“Brian, I know I said the wrong thing. Please don’t be angry. I just want to say that I’m willing to do anything for you,” Whitney said, and then rushed towards Brian.
The next moment, the office door was pushed open and Valda’s voice sounded, “Brian…”
In the next moment, the sound abruptly stopped, and Valda stared in shock at the scene before her.
Whitney was clinging onto Brian, and the sight could easily be misinterpreted by others.
Upon seeing this, Whitney felt secretly pleased. If Valda really misunderstood, then it would be a good thing.
This will make Brian see that his girlfriend has absolutely no trust in him!
Thinking of this, Whitney intentionally bit her lip and quickly released her hands as if to avoid suspicion.
She turned her head and showed a timid expression to Valda, saying, “Miss Theller, please don’t misunderstand. I…I have nothing with Brian. I just came here today to talk to him for a few minutes.
What happened just now…it’s really not what you think…”
Her voice stuttered and her face showed a hint of panic, which usually made people think there was something going on even more.
At this moment, Brian’s face was incredibly pale, a fear rising from the depths of his heart and quickly filling his whole body.
Suddenly, he felt a hollow feeling in his heart, as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff and would fall into the abyss at any moment.
What would she think of the scene just now? Would she misunderstand? If she really did misunderstand, would she choose to break up with him again?
When the words “break up” flashed through his mind, the fear in his body became even more apparent.
“But…” He wanted to speak, to explain to her, but the sound that came out of his mouth was hoarse.
“Do you know what I’m thinking?” Valda looked at Whitney, a woman who looked like Grace and whom they had met before, so they could be considered acquaintances.
Whitney looked like a little maid, “Although I don’t know what Miss
Theller is thinking, I’m afraid you… you might misunderstand, but there really is nothing going on…”
“I didn’t misunderstand.” Valda smiled slightly, “I also know very well that there is nothing going on between you and Brian. Maybe you want something to happen, but
Brian definitely doesn’t!”
“You…” Whitney was taken aback, and Valda’s smile at the moment was particularly piercing to her!
“So, you really don’t need to explain anything to me. I won’t have any misunderstandings. I know better than anyone that there is nothing between you and Brian that isn’t completely innocent,” Valda said, walking over to Brian with a smile. “Brian, I bought some cakes from a popular online shop today and I wanted to bring them over for you to try.”
“You…really…” he murmured, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn’t get them out.
“I believe you,” she knew what he was going to say and said directly, “because I believe you really like me and I trust your character. Since you are my boyfriend now, you will not be involved with other women!”
Brian stared at the woman in front of him, his fear and worry gradually disappearing because of her words.
Her eyes were clear and pure, filled with trust towards him!
This is the woman he has fallen in love with, trusting him so much!
“Valda!” Brian hugged Valda tightly, burying his face deeply in her shoulder.
Her trust is so precious to him!
Whitney, who was standing beside them, looked embarrassed.
She felt like a clown who had dug a hole for Valda, but ended up making a fool of herself.
With a resentful grit of her teeth, Whitney left dejectedly. Staying here any longer would only bring further humiliation upon herself.
After a while, Brian finally let go of his embrace. Valda smiled at the man in front of her and said, “Okay, from now on, you also have to believe in me like I believe in you. Trust that I won’t misunderstand you!”
Her phoenix-like eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. After a long pause, he finally murmured,
“Okay.” He felt so lucky to have met someone like her.
Valda said, “Okay, let’s try the cake I bought.”
Just as she turned around to get the cake, she realized that Whitney was nowhere to be found.
She took out a cake from the cake box and handed it to him, saying “Here, try it out. I had a piece on my way here and it tasted pretty good.”
He took the cake and started eating it in small bites.
“Did you ask me what Whitney came to do earlier?” Brian asked abruptly.
She blinked her eyes and said, “Do you want me to ask?”
He suddenly didn’t know how to respond, and from her gaze, it was clear that she had no curiosity at all.
So Brian didn’t ask any further and said directly, “I’ll send Whitney back overseas and ask her not to stay in Emerald City anymore. I know she has some other thoughts about me, but I don’t have any feelings for her. It’s just because she…”
He paused, his throat feeling a bit dry, “It’s just because she looks a bit like Grace. When I saw her overseas, I didn’t want her to get into trouble, so I arranged for her to stay at the overseas branch and gave her a secretary position. I just didn’t expect her to suddenly come to Emerald City.”
He explained to her that he usually wouldn’t explain these things to others, even if others had any random guesses, he wouldn’t bother to explain.
But facing her, he took the initiative to explain, afraid that she would misunderstand something.
