Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Politely Refusing Kindness (4) Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Politely Refusing Kindness (4) “Grandpa is just teasing, alright, I won’t say more. I’m going to take a shower upstairs, just wait for my good news.” Joyce was very confident.

She had just called Bryan Hawkins today, telling him where she was dining and that she had forgotten her wallet. In less than half an hour, he showed up, which was proof enough that she had a place in Brother Bryan’s heart.

As long as she had a place in his heart, she would work hard to pursue him and love him for the rest of her life.

Filled with such beautiful wishes, Joyce was singing in the shower, and when she lay in bed, she thought about calling Bryan Hawkins. In two days, he would fly again, and she could not go with him; she was not very happy about it.

She also regretted not studying to be a secretary. That way, she could have traveled with him like Xavier Estrada. But she knew that Bryan Hawkins’ female secretaries were office-bound, while male secretaries and assistants were qualified to follow him around. She thought Bryan Hawkins was somewhat sexist in this regard.

In fact, Bryan Hawkins was not sexist but simply did not want to provoke more trouble for himself.

When the phone rang once and no one answered, Joyce called again. Bryan Hawkins finally answered, “Hello?”

“Brother Bryan, have you arrived home?” Joyce was very excited to hear Bryan Hawkins’ voice.

At the company, no one knew about Joyce’s close relationship with Bryan Hawkins. She never acted inappropriately in public, so even Xavier Estrada didn’t know that the Lopez Family was acquainted with the Hawkins Family.

Joyce did not want to be the subject of gossip. She had been admitted to the Hawkins Family company based on her ability, and it wasn’t until three months after she began working there that she went to Bryan Hawkins’ office to surprise him.

Thus, she did not like it when people said she got the job through someone in the Hawkins Family.

“I am home, about to sleep,” Bryan Hawkins replied as he sat on the balcony, drinking coffee and staring at the starry night sky.

He really did not feel like sleeping but did not want to talk more with Joyce either, so he said that.

“Hmm, I’m going to sleep as well. Brother Bryan, good night. I just wanted to say goodnight to you and… thank you.” Joyce blushed, her heart racing. She actually wanted to say I love you, but in the end, she didn’t have the courage, so she changed it to thank you.

“No need, just remember to bring your wallet next time. If there is a next time, call Xavier Estrada, or your brother. I believe your brother would be even more willing.” After saying this, Bryan Hawkins hung up the phone.

He only went today because of sheer coincidence. If it hadn’t been for so many events happening, he wouldn’t have gone to clean up Joyce’s mess. Forgetting her wallet was such a clumsy excuse.

Did she really think Bryan Hawkins knew nothing? Before, he had just thought she was a young girl with wild thoughts and didn’t take it seriously. Now that the young girl had grown up and become more cunning, he felt it necessary to show her the truth.

The truth was that he had no interest in her, not at all.

Especially since she was his grandfather’s best friend’s granddaughter, he did not want to give her any hope or cause her to misunderstand, which might in turn damage the relationship between the two families. He had never hinted anything to Joyce, so he did not think he was in the wrong.

Joyce did not expect to hear Bryan Hawkins say this. Her mood, which had been very happy, suddenly turned extremely dejected. She thought she would have a good night’s sleep tonight, but now, after being hit by Bryan Hawkins’s words, she found it hard to sleep.
