However, because Harold's family background and corporate wealth were the largest among the corporations here, so Brandon's position was also the highest among the people here. Therefore, most people present in this room must behave based on Brandon's attitude.

In the luxurious room that should have been filled with laughter and everyone's voices, now under Brandon's influence, no one dared to say anything. Even Henry, always confident in his position, had to give in.

However, people give in to Brandon just not only because he was the son of the oil king Harold, but also because of his smart mind in terms of business. The story that when Brandon was fourteen years old, he saved a large corporation by glancing at the money statistics has been widely circulated. Even Brandon's hater, Henry, had heard about this story, which made him even more jealous of Brandon.

“Sera, how much longer do we have to wait?” Anna looked at the clock on her phone screen, she had been waiting in this room

    Between the noisy space and dulcet sounds of music songs in this room, two couples of eyes faced. Brandon lowered his eyes to Anna and wasn't blinking.Why does she come here?For a while, Brandon could not think of anything. His brain seemed to stop.On the opposite side, Anna absolutely can not believe her eyes. Although there was a lack of light in Brandon's seat, she still clearly saw his face.Why does he come here?Two same questions are given, but nobody can answer them.Without thinking, Anna constantly blinked her eyes at Brandon. In her mind, she really hopes he can understand the sign. Anna did not want to lose the money, her mother was still in a hospital. When Brandon saw this girl's actions, he sighed.

    "First, it's a high-paying job but you just need to work for several hours."Anna loves this info and it's the main reason she chose this job."Second, almost working time is at night." Sera stopped for a while, "Do you agree?"Anna thought for a moment and slowly nodded. Her parents and younger brother always take early rest so she can do it."And the third? Does the third condition exist?" Anna asked Sera after she did not hear anything more from Sera."You may sacrifice some of your rights." Sera sighed, then said slowly."Such as?" Anna looked at Sera and waited for the next sentence."Such as you can be touched by others in some embarrassing locations. Like your waist, your shoulder, your hands, and your lips sometimes."

    "I don't want Vivia to think I'm a money-hungry." Anna whispered, her voice exuding a rare loneliness. Brandon had never seen this look on her face before. Currently, she looks extremely docile, and gentle, different from the fierce look he usually sees.“I don't want her to look at me differently… like everyone else.” Anna spoke softly, Brandon seemed to see her crying in front of him.Brandon was silent, then he said nothing more. Anna was like him, both of them were like two stone statues, completely motionless.After a moment of silence, Brandon seemed to remember something. He frowned and lifted Anna's chin so she could look him in the eye."Does Sera know you're sixteen?" Brandon's eyes looked dark as he said this.Anna heard his question, she shook her head and spoke softly. “No, I lied that I was eighteen years old.”"Does she believe it?" Anna could see the anger in his voice. The force Brandon put on the finger that was gripping her chin made Anna feel a little pain.“She d

    “No, the kiss between the two of them is completely normal.” Brandon leaned down, biting Anna's earlobe.'Oh, this is so soft!' Brandon's eyes grew deep, fire burning deep in his eyes.“If you have never seen this scene, then why do you dare to come here? You are too brave!” Brandon snorted coldly, mocking Anna.Anna's cheeks became hotter than ever. She whispered."I thought…"When Anna and Brandon were still talking to each other, Larry and Sera were still passionately kissing, surrounded by fiery glances at Larry."Didn't expect Director Larry to be so good!" Sarina laughed. Beside her was Lily, the girl who had led Anna to Sera in the luxury hotel.Sarina put her arm around Lily's neck, Sarina's hand was as pervert as Larry's. Sometimes Sarina even licked Lily's lips, her eyes full of passion. It seems like Sarina hasn't been this comfortable for a long time. Lily not only ignored Sarina but also responded to Sarina enthusiastically.Although the issue of Sarina liking girls has n

    Anna gasped, her angry gaze fixed on Brandon. Even though she had heard his explanation, she still couldn't fully believe it."I almost slapped you!" Although still frustrated, Anna calmly spoke. "Why? What's the reason you don't want Henry to suspect? Tell me and I'll decide whether to forgive you or not!"At this point, Anna felt extremely frustrated. Her first and most important kiss was stolen by Brandon when Anna was Bunny. After losing her first kiss, Anna comforted herself and thought a second kiss would be for her future husband. But in the end, her future kiss got lost in his lips again!Anna frowned, was he her destiny?'How is that possible?' Thinking of this Anna immediately shook her head, this couldn't be.Brandon thought for a moment and said, “There is some friction between me and Henry. You can say he and I are rivals!"“Or the enemy. This is not too different!” Brandon shrugged, looking disinterested.Hearing this, Anna asked again.“If there is a conflict between yo

    Undoubtedly, one of the talents used by the Roadlamp family, no matter what, Henry always thinks carefully.Besides Henry, only Sera watched Anna's departed figure.It looked like Sera wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to stay silent.'Hope you're safe. I can only pray for you!” Sera said quietly.If Anna pleased Larry at first, then Anna would not be noticed by Brandon. That way, after this small party ended, Sera could completely help Anna leave smoothly. But…Thinking of this, Sera sighed again, the wine in her mouth was no longer so good.“Hehe, baby, you are being careless! Come here and play with me!" Drunk Larry stroked Sera's chin, then kissed her once more. The strong smell of alcohol from his rotten mouth was nauseating but Sera was able to maintain her beautiful smile without even frowning."Yeah, I'm here, Mr. Larry!" Sera flashed a perfect smile like every other time with Larry, then hugged his waist. Looking at her weak and soft figure, Larry laughed hah

