Chapter 460
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âItâs delicious! Did you buy it from Tannerâs Bakery? Their cakes are unbelievable! No one else could compare! Hey, Iâm serious! I wouldnât lie to you. Do you want to take a bite?
He dug out a piece with a spoon and held it near her mouth.
Brittany avoided it with a look of disgust. Brandon shook his head and asked, âHow could you reject this?!â
He continued to eat, and seeing that the cake was half eaten, she asked calmly, âBrandon, have you met with Alex recently?â
âNo!â He buried himself in the cake and occasionally freed his mouth to drink the macchiato.
âThere havenât been any new projects to work with lately. Heâs busy, and Iâm busy as well. You know how he is. Itâs difficult to even call him out for a drink. You see him more than I do, anyways. Whatâs up?
After saying that, he felt something was wrong and suddenly raised his head, âWhat do you want to say?â
âItâs nothing. I just wanted you to help me find something out.â
She smiled with a harmless and innocent look. It sounded simple and easy, but Brandon knew the red velvet in front of him was a trap. He choked.
âYou had something up your sleeve!â Putting down the spoon, he said through gritted teeth. He hated himself for being greedy and for falling into her traps. He knew there was no free lunch in the world, but he could not control his cravings. âDonât say it like that!â Brittany said as she tilted her head, âItâs not a big deal. I havenât seen you and Alex for a long time! I just wanted to meet and chat!â
âBesides, didnât you say there are no new projects to cooperate with recently? Then itâs good to meet up. Maybe thereâll be an opportunity soon. Weâre killing two birds with one stone! Iâm so smart!â She clapped her hands together and said rather proudly.
Bradon immediately felt that she was up to no good. He lost his appetite with the cake, threw the spoon away, and wiped his mouth with a tissue, âTell me, what do you want to do? Do you want to go with me?â
Brittany nodded slightly.
âThatâs bribery!â With a light snort, he slowly picked up the cup of macchiato and stuffed the straw into his mouth,â Why do you still need help with this anyway? Youâre very skilled in running to him by yourself. Canât you just find him on your own? Did he issue a restraining order against you?â
After knowing what was going on, he felt relieved and teased her.
She rolled his eyes at him, âThatâs cruel! Iâm asking you to help because itâs not so convenient for me.â
âWhat are you afraid of?â He almost choked on his own laugh, âYou already know so many of his deepest childhood secrets, like when he wet his bed, when he...â Under Brittanyâs vicious gaze, he swallowed the word abruptly, shrank his neck, and said, âAnyway, what do you want me to do?â
âI just want to know if he is really engaged,â Brittany said bluntly.
âWhat?â This time, he choked so hard that he spit out the macchiato in his mouth, and his shirt was full of stains.
Brandon hurriedly stood up and wiped off the excess. He then shook his head repeatedly, âBrittany, are you crazy? Where did you hear this rumor? Whoâs engaged? Alex? Are you kidding me?â
