Chapter 160
“Get out of my way Brandon” she muttered as she stared at the man in front of her.
“Was that necessary? Asking Mrs Cranston how she feels?” Brandon asked
“Of course it was. I don’t work with backstabbers. It’s high time women start supporting women,” Hannah said and Brandon smiled.
“You are not just beautiful, you are so smart and intelligent” He muttered and then touched her petite face as he stared at her with love in his eyes.
Hannah felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she gazed at those alluring eyes of his. She felt a strange feeling running through her veins. She swallowed into nothing.
Suddenly, he placed his lips on hers and kissed her slowly and passionately. At first, Hannah tried to push him away, but she stopped and closed her eyes as she let whatever she was feeling at that moment wash through her.
But in a moment, she felt her brain rest in a second.
This was the same man that Isabella had brought food for and also kissed him on his cheeks and then she caught them kissing in his office and now he was kissing her.
“Brandon stop!” She pushed him away and Brandon stared at her wondering why she was angry all of a sudden.
“You should call your Isabella and stop trying to take advantage of me all the time, please,” she said angrily and pushed him out of the way before walking out of the boardroom.
She walked inside her office and then locked the door, she dropped her papers and iPad on the table and sat on the couch.
She placed her hands on her heart which was running a marathon race.
She wondered why she always let Brandon kiss her, this was unlike her before.
What is happening to me? Why am I always falling for his tricks and thinking about him all the time? she thought as she kept thinking about Brandon nonstop.
She tried shaking off the thought in her head or doing one thing or another that would make her forget about him but it wasn’t working.
Just then she heard her phone ring. It was a call from Jessica. She picked up the phone and then answered it.
“Hey” she muttered
“I have already started making the necessary preparations for the party. I know you are busy with work, so don’t worry I can handle it, Alex and Mom are helping too.
Could you help me get some flour from the grocery store when coming back home? I need to make some snacks for myself” Jessica said and Hannah nodded.
“Sure, I will,” she said and hung up.
Meanwhile, Brandon is seen in his office looking so calm, no matter how many times he tells this woman that nothing is going on between him and Isabella, she never believes him.
Or is she jealous? He thought and just then he heard a knock on his door.
“Come in,” he said and Max walked in.
“Sir, Mr Harper is willing to meet this evening by 5 pm at a five-star hotel,” Max said and Brandon checked his time and saw it was almost 4 pm.
“You should also inform my wife, she will be coming with me,” Brandon said Max nodded in response and was about to leave when Brandon called him making him stop.
“Here, you can have this for lunch or dinner,” he said as he gave him the food Isabella had given him.
“Thank you, sir,” Max said with a bright smile on his face. He had been busy running around and hadn’t had the chance to eat, he was so happy he would be able to eat now.
It was almost 5 pm and Brandon was already prepared to leave the office, he walked inside Hannah’s office and met her staring at the computer in front of her.
“I’m ready to go now, we should leave it’s almost 5 pm,” Brandon said and Hannah nodded and switched off the computer in front of her.
She stood up and was about carrying her bag when Brandon carried it, instead.
“Can I have my bag?” She asked
“No, I would help you hold it,” he said and she rolled her eyes and walked past him, then walked out of the office with Brandon trailing behind her.
All the workers kept staring at Brandon who was holding Hannah’s bag as they both walked outside the company.
“Mr Colby is so romantic and they look so cute together” one of the workers whispered and Hannah rolled her eyes.
When they had gotten to the underground parking lots, Brandon asked Hannah to come with him in his car, and that he would ask Max to bring her car home.
After much hesitation, Hannah had agreed to go with him in his car. Immediately they entered the car, Brandon ignited the engine and zoomed off at once.
Brandon kept stealing glances at Hannah who was looking outside the window.
“Are you angry at me?” He asked as she stared at her and then moved his eyes back on the road but she didn’t say a word.
“I’m sorry I asked you to step down from the coo position, it’s yours alright. No one can take the position from you” he said and she rolled her eyes without saying a word.
Brandon felt like he was about to explode at that moment as she kept on ignoring him. It pained his heart to see Hannah ignoring him.
Suddenly, he parked the car at the side of the road and stopped the engine.
Hannah turned to him wondering why he stopped in the middle of nowhere.NôvelDrama.Org content.
He brought out his phone and gave it to Hannah. It was a CCTV footage of when Isabella had arrived in Brandon’s office, how she had slipped and fell on the ground, and how Brandon had helped her up.
He was right, he didn’t kiss her, she was the one who misinterpreted everything.
“See, I didn’t kiss her. Nothing is going on between me and Isabella, you can go through my phone and search it if you want” Brandon said and Hannah stared at him then gave him back his phone.
“I don’t care”
