"You have read the news now. Aren't you afraid that others will gossip about us if you come for me now?" Kate made fun of him.
"I'm never afraid of the gossip of others. Kate, in fact, I... " Compared with his usual gentle tone, Moore's tone was sort of firm. He looked at Kate quietly.
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by a knock at the door and Kate went to open the door.
This time, it was Brian.
Kate was just waiting for a while with Moore, but she was overwhelmed with joy as she saw Brian.
As soon as Brian pushed the door open, his face turned even colder at the sight of Moore sitting on the sofa. Standing next to him, Kate shivered with fear. She took a look at Moore and then at Brian, as she thought something bad might happen.
"Nice to meet you, Master. Li." Moore stood up and greeted to Brian naturally.
Brian nodded. Then he turned around, had a look at Kate, and calmly said: "I didn't expect to see Mr. Moore here."
But his voice didn't show any ups and downs.
"It never occurred to me that Master. Li would come to such a place." Moore also replied, with a gentle smile on his face.
One was cold and the other was gentle. Kate could feel the intense lightning and thunder between them. They were overbearing. Each of them had their own temperament.
"Cough, cough. Mr. Brian, this is my senior schoolmate when I was in college." Kate, who stood in the middle of them, made some dry coughs and said.
Brian nodded. He held Kate's hand and sat down in front of Moore.
For Moore, it was undoubtedly a provocation. His face went stiff. But soon, he looked as usual, and there was no gentle sign on his face.
There was an odd atmosphere among these three people, and Kate didn't know where to start.
"Kate, I'm leaving now. I will call you later," Moore stood up and looked at Kate with a smile.
Kate nodded, let go of Brian's hand, stood up and walked Moore to the door.
"See you next time." All of a sudden, Moore bent over and left a light kiss on Kate's forehead.
Kate was shocked and pushed him away. Then she felt that she had overreacted and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.
"This is probably the most intimate action that we have done for a long time in our relationship." Moore smiled. A kind of helpless and upset emotion flashed through his eyes. Kate pretended not to see it, said goodbye to him and closed the door.
Kate walked back and saw the coldness and gloom on Brian's face. She lowered her head with guilt.
Did he see everything at the door just now?
The next second, Brian stood up and dragged Kate into the washroom. He wiped her forehead with his hand which was just wiped by Moore. Kate was stunned and thought that this was not what the CEO would do.
"Don't have any dealings with him." Brian took out a tissue and wiped her forehead carefully. At the same time, he ordered coldly.
"Okay." Kate lowered her head and said in a low voice. But she felt a little sweet in her heart. She even grinned.
With a frown, Brian reached out and pinched her cheek, and coldly asked, "what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Kate stopped smiling immediately and said seriously.
The more Brian stared at her, the more he frowned.
"Mr. Brian, are you angry?" Kate looked at Brian cautiously and asked.
"No, I didn't." The answer was clear.
"Are you jealous?" Asked Kate.
Brian's face darkened as he heard the bad news. Turning to Kate, he said in a cold voice, "Ridiculous."
How could he be jealous? He just didn't like to see Kate and Moore together.
With her hands putting back, Kate followed Brian. Her arrogant boss would not admit it, even though he was angry. She could totally understand his concerns.
Back on the sofa, Brian looked around the messy room and finally fixed his eyes on Kate.
"Boss, the scandal online is fake." Kate took the initiative to clarify, while looking at Brian with her shining eyes.
"I know." Brian replied naturally without even blinking.
Kate was in a daze for a second, then she lowered her head and slowly sat down next to Brian. She felt so sweet in her heart.
"I'm hungry." Brian said casually.
After a while, Kate mumbled, "I don't know how to cook."
"……" Brian turned his head and looked at her gently.
