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
Brandon looked at Brianna with slight confusion. He didn't expect Brianna to refuse to end their meeting, especially considering the restaurant was empty."Ahem!" Brandon cleared his throat, trying to revive the atmosphere that he found uncomfortable. "Miss Brianna," Brandon said in a gentle but firm tone, "I appreciate your desire to continue our conversation. However, as I said earlier, this restaurant is empty. We're the only ones left here. Are you sure you want to stay?"Brianna paused for a moment, her eyes scanning the now-empty restaurant. She seemed a bit surprised, as if just realizing their situation. However, instead of feeling uncomfortable, a small smile appeared on her lips. Brianna seemed unbothered by the fact that they were the only two left in the restaurant."I... I didn't realize," Brianna finally said, turning to Brandon and continuing, "But honestly, Mr. Brandon, I feel very comfortable talking with you. I don't want this to end just like that."Brianna's honest
Brianna was still in shock. She certainly never expected Brandon to be a medical expert. The man had never even mentioned his expertise.Brianna looked at Brandon seriously and asked, "Is this true, Mr. Brandon? Are you Miss Angelica's personal doctor?"Before Brandon could answer Brianna's question, Jose spoke up again. "Of course, Miss Brianna. Mr. Brandon is truly an expert. He even cured Miss Stella's father, who had been sick for a long time. No other doctor had succeeded in curing him." Jose recounted this with great enthusiasm.Jose's memory was still vivid. He was amazed and could never forget it.Meanwhile, Brandon smiled awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable with the praise given by Jose. He raised his hand, trying to stop the flow of enthusiastic words from Jose, who had been talking excitedly."Dr. Jose, please. You're exaggerating," said Brandon, who seemed to dislike it. "And it was probably just a miracle. I'm not what you think."But Jose shook his head firmly. "No, Mr. Bra
