NovelOnlineChapter 273 Upon seeing his serious expression, I looked at his face intently. He was mature, composed, and handsome.
A man his age couldn't be compared to a young guy ke Yerrick. The term old man was a compliment, suggesting his mature charm.
Wasn't the old man complex all the rage now? All women, young or married, and even girls liked mature like Brandon.
However, since he was so sensitive, he didn't realize how valuable that title was. someone I took a step closer to him. "The truth is, you're already in your 30s, so you're not exactly young anymore. Especially compared to that brat earlier, who's not even 18 yet. So, there's nothing wrong with him calling you an old man. Plus..." "Do you think I'm old too?" Brandon interruptedbefore I could finish. His mood seemed to have dropped, and he looked upset.

What I mean is that you're not that young anymore, but I didn't-" Before I could finish my sentence, Brandon cutoff again, "Anyone can say I'm old, but not you." I was speechless. Seeing him so upset and frustrated, I laughed suddenly. "Brandon, are you being Insecure and afraid that I'll think you're old? Or do you think I leave you because of your age?" Brandon didn't say anything. He was just sulking in silence, which was rather amusing. I couldn't help but reach up to touch his face.
"Con. Don't worry. I don't mind that. In fact, I'm drawn to your maturity. Otherwise, why would I turn down that brat earlier? He's as fresh as they come, right?" Brandon still didn't respond, so I kept touching his face.
It was the first tI realized that older men could be so hard to cheer up. He was so different from Chris. Whenever. I made a mistake, all I had to do was apologize, and that would be the end of it.
But Brandon, on the other hand, was like a stubborn child, not easy to please at all. So, I decided to go all out. I stood on my tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss.
"Is that better?" Without waiting for a reply, I turned to leave. But I suddenly felt an arm tighten around my waist as Brandon pulledback.
His strength remindedof last night when he heldtightly while we moved together. I felt my throat going dry.
Bran "Ms. Crown, didn't you say we should interact as colleagues at work? Why are you getting so touchy-feely with me?" He... He was clearly taking advantage of the situation while pretending to be innocent.
1 could see through his cunningness. He was just acting clueless in front of me. When Yerrick taunted him about being weak, he responded in a way that showed he understood that meaning perfectly well. This guy was just playing dumb to gain the upper hand. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, what more could I say? I huffed at him. "Brandon, cut it out." He didn't say more, so I turned to leave.
"Let's have lunch together," he called out as I was stepping out the door.

I didn't respond, but as soon as I stepped out, I bumped into Xander.

"Ms. Crown, let's have lunch together.

"Mr. Roulder," I called out to Xander just as he was about to entero m Brandon's Office He stopped and smiled at me. "What can I do for you, Ms. Crown?" "When I joined the company, I don't recall you hosting a welclunch for me." As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the corners of Xander's mouth twitch.
