Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 315

In the elevator, several bodyguards surrounded Brett.

Orlena squeezed herself against the edge of the elevator, looking frail after just having had her stomach pumped due to an overdose of sleeping pills.

She tried her hardest to get closer to Brett. The bodyguards, all looking menacing, blocked her way, leaving her looking rather pitiful.

Donny, watching the scene, couldn't help but laugh.

Brett spoke up, "Let her through."

A path was cleared, and Orlena managed to squeeze her way next to Brett. She stuck her tongue out at the bodyguards, a playful act that was rather adorable.

Brett couldn't help but think back to the baby bottle in her bag. His lips curled up into a light smile.

His previously weary body suddenly felt much more relaxed. He thought to himself, was this the magic of young girls? The ability to make one feel completely at ease.

Brett's hotel suite was grand, covering an area of about 300 square meters. Inside, there was even a mini gym.

As busy as he was, he ordered food to be brought up once inside. Donny immediately went to arrange it.

In less than half an hour, a table full of rich Southern-style food was wheeled in by the chef. Still engrossed in his documents, Brett casually said, "Young girls these days love spicy food, don't they? You don't mind, do you?"

Orlena hurriedly shook her head. "No, no, not at all."

The three of them ate together. It was clear that Donny was Brett's right-hand man, and he knew how to keep the atmosphere light during meals, often cracking jokes.

Orlena wasn't used to spicy food. After a few bites, the spice hit her throat, and her eyes became even more red. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She poked at the poached fish in her bowl and whispered in protest, "Why do we have to eat in the hotel suite? The spicy smell is going to linger forever."

Hmph, what a load of crap about young girls loving spicy food. It was clear that Brett himself loved spicy food.

Brett had noticed this earlier but didn't say anything. The sight of her face turning red from the spice was rather amusing. He gave Donny a look.

Donny understood and said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Brett can't exactly dine out due to his status. Seems like you're not a fan of this dish. I'll order something else for you."

Orlena's eyes welled up with tears. "I want fried chicken and smoothie."

"I used to have it all the time when Eloise made it for me." She added.

She brought up Eloise. Brett chuckled lightly. This silly girl wasn't completely clueless after all. He quietly ordered Donny, "Get her some fried chicken and smoothie."

Donny was quite surprised. Mr. Brett was never this indulgent with others. People usually catered to him, not the other way around.

Regardless, the fried chicken and smoothie were soon served.

Orlena sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, thoroughly enjoying her food. Brett never ate much, which was why he could maintain his physique and charm even after being in the business world for nearly 20 years.

He just sat there, watching the strikingly beautiful young girl. She was well taken care of by the Horigan family.

Just yesterday, she had swallowed pills, and not too long ago, she was arguing with her ex-fiancé. But now, she was happily munching on fried chicken, completely carefree.

Brett felt a tinge of jealousy.

The table was cleared, and Donny leaned in to whisper, "Mr. Brett, the person is here. Do you want to see them now?"

Brett nodded.

Donny seemed a little hesitant. "Should we move to the study?"

Brett thought for a moment. "No, let's stay here. It's nothing too important."

Orlena heard them talking. She swung her legs and said cheerfully, "Brett, you go ahead with your work. We can talk about our stuff later."

Donny couldn't help but laugh. What could this little girl possibly have to discuss with Mr. Brett...

Brett didn't respond.
