NovelEnglishChapter 108 Rewardingwith a lollipop, did Brandon think I was a child? I was about to call him childish, but he had already pushed the lollipop into my hands. He took swater for himself and even brought my cup over as well. He sat on a chair and patted the spot beside him. "Take a rest." Why did I need to rest? I didn't even do anything except handle messy affairs. Nevertheless, since Brandon was sitting, I sat as well. Without him, I couldn't do any work even if I wanted to. Suddenly, I felt as if he was somehow manipulating me.
"You were so fierce just now," Brandon said.
I drank swater. "Was I?" "Yes. It was scary." I tilted my head quizzically at him He nodded and continued, "It's true." For sreason, he looked very charming like this.
