“Stay and take care of me!”
Briana frowned, turning back to look at him with a cold expression,
“Maxim, I have my own things to deal with when I get back, would you mind letting go!”
“What’s going on, conspiring with Grayson to annoy me?!”
Briana: ”
Rayan on the side also hurriedly said, “Ms. Schneider, why don’t you stay here and help take care of Mr. Yoder? What if he gets a fever again at night?”
Briana turned to look at him, her expression indifferent as she said, “Aren’t you his secretary? I think it’s more appropriate for you to take care of him here.”
Rayan choked up and didn’t speak again.
Maxim’s eyes grew cold, he let go of Briana’s hand and said, “You can go now.”
Briana didn’t waste any words either, she turned around and left directly.
Maxim stared intently at her retreating figure, not taking his eyes off her until she disappeared into the bedroom doorway.
Sensing the temperature in the entire bedroom dropping rapidly, Rayan hurriedly said, “Mr. Yoder, I’ll stay in the living room. Call me if you need anything.”
“No need, you can go back.”
“But you here…”
“I was fine.”
Rayan could only nod, “Alright, call me anytime if anything comes up.”
“Mm–hmm.”
After Rayan left, Maxim looked down at his bandaged arm and couldn’t help but chuckle.
This woman said she would leave and she really did, she was truly
ruthless!
After leaving Maxim’s villa, Briana immediately took a cab back to Elm Bay.
When I got home, Madeline had already fallen asleep, and a wall lamp was left on for her in the living room.
She walked over to the sofa and sat down, staring blankly at the pattern on the carpet.
She hadn’t expected that Maxim would see through her and Grayson’s pretense at first glance.
And his subsequent actions made her even more confused.
Perhaps it was because I suddenly didn’t like him anymore, so he couldn’t accept it.
Anyway, it was impossible to like her, no matter what.
And even if he did like her, she could not possibly turn back, because
her affection for Maxim had already been exhausted through repeated disappointments.
I was worried when I saw him having a fever today, only because I didn’t want anything to happen to him because of me. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Realizing this, Briana’s mood improved significantly. She got up, went upstairs, took a shower, and went to sleep.
The next day, Briana asked Grayson out and apologized to him for what happened yesterday.
“Mr. Joyce, I’m sorry about what happened last night.”
Grayson chuckled softly, “Ms. Schneider, there’s no need to apologize. If you ever need my help in the future, I’m at your disposal.”
Briana shook her head, “It shouldn’t be necessary anymore, Maxim has already figured out that we’re faking it. There’s not much point in continuing the act.”
“Didn’t Ms. Schneider ever consider turning the fake into reality?”
Briana was taken aback by Grayson’s serious expression.
“What did that mean?”
“Ms. Schneider, actually, it was me who asked Melody to introduce me to you, because I really like you.”
No sooner had the words fallen than Briana hurriedly said, “Mr. Joyce, what kind of joke are you making?”
Shock was all over her eyes. She had made it clear to Grayson from the beginning that she just wanted someone to help with the acting. Grayson had agreed perfectly well, so why had he suddenly changed into a different person?
“I’m not joking, I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you.”
Briana’s eyes widened involuntarily, “The day before yesterday?”
Grayson shook his head, “No, we first met four years ago when
Melody was working at MY Corporation. I ran into you in the elevator when I came to pick her up one day after work. I fell in love with you
at first sight.”
Briana: “……‘
