Chapter 27 Pretence
Chapter 27 Pretence
"Evie, what do you think I should do now? I still need about a hundred thousand more dollars for the
surgery. Where am I going to get so much money in just a few days? If I can't get enough money, my
father will be in danger."
I couldn't hold back my tears when I said this to Evie anxiously. Just the thought of my father in danger
made me panic.
"Hollie, don't cry. We'll figure this out. Doctors always exaggerate the patient's condition, so your father
might not be in as much danger as he said he is. Calm down, we'll think of something."
Evie gave me a hug and kept comforting me.
I knew that she said that because she was afraid that I would be anxious, but I didn't have the money
to save my father's life. Was I supposed to watch my father die?
"Hollie, don't you know Brandon Sutton? He's the richest man in City A, he'll have the money!"
Just when I was at a loss, Evie mentioned Brandon's name in my ear.
I haven't heard this name for a long time. My heart trembled violently, and I instantly saw some hope.
However, I had made it clear to him that we were even last time. If I approached him and asked him for
a loan, he wouldn't lend the money to me. Moreover, we did not have a close relationship.
If I went to him and asked him for money, he would think that I had an ulterior motive. Moreover, I heard
that he was a miser. There was no chance that he would lend me the money.
So I decided that I needed to see Brandon again. This way, I would have an excuse to borrow money
from him. However, Brandon was an important figure in City A. It was hard to meet with him.
I didn't tell Evie about my plan. The next day, I took leave and didn't go to work. I came to Brandon's
head office and tried to stage a chance encounter.
But there were at least a few thousand people in the head office. It was almost impossible to look for
him in the crowd.
Finally, I came up with an idea. I sneaked into the underground parking lot of Brandon's company. The
last time I had sex with him, I paid special attention to his car plate number. I figured that not a lot of
people would be able to afford a luxury car like his.
Heaven did not let down those who were thoughtful. After searching for about half an hour, I finally
found Brandon's car. I heaved a long sigh of relief when I confirmed that he was in the company.
I would just need to wait here. Brandon would definitely come down here for his car after work, so I just
needed to pretend that I was here by coincidence.
In order to seduce Brandon this time, I had carefully prepared for it. Today, I was wearing a bodycon
yellow dress and ten-centimetre high heels with some light make-up.
I looked at my watch. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. It was time to get off work,
because I saw people coming into the parking lot and driving away.
I had a good figure, plus I was dressed provocatively today, so many men came up to flirt with me and
wanted to give me a ride. I refused all of them. I was here for Brandon today, so I wasn't going to
indulge them.
Almost all the cars were already gone, and the parking lot was empty, but Brandon was still not
showing up.
If it weren't for the fact that his car was still parked there, I really suspected that he had already left.
I had been standing in the parking lot in my high heels for two hours. My feet began to hurt. Usually, I
rarely wore high heels. Today, in order to successfully sleep with Brandon, I really went all out.
Finally, a figure came into my sight. Brandon appeared in the parking lot. He was dressed in a pure
black suit, which made him look more aloof and cold. His body language was broadcasting a "don't
come near me" message.
I hid in a corner and took out a mirror from my bag. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with my
makeup, I pretended to be relaxed and walked out.
Brandon saw me almost immediately. I could clearly see the surprise in his eyes when he first saw me.
He strode over to me, stood in front of me, and looked me up and down. He was probably impressed
with my outfit because he smiled and said, "Why are you here?" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
It had been a month since Brandon and I had sex last time. During this period of time, there was no
contact between the two of us. Maybe both of us had forgotten each other's existence. My appearance
here today was naturally surprising to him.
"I'm here for you."
I told him my purpose without hesitation. I looked into his eyes and didn't avoid him at all.
"For me? Did I hear wrongly? I remember that you told me clearly last time that we were even. Why are
you here for me today? What's the reason?"
Brandon was indeed a person who had been working in the business world for many years. He could
see through my purpose at a glance, but I haven't had sex with him yet, so I couldn't tell him the real
purpose.
"I'm feeling lonely these days, and I need someone to warm me. I missed having sex with you, isn't this
enough of a reason?"
As soon as I finished my words, Brandon's handsome face darkened and he looked at me with
displeasure.
I approached Brandon and put my hands around his neck. I put my lips close to him and wanted to kiss
him, but he pushed me away.
He frowned slightly and looked at me with some dissatisfaction, with resistance in his black eyes.
"Hollie, you are getting more and more easy now."
"In your heart, I have always been easy, haven't I? Why is it a problem now?"
With a charming smile on my face, my eyes slowly slid from his chest to his crotch, and there was a
hint of sarcasm in my tone.
Brandon's expression grew darker and darker as he looked at me with a hint of anger in his eyes. He
must have had the urge to push me away.
"Hollie, you've already used the method of goading me for the first time. It won't work on me again!"
His voice was cold. Although my words angered him, they didn't work as they had in my first attempt.
He had already seen through my intentions.
"Is that so? Why can't I remember? I must have drunk too much that night and forgot." I giggled.
Being mercilessly exposed, I couldn't continue the act and could only smile awkwardly.
