Spoiled by Mr. Russell
The annual Chamber of Commerce dinner in Sapphine was lively. Many industry leaders respected it because it allowed them to meet and engage with business partners they had cooperated with through the years. On the other hand, it was also to explore potential clients and perhaps better investments.
Alexander was naturally the center of attention at the dinner. Many small and mediumâsized companies who wanted to cooperate withi La Beauté Group, or hoped to gain his favor and investment, would try their best to capture his attention.
Brittany was a little nervous as she held her wine glass. She stared at it for a long while but could not get a chance to squeeze in and isolate Alexander from the crowd.
Arianna swayed, looked ahead smilingly, and muttered, âItâs getting late.â Her voice was soft, and only the two could hear it. Of course, only the two could understand each other. âI know,â Brittany pursed her lips, âThere are too many people. Iâm waiting for an opportunity.â
âWaiting is not an option. If you keep waiting, Alex will probably leave at any minute,â Arianna said with a faint smile. She lowered her head and took a sip of the wine. She was busy greeting people nonâ
stop. Brittanyâs heart was conflicted. She decided to settle the case as soon as possible but was still anxious about the approach. Her feelings for Alexander were love and fear at the same time. She had loved him for many years but would feel timid when facing him.
She raised her head and gulped her wine to give herself courage. âRemember what we agreed on!â
Leaving those words behind, she strode toward Alexanderâs direction.
While approaching Alexander, she took two glasses of wine from the waiterâs tray. She stared at the man before her, with her pinky tapping the glass inadvertently. Then she pushed aside the crowd to get to him.âAlex...â
Alexander looked back and saw Brittany.
âAlex, I was ignorant before. I did things that made you angry, and I was impulsive. I hope you can forgive me,â Brittany seemed sincere as she handed Alexander a glass of wine, âI hope you can forgive me.â
Looking at her, Alexander politely took the wine glass, but he did not drink it. âYouâre a grown â up now, so you should consider the consequences before you act. I can forgive you this time since I still treat you as my sister.â
Brittanyâs eyes glinted when she heard the word sister. âI see. If you forgive me, then letâs toast to that!â
She raised the glass in her hand.
âBrittany, you and I are friends. We donât need to drink to make amends,â Alexander said. He seemed like he did not want to drink.
âNo, I insist!â Brittany stood before Alexander, fearing he would not drink the wine. She raised her head and drank from her cup. âIâm being sincere, so I liope you can give usâgive me another chance.â
She fixed her eyes on Alexanderâs wine glass as if she would not feel at ease if he refused to drink.
âReally?â Alexander asked again, raising his eyebrows. Brittanyâs eyes flickered as she bit her bottom lip. âJust this once?â âIf thatâs what you want,â After pondering for a while, Alexander said slowly, âOkay.â
