Because Brian's criticisms were completely true, I could only bow my head, not daring to look at his face.
Isn't he busy in a meeting? Did he preside over the meeting at the speed of light? Right now, I feel so small and stupid.
“Let's go.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, his big and warm hand was entwined with mine. I didn't have time to react and regain my composure, so I just followed him like a sleepwalker.
I faintly heard the admiring voices praising his excellent appearance and my luck because I caught a handsome guy from head to toe, and wholeheartedly took care of his girlfriend.
Yes, I admit that in public and in private, this guy is like two different people.
If I agreed to be Brian's girlfriend, I would probably drag him out on the street all day, not daring to let him stay at home. That way, I won't have to be angry because of his bad words and actions.
We walked down the hallway and turned into the Depart
La Brasserie restaurant is designed according to European architecture, extremely classy and elegant. The color scheme is very elegant, very formal but also very private.Usually, if I want to come here for a good meal, I have to spend a few hundred dollars. If Brian hadn't come with me, I wouldn't have stepped foot in here.Sitting down on the soft leather chair, I held my breath and looked around. I see everyone wearing luxurious and aristocratic clothes, maybe it's just me who dresses casually.When I'm not feeling well, I'm not in the mood to look in the mirror, groom myself, or put on makeup.This morning, I left the house without makeup, just now when I was passing the glass, I suddenly turned around and I saw myself as pale as a corpse.Maybe it's because Brian looks at me a lot at home, so he feels normal, but everyone looks at me with strange eyes. I also faintly heard them say that we are the wrong pair of chopsticks.I didn't know
“I won't bother you two anymore. Please allow me to leave first.”Richard smiled lightly and quickly passed us. I could feel the sadness on his handsome face. As for Brian, he went back to his old place, sat down, and continued to finish his meal.Leaving the restaurant, Brian drove me to the gate of the villa. During the time just now, he didn't say anything, making me assume that he didn't care that I knew Richard.But when I was just about to open the car door to get out, he grabbed my hand and pulled me back.“How did you get to know Richard? From when?”His voice was serious, his eyes slowly moving from the road in front of him to me. Apparently, I was constantly misreading this man's mind.Brian's mood is not good, so I don't want to talk nonsense to make him angry, so I only say what needs to be said, just enough to explain the relationship between me and the director of MK company.“Is it just tha
In the days that followed, the relationship between me and Brian was gentle. He no longer made fun of me or mocked me. The way he talked to me was so gentle.Sometimes, I feel like we're both dating and we're a perfect match.Maybe because I cursed him so hard that day, he already knew how to be a human.My stomach is also less painful and my mood is good so I can eat more. However, I still did not dare to touch the chili because of Brian's sharp eyes.He originally liked spicy food, but since the day he took me to the doctor, he changed his taste and told me not to add pepper and chili to the dishes.When his mother asked about it, he said that his body had changed and he didn't like them.“Next week is Hellen's birthday. She's not going back to America, so she'll have a party here. Her acquaintances here are also not many, so you and I should try to arrange work to congratulate her lest she be sad. I have recommended Li Bai restauran
“Eat it, it won't taste good if it's cooled down.” Richard picked up his chopsticks and said.“Yes.”I replied softly and did as he said. Today, I don't order crab and shrimp because I want to keep my image when eating in front of him.I don't want him to see me when I have to peel crabs and shrimp by hand. I'm not sure Richard will peel them off for me as Brian did.And even if Brian doesn't help me, I don't mind eating in front of him because we've lived together for a long time, each other's bad habits and vices are all displayed, and no shame.Moreover, my body has also been seen by him, there is nothing left.Our meal took place in silence. It wasn't until both of us let go of our chopsticks and ate the fruit that Richard spoke up.However, I did not expect that he would tell me to quit my job at Brian's house to pursue my passion for fashion. Moreover, he also said that he would lend me money to pay for M
Me and Caily just stood like pillars, letting the three of them talk. I can't hear what they're saying anymore. It wasn't until Hellen called my name and said goodbye that I was freed from my thoughts.“Yes, goodbye.” I tried to smile to hide my panic.Not long after Brian and Hellen left, Richard called the waiter to pay. Caily asked for my phone number and also left the restaurant after her fat boss and a few business partners staggered toward the main door.I just knew that she worked as a salesperson for a company specializing in providing security equipment.“Are you not feeling well, Bella?” Richard stared at my face and asked.“Oh, yes. Caily makes me so dizzy, I…”Richard burst out laughing, nodded slightly, and stood up. I quickly got up from the chair and left with him.The terror brought by Brian made the shame towards Richard fly away.I was busy worrying about my future fo
I stood in front of Brian's study door with a plate of noodles and a glass of milk for a long time, breathing deeply many times before daring to enter.Why should I be afraid of him? He's hanging out with Hellen, why can't I go out to eat with Richard? We do not have any legal documents binding each other.“Here's your food.” I put the glass of milk and the plate of noodles on the table and said.Hearing the sound of the window slamming shut due to the wind, I quickly walked over, locking the latch.Seeing the lighted windows on the far building gradually turn off, I enjoyed watching, feeling like it was a child's game.“Bella, the milk is too hot.”Brian's call made me jump and rush to the desk. However, in an instant, my face turned stupid, and I opened my eyes wide to look at him.This guy, if he feels the milk is too hot, he has to blow it to cool it down. Does he want to force me to blow it for him?
I looked at him for a long time and then blinked a few times, using the tip of my fingernails to poke my skin to confirm this wasn't a dream.However, his not-so-beautiful past made me hesitate, not knowing if I should open my heart to receive this wild horse.Can I tame him? Just thinking about one day I was abandoned by him, I was extremely scared. At this point, I am self-deprecating, no longer confident.“Bella, I'm telling the truth.” Brian put both hands on my face, affirming.“Ah… Brian… I… I need to rethink this.” I stammered out.“Why? Because of Richard?” He pressed his hands to my cheeks, making me feel like my face was turning into a triangle.“Not. I no longer like him.” I replied quickly because I did not want to break my jawbone.“If so, why should you think?”“I'm afraid.” I pulled his hand away, sat on a nearby chair, a
Brian just became my secret lover in the evening, this morning, he had to go on an unexpected business trip.Originally, this business trip was led by Sunshine Bank's vice president, but he suddenly had a fever last night and had to be hospitalized.During the day, he was busy with the group's activities, at night, he took advantage of the time to video call me. The feeling of lying on the bed, eating snacks while looking at him through the phone screen is great.I miss him so much and also look forward to the day he comes back to me. I miss the masculine scent of mint lingers on his body, his soft hands, and his loving eyes that are only for me.Today is Saturday, Mrs. Alina only worked half a day and then went home.After dinner, she invited me to watch an entertainment program with her.Sometimes, I peeked at her, wondering how she would react if she knew that I and Brian were in love.I understand she's looking forward to him and
