"I just won against a woman who might be Bryson's future wife. Would Bryson hold a grudge?"
"I should have let her win."
"But Alma's technique was a little poor... I wanted her to win, and I just accidentally won."
If knowing how Audrey thought about her technique, Alma would be pissed off.
Bryson had returned, and Audrey thought that she should create an opportunity for them.
"Miss Alma, I'm a little tired. Bryson will play go with you!"
Alma was filled with joy.
"Sure."
Audrey got up right away.
Bryson glanced at Audrey and sat down.
In the first round, Alma lost, because she was focused on Bryson instead of the game.
In the second round, Alma discovered that Bryson's technique was marvelous and recovered herself,
but she was still defeated.
In the third round, Alma did her best, but the winner was still Bryson.
Alma's face turned pale after being defeated by Bryson in the three rounds.
Today, Alma had lost four straight rounds in the Cordova's. She was a little doubtful about her
technique.
Audrey felt a little sympathy for Alma because Bryson did his best to win Alma. She thought to herself,
'Couldn't Bryson try to be kind to women? No wonder he didn't have a girlfriend.'
Then, a servant walked over and said, "Madam Cordova, Mr. Bryson, the dinner's ready."
Kylee said, "Come on. Let's have dinner."
...
During the meal, Alma put food in Audrey's bowl from time to time. Audrey felt flattered.
Audrey knew that Alma was attentive to her because Alma believed that she was Bryson's younger
sister.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter dinner, Alma looked at Audrey with affection.
"Elliana, Madam Cordova said that you were working in a law firm?"
"Right."
"Which law firm?"
"Square Law Firm!"
Alma said at once, "I heard my father mention that he was going to replace the legal advisor of his
company."
Kylee said, "The firm Elliana's working for can be the legal advisor of your father's company."
Alma nodded.
"This is what I'm thinking. A law firm with a friend working in it is more reliable. I'll bring it up with my
dad later."
Kylee looked at Alma with more satisfaction.
Audrey didn't know what to say.
She didn't want to make a connection with Alma.
She was a fake sister, so she lacked confidence.
There was a hint of reproach in Kylee's eyes when she saw that Bryson was about to get up, 'Alma was
still sitting here.'
"Bryson, let's go to the living room! Miss Alma doesn't come often. Let's chat in the living room."
It was clear what Kylee meant.
"I'm going to the study. I get some things about the company to take care of."
Kylee put on a straight face, "Do you have to take care of them now?"
Alma tried to appease Kylee, "Mr. Bryson is in charge of the Cordova Group. It's a big group. He must
be busy. Madam Cordova, I don't mind his leaving to deal with the affairs."
Hearing this, Kylee felt less cross.
"Since Alma speaks for you, you can go."
Bryson left without looking back.
In the absence of Bryson, Alma did not stay in the Cordova's for too long. She chatted with Kylee and
Audrey in the living room for a while before leaving.
Seeing Alma off, Kylee and Audrey returned to the villa.
Kylee looked in the direction of the study upstairs, saying with an angry face, "This Bryson, he didn't
show Alma any respect. He defeated Alma in the game. He didn't say a word to Alma during the dinner.
I'm mad at him."
Audrey kept quiet.
She wanted to say that it was because Bryson was not interested in Alma, but she didn't dare to stoke
up anger.
"Perhaps he had the company's affairs on his mind, so ... he showed no consideration for Miss Alma's
feelings!"
Kylee was still angry, "Don't speak for him. You should persuade him not to dedicate himself to his
work. It's important to get married and have children as soon as possible."
Audrey thought,
'He wouldn't listen to me about that.'
Audrey looked at the time on her phone, saying, "Well, Grandma, it's getting late. I'll be leaving now"
Upon hearing that Kylee was going back, Kylee forgot that she was angry. She held Audrey's hand and
said, "You just came back, and now you are leaving? No, you'll stay here tonight."
"Grandma, the information I need tomorrow is at home. I have to go back and check it tonight."
"Then just stay for a while longer."
Audrey held Kylee's hand. She didn't want to go, either, "Grandma, it'll be my day off two days later. I
can be your company then!"
Kylee had no choice but to let Audrey go back.
Audrey picked up her bag.
"How do you plan to go home?"
"I'll hail a taxi at the door. It's convenient."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You're a girl. It's not safe to take a taxi at night. No...." Kylee told the servant, "Go upstairs and tell
Bryson to come down."
...
"Grandma, don't bother. I'll go back myself." Audrey refused.
"He's your brother. It's his responsibility."
Audrey didn't say anything.
Not long after, Bryson came downstairs with keys in his hand.
Audrey was sitting in Bryson's car.
While Audrey was fastening her seat belt in the passenger seat, Kylee stood outside the driver-side
window and told Bryson, "Bryson, you'll watch Audrey as she sets foot into her apartment. Do you hear
me? If you drop her at the entrance of the neighborhood, I'll not forgive you."
"I see."
Then, Kylee walked to Audrey's side, holding Audrey's hand with love and saying, "Elliana, call
Grandma when you get home. Okay?"
"I will," Audrey replied in a soft voice, her eyes filled with affection.
Looking at Kylee, Audrey felt that she was looking at her grandma because they both cared so much
about her.
After the car turned the corner, Audrey stopped looking.
When they were on the road, Audrey said, "Stop. Just put me here. I'll take a taxi myself."
She hadn't forgotten who she was. He was a busy man, and she was just a person who pretended to
be Elliana. It was inappropriate for her to let him drive her home.
Bryson didn't look at her. He had no intention of stopping.
Audrey stopped speaking.
"Alright, if you insist."
The music in the car was soothing and hypnotic.
Audrey was weary. She leaned back in her seat, looking out of the window. Then, she closed her
eyes.
