Although Alexander had rejected Brittany so many times, at least there were no other women by his side. That was why he could bear her temper. Brittany felt that he loved her without knowing it. It was apparent but unknown. She patiently waited until Alexander found out that he liked her, but if there were an affair, she would have a strong sense of crisis. "That's true. That’s why I was shocked when I heard about it. You never mentioned he was engaged or anything!" Nodding, Arianna agreed with Brittany’s statement."C’mon, continue the story!" Brittany urged. Her heart was burning with anxiety."Anyway, it was Mr. Lodge's birthday, so my uncle went along with his son. After he came back, he mentioned something like that, and I happened to hear it," unable to hold back her fiery look, Arianna explained the matter. Brittany waited for a while, and when she saw that Arianna had no intention of continuing, she blinked, "That’s it?" "Yep! That’s all!" Spreading he
It was not feasible to ask Alexander, but there were still detours in the tactics involved.Brandon was too busy recently. He put his legs on the desk while holding his phone to flirt with his crush when Brittany came rushing in. Brandon almost could not react fast enough and exposed his surprised expression. He quickly snapped out of it and looked at Brittany, "Wow, what a surprise! You rarely come here!”As he said that, he glanced sideways and continued with sarcasm, "You brought food too? Don’t tell me you purposely came to bring me food."Brittany laughed and walked straight to him. She put the cake and coffee on his table and said, "You’re right. I bought it for you on purpose. Happy now?""Really?" Immediately putting down his legs, Brandon sat up straight and leaned forward, "Yo, it's my favorite red velvet and caramel macchiato! It seems like you did buy this for me. How nice of you!” He held the cake carefully with both hands, with a look of gratitude but did not intend
"It's delicious! Did you buy it from Tanner's Bakery? Their cakes are unbelievable! No one else could compare! Hey, I’m serious! I wouldn’t lie to you. Do you want to take a bite?" He dug out a piece with a spoon and held it near her mouth.Brittany avoided it with a look of disgust. Brandon shook his head and asked, "How could you reject this?!" He continued to eat, and seeing that the cake was half eaten, she asked calmly, "Brandon, have you met with Alex recently?""No!" He buried himself in the cake and occasionally freed his mouth to drink the macchiato. "There haven't been any new projects to work with lately. He’s busy, and I’m busy as well. You know how he is. It’s difficult to even call him out for a drink. You see him more than I do, anyways. What’s up?After saying that, he felt something was wrong and suddenly raised his head, "What do you want to say?" "It's nothing. I just wanted you to help me find something out." She smiled with a harmless and
“That's why I want you to ask!" Brittany circled the table, grabbed his arm, and gently rocked it, "It's not a big deal. You just need to check the details. Can’t you help me on this small thing?”After all, it was not a big deal, but where did she hear that nonsense? Brandon frowned and looked at her disgusted, "How could you even believe this? I remember you were quite confident in yourself! Have you ever seen another woman with Alex? I thought you’d already chased away all the ladies that tried to get near him. Besides, with how he acts, I would probably believe he was gay if you said so. By the way, do you think he’s engaged to another man?” He remarked in all seriousness, convinced that his viewpoint was the most sensible.Brittany clenched her tiny fist and thumped him fiercely, "Bullsh*t! You’re probably gayer than he is! Just help me ask! Why are you asking so many questions?”Being hammered by the fist, Brandon screamed, “Alright, I’ll ask! It’s true when they say t
Initially, Brandon thought it would be easy to make an appointment with Alexander, but he did not expect to be rejected. He could not believe it! Rejected?"I know you're busy, so you could at least squeeze some time for me! Let's talk about it. From noon to evening, any time. I can accommodate whenever!" Brandon said very generously. "I don't have time," Alexander was not joking. He was flipping through his schedule and replying to Brandon at the same time."That's impossible! How about tomorrow at noon?" He did not believe that Alexander was fully packed the whole day."I have a meeting with Aurora that was booked half a month ago!"Brandon replied, "How about tomorrow night?""I have an appointment with Mr. Hendricks at Pavillion, so I’m not free either.”"The day after tomorrow?""Monthly inspection of my branch office.""Two days after tomorrow?" Brandon continued without giving up.After closing the schedule, Alexander persuaded him, "Just give up. My schedule is ful
Alexander was not making excuses, as he was genuinely busy. After all, it was the end of the year. There were the year-end financial statements, reports, and summaries from various branches, the human resources management, and others. Alexander had too many things to handle.Of course, this was not the only reason he was so busy. He could do these things slowly, but he wanted to finish as soon as possible so he could spend time with his wife. He always did work step-by-step in the past, and it did not matter, even if he needed to work until New Year’s Eve.However, things were different now. Now, Alexander had someone which he wanted to accompany. He wanted to give more of his time to her.Alexander was busy the whole afternoon. When he checked the time after the last meeting, he realized that he had worked overtime. Alexander yearned to go home. He walked to his office and even signed the various documents handed over by his assistant along the way.When he pushed the office door
Brandon was persistent, and Alexander could roughly guess his intention, so he did not say anything. He looked at Edward, “Drive!”Brandon realized what he meant when the car started, so he quickly closed the door. It was not easy to get some time with Alexander. Brandon could no longer care about anything else and decisively left his car at the underground parking lot.After all, this was a rare opportunity. Brandon needed to ponder carefully and arrange his words so his questions were not too abrupt. As he thought of how to form his sentences, he heard Alexander ask him instead, “Did Brittany put you up to this?”Brandon stared at Alexander in astonishment with a stiff face. ‘Dude, you can read my mind!’“I can’t read your mind. You have it written clearly on your face!” Alexander glanced at him and said calmly.‘Well, if Alex can’t read my mind, how come he knew what I was thinking?!’Alexander continued, “I know what you’re thinking because I know why you’re here today.” His
“You don’t know her,” Alexander said.Brandon almost cursed at him. ‘What the h*ck! Someone I don’t know?! It’s akin to him not answering.’But then again, if she was someone Brandon did not know, then she was likely not someone who was from a wealthy or famous family. He might not know all the eligible bachelors, but he knew all eligible ladies of their circle.Brandon was not bragging but could name all the ladies and mention their characteristics, who was beautiful, who was bad-tempered, or who had outstanding talent.Alexander said that Brandon did not know her. Did he mean that she was not one of these ladies? What background did she have then? Is she a peasant? No way! The Russells were an influential and wealthy family. How could they allow him to marry a peasant?“Even if I don’t know her, she must still have a name, right? Also, will your family allow you to marry a peasant? Don’t tell me you fell in love with Cinderella. Please wake up! The Cinderella story is a mere fai
