CAUGHT“Don't tell me that you haven't been listening to me talk this whole time”, she playfully admonished him.In reality, she had been patiently waiting for him to take himself off of mute.“How did you get my cell phone number?Why are you calling me?” He asked.The car speedometer steadily inched forward as concern for Liam filled Brian. He wanted to ask about Liam, but he didn't wanna risk exposing him if he hadn't been caught.“I already told you that I had your number, remember?”She reminded him smugly. “Speaking of that, did you know some guys tried to jump me at Raymond's Pub because of that?” He snapped.“But did I lie? Look, we have each other's numbers”, she said in a singsong voice.Brian realized it was pointless to argue with her, so he switched subjects.“So why did you call me?” He asked.“Security noticed the guy sneaking around my room.I recognized him from Raymond's Pub.I thought you might know him, but it sounds like you're busy. No big deal”, she said.“Who is it?

PRETENCEWhat was it?It's fine, she said, rolling her eyes.It turned out that being late had saved Brian from an argument.She had gotten so angry because he hadn't returned as she was ready to hit him.Though she calmed down by morning, she no longer felt the need to talk too much.A good night's sleep had put the problem into perspective.She realized she didn't need to discuss it, she only needed a little more time to solve it.Besides, Brian wouldn't know enough about what had happened that day to be of any help to her.“No, tell me, please”, said Brian.“OK”, she said reluctantly.“There were two things, actually.Firstly, Catherine told me she was going to be away for awhile and not to worry about it”.“OK”, said Brian carefully.Not sure what the problem was.“Surely it's normal to say that to your friend?I definitely say that to my friends.But she also told me that I should be nicer to you”, she continued, ignoring his reply.“Why do you think she would say that to me?”Brian was su

SECRETThe one thing he thought he had buried had come back to the surface again, and the man from SAKA TOSH Tech was chatting to him about it politely, as if it were nothing more serious than a splinter in his thumb.He had to play very carefully if he was going to turn this situation aroundUnfortunately, panic set in first.He got out of his seat and walked toward Brian.As he approached, he fell to his knees.“You can't tell anyone about this”, He begged, his hands. “brian.If you want Northern Lights International to work with your corporation, just tell me what I need to do”.He looked as if he was about to cry.He never before met anyone with such a thorough knowledge of his past.He was sure that the man might even know about his secret bank account that he used to launder money.He desperately hoped that the strange man sitting in his office might show him some mercy. “All you have to do is say something very easy”, said Brian. “When miss Madison comes in to meet with you, hand

FAKE OWNEREven Samantha had to agree with them. “It's no laughing matter”, she said. “If my job doesn't kill me first, my mother certainly will with her obsession about big houses will”.“Maybe we need to move out sooner than we planned”.Brian didn't answer.Brenda had become much Bossier recently.If Samantha was thinking about moving out, she couldn't be happier.Recently, she had been thinking about living in the Harmony Square neighborhood.she found a small house she liked, but someone had beat me to it.She had been bitterly disappointed.Knowing that she was both upset and too busy to house hunt while she was working, Brian made a decision.“Why don't I find us a place to live?” He suggested.He was more than ready for them to move out. Every night when he came home, Brenda would make some sort of comment about it. It was Beginning to get him down.He wasn't sure if his nerves could take it much longer.Samantha.Putting down her clothes and looking at him in surprise. “Brian It's such

THE TEAHowever, Brain raised his hand to indicate to his men to stand down, and they obediently retreated. “Mr. Maxwell” ,Duke said politely. “Please forgive me.I'm not from a high class family myself so my men and I don't follow some of their rules”.He stood up and stepped to the sideboard where a silver tea service was set.Report a cop and offered it to Brian.The bodyguards were stunned. “This man kidnapped the boss's son”, one thought. Who shares the boss pouring tea for him like this is a social visit and thought it was weird that the boss chose to meet here where we have to be careful about violence.“And now I'm even more confused.What's going on?”Brian accepted the cup and lifted it to his lips.He inhaled deeply before taking a small step.“Thank you”, he said. “This is good tea”.he snorted to himself as he drank his own tea.To most people who tease tea, he thought. “What could this ignorant man know about fine tea?”Brian lifted the cup again and inhaled the aroma once more
