Chapter 55: Don’t Give Me A Pretentious Look
At noon, Brianna had knocked at his office door twice, asking if he would like tea or a massage, but Scott refused.
He’s so moody. I just can’t understand. She thought. I might as well make good use of the time and focus on my design then.
Brianna majored in interior design at university and self-learned jewelry design for some time. Now that she had the chance to realize her dream through the help of The Anderson Corporation, she knew she had to learn more about jewelry design.
She made herself a cup of coffee, put her headphones on, and listened to Kate Bush while going through The Collection of Top Jewel Design.

With extra effort, Brianna prepared dinner, hoping to cheer Scott up. However, Scott sat by the table with a sulking face and wouldn’t even take a look at Brianna despite the beautifully presented food.
Brianna spoke to him with a smile, but he made no reply. Frustrated, Brianna cursed silently, he’s so moody and childish! I have spent extra time preparing dinner for him, and he won’t even appreciate it!
Scott suddenly glared at Brianna and said, “What’s on your mind? Are you cursing me?”
“Huh? Why? No, of course not.” Brianna denied immediately, shocked that he had guessed her thoughts.
“Brianna, do you know that you are terrible at lying?”
Brianna pouted her lips and looked at Scott with her big innocent eyes and said meekly, “Scott, I wasn’t cursing you. Why would I curse you? I, err, I was just wondering why you seem upset.” She smiled awkwardly.
“Don’t give me that pretentious look,” Scott said, stood up, and went upstairs to his study.
Brianna heaved a sigh, looking at the food, untouched. What’s with him today? Whatever I do just won’t please him! She thought and lost her appetite as well.
She asked the maid to clean the table and went to her room to get a shower and go on with the book about jewelry design. Despite how much she wanted to concentrate, she found herself thinking about Scott now and then. When it was about ten o’clock, Scott’s usual supper time, she prepared a light meal with a small sandwich and a cup of tea.
She knocked at his door gently.
“What is it?” Scott said impatiently, sounding annoyed.
“I’ve brought you supper.”
Silence.
Brianna waited.
A few seconds later, Scott opened the door. He took a look at the food and went back to his seat.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Brianna put the tray down on his desk and sat down next to him. “You haven’t had anything for dinner. It’s a club sandwich and tea with warm milk just as you’d like it.” She said softly.
Scott kept his eyes on his laptop and made no reply. Brianna pouted her lips and thought, he’s still sulking. She cut a small piece of sandwich and hand it to him. “Would you like me to feed you?”
Still, Scott wouldn’t even take a look at her. Brianna leaned close to him and gazed at him with her big innocent eyes. “If you don’t eat it, I’m going to kiss you.” She said playfully.
Finally, Scott responded, “Don’t you dare.” Seeing her cheeky look, he seemed a bit more cheerful and took a bite.
Brianna cut up the sandwich into small pieces and fed him till he finished it all. She said good night and left.
Back in her room, Brianna went on reading in bed and fell asleep. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she felt a warm sense of pleasure and found herself naked in bed. Scott was on top of her, kissing her tummy and slowly moving down her thighs. She looked around and realized she was in Scott’s room. Has he taken me to his room? And on his bed?
Before she could figure out how she ended up in his room, she felt his tongue on her most sensitive spot, and she moaned. Scott paused and looked at her, his head in between her thighs. “You like that, don’t you?” He said with a most seductive smile.
Brianna couldn’t help finding herself surrendering to his charm again and his mastery skill in bed.
“Tell me. Do you like it or not?” Scott demanded.
Brianna nodded.
“Say it. Say you love it.” He insisted and went on licking her.
“I love it. I love it.” Brianna moaned. She had completely surrendered. When she was coming, he suddenly went inside her, and she moaned louder with such intense pleasure.
“Your job isn’t just to feed my stomach. Remember, He needs to be fed as well.” Scott said, breathing heavily as he rode her faster and faster.
“Yes. Right.” Brianna nodded. Where the hell does the rumor that he prefers men come from? He’s crazy in bed. He’s so terribly good. She thought.
They both came two more times, and Scott was still feeling energetic while Brianna was exhausted in bed. This time, he didn’t take her to the bathroom to shower straight away but lay in bed, with her head resting on his arm. He stroked her hair gently and felt her body still trembling slightly.
He waited for her to calm down slowly, then he pulled her hair slightly and said, “Don’t ever think of that asshole again. Show no pity for him. You hear me?”
Brianna nodded. “I don’t think of him. I just… I don’t want to hate him. I want to let the past be. You know what I mean?”
“Can you?”
“I’m trying. I want to forget those that don’t mean anything in my life anymore.”
Scott seemed pleased with Brianna’s answer, and he smiled, kissed her on her lips, and went to the bathroom.
Wondering what time it was, Brianna picked up Scott’s phone on the bedside table to check. His phone was unlocked. It’s unlocked? Huh. I guess no one would dare to check his phone anyway. She thought.
To her surprise, the first thing she saw was the picture of herself set as the wallpaper on his phone. She opened her eyes wide and looked closer. Then she realized that it wasn’t her.
