Duncan would like Liberty because he had been with her for a long time, was gradually attracted to her,


    and gradually fell in love with her.


    He was not suitable for falling in love at first sight; he was only suitable forsting love.

    Ainsley believed she was superior to Liberty and believed she could persuade Duncan to choose her


    over Liberty if given the opportunity.


    By the time the two of them had settled the business matters, it was time for dinner.


    Ainsley took the initiative to invite Duncan to have dinner together.


    Duncan declined Ainsley’s invitation. He said, “I have difficulty moving now. Unless I have dinner with


    my friends, I have to go to thepany cafeteria.”


    “Well, Mr. Lewis, when you recover, I will treat you to dinner.” Ainsley couldn’t force herself, fearing that


    being too deliberate would arouse Duncan’s resentment. She was also worried that Duncan would see


    through her thoughts and immediately draw a clear line with her, which would be more gain than loss.


    Duncan rarely interacted with unmarried young women.


    Even if there are women among the bosses who cooperate with Lewis & Co., the youngest are middle-


    aged like her, and most of them are at the level of grandmothers.


    If she hadn’t supported her husband’s family and had a son, Duncan might not have personally been


    responsible for cooperating with herpany.


    In Duncan’s eyes, Ainsley was the daughter-inw of her husband’s family and a married woman. Even


    if her husband dies, as long as she does not remarry or leave her husband’s family, in the eyes of


    outsiders, she is still the daughter-inw of her husband’s family, a separate individual.


    It was difficult for Duncan to have any thoughts about her.


    “Ms. Girard, I’ll ask the secretary to send you off.” Duncan didn’t get up to see Ainsley off. He had


    difficulty moving. No matter whoes, he rarely stands up. Everyone can understand him.


    Ainsley smiled, shook hands with Duncan, and said, “Mr. Lewis, it’s a pleasure to work with you.”


    “A pleasure to work with.” Duncan told his secretary toe in, and he escorted Ainsley and her


    secretary out.


    The secretary escorted Ainsley and the two to the first floor until they left in the car. The secretary was


    about to go back to resume his duties. When he turned around and walked not far, he saw Duncan


    coming out in a wheelchair.


    It was time to get off.


    The secretary continued to walk behind Duncan, pushing him forward.


    Duncan always had two meals in thepany’s cafeteria, and his secretary naturally followed him. He


    was too embarrassed to go out to have a big meal alone.


    “Mr. Lewis, Ms. Girard is beautifully dressed today. Could it be that she is in love? She usually wears


    professional suits.”


    Although Duncan’s secretary was male, he also had a gossipy side. He pushed Duncan out of the


    office building and walked to thepany canteen. On the way, he couldn’t help but gossip with


    Duncan.


    Duncan said, “Really? Did she dress up deliberately today? I didn’t notice this. Oh, I remembered that


    when she came yesterday, she was wearing a women’s suit and did not have long hair. Today she has


    long hair.”


    Amusingly, the secretary said, “Ms. Girard has always had long hair, but she usually ties it into a bun at


    the back of her head. Today she did not put her hair into a bun; she just let her hair down. You said that


    she was so excited overnight. She can go from short hair to long hair in a matter of seconds. It’s not


    like wearing a wig. Just put it on her head, and she can get any hairstyle.”


    Duncanughed and said, “I don’t pay attention to these. She and I are just talking about projects and


    business. Whether she is in a rtionship or not is her private matter. If there is gossip, just listen to it.


    If there is no gossip, let’s not create gossip to avoid ruining people’s reputations.


    Ms. Girard’s husband has been away for several years. It’s not easy for her to live in a house with a


    son, support her parents-inw, and take care of thepany. We should not gossip about her or


    make fun of her until there is no factual basis. Right and wrong, he became a rumor maker.”
