As soon as Brian put one knee on the bed, about to climb up, I grabbed the pillow and put it in front of my chest, leaning against the wall, staring at him with wide eyes.
On the opposite side, the man in the sky-blue shirt was also staring at me with wide eyes. We both looked at each other for a long time.
“What's wrong with you?” He asked bewilderedly.
“I… I… I'm not ready.” I stammered out.
“Lady, I just want to hug you to sleep, I'm so tired, I can't do anything to you.” Brian raised his hand to rub a few times on his forehead and explained.
Then he lay down and patted his left arm lightly, gesturing to me. He really doesn't seem to have the strength to do that. His eyelids were half closed, waiting.
I took a deep breath, slowly crawling over, gently resting my head on his arm.
I've only seen this romantic scene in movies before, but now I've been able to practice. My heart began t
Leaving the barbecue restaurant, Brian took me to the sweet soup restaurant. When he stopped at a red light, he leaned over and kissed my hair lightly, and then frowned.“Your body is full of barbecue smell.”“But there are people who still like to smell it. You think you still smell mint, don't you? Your body now stinks of grilled pork, grilled beef, and grilled fish.” I enjoyed saying a long sentence, and not giving in to him.“We'll have to take a bath again, I should have asked you to eat boiled meat.”He shrugged and drove the car away when the traffic light just turned green.I smiled, looking at the busy traffic on the other side of the road.Happiness for me is simply moments like this, being at peace with him, no need for him to say sweet words, no need for sweet, hot kisses. As long as I'm next to him, knowing that his heartbeat is in sync with my own.The sweet soup shop that Brian chose
The car left the park and ran to the music education center. As far as I know, this place is also the property of Hana Corporation. I heard that Brian's grandfather loves to play musical instruments and that he can play many types of instruments from piano, and violin to saxophone. Although he built a solid career in the US, before that, he lived here for twenty years. That is also the reason he chose his hometown as the first place to expand his business, before the branches in Singapore or Thailand. “Hello, Mr. Brian.” The security guard bowed when Brian had just lowered the windshield. The large gate was quickly opened, and Brian slowly drove inside. Because there were no students or teachers here at this time, he didn't run to the parking lot but stopped right in front of the steps leading upstairs. Brian held my hand and walked up the steps. Just now, only the lampposts in the large courtyard were lit, but now the path was also illuminated with electric light. Previously,
Another day passed like every other day, I was working around the large villa alone. I miss Brian more and more every day. Sometimes, thinking about the kiss he gave me every morning, I feel the sweetness spreading in my mouth even though I don't eat candy. It's been almost a week since Richard confessed his feelings for me, so today, I decided to tell him my feelings so that he won't waste time on me anymore. Honestly, if Brian and I don't become a couple, I still can't accept Richard because my love for him has drifted to the end of the sky. Time did not erase my image in his heart, but it made me forget the first unrequited love in my life. If we had confessed, dated, picked up, and used to have sweet memories together, even if it was very few, I would not have forgotten so easily. After all, the memory is just the times when I stood looking at him from afar with admiring eyes. “I'm listening, Bella.” A warm male voice came from the other side of the phone. “Richard. I call
Finally, Hellen's birthday has arrived. I don't know if it's because Brian's work is really busy or because he deliberately acted, but he didn't come back until Mrs. Alina drove to Li Bai's restaurant. And the first thing he did after he got out of the car was lifted me up and kissed me passionately. “Stop, stop, that's enough. You should go take a bath.” I pushed him away, urging him. “My body stinks?” Brian frowned, showing displeasure. “Not. I'm afraid you'll be tired, it's not good to take a bath at night. Have you eaten yet?” “I still haven't eaten. Baby, look what I bought you.” After saying that, Brian gently put me down and took out two bags of mixed rice paper from the car. I laughed, said thank you, then took two bags of mixed rice paper and ran into the house, went straight to the kitchen, and heated the food to serve him. If I told him that this bag of mixed rice paper made me happier than when he gave me a diamond ring, he would probably think that I was pretendin
When the little party was about to end, I went upstairs and prepared Hellen's room as Mrs. Alina told me, then went back down to clean up. Hellen was drunk, so Mrs. Alina and Brian had to carry her to the bedroom. The ground floor quickly became quiet, only my sighs and the sound of dishes lightly touching each other. After I finished my work, I returned to my comfortable bed, covered myself with blankets, and closed my eyes. However, I only closed my eyes for a moment when the message tone sounded. Brian asked me to bring him a glass of warm water. I know it's an excuse, he can go down to the kitchen and get some water. Honestly, I don't want to see him right now because there is another person in the house, if we are careless, we will be discovered immediately. When he's near me, if he doesn't hug me, he will kiss me, if he doesn't kiss me, he will stroke my hair, if he doesn't stroke my hair, he will look at me and say sweet words. Therefore, if someone accidentally sees tho
