Chapter 71
"If you can nail the first challenge, it'll be smooth sailing from then on."
"You should just drop the idea of asking her opinion and just give her a gift," Brandon advised. "You
could give her some jewelry. Women usually fall for that stuff."
Elijah responded, "She isn't into jewelry. I've never seen her wear any."
"Then give her skincare products. Most chicks dig that," Joey suggested.
Elijah said, "She doesn't use skincare products either. I've been to her room. Apart from a bottle of
facial cleanser, there's nothing."
He can't possibly gift her facial cleanser, can he?
Brandon had not expected Violette to be such a woman.
And he certainly hadn't expected Elijah, the CEO of the Bourne Group, to be snooping around a girl's
room!
"Just give her facial cleanser then!" Brandon said.
Elijah said, "Her facial cleanser is all dusty. I guess she hardly ever uses it."
"Clothes, shoes, handbags! She needs new ones every day, doesn't she? And of course, she must
have an endless collection of handbags," Brandon chimed in. Then he proposed, "Your mother lashed
out at her. She must be feeling awful and wounded. If you don't offer her comfort, she might start
ignoring you."
Joey said, "I think Ms. Dennis is different from most women. She hasn't graduated yet and might not be
so materialistic. Gift-giving might not make much of an impact."
Brandon suddenly got it, "I see where you're coming from. Gifts are only a means to an end. The most
important part is what a man does personally."
Elijah asked, "Like what?"
Joey suggested, "Like kisses and hugs?"
Brandon said, "Exactly!"
Elijah's face turned grim. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"If you don't want to, we can help you!" Seeing his expression, Brandon generously offered.
Elijah's voice suddenly sharpened, "You want to kiss and hug her?!"
Brandon laughed, "We're just helping with the gifts! The rest, you've got to do yourself."
"No need." Elijah wasn't keen on courting through intermediaries. He said coldly, "I don't necessarily
need to be with her."
Brandon asked, "Then why did you sneak into her room and notice her dusty facial cleanser?"
Joey said, "Brandon, let's not push it. Let's just cut him some slack, okay?"
Elijah said, "Both of you, get out!"
Joey, dragging Brandon, went to the door.
Elijah's voice came again, "Joey, set up a meeting with Derek."
"Sure boss, what time?"
"Tonight."
"Alright."
In the evening.
After dinner, Violette decided to take a walk.
She hadn't been out for a week and was feeling cooped up.
The day after her prenatal checkup, she used foundation and her facial injuries got worse, so she didn't
dare to use it again.
She hadn't applied ointment either, so her wounds were healing slowly.
Now, the injuries on her face weren't so bad, but if you looked closely, you could still see the yellowish-
purple bruises.
She put on a mask and left the complex.
After walking about a hundred meters, a motorcycle sped past...
Suddenly, her phone was gone!
