Chapter 272
Brandon’s tone was quite polite, but it sounded like an order from a superior to me, but I knew he wasn’t calling me for work–related matters.
Just yesterday he had questioned me about the flowers that a young guy sent, and now he had personally witnessed something again. Was he going to interrogate me further?
At that moment, I realized that having a boyfriend was like looking for trouble for myself. If I hadn’t been involved with Brandon, I could have just brushed off Yerrick’s pursuit without any further complications.
But now, I had to deal with Brandon too. No man was truly magnanimous after all.

His office wasn’t far from mine. It was decorated simply but filled with various equipment. Besides the standard desk, chair, and computer, there were numerous electronic devices that I didn’t recognize but assumed were worth the three million annual salary.
As I was looking around, I heard the door close behind me. My chest tightened slightly, and I turned to greet him formally.

Brandon looked at me and asked, “Did you have breakfast?”
His gaze was intense, and every time I made eye contact with him, my heart would race uncontrollably After what happened last night, I felt even more self–conscious facing him directly.
I wandered over to his equipment, examining it as I replied, “I did.”
“Didn’t I tell you to rest today? Why did you come to work?” Brandon’s question made me freeze.
