This made the women, who were walking past them, extremely envious in their minds.

However, as the person involved, Winnie felt frustrated. She frowned and said while looking at the man, “But I’m already married, and you know that.”

This person was a colleague in Winnie’s company. He had pursued Winnie in the past, but Winnie rejected him.

“I know you’re married, but I don’t care. I won’t despise you. Please accept me,” the man looked at Winnie and said.

After hearing that, Alger wanted to rush forward to punch this man, but he held back in the end.

He was totally just a confident but ordinary man. What did he mean he wouldn’t despise her? Winnie wasn’t saying that she didn’t deserve this man when she said those words.

“Winnie, be with me. I’ll definitely make you happy. Your loser husband is completely…”

This man had no idea what happened at the banquet, so he still thought Alger was a loser, but before he finished talking, Winnie interrupted him.

“That’s enough. I’ve already made it very clear to you before this that I’m married, and it’s impossible for us to be together. I hope you won’t be like this again from now on.

“Besides, Alger isn’t a loser. I don’t want to hear anyone describe him like that again!”

Winnie frowned tight and said in dissatisfaction, “I’ve always spared your feelings in the past because we were colleagues, but if you keep pestering me in the future, I can’t guarantee if you can still stay here to work or not.”

The man didn’t seem to expect that Winnie would say something like this. His face immediately turned pale.

“Winnie, I… I understand. I won’t do this again from now on.”

Comparing this with work, he certainly cared more about his job. So, after hearing Winnie say that he might lose his job if he kept doing this, the man immediately declared his stance.

This scene made everyone who was looking at them sigh. They thought it was going to be like an idol drama series. Unexpectedly, this man was so cowardly.

The man wanted to find a crack on the ground and hide inside when he saw that the people around him were judging him silently. Before Winnie could say anything else, he left quickly with his roses.

Seeing this man leave, Winnie was finally relieved.

But when she turned around, she saw Alger standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

Winnie quickly glanced in the direction where that man left and said carefully as she walked towards Alger, “Alger, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Alger was in a very good mood right now. Seeing that Winnie didn’t only reject the man, but also protected him when that person ridiculed him, Alger was extremely delighted.

It looked like he was thinking too much just now. Winnie wasn’t the same as those two women.

“I was already here for quite a while. I saw that you were busy, so I didn’t disturb you,” Alger said with a smile.

After hearing that, Winnie felt a bit anxious, so she quickly said, “Did you see what happened just now?”

“Hm, I saw it.” Alger smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Winnie’s performance.

“In fact, it’s not what you think. I can explain it to you…”

Winnie looked panicked. She quickly went forward and grabbed Alger’s arm, in an attempt to explain.

She originally thought Alger would be enraged and would even reproach her after seeing something like this, but unexpectedly, things didn’t go this way.

Alger wasn’t angry at all. He even looked at Winnie with a smile and said, “I saw what happened just now I knew you wouldn’t let me down.

“Also, when that person ridiculed me just now, it was you who stepped up and protected me.”

Winnie froze. She didn’t seem to have thought that Alger would react like this. “Aren’t you angry that he was pursuing me?”

“I was, but didn’t you reject him? Besides, the fact that he went after you only proves that you’re charming. People can’t be more envious of me having you as my wife,” Alger said with a smile.

Winnie was finally relieved. She rolled her eyes at Alger and said while pretending to be angry, “You know how to play smart.”

“By the way, we’ve been married for so many years, but I haven’t bought you any gifts. Let’s go. I’ll give you a surprise today,” Alger suddenly looked at Winnie and said with a smile.

“Huh? Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?”

Winnie didn’t understand Alger’s actions, and she had no idea why Alger would suddenly bring her to a jewelry shop.

Looking at the luxurious jewelry shop in front of her, Winnie felt like she was a bit out of tune with the people here.

She frowned and said as she looked at Alger, “Why did you suddenly bring me here?”

“To buy you a gift, of course. Let go. Go inside and see if there is anything you like,” Alger said as he grabbed Winnie’s hand and walked in.

Winnie looked at Alger in shock. She quickly stopped him and said as she frowned, “The jewelry here looks very expensive. I don’t need any jewelry. We should go back.”

“How can we go back? I brought you here today to buy you a gift.” Alger shook his head and said firmly, “Besides, you’re already a General Manager now.

“Of course you also need some suitable jewelry to wear.”

Winnie frowned as she glanced inside the shop. She still felt a bit guilty, so she said as she pulled Alger back, “Even if you want to buy me a gift, we can go somewhere else. The stuff is really too expensive.”

“It’s not expensive. Since I brought you here, I can definitely afford it. Don’t worry about money. Go inside and have a look. I’ll buy whatever you like for you!” Alger hit his chest confidently and said with a smile.

Winnie was still a bit hesitant, but she was pulled into the jewelry shop by Alger.

After walking in, Winnie was much calmer than she was just now. After all, it wasn’t a big deal to come in and have a look. Even though she didn’t know why Alger would want to buy her jewelry, it should be fine if she chose a relatively cheaper one.

After all, Alger said that he could afford it.

When the two of them came in, they started walking around the shop. Winnie immediately wasn’t as guilty as she was at the beginning anymore.

“Could you take this necklace out for me to have a look?”

Winnie pointed at a four-leaf clover necklace on the counter and said while looking at the saleswoman.

The four-leaf clover necklace looked simple and had quite a beautiful design. Most importantly, Winnie noticed that the price was relatively cheaper. Alger should be able to afford it.

However, she didn’t get any reply after saying this.

Winnie looked at the saleswoman in front of her in confusion. But in response, the other party just rolled her eyes at Winnie and said with disdain, “Miss, do you want this?”

She saw with her eyes clearly that Winnie and Alger were hesitating about whether to come in outside the store. Besides, Winnie wasn’t wearing any brand-name products on her. She was certain that Winnie couldn’t afford it, so she didn’t want to waste her time..
