Brianna hopped back into Leander's sleek Rolls-Royce and before they smoothly pulled away from the hospital. Now they have left. Despite this, Leander couldn’t help but question where they would go next, given their lack of planning. Brianna, with a mischievous glint in her eye, simply declared he was to be her guest for the day, hinting at a visit to her home. "Okay, it will be appreciated," Brianna replied, her eyes sparkling with warmth, causing his heart to quicken. "Okay but um I won't linger, Brianna. There’s an urgent matter that needs to be resolved before sunset; it's crucial," Leander said, his eyes brimming with earnestness, a faint yet genuine smile gracing his lips. Leander's gaze locked with Brianna's. A nod of assurance accompanied by a fleeting smile, he inquired softly, "Brianna, I noticed you have always loved to stay around me? What draws your attention to me? I can’t deny it, I was surprised by your boldness in standing up for me against Rex. I’ve never e
Shortly after, the chefs whisked away the empty plates from the dining table, seamlessly replacing them with steaming new filled dishes. Brianna's raised eyebrow silently questioned the delay, her impatience palpable.As the chef left, Brianna heaved a deep sigh of relief, a radiant grin lighting up her face. "Awwn, alright everyone..." Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she reached for a plate of beef Wellington, along with the others.As Leander chewed, disbelief gnawed at him; the food was delicious, unlike anything he had ever tasted before. Nonetheless, he pondered how the skilled chefs could possibly make mistakes and serve meals that were not fully cooked. His mind was flooded with queries, causing him to halt his meal.Brianna noticed that Leander wasn’t pleased and sensed his worry. He slouched in his chair, unease clouding his gaze. The situation didn't sit well with Brianna. Frowning, she brainstormed ways to encourage his appetite."Leander, you are feeling off? What
Brianna’s gaze remained locked on Camila as she leaned forward on the couch, a mixture of frustration and disillusionment apparent on her face. The urge to confront Camila gnawed at her. 'Not speaking up could indirectly give Camila the impression that she did something right,’ Brianna thought to herself."Camila, we've been close for so long, and now you decide to play a trick by contaminating the food? It’s an obvious and direct act of attempted murder," Anger and revulsion were evident in Brianna’s voice as it cut through the tense atmosphere. Camila, lacking the ability to defend herself, stared at the ground, her face marked with guilt."What was the reason for your decision to pull that stunt? Your stupidity could cost the chef their jobs. Just think, if I had ingested the toxin you planned for Leander .....," Brianna's tone was fiery and resolute. Frowning in annoyance, she demanded with authority, "Now tell me where the hell you stash the poison?”"I'm sorry; but I would exp
"Why do you doubt that's possible?" With a sharp gasp, Leander’s shoulders slumped in anxiety.Daxton nervously shifted in his seat before answering, “It’s too early and we haven’t made arrangements for his replacement yet,” he said, glancing around the room for support. The silence was palpable as the tension grew between them."But I will surely consult with your mother about it in order to reach a decision," he continued, sighing softly. He however took a deep breath, weighing his options and considering whether severing ties with Jeeves was the only solution after this breach of trust.Daxton pondered silently, his face etched with worry. "Jeeves has been a loyal butler for over years now”He mused, "I can't imagine him being malevolent" Despite his doubts, Daxton's trust in Jeeves had never wavered. "He's always been reliable," he said.Inhaling sharply, Leander’s face became flooded with comprehension as he grappled with inner turmoil over what to do next.Daxton's gaze was sof
Leander's smile strained, his eyes shut in resolve. "Are you convinced that I’m eager to be the new owner of Etherium University?" he declared. McCoy chuckled softly, furrowing his brows. Leander's words hit him like a sudden gust of wind, leaving him incredulous. "Leander, you can't be serious," McCoy said in disbelief. A flicker of annoyance flashed across Leander's face before he regained his composure. He was not about to let McCoy underestimate him. "Hahaha, Etherium University's value is beyond your pocket money," McCoy countered. Leander met McCoy's doubtful gaze and held it steadily. It was clear that McCoy had no idea what he was capable of. Undeterred, Leander persisted. "I'm serious. I can secure this university in weeks if the administration transfer process is expedited," he asserted confidently. McCoy's eyes twinkled as he swallowed, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "You know, our university's got a cool £900 million in the bank," he said with a hint
"Okay, Leander. I'm not overthinking anything, you are just hiding your feelings," Brianna sighed, her eyes glinting with determination. Leander sitting limpy on the couch was rendered speechless by her cryptic words.After a brief moment, Leander responded, his eyes meeting Brianna's with a faint smile, "Yep. I keep it a secret because you might be even better than I thought" "Finally, I've got the truth out of you. Exactly what I needed," Brianna, in excitement, whispered.Sensing a thick wave of desire filling the room, Leander's eyebrow raised. Just as the moment was unfolding, a loud phone ring interrupted, prompting Brianna to rush off to her bedroom to grab her phone.Shortly after, she returned to find Leander waiting.Catching sight of the new phone in Leander’s hand, Brianna’s eyes narrowed. "You promised to meet me last time you were here," she reminded him, trying to mask her rising anxiety. "Why haven't you followed through?" Leander's mischievous grin only added to h
They quickly turned around, fixing their gazes at the door. Brianna stepped closer to the door, her heart racing before she realized it wasn't fully closed. She let out a sigh of relief and then used her biometrics to lock it."Why would a modern and smart door like this creak so audibly?" Leander asked, a bit spooked."Uh, I have no idea," Brianna replied, "but I won't ignore your words because Rex is a cunning guy"Leander followed her into the living room, his expression filled with intrigue. "This doesn't look like a usual bedroom," he remarked, his tone sharp with curiosity."Is that your bedroom? It's kind of empty," he said.Brianna fell silent for a moment before looking up sternly at Leander. "I already told you there are vacant rooms here but that's not my bedroom. It's located on the upper floor," she stated firmly.She exhaled sharply, her gaze icy as she continued, "I've reconsidered giving you that vacant room because of your hesitance and nerves. Were you afraid to work
"Fake again? You’re the most daring and unexpected one in the bunch," Leander quipped, surprised by the bank staff’s accusation. Annoyed, he exhaled sharply, "Put it through a card reader and let’s see who's right" The bank staff swiftly set the card reader on the table and swipe the card over the payment terminal device. A gentle hum filled the room as the screen lit up. Suddenly, a detailed account profile appeared, stunning them both into silence. She muttered a curse, snapping her fingers in frustration. She berated herself for being careless, instantly regretting the slip-up. "She's the one who can't be trusted," Leander told the man, a smug smile playing on his lips. The bank staff's irritation grew, her gaze sharp. "It's crystal clear. Give back his stuff now or do as he said," the man interjected, his tone commanding, his expression fierce. "Wait a minute. The card reader is yet to sort it," the bank staff cut in, her voice sharp. Leander blinked, his expression