Only a few days left until New Year's Eve. These days, the market is more crowded than usual and the streets are also busier. I like the atmosphere before the new year, it seems that this season of love also affects people's mood, everyone has a smile on their lips, very happy. And even if they collided with each other, they would laugh and ask questions, ignore it, but unlike usual, one would curse the other, scream, ask for compensation... Today is the last Sunday of the old year, so it took me almost an hour to walk out of the market with a basket full of food. Every day, it only takes me about half an hour. This year, just like two years ago, I will celebrate the new year alone because Mrs. Alina and Brian will fly to the US to celebrate the new year with his grandfather, Harold, and Harold's mother. The president of Hana Corporation has two sons, both of them died on a fateful flight nearly ten years ago. He tried to suppress the pain, alone to handle the business activitie
When the clock struck six o'clock in the evening, Brian took Mrs. Alina to the airport. Before leaving, she did not forget to give me a thick red envelope. Even though I am an adult, when I receive lucky money, I am as happy as a child. Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, I no longer feel sad because I know this spring I have him, I am not alone. For several hours I sat on the doorstep, looking out at the gate and waiting for him. And as soon as I heard him ring the bell, I immediately ran out, frantically putting the key in the lock. I thought I was the only one in a hurry, but this man was even more urgent, he stopped the car as soon as he drove into the gate and told me to lock the gate and get in the car. “What are you laughing at?” Brian narrowed his eyes and looked at me and asked. “The distance from the gate to the garage is very short, why did you tell me to get in the car?” “I like that.” This guy is too unruly, as long as it's what he likes, he'll do i
The year-end party started at six o'clock in the evening, then at half past seven, Brian's car arrived at the villa. When I opened the gate, I saw that there was another person in his car, that is the assistant who often turns into a driver when Brian has too much to drink. However, when I sent the assistant to the gate to catch a taxi, I went back in and saw that my beloved was not so drunk that he could not walk. He seems to be still very awake, his face is a bit red, one foot kicks the other, and his posture leans forward for a few seconds and then back again after a few seconds. He still had a loving smile on his face for me. “I thought you were drunk, so you asked your assistant to take you home.” “Not very drunk, but I am afraid that I will die soon and leave you. I am afraid that you will follow someone else.” I don't know if I should believe what the drunk said, but honestly, these words of his make me very happy. But talking about death is not good at all. I put my fin
Day after day, Brian and I gradually got used to the routine of work.He runs Sunshine Bank and a representative branch of Hana Group and also manages BB company.As for me, I can only assist him in running BB company.From my dream of becoming a fashion designer, I am now the owner of a fairly large fashion company.BB company's representative office and workshop have been moved to another place and expanded the scale of business and production.Today is the day orders placed according to Brian's designs are exported to foreign countries.Watching the container leave, my heart was filled with indescribable emotions when thinking about the past months. Satisfied. I am extremely satisfied.“Richard.” I spoke up in surprise and quickly walked to the car that had just stopped in front of the company gate.“Hello boss.” Richard smiled gently and handed me the huge box.“What is this?”“It's your husband's goods. Please give it to him for me. I was passing by here so I stopped by to give i
After a night of making love to the point of exhaustion, I woke up in Brian's arms. And he was still sleeping.Brian's face, his body, and the diamond ring on my ring finger told me I wasn't dreaming.Out of habit, I used my index finger to move from his forehead to the tip of his nose, then draw around the thin lip line.“Ah, why did you bite me?” I screamed when Brian suddenly bit my finger.“You've been bitten by me many times but you still don't stop this habit. How's that? Do you miss me?”This guy knew and still asked questions. I frowned and nodded. If I was stubborn and shook my head, he would have grabbed me and made love to me one more time. I should not provoke him.“I told you to stay at home and I would arrange to go home early, but why did you sulk, neglect the company, and drink alcohol?” Brian grabbed my cheek and stretched it. His voice sounded as if he was dissatisfied.“Why did you lie to me when you came back to America to meet your grandfather? Didn't your grandfa
More than a week has passed since Brian left. I still go to the company and urge the workers to work.I looked at the calendar and realized that payday was coming up. The company's salary fund is only enough to pay this month's salary. Next month, if there are no investors, I really don't know how to manage.Sitting alone in the office, my eyes couldn't focus on the numbers.Brian only sent me a text message when he just arrived in America, telling me that he was very busy in the near future and might not be able to call or text me, and then he completely disappeared.I don't believe he's so busy that he doesn't have time for me. His phone seemed to have been turned off, or he had changed his SIM card, so I couldn't contact him.As for Harold, since Brian left, I have not been able to contact him.Zalo is turned off, and Facebook is also turned off. I sent an email, but no one responded. I don't know how many more days I can try to be strong.I am very tired. My heart is hurt. My inte
