The next morning, Brandon, who was sound asleep, suddenly jolted awake hearing a knock on his bedroom door. He blinked, trying to gather his senses. His head felt heavy and dizzy from the short sleep last night."Who's disturbing my sleep this early? Don't they know I'm sleep-deprived?"Brandon glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It still showed 6:00 AM. Realizing this, Brandon sighed. He wondered if there would ever be a day when he could sleep in."This is really annoying," Brandon grumbled. Although reluctant, he forced himself to get up and trudged towards the door. His head felt a bit dizzy, but he forced himself to open the door to find out who was waking him up so early."Yeah, just a second," Brandon said as the door was knocked again. "Really impatient," he added.Irritated, Brandon pressed the door handle. He frowned slightly when he saw his mother behind the door.Brandon's mother immediately smiled when she saw her son, who still looked handsome despite just waking up.
Brandon froze, his eyes widening in shock at his mother's statement. Wanting to hear more clearly, Brandon decided to ask a question. However, before he could actually voice his query, he suddenly heard his mother laugh."Hahahaha, Brandon," said his mother, still chuckling. "Mom was just kidding. You should have seen the expression on your face."Brandon frowned, confusion clearly visible on his face. He opened his mouth to ask further, but his mother quickly cut him off."Forget about it," his mother said, waving her hand dismissively. "Now, hurry up and go out. Miss Angelica is waiting. It's not polite to keep a guest waiting too long."Brandon's mother hurried out of the room, shaking her head as if she had just told a harmless joke. Brandon could only remain silent, still trying to process what had just happened.His thoughts were in turmoil. How could his mother joke about something so important? The expression of sadness and guilt he had seen on her face earlier seemed too real
Kevin had just arrived at Richard's house, intending to pick up Angelica, who was reportedly at the back of the mansion. However, the scene that greeted him was truly shocking. On the house terrace, he saw Brandon and Angelica in a very intimate position - Brandon was on top of Angelica.Instantly, anger and jealousy filled Kevin's chest. Without thinking, he rushed towards them."What are you doing?" Kevin shouted, his voice full of anger and disbelief at the sight.Without waiting for an answer, Kevin immediately pulled Brandon away from Angelica. His eyes glared sharply at Brandon."Are you taking advantage of the situation?" Kevin accused, his voice trembling with emotion.Brandon, still shocked by the situation, tried to explain. "Doctor Kevin, this isn't what you think. We fell accidentally," Brandon said while freeing his arm from Kevin's grip.Angelica also got up, quite surprised by Kevin's sudden presence. She nodded, confirming what Brandon had said. "Yes, Mr. Brandon is ri
Brandon didn't immediately start the car. Instead, the man looked at Angelica and Chaterina alternately through the small mirror inside the car. His gaze was full of desire for clarity from one of the women currently sitting in the passenger seat.Realizing Brandon's gaze made Angelica sigh. She was indeed a bit wrong for not telling Brandon clearly about this. However, didn't she not need to ask Brandon's permission just to invite Chaterina to come with them?Unable to bear Brandon's gaze full of desire for clarity, Angelica quickly said, "Just drive first, Mr. Brandon, I'll explain later."Brandon sighed, and reluctantly he started the car engine and began to drive the car as instructed by Angelica.Seeing Brandon's reaction made Chaterina only able to smile, she then turned to Angelica who nodded at her.Throughout the journey, Angelica and Chaterina seemed very close in conversation. Even Brandon, who was driving the car, felt like a driver, neither of them invited him into that s
Quite surprised to see someone in front of him, Brandon tried to smile and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, Miss Brianna."Brianna nodded, "Yes, as I said, Mr. Brandon, we are indeed meant to be."Alright, I will continue the story:Brandon smiled in response to Brianna's words, although he felt a little awkward inside. He didn't expect to meet that woman here."Did you come alone, Miss Brianna?" Brandon finally asked, trying to be friendly.Brianna shook her head slowly. "No, I came with some business associates. They're looking at auction items inside. But I'm more interested in looking at the charity booths out here." Brianna glanced towards Angelica and Chaterina who had already walked away. "It seems you came with them?"Brandon looked in the direction Brianna pointed, then nodded, "Ah, yes," Brandon replied. "I'm escorting Miss Angelica and her friend.""I see," Brianna nodded. Her eyes looked at Brandon meaningfully. For some reason, hearing Brandon's words made Brianna
"How about we go over there, Mr. Brandon?"Brandon immediately turned when Brianna pointed to one of the rather scary-looking stalls. Just by looking at its appearance, Brandon could tell that it was a fortune teller's booth.A frown was clearly visible on Brandon's face as he turned back to Brianna and said, "Do you still believe in fortune-telling? Isn't this the modern era?"Brandon was certainly quite surprised by Brianna's request. She was a career woman and very successful, but how could Brianna invite him to a fortune teller's booth?Brianna didn't answer the question Brandon had just asked. Of course, she knew that Brandon must be wondering about this. But she didn't want to explain it in detail. She quickly grabbed Brandon's hand while saying, "There's no harm in trying, Mr. Brandon. Whether we believe the fortune teller or not is a matter for later."Brandon just went along as Brianna pulled his hand. He was actually quite curious about the fortune-telling, even though he wa
At a famous hospital, a doctor who had just arrived in his office immediately opened his phone after receiving a message from someone.His brow furrowed when he saw the sent message.Catherine.[Do you know how Angelica behaves behind your back?]After reading the message, an image was sent next. Kevin, feeling curious, quickly opened the image. His heart raced when he saw Angelica holding hands with Brandon.Actually, Angelica had already told him they were going to a charity event. However, Angelica had told him that she would introduce Brandon to Catherine. So what was he seeing now?With a bit of emotion, Kevin immediately called Angelica. He wanted to hear an explanation from the woman. But unfortunately, Angelica didn't answer his call.Not wanting to give up so easily, Kevin tried to call Angelica again, but once more the woman still hadn't picked up the phone."Damn! How can you not answer my call, Angelica?"Kevin quickly ended the call, trembling as he left the room he had j
Seeing who was standing right in front of Angelica, the woman immediately stood up and wrapped her arm around that strong arm. "Kevin, how are you here?" she asked with an expression of surprise and joy.Kevin turned to Angelica and smiled, "I was worried something had happened to you, Angelica, that's why I followed you."Angelica suddenly blushed, she said, "You are indeed very caring, Kevin, but I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."Their conversation made Chaterina, who of course couldn't take her eyes off them, feel a bit annoyed. Her hands clenched tightly, but she tried to smile. "That's right, Kevin, you don't need to worry about Angelica, I'll definitely take care of her," Chaterina chimed in.Kevin just nodded, his gaze now focused on a man who had been quiet as if he didn't care. He was Brandon, choosing to remain silent even though he knew about Kevin's arrival."Now sit here, Kevin." Angelica pulled out an empty chair for Kevin, where Kevin then sat down with a smi
