Chapter 213
Ronald gave Naomi a look, hinting that she should show more enthusiasm instead of being so indifferent to Brendan. Otherwise, he would be the one suffering.
Ronald finally realized that Brendan would vent his anger on him.
On the other end of the phone, Brendan asked, "Where are you eating and with whom?"
Naomi smiled. "Are you checking up on me?"
Seeing Naomi avoiding his question, Brendan switched to a video call. Naomi wanted to curse Brendan for his shameless behavior.
Seeing the video call request, Ronald immediately ducked under the table.
Both Naomi and Bailey shared a blank look. Didn't he just hug Naomi moments ago? It seemed Ronald was truly traumatized by Brendan.
After Ronald hid, Naomi answered the video call. "Looks like you're planning to monitor me 24/7."
Brendan shrugged. "I don't trust you."
Naomi was offended. "Hey! I'm a trustworthy person."
Then, she pointed the camera at Bailey and made a few more remarks before hanging up.
Why was Brendan monitoring her out in broad daylight?
As soon as Naomi hung up the phone, Brendan sent her a message: "Make sure Ronald hides well."
Naomi looked up and saw two sets of tableware on the table. She kicked Ronald lightly. "He spotted you.
So stop hiding."
Ronald stomped his feet. "Impossible! I didn't even show my face."
Bailey turned to look at Ronald emerging from under the table. "The tableware gave you away."
Ronald whined, "Naomi, you have to help me. Explain to Brendan that it was just a meal. I didn't even have any guys over."
Ronald felt like he was having a run of bad luck this year.
Bailey shoved some chicken into his mouth. "Let's eat!"
Then, she turned to Naomi. "It seems like you and Brendan are finally on the right track. Brendan seems to..."
Before Bailey could finish, Ronald chuckled. "On the right track? I didn't see a ring, nor did I attend a wedding."
Bailey shot him a dark look. "Can you not ruin the mood?"
Ronald immediately picked up his utensils. "Let's eat." Chapte: 213
Bailey sighed, "Naomi, don't listen to his nonsense. If Brendon keeps this up, then..."
Ronald butted in, "Men are always seeking for someone new. Once he gets enough of you, you won't hear from him again."From NôvelDrama.Org.
Both Naomi and Bailey flung a piece of meat at him. They knew what a smartass Ronald was since their younger days. No wonder Brendan was always punishing him.
They weren't necessarily siding with Brendan. But Ronald had it coming.
At the same time, Brendan was in his office. Just as Brendan hung up Naomi's video call, there was a knock on his office door.
Brendan looked up at the person who entered, and his expression immediately darkened.
Why did Jason allow her in?
"Hello, Brendan." Madelyn's smile widened when she saw Brendan.
Brendan looked unimpressed at her. m Madelyn approached with a lunchbox. "Brendan came here with I
my brother for business. I thought since you probably hadn't had lunch, I decided to bring you some."
"Do you need something?" Brendan maintained his cold demeanor.
Brendan never liked interacting with people, let alone a woman. Of course, Naomi was an exception. She was the only one who could drive him to the brink of insanity.
