Billionaire’s Great Obsession

His breathing, as well as his words, made Brianna blush. She felt a sense of pleasure and embarrassment. Levi and the bodyguards must have heard! She thought.

Brianna buried her face on his chest, too embarrassed to look at others. In fact, no one was looking at them at all. They were either looking up at the ceiling or down at the floor.

They knew well enough when not to interfere. Scott grabbed Brianna’s chin and lifted her face up, “I still remember clearly what happened this morning. You are the very first person who has the guts to confront me and speak to me like that.”

To her own surprise, Brianna replied, “What about those that went behind your back?” She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Scott’s face turned stern, then he sneered, “Ha-ha. Dead.” He said briefly. It sent a shiver down Brianna’s spine.

“Thanks for sparing me,” Brianna said timidly. The door opened, and she scurried away. “Have a nice day.” She hurried back to her seat, where she felt the safest.

As usual, all the other secretaries were busy working. Their phones seemed never to stop ringing. They were either speaking on the phone or buried their head in piles of documents.

Brianna was the only one without any work to do. At first, people thought she was protected by Levi, and so no one would ask her to do anything, and now that they knew she was Mrs. Anderson, people would not even talk to her.

Only when she took the initiative and asked them would they assigned her the easiest tasks. Therefore, she spent most of her time browsing websites and self-studying fashion design and architecture while hoping to get some online design work.

When it was lunchtime, Brianna waited for a while, and Levi still didn’t show up. I guess Scott Anderson is not having lunch with me today. I will go and get lunch myself then. I’m starving.

When the lift got to the fifth floor, the door opened, and a girl in a crop top and denim skirt walked in cheerfully.

“Jodie!” Brianna exclaimed. Her face lit up as soon as she recognized Jodie Field.

“Hey! Brianna!” Jodie responded with a big smile and hugged Brianna. “Are you also working here?”

“Yes. How about you? Did you go to the Brighten Company for the interview the next day?”

“No. I can’t. After they heard about my uncle, they didn’t want me. So I decided to come to the headquarters to give it a try and luckily everything went well. I’m in the sales department. I think with Scott Anderson here, my uncle should show him some respect and leave me alone.”

“Your uncle seems to care about you. Isn’t it better to work for him?”

“The thing is his family, especially his mother and younger sister, look down upon me. If I work for him, they will despise me even more. I have to show them that I’m capable and independent.”

Brianna nodded. “Right. I’m sure you will!”

“Thanks, Brianna. By the way, which department are you in?”

“Secretary.”

“Wow. That’s great. I’ve heard that all the female staff dream of being a secretary as you can get close to Scott Anderson.”

Brianna shook her head. “It’s depressing there. No one talks to anyone. They are even afraid to speak aloud.”

“That sounds awful. Hmm. Shall we go for lunch together? I’m starving. You know what, we shall get lunch together every day. That would be great!”

“We shall!” Brianna said cheerfully.

As they walked into the canteen, both Brianna and Jodie noticed that many people would look at Brianna curiously. Jodie pricked up her ears and heard some murmuring. “Brianna! You are Mrs. Anderson?! Scott Anderson’s wife?” Jodie exclaimed and stared at Brianna, open-mouthed.

Brianna nodded.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Jodie rolled her eyes at her.

“He only married me to shut his grandparents up. We aren’t really a couple. We were supposed to keep it a secret anyway. But Sophia Moore showed up and put on a big drama this morning, and now everyone knows.” Brianna explained.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sophia Moore? Oh, Brianna, you need to watch out. No one ever dares to displease her in Las Vegas, even in the whole country.” Jodie sounded anxious and sincerely concerned.

Brianna heaved a sigh. “I don’t know how long Scott Anderson can protect me. He’s a businessman, but Sophia Moore’s father is in the mafia.” Brianna isn’t worried for no reason. She had noticed that people kept a distance from her on purpose. Obviously, it was because they were afraid of Sophia Moore, to be close to Brianna means to be against Sophia.

They understood that Scott didn’t marry Brianna for love but to use her temporarily while Sophia Moore was the daughter of an American mafia boss. The way people looked at Brianna and gossiped did embarrass her, but she knew that there was no point saying anything. I am just his possession. It’s true that he’s using me.

“Brianna, if Sophia causes trouble again, just give me a call. I will stand by you. If she hurts me, uncle Sean won’t just let her off. With uncle Sean and Scott Anderson protecting you, I’m sure the mafia boss won’t want to displease both the Smiths and the Andersons for the sake of his insolent daughter.”

“Thanks so much, Jodie.” Brianna said gratefully, then she added, “I don’t really want to make it a big deal though, but just to keep it between her and me.”

“You are my friend. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”

Brianna looked at Jodie with a smile and said, “I’m so grateful to have you as a friend, Jodie, but I do want to keep it quiet, well, as best as I can.” What am I to Scott Anderson? If I cause trouble, it will only anger him. No one wants to mess up with the American mafia boss. Brianna thought.

“You know what, Sophia Moore is used to getting what she wants. I think the best way to deal with her is to show her that you aren’t to be taken advantage of from the very beginning. Let her know that you aren’t weak!” Jodie said encouragingly.
