Redmption 284
?
Brandon looked at me, and I could feel his nervousness.
It seemed he was feeling guilty.
As expected, no man was truly indifferent when it came to the woman he loved.
Seeing Brandon''s rare nervous expression made me smile inwardly as I deliberately kept a serious expression.
I stood in front of him without saying a word. Brandon moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but he seemed to be debating whether he should.
For someone usually so straightforward, seeing him hesitate like this made him seem like a child who had done something wrong and didn''t know what to do.
I couldn''t help but burst outughing. It made him even more confused.
"Mae..."
I reached out, took the milk he had prepared for me, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek. "Thank
you.
After that, I started walking out of the house while calling over my shoulder, "Grab my bag."
Brandon followed me all the way downstairs. He was visibly rxed now.
When we reached the car, I switched things up and headed to the passenger side instead. Then, I tossed the car keys to Brandon and said, "You drive He took the wheel while I settled into the passenger seat, leisurely drinking the warm milk he had made while enjoying the music. I felt more rxed a As we were nearing thepany, Brandon suddenly pulled over by a bus stop.
"What''s the matter?" I asked him.
"Didn''t you say we shouldn''t let our colleagues know about our rtionship? I thought it''d be better if I got off here to avoid any misunderstandings in Shouldn''t he be the one forgetting such things? Yet here he was, reminding me.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
What did this mean?
Suddenly, I thought about how the other women at thepany had admired
and swooned over Brandon after he dealt with Yerrick. My mood soured instantly.
“Brandon, are you worried that being with me will hurt your chances of attracting other women at thepany?" I used, feeling unreasonable. "Of course not!" Brandon denied it immediately.
Treached over and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Mr. Howell, please get out of the car."
Brandon held my hand and said, "Mae, let''s be reasonable."
Deep down, I knew I was being unreasonable.
I was the one who asked him to keep a low profile at work, and he was simply following my request, but now I was getting upset about it. Women were str?nge and troublesome. I could even feel it myself.
"I don''t want any other women. I just
want you," Brandon said as he gently moved my hand restarted the car, heading to thepany.
away and I stayed silent.
After getting out of the car, I turned to him and said, "Mr. Howell, we''re just colleagues."
Brandon smiled helplessly. "Sure."
One thing I liked about this man was that he knew when I was being serious and when I was joking. He didn''t get upset over trivial things. Chris, on the other hand, was different.
When we were together, I rarely
joked because he couldn''t tell when I
was. Even if he knew I was joking. he often read into it and thought meant something else. It was frustrating.
Over time, I stopped joking with him altogether.
Now, I find myself constantlyparing him with Brandon.
It was inevitable, considering both men had been a significant part of my life.
As they said, there was no harm withoutparison. Comparing Brandon and Chris, I realized where the differences between men lie. I learned that every rtionship different.
"Good morning, Mr. Howell!"
"Good morning. Ms. Crown!"
Brandon and I stepped out of the elevator together and our colleagues greeted us warmly. We both nodded and responded politely, "Good morning."
Then, we went to our respective offices and began our work.
What was wrong with dating someone in the samepany?
As long as you had boundaries, you could keep things professional.
After I was done with the morning meeting with my team, Xander came to my office. "Ms. Crown, please handle the tasks you have on hand."
