Brianna stared at Brandon with disbelief and slight annoyance. "What do you mean? You just glanced at the screen and dare to give such advice?" she snapped, glaring at the man who introduced himself as Brandon and a representative from Richard's company.Seeing Brianna's reaction, Brandon sighed. However, he understood her response, given that they weren't close friends, and it was a bit difficult to trust each other's words.Brandon nodded, realizing he needed to explain, "Miss Brianna, I understand this might sound presumptuous, but I have experience in this field. The pattern I see in the graph indicates that—""Experience?" Brianna interrupted, her voice rising. "I've been in this field for years. You think you can read the situation better than me just by taking a quick look?" Brianna looked at Brandon cynically, thinking this man was truly audacious to assume she had no experience.Brandon took a deep breath, trying to remain calm despite Brianna's rejection. Not wanting to give
At Company Group, Richard was seen busy working on documents on his desk. He had a lot of work at the moment. He was so busy that he couldn't even go to Brianna's company and had to send Brandon as his representative."I hope Brianna has received the files," said Richard, who in his busyness certainly couldn't forget about the documents that Brandon had taken to give to Brianna.In the midst of his busy work, his cell phone, which he had placed on the desk, rang quite loudly. Richard glanced at the phone screen, and a wide smile spread across his face when he saw Brianna's name displayed there. Richard immediately stopped what he was doing and put the documents back down. He answered the call and held the phone to his left ear."Hello, Brianna?" Richard greeted cheerfully. His heart was racing, hoping Brianna was calling to invite him to lunch or just to chat. "Have you received the files?" Richard then asked.On the other end of the phone, Brianna nodded, "Yes, someone named Brandon
In the spacious office, Richard looked at Brandon with a mixture of surprise and... relief? Yes, for some reason, a hint of relief emerged in his heart when he heard Brandon refuse the deputy director position. Perhaps his conversation with Brianna on the phone a few minutes ago had also influenced Richard.Richard sighed, looking at the young man whose age was almost the same as his sister Angelica's. "Hmm, Mr. Brandon, are you sure about this decision?" Richard asked, trying to hide the pleased tone in his voice so Brandon wouldn't suspect anything.Brandon nodded firmly. "Yes, Mr. Richard. I've thought it through carefully," he replied with a slight smile, as if to indicate that his decision wasn't made under duress.Richard leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping the desk slowly. His gaze remained fixed on Brandon, almost as if interrogating him.Richard then nodded, "Well, if that's your decision, Mr. Brandon, I can't force you to accept my offer. Although it's certainly re
The misunderstanding made Brandon uncomfortable. Especially since Angelica already had a boyfriend and she was also Richard's sister.He sighed, shaking his head in frustration. "Mom, really, it's not what you think. We're not—"Unfortunately, Brandon's mother just smiled widely, ignoring Brandon's attempts to explain. "It's okay, Brandon, I'm even happy to see you two finally together. Moreover, Angelica..." Brandon's mother paused, looking at Angelica with a smile on her face, "Beautiful," she continued.Brandon sighed again. It seemed his mother was indeed stubborn. When Brandon wanted to explain again, it was too late because his mother had already hurried away, as if intentionally leaving them alone.Seeing his mother was no longer in her place, Brandon let out a long sigh. His face was no longer friendly after what had just happened.Feeling frustrated because his mother wouldn't listen, Brandon finally looked at Angelica, who was just silent while staring at Brandon.Seeing Bra
Angelica's question made Brandon fall silent. It seemed he had accidentally let something slip. Brandon quickly shook his head and said, "No, you misheard, Miss Angelica. I didn't say anything about that."Angelica furrowed her brow, certain that she hadn't misheard. She opened her mouth to protest, "But I'm sure you just said—"However, before Angelica could finish her sentence, Brandon quickly cut her off and changed the subject. "I'm sorry, Miss Angelica, but I think we're done discussing this. I have to go now. Please tell Miss Chaterina that I can't make it tonight." Brandon hurriedly left Angelica.Angelica was still shocked by Brandon's sudden change in attitude. She felt frustrated because Brandon was clearly avoiding the topic she had just brought up."You can't just dismiss me like that, Brandon! We're not done talking!" Angelica protested, running after Brandon and grabbing his arm.Brandon angrily shook off Angelica's grip, looking at her with displeasure. "Enough! Miss An
"Mr. Brandon, I've finally found you," Brianna greeted with a smile.All eyes turned to Brianna, who had just addressed Brandon. She wore an elegant red dress that flowed to her ankles, with long black hair cascading beautifully. Her lovely eyes were hidden behind dark sunglasses, adding to her beauty and mysterious allure.Brandon, who had been visibly annoyed by his old friends' taunts, was now surprised by Brianna's arrival. She stood before him, smiling and somewhat easing his irritation.Brandon quickly stood up, ignoring Frans and his friend who were still standing nearby. "Miss Brianna," Brandon said politely, bowing slightly. "I didn't expect you to arrive so soon," he added.Brianna smiled again, pleased that Brandon was willing to meet her, considering that in their last encounter, she had ignored Brandon and even asked him to leave.Still smiling, Brianna replied, "I didn't want to keep you waiting too long, Mr. Brandon. Besides, we have important matters to discuss."Frans
Brandon's expression of genuine shock was clearly visible when he heard the woman's words. Was he hearing this correctly?"Oh, damn! I can't believe it, this woman is absolutely crazy!" Brandon exclaimed, staring at Brianna and shaking his head. In all his life, he had never met a woman as insane and wild as Brianna."Ha ha ha ha!"Hearing that, Brianna burst into laughter again. She found Brandon really funny and different.If she was being honest, there were hundreds of men trying to get close to her right now. But seeing this young man's reaction to what she had just said, Brianna couldn't help but laugh."You're so funny, Mr. Brandon!" Brianna was still laughing, thoroughly entertained by Brandon's expressions.Brandon raised one eyebrow, looking at Brianna with a serious gaze. He sighed. "If you brought me here just to laugh at me, then I'll just leave," Brandon said before standing up, fully intending to leave.Clearly, this shocked Brianna. Brandon couldn't take a joke at all.
Brianna remained in the same position, staring at Brandon with a serious gaze. She didn't even acknowledge Brandon's words.Brandon sighed, looking annoyed at Brianna who seemed to be toying with him. "Please don't joke around too much, Miss Brianna," Brandon said again. "Don't you realize some guests are staring at us?" Brandon then tried to help Brianna back to her seat, glancing at the people now watching them.Although there weren't many patrons in the restaurant, Brandon didn't like being the center of attention, especially now that some guests were looking at Brandon and Brianna alternately, whispering things Brandon could easily guess."This is something I didn't expect," Brandon finally muttered.Seeing Brandon's expression, Brianna smiled and said, "I'm not joking, Mr. Brandon. For a long time... I've wanted to marry someone who impresses me for the first time. And that someone is you." Brianna paused, looking at Brandon, who was indeed different from others. Satisfied, she c