Harry nodded and sat down. He constantly blamed me for taking his business card without giving him my phone number. I had to lie and say I forgot. “Ah, that day you said you would sign a contract with my company next week, but why did you stay silent?” I pretended to be innocent and timidly asked. “Brian didn't say anything to you? Didn't he ask you to text me?” Harry's eyes widened and looked at me. “No. I know nothing. Because he was so busy, I took the initiative to make an appointment with you to ask.” “Okay, I don't like to beat around the bush, let me tell you.” He picked up the glass of water and took a sip before continuing. I have to admit that his face is really thick. He didn't hesitate and said that as long as I became his lover, he would sign the contract immediately. And every month, he will give me two thousand dollars to spend. I have to admit that in his eyes, I'm valuable. Right. When Brian was still a rich young master, he was also fascinated by me. It seems
Another week has passed but I still don't see any contract from WE finance company sent to BB company.Could it be that that man named Harry scammed us? But for a week now, Brian has stopped following Harry.During the past week, he was always present in the office and then went to the factory.Although there were times when he went out, in the afternoon he would stop by the company to pick me up and take me home, cook with me, and have meals with me.“Brian.” I stared at him and called.“Uh. What's up?” He said while typing continuously on the computer keyboard.“Why don't I see the contract? Why is that guy silent? Do you need me to call to remind him?”“Don't call. Don't sign anymore.” Brian stopped typing and looked at me, his voice very serious.Brian and that guy think the job is a joke? He's been serving Harry all this time, losing his health, getting drunk, vomiting, and now he says he won't sign.These two men thought they were playing jump rope and soccer, right?“Why?” I as
In the following days, Brian only appeared at the company in the morning, and in the afternoon was the time he diligently searched for investors. Every night he was drunk when he came home. The deputy director of WE Financial Company must be a glutton and a drinker who keeps inviting my beloved to useless parties with the promise of doing business together. The partner's advance payment is thirty percent of the total contract, so we can only import some fabrics and accessories for pre-production. Within two months, Brian must find an investor, otherwise the contract will be late. I told Harold about it and he was willing to help, but both he and I knew that Brian would not accept it. That persistent man will never take money from Harold. “The fact that I asked Mr. David to buy most of the apartment so that Brian could return to his position as bank president sooner was discovered by him. He said that I was pretending to be a good person.” Harold's voice sounded like he was blamin
After another half month, Brian's designs have been completed. He handed the company over to me to manage and then flew to America to meet his partner. If those stores agree to cooperate, this will be the first step full of hope for his dream and mine. He lay next to me every night, unconsciously forming a habit, so when he left, my sleep was restless and not good. In the morning, I have to apply more eye shadow to cover my dark circles. The front of the train must be fresh for the rear of the train to be excited. I want to transmit positive energy and enthusiasm to my employees. As the dusk gradually fell, I stood up, arranged the office, and waited for the workers to leave, then I left. Brian and I are always the last two people to leave the company. “There's someone looking for you.” The security guard said as soon as I stepped out of the gate. I quickly recognized Richard's car. These past few months, he's been busy and I've been busy too, so we haven't had time to see each
Brian tormented me all night, but he was still able to wake up early and prepare to go out. As for me, I felt pain all over my body, so I kept lying on the bed, glaring at the man combing his hair in front of the mirror. Today, he will hire people to renovate the premises, and then import machinery. “Will you come back at noon?” I yawned and asked. “No. I came back late in the afternoon. I will buy food for you to eat. Don't cook anything today, just rest.” It seems that this guy still has some conscience. He knew he had exhausted me. I sat up, put my hand in the desk drawer, took out an expensive ring, then approached Brian and placed it in his hand. Since the day he gave it to me, I haven't worn it much, only occasionally taking it out to look at it. So, it's still very new. “Thank you, Bella.” He wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on top of my head. I suddenly heard his soft sigh. I raised my hand and patted his broad back. All will be fine. I think so. Not lon
“You... you should go take a shower.”I used both hands to place on Brian's chest, trying to push him away, but the result was that he remained as inert as a rock, as steady as bronze.His eyes were filled with lust, and dreaminess, and looked at me affectionately.“It's too late, Bella, this fire can't be put out anymore.” His hoarse voice rang softly in my ear.The stimulation from Brian nibbling on my earlobe made me almost numb.The two times we had sex in the past, he and I were entwined with each other when I had lost most of my consciousness, but now, the feelings were so real that I didn't know how to receive him.Maybe I need to drink more wine. As long as I drink more alcohol, I will be more courageous or I will be completely drunk without knowing anything.“I... I need to drink alcohol. Brian, let's drink some more wine.” I tremblingly suggested to him.Immediately, Brian left my ear and raised his head to look.I was excited, thinking he would agree, but I didn't expect hi
