NovelEnglishChapter 709 Women in Love Were All Foolish Selena's eyes went dark just as the elevator doors slid open.
Brody slung an arm around the woman's waist and muttered, "This is the top floor. We might even bump into the big boss. Just drop off the lunch and let's bounce." Ann's desk was indeed on the top floor, and everyone was peeking over since it was break time.
The woman stopped making a fuss but still grumbled under her breath as she trailed behind Brody.
Ann spotted Brody right away and rushed over. "Brody," she called out.
Brody was about to reply when Ann turned to Selena. "Ms. Fair, the docs for the afternoon are on the conference room table. Once you give the thumbs up, I'll send them to the higher-ups." Selena nodded, catching the woman's face souring and Brody looking all kinds of awkward.

Realizing Selena had overheard his convo with his mom and had seen him cozying up to Jessica at the art exhibit, Brody felt super uncomfortable.
Even the woman beside him looked embarrassed and kept her mouth shut.
Sensing the awkward vibe, Ann asked, "What's up?" Selena smiled, "It's nothing, Ann. Is this your fiancé?" Ann nodded sweetly but felt a bit embarrassed since it was Brody's first tbringing her lunch at work. "Yeah, Ms. Fair. If we're bothering the folks up here, I'll take them downstairs right away," Ann said.
"No need." Selena's eyes landed on the woman, who now looked as regretful as she had been cocky earlier. She hadn't expected Selena to be so young and the president of such a big company, and she had even overheard her scolding Ann.
She felt uneasy because Ann was indeed very good at her job. Brody hadn't fully locked down Jessica yet, and it was uncertain if he could marry her.
So Ann, as the backup plan, had to be secured first. Otherwise, she wouldn't have tagged along with Brody tonight, just to put on a show and make Ann completely devoted to Brody. But now that Selena was here, her act couldn't continue, and she just wanted to leave quickly.
Selena, however, said, "Let's hit the lounge next door, don't just stand there. I could use a cup of coffee too." Ann quickly led Brody and the woman to the lounge.
As the woman sat down, she couldn't help but look around.
When she was young, she was just a country girl who lucked out by marrying a guy from Silver Bay City who was handling sbusiness in her neck of the woods. That was her ticket out and into the city life. But without an education, making bank in Silver Bay City was a pipe dream. Opportunities were everywhere, but only if you had the chops to grab 'em.
Luckily, she had a rockstar son, Brody, who even got into Silver Bay University, making her the pride of the family.
They finally bought a house and just finished paying off the loans. She figured once Ann married into the family, she could help out. But then Brody got promoted to manager and met a rich dude's daughter. The woman pulled her gaze back and quietly asked Brody, "That chick overheard our convo. Is that cool?" Brody felt uneasy too. He still had feelings for Ann, but he was on the fence and hadn't really decided to ditch her completely.
He admitted he was dazzled by the fancy places Jessica took him, but he felt guilty when facing Ann.

Sometimes he felt deeply ashamed of his wavering, but he couldn't resist the temptation Jessica brought.
Now, Penny's presence was a ticking tbomb. If Penny spilled the beans to Ann, it would be gover for him and Ann.
But he had already introduced Ann to his friends. If Ann in spread the news of his cheating, it would be super embarrassing for him. He should feel guilty toward Ann, but thinking about what Ann might do made him feel irritated.
On the other side, Ann brought coffee to Selena, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Ms. Fair, I'll go talk to them."
After all, she was a woman, and that was the man she had loved for seven years. Selena felt a bit sorry for her and could only continue to remind her, "I noticed your future mother-in-law doesn't seem very satisfied with you?" "A little bit, because I used to be too busy with work to communicate with them. It will get better in the future," replied Ann. The light in her eyes was so bright that Selena couldn't bear to see it dim. She opened her mouth and after a long tsaid, "I saw your fiancé at the art exhibition, and he was with another woman." She thought that by saying this, Ann would notice something.
But Ann just smiled, "That's his female client. Brody works in the business department and deals with clients every day. Sometimes he even has to accompany clients to social events to secure deals. There's no other way." Women in love were all foolish.
