“It‘s delicious! Did you buy it from Tanner‘s Bakery? Their cakes are unbelievable! No one else could
compare! Hey, I‘m serious! I wouldn‘t lie to you. Do you want to take a bite?
He dug out a piece with a spoon and held it near her mouth.
Brittany avoided it with a look of disgust. Brandon shook his head and asked, “How could you reject
this?!”
He continued to eat, and seeing that the cake was half eaten, she asked calmly, “Brandon, have you
met with Alex recently?”
“No!” He buried himself in the cake and occasionally freed his mouth to drink the macchiato.
“There haven‘t been any new projects to work with lately. He‘s busy, and I‘m busy as well. You know
how he is. It‘s difficult to even call him out for a drink. You see him more than I do, anyways. What‘s
up?
After saying that, he felt something was wrong and suddenly raised his head, “What do you want to
say?”
“It‘s nothing. I just wanted you to help me find something out.”
She smiled with a harmless and innocent look. It sounded simple and easy, but Brandon knew the red
velvet in front of him was a trap. He choked.
“You had something up your sleeve!” Putting down the spoon, he said through gritted teeth. He hated
himself for being greedy and for falling into her traps. He knew there was no free lunch in the world, but
he could not control his cravings. “Don‘t say it like that!” Brittany said as she tilted her head, “It‘s not a
big deal. I haven‘t seen you and Alex for a long time! I just wanted to meet and chat!”
“Besides, didn‘t you say there are no new projects to cooperate with recently? Then it‘s good to meet
up. Maybe there‘ll be an opportunity soon. We‘re killing two birds with one stone! I‘m so smart!” She
clapped her hands together and said rather proudly.
Bradon immediately felt that she was up to no good. He lost his appetite with the cake, threw the spoon
away, and wiped his mouth with a tissue, “Tell me, what do you want to do? Do you want to go with
me?”
Brittany nodded slightly.
“That‘s bribery!” With a light snort, he slowly picked up the cup of macchiato and stuffed the straw into
his mouth,” Why do you still need help with this anyway? You‘re very skilled in running to him by
yourself. Can‘t you just find him on your own? Did he issue a restraining order against you?”
After knowing what was going on, he felt relieved and teased her.
She rolled his eyes at him, “That‘s cruel! I‘m asking you to help because it‘s not so convenient for me.”
“What are you afraid of?” He almost choked on his own laugh, “You already know so many of his
deepest childhood secrets, like when he wet his bed, when he...” Under Brittany‘s vicious gaze, he
swallowed the word abruptly, shrank his neck, and said, “Anyway, what do you want me to do?”
“I just want to know if he is really engaged,” Brittany said bluntly.
“What?” This time, he choked so hard that he spit out the macchiato in his mouth, and his shirt was full
of stains.
Brandon hurriedly stood up and wiped off the excess. He then shook his head repeatedly, “Brittany, are
you crazy? Where did you hear this rumor? Who‘s engaged? Alex? Are you kidding me?”
