Chapter 887 Call It More

Brendan was willingly humbling himself to appreciate the gorgeously aesthetic woman.

“Beautiful, very beautiful.”

The stylist behind them covered her mouth in shock. Although it wasn’t her first time seeing such an act, she couldn’t believe that Brendan was doing it. After all, Brendan was the ruler of Neve. Even though he was somewhat restricted because of scandals, he was supposed to be superior, but he was so loving toward this lady.

If it wasn’t for the privacy of her guests, she would have taken photos and sent them to the group chat.

Feeling uneasy, Deirdre withdrew her hand. “Are you sure? I’m not only a nobody. I’m also a suspect. Those board members will be rude if you take me to the banquet.” “It’ll be good for me if they show rude behavior.”

As expected, Brendan wanted her to enrage those people.

Though feeling helpless, Deirdre didn’t say a word and got in the car along with Brendan.

Upon arriving at the company’s parking lot, Brendan warned Deirdre while they were getting out of the car, “Follow me closely so that you won’t get lost because you can’t see well.”

Deirdre nodded gently. Following that, she felt Brendan’s approaching arm, which grabbed her hand.

When they were passing through the main entrance, they were stopped by a security guard. “Hold on. You’ll have to show me the invitation letter to enter-” The next moment when the security guard managed to identify Brendan and Deirdre, who was currently in the middle of a controversy, he was so stunned that his mouth was wide open.

“M-Mr. Brighthall? What brings you here?” He broke out in a cold sweat.

“Huh? Can’t I come when my company is holding a banquet?” replied Brendan calmly and composedly.

“No, Mr. Brighthall, I didn’t mean that. But today…” Troubled, the security guard suggested, “Can you please wait here for a moment while I go in and report-”

Before the security guard could even finish saying the word “report”, Deirdre chimed in. “Report? Who are you reporting to? Isn’t the company still under Bren’s power? Do you think that letting us enter today can lead to any changes like a change of the owner?

“As a security guard, you should be capable of discerning right from wrong and know the company’s real owner. For you to stop us from entering today, you will be the first to be dismissed when Bren regains his position later.

“On the other hand, if you let us in today, the board members will be displeased, but they won’t investigate anyone. Do make sure you think this through.”

Deirdre explained the pros and cons of the situation and waited for the security guard to weigh his options.

As expected, the security guard stepped aside and respectfully said, “Mr. Brighthall, please proceed…”

Surprised, Brendan turned to Deirdre, who looked gentle under the soft light. He could barely imagine that she had such a silver tongue. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After they had entered, Brendan couldn’t help but ask, “Bren?” He was referring to the name Deirdre had just called him.

Deidre was embarrassed and explained, “Don’t get the wrong idea. We’re in the same boat, so I want to make our relationship appear a bit more intimate.” ‘What idea am I getting wrong?” Pleased, Brendan added, “I’m so happy I can hardly contain it that you call me Bren.”

Brendan whispered, leaning close to Deirdre’s ear, “Deirdre, call me that more in the future.”

Following that, Brendan led Deirdre toward the hall while Deirdre felt her heart was inexplicably pounding fast, and her ears were burning hot.

The moment they stepped into the hall, all the conversations stopped abruptly.

If Deirdre could see their faces, she believed everyone’s smiles should have faded instantaneously.

Some must be looking surprised, while others were shocked.

Desmond, who many company executives surrounded, suddenly looked very ugly. Brendan’s grand appearance was like the arrival of the master as if he was shaming Desmond.
