After a while, Brian finally let go of his embrace. Valda smiled
at the man in front of her and said, “Okay, from now on, you also have to believe in me like I believe in you. Trust that I won’t misunderstand you!”
Her phoenix-like eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. After a long pause, he finally murmured, “Okay.” He felt so lucky
to have met someone like her.
Valda said, “Okay, let’s try the cake I bought.”
Just as she turned around to get the cake, she realized that Whitney was nowhere to be found.
She took out a cake from the cake box and handed it to him,
saying “Here, try it out. I had a piece on my way here and it tasted
pretty good.”
He took the cake and started eating it in small bites.
“Did you ask me what Whitney came to do earlier?” Brian asked
abruptly.
She blinked her eyes and said, “Do you want me to ask?”
He suddenly didn’t know how to respond, and from her gaze, it
was clear that she had no curiosity at all.
So Brian didn’t ask any further and said directly, “I’ll send Whitney back overseas and ask her not to stay in Emerald City anymore. I know she has some other thoughts about me, but I don’t have any feelings for her. It’s just because she…”
He paused, his throat feeling a bit dry, “It’s just because she looks
a bit like Grace. When I saw her overseas, I didn’t want her to get
into trouble, so I arranged for her to stay at the overseas branch and gave her a secretary position. I just didn’t expect her to suddenly come to Emerald City.”
He explained to her that he usually wouldn’t explain these things
to others, even if others had any random guesses, he wouldn’t bother to explain.
But facing her, he took the initiative to explain, afraid that she
would misunderstand something.
He didn’t want any misunderstandings between them.
“So, does she want to go back overseas?” Valda asked.
“If she’s willing, then I’ll have someone arrange a job for her at the
overseas company where she can support herself. Of course, that
job won’t be a secretary anymore, just some basic work. If she continues to stay overseas, then the company won’t arrange any
work for her here,” Brian said.
“What if she stays in Emerald City but does something that will get her into trouble again, what will you do?” Valda asked.
“I won’t bother with her anymore,” Brian said. Arranging a job for Whitney overseas was already his greatest kindness to her.
“Really?”
“I don’t need to take responsibility for her life. I felt sorry for her because of her appearance, but that doesn’t mean I will continue to feel sorry for her,” Brian replied. “I won’t see her again in the
future.”
Valda smiled again. Although she trusted Brian, his willingness to explain these things to her made her feel respected.
“Is the cake delicious?” she asked.
“It’s delicious,” he said.
“I’ll try it too. I’ve never tasted this flavor before,” she said, taking a small spoon and intending to take a bite of his cake.
However, he lifted his hand and directly grabbed the back of her
head, took a small bite of the cake, and leaned towards her lips.
She widened her eyes in surprise, could it be that he… he doesn’t
want to…
