Chapter 256 I couldn't help but think, "Brandon and Xander?" "The boss?" "Howell?" In an instant, a dozen thoughts flashed through my mind.

I had my suspicions about them before. I had even tried to test them out separately, but both denied any connection. Now, seeing them together, I couldn't wall to see how they would explain this.

"Brandon!" I called out.

Both Brandon and Xander stopped and turned to look in my direction.

I was crouched beside the fish pond, so it seemed like they didn't spotimmediately. Xander nudged Brandon. "Who's calling you? That voice sounded like...

But he didn't finish his sentence. Brandon had already started striding over.

"This place is dangerous," he said, reaching out to me. I thought he was going to pullup, so I extended my hand.

But, to my surprise, his arm wrapped around me. I felt my body lift off the ground as he carriedaway from the fish pond.

"Aren't you supposed to be having lunch? What are you doing over here?" Brandon asked as he setdown. He was sharp enough to realize this was a restaurant and that I had chere to eat. His sudden embrace threw my thoughts into disarray. It tooka few seconds to cback to my senses.

I glanced at him and then looked over to Xander, who was standing nearby with a gossipy smile on his face. "You and him... know each other?" "Yes," Brandon replied without hesitation. Then, he added, "We just met." Xander approached us with a knowing smile. "So... Mr. Crown's boyfriend is you, Mr. Howell? That explains why you cto interview at my place, saying you were referred by someone. Was it our dear Ms. Crown who introduced you?" That cleared up the reason why Brandon and Xander were together. It made sense. After all, I had already mentioned it to Brandon. But the speed at which he moved was astonishing.

I looked at Brandon with a doubtful expression. He seemed completely unbothered and lowered his voice slightly. He said, "Someone else has their eyes on my girlfriend, so it's better if I stay close." I was left speechless. Although Brandon's voice was low, Xander seemed to have heard it anyway. He chuckled and said, "Ms. Crown, aren't you going to welcyour new colleague?" I thought, "So, Brandon got the job?" He was indeed qualified, but this seemed a bit too easy. It madewonder if Xander was genuinely that impressed by him. Was he impressed enough to take him out to celebrate? Looking forward to working with you, Ms. Crown," Brandon added, extending his hand to me.

Seeing how serious he looked, I was about to shake his hand when Xander cut in, "With your relationship, why shake hands? You two should be hugging." Chapter 25c I was speechless.

"Great idea!" Brandon agreed, then pulledinto his arms.

"Perfect! Truly perfect." Xander sighed from the side.

Even though it was just a hug, and I had already established arelationship with Brandon, I couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.

As I was about to pull away, I heard Jewel's voice, low and forlorno' Chris, I don't know what to do. Tellwhat En: can I do to make your mom like me?" "You don't have to do anything..." Chris's voice was cold and distant.

"Why?" Jewel continued to ask.

I already knew the answer. It was because Bree didn't like Jewel as a person. No matter what she did, that wouldn't change.

However, Chris was giving her a bit of dignity and hadn't made it so explicit.

"Con. Lettake you home," Chris said.

Jewel didn't reply. I thought they en were leaving, but then Chris spoke again. "Let's go Uhless you plan to go back and eat. Can you even manage that?" X
