Chapter 31 : Friendly Date
There’s nothing wrong with accepting Brandon’s offer to eat outside. It’s just a friendly date. She’s thinking about Leo now. What if he gets angry? She was stunned. Why would he be angry? They don’t have a relationship. It’s not because he told her that he likes her, does it means he already owns her? As long as he doesn’t say that he loves her, she has the right to accept Brandon’s offer. Love? Leo can’t tell her those things.
“Yes. You can.” she said
After she said that. Leo came out of the room wearing a top and went to the kitchen. He didn’t even turn to them. She knows he heard what she said. His room is just on the side of the living room. Whereas her room is right in front of the living room. Is he angry?
“Alright, I’ll just take a shower and get dressed.” she said and stood up.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you, Rhianna.” Brandon replied.
She just gave him a small smile. She went to the room where there was a bathroom that was big enough for one person. While she was in front of the shower. She can’t help but think of Leo’s reaction. She feels guilty. But, Brandon is a good man. He became a good friend to her.
After she showers. She wore a peach Hawaiian dress. She put a hairpin on her hair and combed it. She also put a thin lipstick on her lips. After she looked at herself in the mirror and was satisfied with her appearance, she left the room.
When she left the room, their eyes met. His long hair is in a ponytail. She just stared at him. She can’t even feel a spark of what he’s doing. It’s not like Leo who stares at her and she feels like she’s going to melt.
“Brandon.” she called him. He smiled at her.
“You look gorgeous Rhianna.” he said. There is admiration in his eyes. She smiled.
“Thanks. Wait, I’ll just say goodbye to Leo.” she said and Brandon nodded.
She headed to the kitchen. When She got there, I found him putting away the meat and other ingredients that he cut earlier.
“Aren’t you going to cook that?” she asks.
“Not anymore. For what else? Are you going on a date, right?” he asked her who didn’t even look at her. She was stunned by what he said. He is angry.
“There’s nothing wrong with accepting his offer. It’s just a friendly date.” she said to him.
“Why are you still saying goodbye? Leave now because he might be waiting for you.” he pushed her away. She couldn’t help but be hurt by the tone of his speech. There was anger in his tone. Biting her lower lip, she turned away from him and headed to the living room. Her heart was pounding as he walked towards the living room where Brandon was waiting. She smiled at him and tried to hide the pain she was feeling.
“Let’s go.” he said. Brandon stood up and let her walk ahead. The car is parked not far from the apartment. When they got there, he immediately opened the car door for her.
“Thank you.” she said and went inside. He turned towards the driver’s seat. After he got in, he drove the car to where he was going to take her.
Leo can’t help but feel jealous. He’s excited to wake up early to cook for Rhianna. But that effort became meaningless when Brandon arrived. He still thought Rhianna would refuse. But he was wrong. He’s disgusted! He’s very upset.
Because of the annoyance, jealousy, and mixed emotions he feels. He clenched his fist and punched the wall. That resulted in a wound on his fist. Blood was dripping on his hand. Even the wall was stained with his blood. He tore off the clean rag on the side and tied it in his fist. It hurts, but the pain he feels now is even more painful than this.
He got five beers from the fridge and went to the room to get drunk. He wants to somehow get rid of the pain he’s feeling right now. And only beer can help him now. He went to the room and put the five beers on the floor. He immediately opened a bottle and drink it.
He just did this to a girl. Just now. When Carmela and he were together. He wasn’t even hurt when they separated. He was a playboy. But that changed when he became an agent. Even against the will of his parents, he pursues his dream.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He immediately finished a bottle of wine. He’s still a little dizzy. He’s going to get drunk now. He can’t imagine Rhianna and Brandon being together right now. Alcohol will help him to forget them.