He didn’t want any misunderstandings between them.
“So, does she want to go back overseas?” Valda asked.
“If she’s willing, then I’ll have someone arrange a job for her at the overseas company where she can support herself. Of course, that job won’t be a secretary anymore, just some basic work. If she continues to stay overseas, then the company won’t arrange any work for her here,” Brian said.
“What if she stays in Emerald City but does something that will get her into trouble again, what will you do?” Valda asked.
“I won’t bother with her anymore,” Brian said. Arranging a job for Whitney overseas was already his greatest kindness to her.
“Really?”
“I don’t need to take responsibility for her life. I felt sorry for her because of her appearance, but that doesn’t mean I will continue to feel sorry for her,” Brian replied. “I won’t see her again in the future.”
Valda smiled again. Although she trusted Brian, his willingness to explain these things to her made her feel respected.
“Is the cake delicious?” she asked.
“It’s delicious,” he said.
“I’ll try it too. I’ve never tasted this flavor before,” she said, taking a small spoon and intending to take a bite of his cake.
However, he lifted his hand and directly grabbed the back of her head, took a small bite of the cake, and leaned towards her lips.
She widened her eyes in surprise, could it be that he… he doesn’t want to…
The cake had reached her lips, and she blushed. Her big round eyes sparkled as she finally took the cake that was handed to her.
She blushed even more as she swallowed it down.
“Is it delicious?” A clear and elegant voice sounded in her ear.
Valda blushed so much that it seemed like she was about to bleed, and quietly replied with two words, “It’s delicious.”
Brian smiled and said, “I think so too, it’s really delicious…” As he finished speaking, he kissed her lips.
On the other side, Whitney walked out of the Hart Group building with a heart full of anger.
She looks so much like Grace, with deliberate styling that makes her almost 90% similar, but… Brian still looks down on her and instead has taken a liking to Valda.
What did that woman do to Brian to make him admit on live television that she was his girlfriend?
Thinking about this, Whitney’s jealousy towards Valda deepened even more!
And now, what should she do? Does she really have to leave
Emerald City? Or maybe…
As Whitney was hesitating, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows and approached her. “It seems Miss. Cooper is also someone who has been abandoned. Would you be willing to talk to me?”
“You–” Whitney looked at the other person, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
“I think the two of us have at least one common goal, which is Valda. So, we should have a lot of things to talk about, right? If Valda is out of the picture, then maybe Brian will be yours,” the other person said again. “Anyway, my car is right here. Do you want to talk? It’s up to you to decide.”
After the other person finished speaking, they walked towards an inconspicuous black car.
Whitney stared at the other person’s back and after a while, finally bit her lip and followed…
As long as Valda was out of the picture, she could definitely take her place, become Brian’s girlfriend, and eventually become the Hart family’s lady!
In the following period of time, Valda spent almost every day studying English, except for her work on comics.
Whenever she spent time with Brian, he would communicate with her in English for simple daily conversations. At first, she stumbled a lot, but now she has improved a lot. Even if there were some conversations she couldn’t follow, she wouldn’t panic like she did at the beginning. She would use some other words to make up for
1.
However, Brian felt sorry for Valda. He saw that she had lost weight during this time, so he said, “Why don’t I find a translator to accompany you throughout the process, so you don’t have to work so hard to study English?”
“Wouldn’t that make me stand out too much?” Valda shook her head and said, “Those comic artists who are more qualified than me don’t have a personal translator with them. If I have one, would feel strange.”
“Then how about we go out and relax tomorrow since it’s the weekend?” Brian suggested.
“Tomorrow, I plan to go back to my high school.” Valda said,
“It’s my high school’s anniversary tomorrow, and I haven’t been there in a long time. I want to see my old school and my former teachers.”
“I’ll accompany you,” said Brian.
“Okay,” Valda responded.
The next day, Valda wore a blue casual outfit, while Brian wore a blue shirt paired with white casual pants.
Valda looked at them, and they looked like they were wearing matching couple outfits.
Brian drove towards Valda’s school while Valda talked about their high school days on the way.
“At that time, my art teacher in our class was very kind to me. Later on, I developed an interest in drawing comics, and it was also his encouragement,” Valda said. “At that time, many people only thought that drawing comics was not a serious job, but he encouraged me and said that since I had this talent, I should not easily give it up. While studying, I could also pay attention to comics. At that time, our art teacher had a partnership with a comic training institution outside of school. He talked to them and arranged for me to attend their classes for free.”
“So, in that case, I really have to thank you, teacher,” said Brian.
