The ambush was now happening. A few people wearing black clothes were surrounding Brandon. Everyone was getting ready to give Brandon a fatal blow. At a time like this, Brandon tried to stay calm. He stared one by one at the criminals surrounding him. Thinking cleverly and not recklessly.Brandon pulled the corners of his mouth up, an idea now occurring to him. The light from some cars shining towards them made it clear that Brandon was smirking.One of the criminals who saw him said, "Why are you smiling? Are you underestimating us?" Your gaze is so sharp, as if you just want to pounce on your prey.Brandon shook his head. "I'm not underestimating you, it's just..." Brandon looked at one of the fat men who had earlier said he wanted to incapacitate him with one punch. "Didn't you say you wanted to incapacitate me with one punch? So why do you still want to attack me all together? Did you change your mind and get scared?" Brandon mocked.The fat man clenched his fists, not accepting
Still covered in blood, Brandon kept walking away. "I'm sure I just blocked that knife with my hand, even drew blood." Brandon stopped, staring perplexed at his blood-soaked hand. "But why don't I feel anything?" he asked, confused.In his bewilderment, Brandon suddenly squinted his eyes as a car's headlights hit his face. A man had just gotten out of the car and was walking towards Brandon.The man's expression was shocked, "Mr. Brandon! What happened to you?" His hand grabbed Brandon's blood-covered hand. "Come with me, Mr. Brandon, my clinic happens to be near here," he invited.Brandon shook his head in disagreement, "No need, Mr. Jose, I'm fine."But unfortunately, the man called Jose shook his head, pulling Brandon's body and taking him into the car. "This can't be left alone, your hand could get infected." Jose immediately opened the door for Brandon, asking him to get into his car right away.With no choice, Brandon reluctantly got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. J
In the same room, Jose Smith stared intently at Brandon. The young doctor's curiosity caused him to not blink and not look away from Brandon's face. Brandon appeared deep in thought, trying to remember who might hold a grudge against him. For quite a while, Brandon remained silent in turmoil, trying to think and guess who that person could be. Finally, he shook his head and said, "No! I don't suspect anyone."Jose was astonished. In Brandon's position, how could the man not know who might hold a grudge against him? Jose was even certain that Brandon could not possibly have only one enemy, considering Brandon was an expert.A heavy sigh escaped from Jose's mouth. He was very disappointed with the answer Brandon gave. "Mr. Brandon, how is it possible you don't suspect anyone?" he said, looking rather annoyed at Brandon. "You are a medical expert and possibly other kinds of expert as well. You must have many enemies."Jose tried to say everything he was thinking, perhaps that way Brando
At 8:00 am sharp, Brandon jolted awake. His heart was pounding when he saw the clock on the nightstand. "Damn! I overslept." Brandon hurriedly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, washing his face while occasionally grumbling."How could Mom not have woken me up? Even on such an important day." Brandon stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. Soap suds were still stuck until he finally wiped them off with a towel and placed the towel on the sink."Today I have a date with Miss Angelica for the first time, that woman is surely going to be really mad."Brandon imagined what Angelica's face would look like when she was angry. That woman was clearly very different from Richard, so she probably wouldn't tolerate his tardiness."Where are you going, Brandon?" Brandon's mom asked as soon as she saw Brandon coming out of the room.Brandon ignored his mother's question, instead choosing to ask her back. "Why didn't you wake Brandon up? It's not like you to let Brandon oversle
Frustrated with Angelica's childish attitude, Brandon hurried away from Richard's residence. He wasn't sure how to handle a woman like Angelica in the future, but he was definitely annoyed by her behavior.If Angelica knew the reason for his lateness, she would probably understand, or maybe she wouldn't care at all.Brandon cursed angrily, "Damn! Her attitude is worse than a child's."Brandon's footsteps halted when a car entered the driveway of the luxurious house, stopping not far from where he stood. Then, someone in a suit got out of the car. His smile widened perfectly when he saw Brandon standing before him.It was Richard, a successful man still considered young for his age. Richard walked closer, surprised to meet Brandon, although they would be seeing each other often since Brandon had started treating Angelica until she recovered.Despite his stern demeanor, Richard was friendly in front of someone important to his family. "Good morning, Mr. Brandon," he greeted. "You look u
In the dining room, Richard remained friendly towards Brandon. "Please help yourself to whatever you like, Mr. Brandon," he said while putting food on his own plate.Brandon nodded, doing as Richard did.As they were about to start their breakfast together, the sound of footsteps made them both turn. Angelica stood not far away, glaring at Brandon.Brandon narrowed his eyes when he saw the expression Angelica directed at him. He knew Angelica was angry, and this time her anger was very apparent.Brandon sighed, trying to act normal despite Angelica's intimidating stare.Richard quickly asked Angelica to join them. "Sit down, Angelica, I need to talk to you."Though annoyed, Angelica chose to sit as Richard wanted. "What is it?" she asked with an unfriendly face."We should have breakfast first."Angelica rolled her eyes lazily. She was really upset this morning. Especially if she had to have breakfast with someone who had just ruined her day. "I've already had breakfast, Ri-" Angelica
Brandon was currently in a cafe, enjoying his favorite white coffee. It had been quite a while since he had enjoyed a cup of white coffee and spent time alone in peace.Despite having many problems, spending time like this was something someone like Brandon hoped for.Occasionally, he sipped his coffee while looking outside through the window. For a moment, he wanted to forget all the problems that had entered his life, especially his love troubles with Ariana.Brandon took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Can I enjoy a moment like this for a while? It feels like my heart is a little calmer."Brandon sipped his drink again, occasionally smelling the rich aroma of the white coffee.As Brandon was enjoying his drink without thinking about anything, his eyes narrowed when he saw a woman he knew so well. There, he saw Ariana - his ex-fiancée - being intimate with someone.How could they be so close? The man was even touching Ariana's lips and caressing her cheek affectionately.B
Brandon wasn't fazed by Xavier's anger. Calmly, he released Xavier's grip from the collar of his shirt. "I don't want to cause any trouble, so please take your hands off my collar." Brandon held onto Xavier's hand until his grip loosened. Xavier was quite surprised by Brandon's ability. He was sure he had exerted his strength in gripping Brandon tightly, yet Brandon released himself with ease.Still in disbelief, Xavier challenged Brandon. "You think belittling Ariana isn't causing trouble? You've created a problem."Brandon quirked the corner of his mouth upwards and said, "Wasn't I just stating facts? If she's an expensive woman, she probably would..."Slap!Before Brandon could finish speaking, a slap landed squarely on his face. The one who did it was none other than Ariana.Ariana's hand trembled, containing the sting - the slap she gave Brandon was quite hard, but somehow she felt unsatisfied, especially when she saw the expression on Brandon's face. "You went too far, Brandon!
