A Successful Career After Divorce

“Brendon! Stop talking!”

Ranita’s face turned beet red with embarrassment. She felt too ashamed to face anyone. Thankfully, no one in the bar knew her; otherwise, some strange gossip might spread.

“Alright, I won’t say anything!” Brendon kissed her flushed cheek. “Baby, shall I take you home?”

Mentioning home, Ranita suddenly remembered she hadn’t informed Leon yet. She stepped out of the car while speaking, “Wait a moment, I need to let someone know.”

“You’re going back?” Brendon looked at her angrily. “Do you really like that Leon?”

What nonsense!

“I don’t like Leon! I only like you!” Ranita’s mind was in a whirl. Seeing Brendon’s smug expression after she spoke, she gritted her teeth in frustration. “Are you satisfied now?”

Ranita’s heart was actually very uneasy.

She had always been like a hedgehog wrapped in its own spikes, hesitant and afraid to reveal her true feelings. Now that she had taken this step, she only hoped it wasn’t a mistake.

Brendon held her wrist, feeling as if fireworks had exploded in his mind, leaving him completely satisfied and content.

Ranita said she only liked him!

“Yes!” Brendon nodded solemnly. “Satisfied!”

Ranita didn’t expect Brendon to answer so seriously. She was instantly embarrassed and didn’t know where to put her hands and feet. Nervously, she shook off his hand. “I’ll go inside and say goodbye to Leon.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ranita floated back inside.

Leon was looking for her, worriedly asking, “Where did you go? You scared me! If you disappeared, how would I explain it to your mother?”

“Sorry! I went to the restroom and then waited for the car outside!” Ranita didn’t dare mention Brendon. “Mr. Grant, my friend came to pick me up. I’ll leave now!”

“Thank you for today. I’ll treat you to dinner another day!”

It was meant to be polite, but Leon agreed immediately. “Sure! Don’t forget!”

He even asked for Ranita’s contact information.

It was so sudden!

Ranita didn’t want to give it at first, but coincidentally received a message from Alexia asking how things were going. Alexia had asked Leon earlier and said he had a good impression of Ranita, urging her to give him her contact information quickly…

Ranita walked out of the bar in a daze. Not only had she given out her contact information, but she had also arranged to treat Leon to dinner over the weekend.

Ranita got into the car and instantly remembered what she had said earlier when she saw Brendon. She shrank into the corner, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

Brendon had found a designated driver.

Throughout the ride, Brendon didn’t speak; he just stared at her intently.

That gaze felt like it had hooks, making Ranita extremely uncomfortable as if she were being scrutinized all over. Especially around her neck, it felt chillingly cold.

When they arrived at Ranita’s house, Brendon asked the driver to wait outside for a moment.

“I’ll get out too!” Ranita blinked nervously at Brendon. “It’s getting late.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow loomed over her dominantly.

Ranita’s waist was forcefully held, and her lips were seized in a powerful kiss. Brendon’s kiss was intense, passionate, and utterly unrestrained.

Like a wild beast provoked, he unleashed his nature with unreserved aggression.

“Brendon… calm down…” Ranita feared that if this continued, he would devour her right there in the car.

“It’s okay; he’s an employee from the company. He won’t say anything.” Brendon explained between kisses, his hands roaming over her skin haphazardly, igniting little fires that left her helpless and disheveled.
