Chapter 82 Acting Close
The atmosphere became a little awkward as I kept coughing. Dn came to my side and patted my
back gently. We looked very intimate at the moment.
Dn''s actions warmed my heart. If I could spend the rest of my life with such a considerate and gentle
man, I would be very happy even without love.
I raised my head and smiled faintly at Dn. I had a very good impression of them, but that was it. I
didn''t fall in love with him.
"Why didn''t you say you don''t drink? I wouldn''t have let you drink the wine if I had known."
Dn looked at me guiltily.
"I''m fine, the wine just went down the wrong windpipe. It''s not a big deal."
Not far away, a familiar figure came into my sight. I paused and widened my eyes in surprise.
Why was Brandon here?
The moment I saw Brandon, I panicked. I looked at him with panic in my eyes, not knowing what to do.
"Hollie, what''s wrong with you?"
Noticing my strangeness, Dn frowned and looked at me in confusion.
I didn''t answer him. My eyes were still fixed on Brandon. He looked at me with a darkened face, and
the anger in his ck eyes was burning.
Dn looked at me with a puzzled frown. Then he followed my gaze and saw Brandon. The expression
on his face changed slightly and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Hollie, is he really just your boss?" Dn shifted his gaze back to me. His eyes held some suspicion.
Last time, it was Brandon who dragged me away in front of Dn. Now, he showed up here. I didn''t
know what would happen next, so I didn''t know how to answer Dn''s question.
I kept blinking guiltily.
I didn''t know how to answer his question.
Brandon was already walking towards us while I was floundering. I got more flustered. I didn''t know
what he would say when he got here.
I clutched the hem of my clothes. At this moment, all I wanted to do was run away from this situation.
Brandon was obviously very angry. If he revealed our rtionship, I didn''t know how I would face
Dn.
Dn, who was standing beside me, also saw himing over. He frowned slightly, but he still
maintained his good manners.
"Hello, nice to meet you again."
Dn was the first to hold out a hand with a smile.
However, even though he maintained his good manners, it did not mean that Brandon would do the
same. He just nced coldly at Dn and ignored his outstretched hand.
His attitude was exactly the same as the first time, and he didn''t take Dn seriously at all.
Dn looked at me awkwardly with some anger on his face. He was not a fool, so he could naturally
feel Brandon''s hostility toward him.
"P... President, why are you here?"
I looked into Brandon''s pitch-ck eyes and greeted him guiltily.
"This is a restaurant. If you cane here, I certainly can too."
He stood two steps away from me. The aura around him was very oppressing, and I avoided his eyes
due to my guilt.
"Of course not. I just think it''s too coincidental."
I smiled awkwardly. Although I kept calm on the surface, I was very unhappy in my heart. I even
suspected that Brandon was following me. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he was
here at the same time while I was having dinner with Dn here?
"Is that so? What a coincidence! The two of us are really fated to meet. Every time you go out on a
date, I meet you."
Brandon deliberately emphasized the words "go out on a date". I could clearly see the anger in his
eyes. He must be very angry now.
I knew that he didn''t like me being with Dn because of his ridiculous possessiveness. He was a
selfish person, but so was I. Although he and I were still friends of benefits, I still had to think about my
future.
"It is a coincidence. I''d have thought you were stalking me if I didn''t know better."
Every word he said was aimed at me, even though I didn''t do anything wrong. He always made it look
like I had betrayed him, which made me upset.
Right now, in front of Dn, I couldn''t back off again. He would get suspicious.
In fact, I knew that he was stalking me. There was no way he was here by coincidence. Every time I
met Dn, he would be in the same ce.
"Hollie, are you saying that I''m stalking you?"
Hearing what I said, he looked at me with cold eyes and asked this question in a questioning tone.
"I was just joking. You don''t have to take it so seriously unless I am right."
I looked into Brandon''s eyes without showing weakness. In front of Dn, I didn''t want to be too weak.
The more cowardly I was, the more he would doubt the rtionship between us.
"Hollie, you are too narcissistic. Who are you to me? Why would I stalk you?"
Brandon felt a little embarrassed. After a sneer, his face became even colder. I wondered if this man
wanted to punch me.
"That''s right, we''re not close at all. Why would youe here for me? This is such a coincidence."
Now that he had said that we had no rtionship at all, I thought that Dn would not be suspicious
anymore. I heaved a sigh of relief inwardly and began worrying about myself.
Brandon wouldn''t let me off so easily for undermining him in front of Dn.
Brandon was a smart man. He immediately realised that I had deliberately set up a trap for him to jump
in so that he would say that we have nothing to do with each other in front of Dn/
But he did not speak again. He just stared at me with a dark expression, and the anger in his ck
eyes seemed to threaten to burn me into a crisp.
I deliberately turned my face away from him. He was a public figure, so he couldn''t do anything to me
now. Also, he was the one who said we couldn''t let anyone know about our rtionship.
"Dn, let''s continue eating."
Dn had been standing aside, frowning. I knew that he had neglected him, so I deliberately got close
to him.
Brandon''s hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. If it
weren''t for the fact that I knew this man and that he didn''t want others to know about our rtionship, I
would be a little afraid that this man would hit me in public.

"Okay."
When Dn heard that I was talking to him, a gentle smile appeared on his face again. He sat opposite
me and gave me some of the steaks that he had cut up.
No matter how gentle a man was, he still had a temper. Dn was such a person. I could feel that he
was deliberately acting close to me in front of Brandon.