She leaned closer to Anna, asking questions.‘Didn’t she say she was going to Vivia’s house? Why would Vivia ask that? Could it be that Anna didn’t come to Vivia’s house last night?’ Brandon, as usual, was still asleep on the table. But as soon

    Brandon summarized the story he encountered today for Anna. But Anna assessed, compared to when talking with Ms. Bunny, Brandon seems to use less emotion in her sentences.‘As expected of men, they only like attractive people.’ The bunny suit that Anna wore while serving in the bar was quite sexy, and Brandon liked Ms. Bunny like that, so Anna guessed Brandon was quite fond of sexy girls.“Huh.” Brandon didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Anna, completely quieting her down. Okay, he’s a patient. Give him a moment, Anna told herself.“So, what do you want?” In the middle of a space with the only sound coming from the TV, the content Brandon suddenly said startled Anna.“What?” Anna still did not quite understand what Brandon meant. She felt that she never seemed to fully understand the sentences Brandon said.“I ask you again, what do you want?” Brandon repeated, his expression still as calm as ever.“Sorry, but I still don’t quite understand what you’re saying?” To put it bluntly,

    In the kitchen, the heat radiated, Anna quickly stirred the pot of meat porridge, then added a little seasoning, and finally added little chopped scallions into the pot.It’s one o’clock in the morning, and Anna has texted her parents, informing them she will stay at Vivia’s house for the night. Vivia has been to her house a few times, so Anna’s parents know their daughter has a new best friend at school, and they welcome Vivia.Later, Anna also sent Vivia a message, instructing Vivia that, if Anna’s parents call, just say she is with Vivia.Clack!Anna put the lid on the pot after turning off the stove. The porridge is cooked. As long as Brandon wakes up, he can eat porridge.Recalling Brandon’s expression tonight, Anna noticed that he had two faces when he was with everyone.With close people, Brandon creates a feeling of friendliness and warmth.

    “Hey, who cares about you? Bullshit!” Anna nodded after hearing the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she glared. For some reason, Brandon found Ann at that moment so cute.Brandon smiled, then the two walked silently to the house Brandon had described earlier.Although it was pitch black, under the gentle light of the street lamps, Anna could still glimpse the house with dark orange tiles, the four walls covered with moss, and the moss-like vines, constantly crawling to different positions. The house seemed to be quite old and must have existed here for a long time.Not far from the house was a large mulberry tree, vines winding around its trunk. Some foliage points up to the sky, and some fall back down, looking very lively. Sometimes there is wind, and the leaves sway like scared something.“It’s an old house, isn’t it?” Anna stood in the distance, squinting at the front. “It looks like the house was built in the twentieth century, around 1485 onwards, right?

    “The price is fourteen dollars and fifty-nine cents.” A quick voice said, “Here’s your change. Have a nice day. Thank you for visiting our store.”Anna saw off the last customer in the convenience store, then twisted the ‘close’ face of the open-close sign board hanging in front of the glass door. She let out a long breath after wiping the sweat off her forehead. Finished the shift today!Anna’s shift today didn’t end so late.

    After drinking a wake up soup, Brandon gradually regained consciousness. He rubbed his head, and tiredly lay on the bed, reminiscing about the whole day.Suddenly remembering the pink piece of paper that had been returned, Brandon jumped, opened his backpack, and took out a very wrinkled pink piece of paper.‘Maybe she have solved that problem?’ Brandon speculated.But before long, the entire detailed solution of the Olympic problem that gave Brandon a headache was written on the back of the piece of paper.‘Really?’ Brandon still couldn’t believe this fact.“Hmm…”Brandon mused, if that’s the case, then this means he has to fulfill his promise to do something for Anna.Really? Does he have to do something for her?The joy of meeting Ms. Bunny disappeared in an instant, Brandon thought for a long time. In his mind was the image of Anna with a malicious expression asking him to do shameful things.Although Brandon had anticipated this, the thought of doing something for Anna still made

    “You know, Peter is my closest friend. I felt very ashamed when I saw my mother hurt him.” Brandon sighed in a voice filled with sadness. “I know he won’t notice, but I hate my mother. She is authoritarian.”Brandon was in a bad mood that day, and finally, Anna understood why.“Is your friend getting better?” Anna asked.Brandon nodded. “He wasn’t badly hurt. His face and hands were hurt, but most of the debris went to the outside of his jacket.”“Maybe Peter will go to school soon.” Brandon thought, then added.Anna listened. She sympathized with Brandon and understood why he ignored the note she had sent him this morning.However, Anna must be very careful, in case Brandon knows Bunny is Anna, his classmate.Not that Anna couldn’t tell Brandon who she was, but she didn’t want too many people to know she worked here, especially as Brandon was also her classmate.Brandon and Anna had been here for two hours.
