After Alma left, Audrey thought for a while and called Bryson.
He answered the phone immediately.
"Ms. Audrey?"
"Hi, Mr. Bryson, sorry to bother you."
"It's okay. Something wrong?"
"I was just wondering, do you have time tonight?"
Bryson paused for seconds and said, "Yes."
"There is something I need to discuss with you. I made a reservation at a restaurant. Would you come
to see me later today?'
"Sure."
Audrey said guiltily, "OK. I'll send you the address and the room number."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Audrey felt even guiltier.
After all, she lied to him.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBryson received the message from Audrey.
Melvin happened to come in with a dozen documents, and ask him to sign.
"Cancel all the plans tonight," Bryson said.
Melvin's eyes opened wide in surprise.
"But Mr. Bryson, you made an appointment with Mr. Hyson from Hyson Group to talk about the contract
for next quarter. And a video meeting for this quarter..."
"Delay them all!"
"Uh, yes!"
"And I am gonna leave earlier today."
Melvin didn't know what to say.
...
The Cordova Mansion.
The chef of the Cordova Mansion had an emergency and couldn't cook for the family today. So Kylee
called Audrey. She bought groceries after work and went to the mansion.
Just as she was cooking, Kylee called Bryson.
Audrey was in the middle of cooking when she heard Kylee called him. She couldn't help but feel
nervous.
"You'll eat out tonight? OK, got it."
After hanging up the phone, Kylee said to Audrey, "Honey, Bryson won't have dinner with us tonight.
You don't have to prepare for him."
"Alright!"
Of course, she knew that. After all, she was the one who asked Bryson out.
She made six dishes and one soup quickly.
Just as she was about to set the table, a boy came in.
"Oh my, it's so hot today."
Audrey looked at this stranger who just came in. He was a teenager wearing sweats, with a basketball
in his hand.
Seeing him, Madam Cordova was surprised in joy.
"Simon, what are you doing here? Where are your parents?"
"They are on business, so I come here alone. I have a game tomorrow. Your place is closer, so I am
gonna stay here tonight."
"Alright. I'll tell them to set up that guest room for you."
"Thank you, Great-grandmother."
When he saw Audrey standing there, he put on a big smile.
"Hello, Aunt Elliana. Simon Randall. You can call me Simon."
Audrey didn't say anything.
A teenager nephew? How come?
Hearing what he said, Audrey thought he might have heard of her. Maybe Bryson told him before.
Simon hadn't had dinner yet, so he ate with them.
He was a talker. When eating, he kept talking about funny things at school and embarrassing stories
about the basketball team.
Suddenly, he changed the topic.
"Oh right, Great-grandma, who did Uncle Bryson have dinner with tonight?"
Kylee said, "I didn't ask him about that. Why?"
"I called him today, but his assistant answered for him. He said he was buying new suits at the mall."
"Some important client, maybe."
Simon murmured, "Really important, huh? He even bought new suits for this dinner?"
Audrey, "......"
She thought to herself: That must be something wrong with his suit, so he needs to get a new one,
right?
She would never believe that he bought new suits for her.
He must have arrived at the Romance Restaurant now......
...
The Romance Restaurant
The restaurant was located on the top floor of a commercial building downtown. It was a restaurant for
couples.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe decoration was like a fantasy, which immersed people in sweet love and romance.
It was Friday.
The restaurant was crowded with couples.
Sitting in the room, Alma was waiting for Bryson excitedly. She looked in the mirror from time to time to
see if her makeup was running.
Today, she got all pretty for this date. She thought she was beautiful, born into a rich family, and even
was in a position of influence. A lot of men were wooing her, but to her, only Bryson was good enough.
After waiting for a while, she heard a waiter's voice outside the room.
"Mister, A6, please."
Then she heard Bryson's familiar voice.
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Alma felt her heart was beating like a rabbit.
Here he came. Here he came.
She quickly stood up.
The door was unlocked and pushed open.
Bryson came in. He was wearing a dark blue suit, a light blue shirt, nice cuff links, and a brooch. He
seemed to be unusually gentle today.
He was even more handsome than usual, which almost turned her legs into jelly.
Obviously, he dressed up for tonight.
Alma looked at him in surprise.
"Evening, Mr. Bryson."
Seeing her in the room, Bryson frowned and looked around.
"What are you doing here?"
Alma said shyly, "Well, Elliana helped me to ask you out!"
For some reason, before she finished her sentence, she felt the romantic and warm room suddenly
became frozen, making her chilly.
The gentleness on Bryson's face was now replaced by coldness.
