In the south of New York.
The sky here was azure, and the waters were clear. It was the land of happiness and promise.
Savanna held the design drawing of the resort and stood on the waters of a bay, looking at the east
and thinking. She was thinking about how to turn the land under her feet into a beautiful village and
make money.
It was raining. On the muddy road, Savanna walked slowly. The rain soon soaked her clothes.
She placed her hand on her forehead but was unable to stop the rain from falling into her eyes.
She was about to find a place to hide from the rain when a small car drove over in the rain. Savanna
was overjoyed. She reached out to stop the car. The car drove past her and the water splashed on her
clothes and pants. Fortunately, she turned her face away. Otherwise, the dirty water would splash into
her mouth.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The whistle pierced through the rain and constantly echoed in Savanna’s ears. Savanna raised her
head and saw the car stop in front of her. She was overjoyed and quickly ran to it. She opened the door
and sat in.
“Thank…”
She was stunned before she could finish saying the last word “you”.
Because she saw the man in front of her was Brandon.
Savanna was so surprised that she could not speak. She thought, well, I’m so unlucky.
Brandon did not look at her. There was a notebook on his long legs. At this point, he was looking at the
screen. His slender fingers were tapping on the keyboard as if he was handling official business.
It seemed that there was always an oppressive aura as long as Brandon was there.
Savanna said the last word “you”, but she said it in a very low voice, which was hard to hear.
If she had known that it was Brandon’s car, she would not have gotten in. In her impression, Brandon’s
car was a black Cayenne. However, how could a person like Brandon only have one car?
Jim glanced at Savanna through the mirror before, and then, he focused on driving. It was very quiet in
the car, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
At first, Savaria was very nervous. Gradually, she seemed to adapt to the tense atmosphere.
Perhans she was too tired she leaned against the car and fell asleep.
At first, Savanna was very nervous. Gradually, she seemed to adapt to the tense atmosphere. Perhaps
she was too tired, she leaned against the car and fell asleep.
In her dream, she seemed to see Brandon stopping what he was doing. He took the towel from Jim and
wiped her wet hair. His warm fingertips inadvertently touched her skin, making her body tremble
slightly. She heard Brandon’s low voice. It seemed that he was blaming her.
“Silly girl. You didn’t even bring an umbrella.”
Savanna was too sleepy. Her eyelids fluttered but did not open. She fell asleep again.
She was woken up by a gust of warm wind. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Brandon was
still sitting next to her. He was looking at the notebook intently. As the blue light shone on his face, his
outline turned clear and exquisite. In terms of attractiveness, few men in New York could compare to
Brandon.
At first, she was attracted by Brandon’s face, and later, she slowly fell in love with him.
There’s a popular saying on the Internet, that was, true love came after one was attracted by a
person’s appearance, fell for his or her talent, and finally, was faithful to the person because of his or
her personality.
Seeing that Brandon was seriously typing on the keyboard, Savanna secretly laughed at herself. Sure
enough, everything is a dream. How could he possibly dry the hair for me. But, why are my hair and
clothes dry?
Suddenly, she realized that it must be the heater in the car which dried her hair and clothes.
“Ms. Thompson, where are you going?”
Jim turned back and asked her.
Savanna said, “Just put me down at the Pudding Hotel in front of us.”
Jim stepped on the accelerator and the car sped forward. In the blink of an eye, the hotel was right in
front of them. Savanna thanked Jim and got out of the car. She immediately ran into the lobby of the
hotel.
The receptionist saw her and smiled, “Miss, renewal?”.
“Yes,” Savanna replied as she lowered her head to look for the room card in her bag.
When she first got out of the hotel, the room fee was paid per day. But today, she was delayed and
came back late,
“Miss, because the time renewal was over, your room had been booked by others.”
The receptionist said that to Savanna politely.
Brandon had just opened the door with his card and entered the room when Savanna went in from
behind him. Brandon swept a glance over and saw Savanna taking off her clothes rack from the side
of the cabinet. She swiftly took off the underwear on the clothes rack. It was as pink as before.
Brandon’s heart beat slightly faster when he saw it.
“Don’t look at it.”
Seeing that Brandon was staring at the clothes in her hands, Savanna blushed with shyness, and she
hoped that she could leave right now.
Although she and Brandon had been a couple for two years, most of their days were spent in a stiff and
cold atmosphere. Savanna would always tidy up her personal belongings and never let Brandon
see them. She felt that it was better to keep a little mystery between a couple.
Men would be bored unless there was space left for them to imagine.
“Which part of your body have I not seen?”
Savanna’s face turned even redder when she heard Brandon’s words. She was so embarrassed. She
casually put the panties into her backpack and turned to leave. Brandon’s cold voice came from
behind.
“Are you here for the Peach Blossom Resort?”
Savanna replied with a “yes”.
Brandon stared at Savanna.
Brandon asked, “Didn’t Justin come with you?”
Brandon thought, she came to such a remote place alone. Isn’t she afraid of encountering ruffians or
something? What if something bad happens?
“No.”
Savanna really wanted to say that this had nothing to do with Brandon, but since the Thompson Group
and the Cassel Group had signed a contract for cooperation, she did not want to offend Brandon again.
She just wanted to let the bygones be bygones.
“Where is your first love? Didn’t he come with you?”
Upon hearing that, Savanna suddenly felt that something was wrong. She thought, why did Brandon’s
words sound so envious?
Savanna said, “Can I think that you are jealous?”
Brandon smiled, his eyes cold.

Savanna said, “Can I think that you are jealous?”
Brandon smiled, his eyes cold.
“You really think too highly of yourself.”
“That’s true,”Savanna replied cynically, “how could someone like you get jealous because of me? You
wish I was dead, don’t you?”
Brandon thought, if that’s the case, why did I give you the project?
Stupid woman.
Do you think that you can get this project without my support and the opportunity I gave you? Think of
your Thompson Group’s strengths carefully.
Brandon would not say these words. He was a proud man. Moreover, he was a person with extremely
strong self-esteem.
“Yes.”
Brandon’s voice was clear and cold.
“I want you to die, and I want to burn your bones and scatter your ashes. I don’t want to see you, but
you keep coming to me. What do you want? I had given you a sum of money when we divorced, hadn’t
I?”
Brandon mocked when he saw that Savanna did not speak.
“What? You want to seduce me again, just like two years ago. Unfortunately, I, Brandon, will not fall for
your trap again.”
Hearing Brandon’s harsh words, Savanna was irritated. She glared at Brandon, her gaze sharp as a
sword. “If that day comes, I would rather sleep with anyone but you.”
“That would be the best.”
Brandon’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He held Savanna’s clothes and pushed her out of the door.
Brandon gritted his teeth.
He said, “Get out.”
With a bang, the door closed behind Savanna, Brandon closed the door so fiercely that the door almost
hit Savanna,
