Chapter 673
“Please just leave with your girlfriend because my current attitude is not the best for socializing.” Brandon massaged his furrowed brow, and an unexplainable sense of irritability overtook him.
Frank’s grin widened as he leaned his arms against the window frame and quipped, “My, my, you’re getting prettier.”
Frustration consumed Brandon, causing his knuckles to whiten as he suffered ridicule. Luck was not on his side today.
“Frank, you’re talking excessively.” Brandon unbuttoned his suit jacket, preparing to exit the vehicle. “You know what? I have enough time today to discuss your romantic history with your girlfriend there.”
“Nope! Thank you.” Frank immediately pressed on the door and said, “I’ll just get my car and leave, okay? However, I must reiterate that you shall not encounter Natalie in this vicinity today.”
“What exactly do you mean?” Brandon said solemnly, squinting his eyes.
Frank coughed and waved at the woman behind him. The tall, slender woman was just as beautiful as a super model. She was donning a khaki cashmere overcoat and a pair of stiletto heels.
“This is Elizabeth, my girlfriend.” Frank introduced her to Brandon, believing he had never seen her before.
“We’ve met before.” Elizabeth never told Frank about how she met Brandon. She was reluctant to talk about it since it involved her ex-boyfriend, which was her worst nightmare. Brandon didn’t mention Jorge either since he saw Frank looking at her with affection in his eyes.
Elizabeth had not expected Brandon to visit the W Marks Studio. “Don’t bother waiting for Natalie. She has requested her annual leave and has gone home.”
Brandon instantly relaxed his clenched fists upon hearing that. “I didn’t know,” he said, with a self- mocking smile on his thin lips.
Elizabeth was caught off guard by Iris sudden distress. She asked in confusion, “Mr Wesley left work just now Haven’t you been waiting downstairs? He is our boss. You should have asked him “
However, given Brandon’s personality, it was possible he didn’t like interacting with others.
Brandon’s body froze when he heard that. Immediately, he realized Draco had pranked him
However, there was no major issue with Draco’s personality. Perhaps he only took this opportunity to prank Brandon because they didn’t like each other.
“You were pranked!” Frank smiled and wanted to tease him. “If it were the old Brandon, he would have taught Draco a lesson already.”
Elizabeth raised her elbow and hit Frank. “Hey, that is my boss you are talking about. Please be respectful to him.”
She worried because she thought it had been too long since Natalie and Brandon had argued. “Natalie had predicted that you would pick her up from work. Hence, she requested that 1 bring you a note.”
She took out a note from her bag and handed it to the man in the car.
Brandon opened the note. The words on it were pieced together from newspaper and magazine clippings. There was only one sentence telling him not to look for her. Natalie said she would take care of herself and not tell anyone she had left him lest it affected the Larson Group. She drew a face at the bottom of the note?
Brandon looked around, holding the note, and then gazed into the distance. He was looking for Natalie because he had a feeling she was nearby.
Frank had never seen such an anxious and nervous look in Brandon’s eyes.
Frank couldn’t help but sigh silently, knowing that whether it was after Brandon’s memory loss or in the past, this man would always fall for Natalie.
“I believe Natalie can look after herself You don’t have to worry.” Elizabeth was about to say something else when she was interrupted by Frank.
“Whatever you say now just won’t work. Let’s just give him some time to think about it. Babe, let’s go to have dinner.” Brandon got goosebumps when he heard the word ‘babe’ from Frank for the first time.
Elizabeth, blushing, quickly covered Frank’s mouth. She fixed her gaze on him, signalling him to shut up.
“Sorry.” Frank grinned happily, and he didn’t sound sorry at all. They then walked away. They quickly vanished from Brandon’s sight.
“I didn’t expect Frank to surpass me as a good lover.” Brandon sighed. He folded Natalie’s note and put it in his pocket.
“Mr. Larson, are we still going to Malus Bay5” Sean asked as he started the car.
“No, I’m going back to the company.” His eyebrows were relaxed as he stared out the window. He could tell Natalie’s rage was fading slowly but surely.
“Mrs. White wanted to know whether you would care to join them for dinner tonight.” The driver looked at Natalie in the rear-view mirror.
Sitting in the back seat, Natalie replied, “Tell my mother I’ll go and see her another day. 1 need to calm down first.” A message arrived from Elizabeth Natalie smiled sweetly, knowing that Brandon would get her note. She called Elizabeth.
“Why are you calling?” Elizabeth asked with a mischievous smile.
Natalie could tell that Elizabeth was smiling from the tone of her voice. Natalie faltered and chewed her bottom lip. “If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up,” Elizabeth threatened.
“Don’t hang up. I want to ask about Brandon, but it isn’t easy for me. How was he today?” Natalie asked. She tasted blood Why did she feel so nervous’ She wasn’t a teenager.
“He looked very sad, and I think he’s lost weight, if you’re worried about him, maybe it’s time to go back?” Elizabeth said, grinning.
Natalie couldn’t understand why she cared. He had lied to her. That was why she left in the first place. But now, even though Natalie had told Brandon not to look for her, she found herself worrying about him.
When Elizabeth told her that Brandon was sad, Natalie felt sorry. She didn’t want to make him sad.
But she had to teach him a lesson and make him pay for lying to her, otherwise, he would do so again. She had to stick to her plan.
