NovelEnglishChapter 284 Brandon looked at me, and I could feel his nervousness.
It seemed he was feeling guilty.
As expected, no man was truly indifferent when it cto the woman he loved.
Seeing Brandon's rare nervous expression madesmile inwardly as I deliberately kept a serious expression.
I stood in front of him without saying a word. Brandon moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but he seemed to be debating whether he should.
For someone usually so straightforward, seeing him hesitate like this made him seem like a child who had done something wrong and didn't know what to do.

"Mae..." I reached out, took the milk he had prepared for me, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek. "Thank you.
After that, I started walking out of the house while calling over my shoulder, "Grab my bag." Brandon followedall the way downstairs. He was visibly relaxed now.
When we reached the car, I switched things up and headed to the passenger side instead. Then, I tossed the car keys to Brandon and said, "You drive." He took the wheel while I settled into the passenger seat, leisurely drinking the warm milk he had made while enjoying the music. I felt more relaxed and at ease than ever before.
As we were nearing the company, Brandon suddenly pulled over by a bus stop.
"What's the matter?" I asked him.
"Didn't you say we shouldn't let our colleagues know about our relationship? I thought it'd be better if I got off here to avoid any misunderstandings in case they see us together." Brandon's reminder caughtShouldn't he be the one forgetting such things? Yet here he was, reminding me.
What did this mean? Suddenly, I thought about how the other women at the company had admired and swooned over Brandon after he dealt with Yerrick. My mood soured instantly.
"Brandon, are you worried that being withwill hurt your chances of attracting other women at the company?" I accused, feeling unreasonable.
"Of course not!" Brandon denied it immediately.
Treached over and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Mr. Howell, please get out of the car." Brandon held my hand and said, "Mae, let's be reasonable." Deep down, I knew I was being unreasonable.
I was the one who asked him to keep a low profile at work, and he was simply following my request, but now I was getting upset about it. Women were stränge and troublesome. I could even feel it myself.

Chris, on the other hand, was different.
When we were together, I rarely joked because he couldn't tell when I was.
Even if he knew I was joking. He often read int it and thought I meant something else. It was frustrating. Over time, I stopped joking with him altogether. Now, I find myself constantly comparing him with Brandon.
It was inevitable, considering both men had been a significant part of my life.
As they said, there was no harm without comparison. Comparing Brandon and Chris, realized where the differences between men lie. I also learned that every relationship was different. "Good morning, Mr. Howell!" "Good morning. Ms. Crown!"
