NovelEnglishThings were not going according to Brittany's plans. Alexander quickly finished his breakfast, which was not what Brittany thought would happen—the duo sat opposite each other, chatting away as they ate their breakfast. He ate only a sandwich and had one cup of coffee before returning to his desk and turning on his computer.
Alexander had fixed his gaze on the monitor immediately after eating his breakfast. After taking a few bites of the food, which tasted bland because he was not focused, Brittany could no longer sit still and put away her breakfast before walking over to him. “Alex, can't you see that I'm here?” Alexander looked up at her before his gaze averted back to his monitor. “What is it?” “Do you hate me?” Brittany asked again, pouting.

Are you so busy that you don’t even have time to eat breakfast with me?” Brittany was so angry that she reached for his monitor and turned it around so he could not use it.
This made Alexander frown and look up at her again. “Stop messing around.” Then he raised the last bit of his sandwich, showing it to her before shoving it into his mouth. “There, done with breakfast. You should head home now. Let me see if Edward is here. I'll get him to send you back.” Alexander reached for his phone on the table as he spoke. Upon seeing this, Brittany quickly lunged forward and clamped down on his hand. “I don’t want to! Stop getting Edward to help me! He's not related to me, so | don’t want him to send me back!” She pouted, then looked straight into his eyes. “Il want you to be the one to send me back.” ‘Since he’s so busy with work, I'm sure he doesn't have time to send me home. That way, | can stay here. Even if we don't do anything, I'd be happy just by being here.’ However, something unexpected happened. Alexander seemed to be in thought for a moment before he nodded. “Okay. I'll send you back.” That caught Brittany off guard.
“Do you want me to leave that badly?” Brittany was so angry that she could not maintain her calm anymore. As soon as she got off the plane, she rushed over and woke up extra early to buy breakfast for him. She did not understand why he was still so cold toward her even after she had done so many things for him.
Although Alexander had never said harsh words to her, his polite and distant behavior made her uncomfortable.
“Brittany, | have a lot to get done. I'm sure you have your own things to do as well. You're an adult now and not a little child anymore. You shouldn't be acting like a kid and throwing tantrums,” Alexander reprimanded her like he was her older brother.
“You're right. I'm not a child anymore, so don't use that tone on me! | have an older brother and don’t need you to be another.

Alexander just watched as Brittany left and made no move to chase after her. Sighing, he picked up his phone and made a call.
After a long time of ringing, someone finally answered the call. A lazy voice traveled from the other end. “Dude, do you know what time it is now? You're disturbing my sleep!” That made Alexander scoff. “The time? Your sister has already sent breakfast to my house and followed me to my office.” “What? She sure acts fast. Haha! Just enjoy it!” The person on the other side of the phone yawned. It sounded like he was going to hang up and continue to sleep.
“She left.” After a short pause, Alexander continued, “She was emotional, and she doesn’t have her car.” Brandon sighed, his sleepiness pretty much gone by now. “Didn't she send you breakfast? She didn’t drive? Where's her car? Also, what do you mean by she was emotional? You didn't go after her?”
