Chapter 23

A flashy pink shirt, light gray slacks, white leather shoes, and a Rubik's cube in his hand made him look
like a complete playboy.It was no other than Frank.

Hearing the sound, Frank looked over and became serious in an instant.

"Olivia, you're finally here." Olivia put down her bag and looked at him.

"What happened?"

So serious.Frank threw down the Rubik's cube and strode over, holding her slender shoulders.

"Who was that man last night?"

"Did he bully you?"

As he spoke, his eyes scanned her like a radar.Olivia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.She thought it
was important for him to wait here early in the morning, but it turned out to be this.

"Do you think he was capable of doing such things?" She took Frank's hands away and went to make
coffee.

Frank followed behind her, very serious.

"Yes, Olivia, you don't even know the way he looks at you.Like a wolf looking at a lamb, it seems as if
he wants to eat you alive!"

"I've never looked at you that way."

Olivia paused, turned her head, and said seriously, "Frank, he's a friend like a family of mine, and
nothing else."



"Really?" Olivia smiled leisurely.

"Are you sure you want to waste your time on this meaningless subject?"

"Well, it's a good thing you don't love him.If you do, I'll be devastated""

After Frank went away, Olivia shook her head and smiled, and started working.

It was summer, and the autumn outfits for DF Company had to be designed as soon as possible.

In the past two years, the national style was popular.

She was going to start with this and add some modern elements, which could be worn out without
being too conspicuous and abrupt.

Pretty soon, Olivia was lost in the work that she was unaware it was already noon.

"Still busy?" Olivia was startled by the familiar voice and looked up.

"Senior?"

It was no other than Brayden.He stood in front of her desk, wearing light color, white- skinned, with
thick eyebrows and big gentle eyes, like a gentle young man.

"I've been waiting for you downstairs for a long time.You didn't come down, so I came up."

He put one hand in his pocket, his mouth curved slightly, and his smile was like a spring breeze.

Olivia was surprised.

Looking at the time, she realized it was noon.She was helpless.

"You could have waited up here.’ Brayden blinked.



"I would have disturbed you if I had.But it's noon, I'm not afraid to disturb you now." Olivia was helpless.

What he said always made her unable to refute.

"Let's go.I've booked the restaurant"

"Okay."

Brayden booked a Japanese-style restaurant, which was elegant and comfortable, suitable for busy
people.He gave the menu to Olivia.

"The salmon here is good.You should try it."

"Sure." Olivia ordered a salmon and another dish and gave him the menu back.

Brayden knew her taste and ordered two more, both of which Olivia liked.

The waiter left.

Brayden stared at Olivia and couldn't get enough of it.

"Have you been busy lately?" Olivia poured some tea and took a sip.

"Yes, it's summer now.It's autumn in a few months.I have to prepare a new autumn style."

"Don't overwork yourself." His heart ached when he saw her lose some weight again.

"Don't worry, I like work."

She gave a gentle smile, her eyes curved, and her face was beautiful.She wore light makeup, not
gorgeous, very natural, comfortable, a pair of eyes especially beautiful, seeming to be dyed with dense
spring water, so loveable.



"Take care of yourself even if you do.If I hadn't come today, would you not eat on time again?"

He knew that she liked to work, but he also knew that she often ignored eating regularly because of
work.

Olivia knew she couldn't fool Brayden, so she said directly, "Isn't it better to eat whenever you're
hungry?"

Brayden shook his head.

"If you do this again, I'll have to eat with you every day.’ The two of them chatted as the food was
served.

Halfway through the meal, Brayden's phone rang.He took the phone and took a glance, his eyes filled
with helplessness.

"Excuse me."

"Sure." Brayden got up and went out.

"Mom."

"Brayden, didn't you say you came back yesterday? Why aren't you home?"

"I'm outside"

"Well, then you have fun.Come back early and mom will make you something delicious.”

Two years ago, Brayden came to H City.Belle was worried about him and followed him here.

In case he felt being watched, she lived separated from him and went to see him from time to time.



This time Brayden came back, Belle also knew, but yesterday she knew that he had just returned home
very late, so she did not bother him and waited to go to his place today.

She thought her son would be at home to rest because of the jetlag, but she didn't expect not to find
him there.

"Okay"

Brayden was helpless about Belle's fondness but expressed no objection afterall.

He knew this was just the way her mother showed her care for him.

Hanging up the phone, he was about to go back to the box, but behind him came a familiar voice,
"Brayden?"

Brayden turned around, and Melody stood not far behind him with Everett arm in arm.
