I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121: Always By Your Side

When Sandy heard Allan's words, she let out a slight hum, "My Brandon is nothing like you stingy! And what's wrong with having hot pot with Anthony? We're friends. Can't we have a meal together?"

As she spoke, Sandy leaned a bit closer to Allan and spoke in a hushed voice only they could hear, "Allan, I have a secret here. Do you want to hear it?"

Upon hearing Sandy's words, Allan's first thought was about Reed.

However, after meeting Sandy's gaze, Allan became uncertain.

With her sly eyes fixed on Allan, Sandy's words made him a bit anxious, "What secret?"

"Are you sure you want me to say it in front of Reed? Aren't you worried he might get angry?"

Originally, due to Sandy's gaze, Allan was already unsure. After Sandy's question, his uncertainty grew.

He even felt a bit panicked.

"I haven't done anything to upset Reed, so why should I be afraid?" Allan feigned calmness.

Sandy smiled and moved closer to Allan, "Yesterday morning, who did you meet?"

When Allan heard this, his expression immediately changed.

It wasn't because he had done something that upset Reed, but because the person he had met earlier was someone he knew from being around Nealon. He had a favor to ask, and they had worked together closely when they were both at Nealon's side. Since they had spent quite some time together, they really had no significant connection. After all, Reed was the one who occupied his thoughts.

However, the other person had expressed their feelings, whether intentionally or not. So, there might be some misunderstanding in some of their behaviors.

After a brief silence, Allan cleared his throat, "Miss Thompson, I also believe Mr. Hawkins isn't petty. If you'd like, I'll join you for hot pot today, and if you ever want hot pot again, I'll be there at your call."

Sandy raised an eyebrow, "Alright."

Reed glanced at Sandy's face, obviously curious about what Sandy had just talked about.

But Sandy suddenly stopped and didn't continue. Naturally, Reed didn't press her further.

However, it was clear that Reed's mind wasn't fully engaged for the rest of the time.

Allan noticed, and so did Sandy.

"Reed, have some of this," Sandy offered Reed a dish, leaning over slightly to whisper, "Don't worry, Allan definitely hasn't done anything to upset you. If you're curious about what just happened, you can ask Allan. But I think if Allan doesn't want you to know, then it's probably not important. He can handle it, and he doesn't want you to worry."

After hearing Sandy's words, Reed nodded slightly, "I know, I trust him."
