Chapter 251 Courtesy Demands Reciprocity
She answered, “He’s my cousin.”
The waitress found Deirdre’s answer reasonable. She wrapped her arm around
Deirdre’s arm and said, “Does this cousin of yours have a girlfriend? Do set me up with him.”
“He does,” Deirdre answered smilingly, afraid that a different answer would cause Sam trouble.
The waitress was disappointed. “The piano is here. Someone will tell you when to start performing. I’ll
get a move on if there’s nothing else.”
Deirdre did not notice the waitress’ coldness because she was distracted by her love for playing the
piano. The piano was much better than the one at the cafe, and she attempted to play it. She received
quite a number of compliments after a day.
She smiled more, and her expression became lively. Sam was distracted by the sight of her and only
recovered from the surprise after a while and took Deirdre back to the villa.
She asked before she headed upstairs, “Sam, is the light in Brendan’s study still on?”
“Yes, it’s on.”
Deirdre clenched her fists tightly in secret. She felt grateful that Brendan had
changed his mind about letting her get a job, no matter the reason he had, so she still needed to
express her gratitude to him.
She placed her hand on the door of the study to knock, yet the door opened up. It was not shut or
locked, and it seemed as if the door was specifically opened for her.
She entered the room with her face glowing. “Are you there, Brendan?”
Brendan was sitting by the door. He had been waiting there since Sam had parked the car in the yard.
He did not answer Deirdre’s question, but she could hear him. breathing. A look of gratitude and joy
appeared in her eyes.
“Thank you for allowing me to get a job. Even though I have no idea what made you agree, I’m very
happy about that. I’m very, very happy.”
Her joy was not feigned but she did not show it on her face.
Brendan’s expression changed. The anxiety he had felt in his chest the whole day suddenly vanished,
and his thin lips parted to say, “Come here.”
Deirdre walked forward. She was not accustomed to the layout of the study, so she stretched out her
arms to feel her way around the room. Brendan grasped her hand instinctively and refrained from
pulling her into his arms. Instead, he placed a book in her hand.
“What is this?”
Deirdre did not understand what was happening. She touched the book in her hand. cautiously, and her
entire body turned stiff the very moment she opened the book. and touched the page with her fingers.
It was a book of braille sheet music. As soon as Deirdre’s fingers felt the braille cells, the musical notes
emerged in her mind as if they were alive.
“I found it at an auction today and figured that you’d like it.”
Deirdre’s chest was flooded with a torrent of emotions. She bit her lower lip tightly, but before she could
say thank you, Brendan interrupted.
“Don’t thank me, Deirdre. I told you that you never need to say ‘thank you’ in this relationship.”
Deirdre shut her eyes and opened them again. The wood-carved book suddenly felt extremely heavy.
“You must have spent a lot of money on this, right?”
Since it had been sold at an auction, the book had to be a collector’s item, so it must have been
shockingly costly.
Brendan said nonchalantly, “Money is not important as long as an item is
meaningful. After all, courtesy demands reciprocity. I accepted the cufflinks, so l should return your gift
with a gift.”
‘Cufflinks?’
Deirdre felt her heart racing as she remembered the gift that had been too inferior to show in public.
“Did you take them?”
Brendan did not answer the question. On the contrary, he held her hand and guided it to his right
sleeve.
There was a tinge of coldness radiating from the sleeve toward her hand. Deirdre said in a shaky voice,
“You… are wearing them, huh?”
“Hmm, you have a good taste in cufflinks. Quite a number of people complimented them during the
auction.”
Deirdre pursed her lips tightly. She knew that the people who had complimented Brendan had not
complimented the cufflinks but Brendan himself,
How could influential people like them possibly find a cheap object like this attractive? She found it
even more unbelievable that Brendan would actually wear the cufflinks to a public event like that.
