Brittany Oakley’s hand paused in mid-air.
Then she turned around and smiled at Alexander.
"Okay, we’ll do it your way."
She went to the office table, put down the bag, and opened it.
Inside was a big lunch box.
"I know you forget about everything when you work.That includes eating."
She picked up the coffee cup in front of him, then poured away its contents.
"Drinking coffee without a proper meal isn’t good for your stomach.
You don’t know how to take care of yourself, do you?"
As she said that, she opened the lunchbox.
Nestled within it was hot food.Not only was the color of the food attractive, but it also smelled
mouthwatering.
" cooked your favorite BBQ ribs.I also made fried chicken."
Full of enthusiasm, she placed some cutleries in front of him.
With both hands supporting her chin, she looked at him with a yearning expression.
Alexander shot her a look and said faintly, "You cooked all this?"
"Yes.Quick, sample my handiwork.Go on," Brittany urged.She smiled so wide that her eyes turned into
slits.
"You cooked?"
Alexander repeated, but it was a rhetorical question.His cold eyes bore a hole into her as if trying to
read her thoughts.
Pouting, Brittany stood up and stomped her feet.
"Fine.I got takeout from Cloudy.I just got off a plane and didn’t have much time, alright? I’m still jet-
lagged and exhausted.Even if I wanted to cook, I had no time to buy the ingredients."
"I never said you have to cook."
Alexander put the lid back on the lunch box and pushed it aside.
"Since you’re tired, you should go home and get some rest.Not come here."
"T wanted to see you."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Brittany got angry when she saw him push the lunch box aside
without taking a bite.
"Even if I didn’t cook it, I did buy it.Why won’t you just try some? Don't you like the food from Cloudy’s?"
"I’m not hungry," Alexander said faintly, "It's late. I'll get Edward to send you home."
"I don’t want to go home."
Brittany furrowed her brows and said unhappily, "If you don’t like takeout, let’s go out and eat.I'll go with
you."
Brittany went forward and held onto his wrist.
"We could go for a late-night meal, Alex.Let’s go!" she said coquettishly.
As soon as she got off the plane, she immediately went to get him some food so that she would have
an excuse to see him sooner.
Why would she leave so soon? She just got there.No way.She wanted to stay a little longer.
"Brittany, that’s enough." Alexander prised her fingers off of him.
"It’s late.You must be tired from your flight.Go home and rest."
"I don’t want to!"
Brittany lost her temper when she saw Alexander’s insistence on sending her away.
"You know that I just got off a plane.Aren’t you happy to see me? We haven’t met in half a year.I went
to get you food as soon as I got back, yet you don’t appreciate it? You’re even trying to drive me away!"
"It’s already late out.It’s not safe for a girl to be out alone." Alexander frowned.
"Next time, don’t stay out until so late.It’s not a good habit."
"What's so bad about it? I like you, and the whole world knows it.I just wanted to see you!" Brittany
shouted.
The office staff would have heard her confession if they were still around.
Alexander looked up at her.
"But I don’t like you that way.Brittany, as I said before, you’re like a sister to me.If that’s not how you
see our relationship, don’t say I’m like a brother to you either."
The Oakleys and the Russells were good family friends.
The older generation had good relations with one another.The old man of the Russells owed the
Oakleys a favor.
Because of that, the two families were close.They had even merged their families through marriage.
Brittany’s uncle married Alexander’s aunty.So to a certain extent, they were related.
