NovelEnglishChapter 272 Brandon's tone was quite polite, but it sounded like an order from a superior to me, but I knew he wasn't callingfor work-related matters.
Just yesterday he had questionedabout the flowers that a young guy sent, and now he had personally witnessed something again. Was he going to interrogatefurther? At that moment, I realized that having a boyfriend was like looking for trouble for myself. If I hadn't been involved with Brandon, I could have just brushed off Yerrick's pursuit without any further complications. But now, I had to deal with Brandon too. No man was truly magnanimous after all.
With all my all my colleagues watching, there was nothing I could say. I had no choice but to follow Brandon into his office.

Besides the standard desk, chair, and computer, there were numerous electronic devices that I didn't recognize but assu As I was looking around, I heard the door close behind me. My chest tightened slightly, and I turned to greet him formally.
"Mr. Howell." Earlier, before entering his office, I noticed the plaque on the door-Chief Engineer. That title certainly matched his hefty salary.
Brandon looked atand asked, "Did you have breakfast?" His gaze was intense, and every tI made eye contact with him, my heart would race uncontrollably After what happened last night, I felt even more self-conscious facing him directly.
I wandered over to his equipment, examining it as I replied, "I did." "Didn't I tell you to rest today? Why did you cto work?" Brandon's question madefreeze.
I looked at him and said, "Mr. Howell, you're overstepping your boundaries." His jaw tightened slightly, but I pressed my lips together and continued, "We're together now, but that doesn't mean you can interfere in my life, especially my work, even if you're doing it for my own good." He o His attitude was good. So, I didn't want to push further. I glanced around his office and remarked, "You've got quite the impressive setup here." He didn't respond. Since it was working hours, I didn't want to say anything else. I gave him a slight smile and said, "Well, I'll let you get back to work. I'll go back to my office. "Mãe, Brandon called out to me.
"Mr. Howell," I replied, matching his tone. "At the company, let's interact as colleagues. Also... I don't want others to know about our relationship." Brandon frowned, so I quickly explained, "Don't take it the wrong way. I don't want people to know because I don't want them to gossip or affect our work. It's not that you're someone I'm ashamed of, nor do I have any intentions toward other men." I was very clear, addressing any potential misunderstandings he might have had.
"Alright!" He agreed without hesitation.
"Okay then. I'll leave you to it," I said as I turned to leave.

Huh? I paused before recalling the teasing tone I used when Xerick Was being escorted out. "Uh, that... I was just joking." I explained.
"Do you think I'm old too?" Brandon asked, catchingoff guard again,
I didn't mean that at all! I had only jokingly called him an old man, but he took it the wrong way. It seemed like even tough guys lacked a sense of humor and couldn't take a joke. I shook my head and smiled slightly. "No, you're not old. Not at all."
"Tellthe truth!" Brandon demanded in a stern tone, noticing a storyte my smile!
