?" Gavin's and Miley's thoughts were totally different. After half a second, he realized what she was talking about. He smiled and said, "What did you say just now? I'm sorry, I have forgotten."

When he smiled, it couldn't be more lethal.

He was an elegant hooligan and an evil gentleman. It was perfect to use such contradictory words to describe Gavin.

The most important thing was that the whole process of communicating with him could be very pleasant.

Miley smiled. "I finally know why others say that if you want to deal with Brian, you'll have to start with Gavin."

First, Gavin was easy to get along with.

Secondly, his relationship with Brian was really unusual. His words were more important than anyone else's.

Gavin just smiled and pushed open the door of the small conference room. "Come in, please."

By the time they finished their discussion, it was already noon. After he finished lunch in a hurry, it was another busy afternoon waiting for him.

When Gavin was about to get off work, he received a call from Henry, who told him that the results of his examination had come out.

He asked directly, "How is it?"

After a moment of silence, Henry said, "Come to the hospital first. Let's talk face to face."

The hidden meaning was very obvious-his condition was not very ideal.

Gavin lowered his voice. "Okay."

He soon arrived at the hospital, and Henry placed the report of the examination in front of him. He said with a serious look, "Gavin, your condition has begun to worsen."

"..."

It was obviously the expected answer, but Gavin still felt dizzy and everything was dark in front of him.

He continued to say, "Although it's not very obvious, in the following time, the symptoms will attack you more frequently. If it's convenient for you, stay in the hospital and start your treatment from now on so that I can acquire your latest condition at any time."

Gavin shook his head. "Not yet."

Henry still wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by the gesture of his hand.

He closed his eyes, quickly operating his brain. Soon afterward, he had arranged everything in his mind, saying, "I will fully cooperate with the treatment, but right now, there is no need for me to stay in the hospital. Also, don't tell anyone about this matter. Henry, I cherish my life too, but in terms of time, I have my own plans."

Henry said helplessly, "Well, I respect your own choice."

After leaving the hospital, Gavin stayed in the car for a long time before he calmed himself down. When he was about to call the driver to drive, his phone suddenly rang.

He thought it was a call from work, but the screen showed Wendy's name.

If there was nothing special, Wendy wouldn't call him.

He picked up the phone without hesitation. Wendy's anxious voice came from the phone. "Gavin, where are you?"

Gavin told her the address close to the hospital and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm at MiTime, and Connell... is in a fight."

"What's going on?" As he said that, Gavin had already asked the driver to head to MiTime bar.

"I can't explain it clearly for now, but the manager said that those people knew you." Wendy's intention was very obvious-she wanted Gavin to stop the fight.

"I'll be there in about 15 minutes." Gavin said, "Whether they fight or not, you should stay away from them. Don't get involved, and don't interfere. If someone makes trouble for you, just tell them that you are Chris and Brian's cousin. Do you hear me?"

"I heard you clearly." Wendy's voice became weaker and weaker.

Only now did Gavin remember that Wendy might have never seen a fight in her life, let alone a fight involving her boyfriend.

His voice became gentle. "Don't be afraid. I'll be there in a minute."

Wendy was silent for a moment before she said softly, "Hmm."

Gavin hung up the phone and urged the driver to drive faster.

Out of curiosity, the driver asked, "Special Assistant Gavin, is it your girlfriend's call?"

Gavin was surprised. "Why did you ask?"

The driver laughed and said, "The tone of your speech just now seemed to tell me that you were talking to your girlfriend."

Gavin was stunned and suddenly fell into silence.

In the face of Wendy, at the critical moment, he still couldn't control himself and accidentally exposed himself.

Fortunately, Wendy was in a panic, or she was very worried about Connell, so she couldn't detect the strangeness in his tone.

Otherwise, it would be awkward when they met.

"No." Gavin denied. "It's Mr. Brian's cousin. She has run into some trouble, so you should take me to MiTime as soon as possible to stop the fight before it gets worse."

"Okay!"

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the white Land Rover sped up in the direction of the bar...
