Chapter 61
"Of course I know him! We used to get wasted together all the time! Derek and Melinda are super
close, didn't he tell you?" Brandon emphasized.
Violette's eyes widened in surprise, "He said they're just friends." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"He's pulling the wool over your eyes, Ms. Dennis. You gotta think hard about why he suddenly wants
to invest in you. Is he trying to scam you?"
Violette: "You mean, this is some kind of trap?"
Brandon shook his head, "All I'm saying is you gotta look at the whole picture. There ain't no such thing
as a free lunch. You just had a clash with Melinda not long ago, and now Derek wants to invest in you,
aren't you scared?"
Violette: "I am scared."
Brandon nodded, "You gotta think this through... Let's eat first. Elijah, I'm done talking to your wife, you
can come over now."
Violette felt awkward hearing the word 'wife'.
After sitting down, Elijah went to the other side to sit.
Brandon brought over the drinks that were already prepared at the bar.
"Ms. Dennis, would you like a drink?" Brandon put down the bottle and brought out three wine glasses.
Violette shook her head, "I don't drink. I have to write a paper tonight."
"Oh, in that case, I'll drink with Elijah..." After pouring drinks for himself and Elijah, Brandon said to
Violette, "Elijah got wasted a few days ago, lucky you were there."
Violette choked, "I didn't take care of him, he just slept it off."
"True, Elijah can hold his liquor and he's quiet when he's drunk." Brandon said, "He doesn't like
expressing his feelings much..."
Violette: "I think he's pretty expressive! He gets angry when he's unhappy. I've never seen anyone who
loves expressing their feelings more."
Brandon didn't know how to respond.
Elijah's face turned dark instantly.
"Let's eat." She noticed his change in expression, quickly picked up her bowl, and stuffed her mouth
with food.
In less than five minutes, she put down her utensils and left.
Watching her leave, Brandon sighed, "Does she always eat this fast?"
Elijah: "Mhm."
Brandon: "Is she anorexic? She eats so little."
Elijah: "A person who really doesn't want to eat wouldn't even take a bite."
Brandon: "Oh... It seems she's trying to stay in shape to catch your eye."
Elijah raised an eyebrow, tauntingly, "You think she cares about my feelings?"
If Violette cared about his feelings, she wouldn't have embarrassed him just now.
At first, he was often enraged by her words, but now his patience had improved a lot.
Brandon: "It seems she doesn't care. But it's her straightforward and genuine nature that you like about
her."
"When did I say I liked her?"
"Stop pretending, there's no one else here. Besides, liking a woman isn't something to be ashamed of.
Violette is better than many women..."
"Really? All she thinks about is having kids."
Brandon was speechless.
In her room.
Violette turned on her computer, but her mind couldn't calm down.
A deep sense of unease lingered in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Violette's heart raced!
She picked up the phone and saw Sabrina Dennis' name on the screen.
Sabrina was actually calling!
There must be some trouble!
