Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 63

"That's why I told Miss Brown that I didn't care about the background. In the future, I will be your background. I will protect you, and she'd better leave you in peace."

Laura looked at him in surprise. "Are you kidding me?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask her."

Her face suddenly blushed for some reason. "Heh, then she's probably pissed to death."

"That's not my responsibility."

She looked at him. "There is a question that I am particularly curious about. May I ask?"

"Go ahead."

"You have so many women by your side, why do you like me? Is it because I'm poor and different from the women around you? Or do you think I'm a misery and you do this out of sympathy? If it's true, then you might have misunderstood something. I'm not as miserable as you think. I just like money."

"I have two answers to that question. Which do you want to hear?"

"Truth or lies? Then you can tell me both. "

"They are both true, but there are two ways to say it. Saying it tactfully, it is that I talked a lot when I'm with you. I want to find a woman who can open my heart and chat with me. Saying it directly, I want to sleep with you. "

"Cough, cough," she was startled by his straightforward reply and covered her mouth to stop herself from coughing. "Do you love me then?"

William Walton looked at her, "Right now, I admire you very much. However, there is still a small gap between love. I will pay my effort to fill the gap."

"Can you sleep with a woman even you don't like her?"

"If it was another woman, it would be impossible. However, as I've said before, I had a crush on you. So, I want to sleep with you. To me, your body is emitting a medicinal fragrance."

"Medicine fragrance?" She wondered where she got the medicinal scent.

"Love potion."

She coughed again.

If this man wasn't good-looking, she would have called the police.

"William Walton, I'll tell you clearly, I saw with my own eyes how my mother struggled her entire life, so I won't entrust my feelings to someone who doesn't love me. If possible, I hope that you can move your target away from me, I don't want to get hurt."

William Walton looked at her, and then pursed his lips: "If you don't try, how do you know that you will be hurt? Perhaps I am worthy of your trust for the rest of your life. "

"But I'm not suitable for you."

"Nothing is absolute."

However, she firmly believed that they were not suited.

Instead, she took out a beautifully wrapped box from her bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of him.

"What is this?" he wondered.

To show my gratitude, I bought a gift for you yesterday. I know that you are not lacking in anything, and perhaps you will think that it is cheap, not worthy of your taste, but I will buy it anyway because I want to let my heart be at ease. If you want to throw it away, can you find a place after you leave that I cannot see?

Hearing her words, William Walton raised his eyebrows. A gift?

This was the first time in his life that he had received a gift from a woman.

He wanted to open the box.

Embarrassed, she stretched out her hand and pressed down on him. "Can't you go back and look at it?"

William Walton raised his eyebrows. "So mysterious?"

"I just don't want to see your look of disdain. I'll be ashamed."

He opened it anyway, and there was a dark blue pen in the box.

He took out the pen and saw that it was still engraved with words.

He raised his eyebrows. "You carved these words?"

"The sample of the character was written by me, but I was afraid that it wouldn't be good to carve it, so I let someone help me carve it."

He stared at the tiny words on it.

William Walton, thank you.

Seeing him size up the words, she said rather embarrassedly, "Isn't it a bit rustic?"

He didn't say anything. He just stuffed the pen into his shirt pocket and asked, "How is it?"

She pursed her lips into a smile. "I think it's pretty good, but from your taste, it's possible that ..."

"That's good," William Walton said as he raised his eyebrows. "I'll make good use of it."

She was stunned for a moment. Did he accept the gift?

"Then come find me after you finish eating."

"But ..."

"It's settled then. Go back to your work." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He picked up his internal network and called his secretary. "Daniel, investigate who is the one leading Training Department's impromptu lecturer and transfer him to another for a business trip."

The secretary was stunned. "Right now?"

"Right now, immediately, immediately, in ten minutes, get him out of the company."

"Alright."

"After the call, you can get off work. Come back at half-past one."

Hanging up, Daniel was puzzled. Since when did Mr. Walton start to care about the Training Department? How rare.

Half an hour later, she stepped into the elevator.

Reaching the 36th floor, she got off the elevator and carefully looked around.

There was no one around.

She walked along the long corridor until she finally saw the words CEO's office.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in."

It was William Walton's voice.

Letting out a breath of relief, she pushed open the door and entered. She looked at him and said, "You scared me."

"What the hell?"

"What? I'm afraid of being seen by others, so I'm a bit worried, okay? To not arouse suspicion, I pressed on the 35th floor first. Seeing that there's no one at the door, I came up. "

"What if there's someone at the door?"

"I just got off the elevator and said I walked in the wrong place."

"Seeing you like this, those who don't know might think that you're having a secret affair with me." As he spoke, he walked closer to her and leaned behind her. He said ambiguously, "Why don't I make this matter real?"
