Chapter 39：No Lies (1/2)

Brione was sulky the whole time and chose to lock herself up in her room after lunch. She kept herself busy studying the script for her new drama.

She should have been enjoying herself but she was not in the mood to go out today. She walked towards her bedside drawer. She opened it and grabbed the documents inside.

She heaved a long sigh and grabbed her mobile phone. She contemplated whether to call or just send a message. In the end, she decided to just send a message.

Cedric was reading some documents when his mobile phone beeped and for the first time, he felt wonderful receiving a message from Brione.

[I want to discuss the clauses in the agreement with you. Are you available?]

Cedric had a wicked grin on her face as he typed his reply and sent it.

[I'm always available for you, sweetheart. Only for you.]

Brione's face crumpled and scoffed, ”Yeah, right. Then why did you have lunch with your childhood sweetheart instead.”

She then sighed, realizing how childishly she was acting. It took her some time to decide when to meet and discuss the matter with Cedric and before she could type her reply her mobile phone beeped and it was Cedric saying,

[How about we discuss it after a wonderful dinner tonight?]

Brione bit her lip and decided to agree and typed a single word in reply 'Okay'.

She put the documents back in her drawer. She stood up and checked her appearance in the mirror. She should go out and have fun with her team instead of letting Cedric's childhood sweetheart affect her.

She was a bit disappointed that Cedric was not asking her out for a stroll when he clearly said he missed her. Was it because he was busy taking care of his childhood sweetheart?

”Brione stop!” she hissed, scolding herself when she realized she was doing it again! Being sulky, thinking about Cedric and his childhood sweetheart.

She opened the door and was startled to see Cedric at her door. He was wearing an awkward somewhat hesitant expression.

He smiled and said, ”Hmm, I wondered if you're in your room so I thought to check on you and ask if you would like to take a walk with me? I know I promised I would take you for a stroll but I suddenly had a headache so I rested for a while instead. I planned to rest a bit more in my room, but I miss you so badly that I can't stop myself from coming here.”

Brione's face reddened at Cedric's straightforwardness. He was not even stammering or blinking as he said such candid words like missing her badly. And just like that, he once again succeeded in making her hearrt flutter.

”How about we discuss the clause now so I can sign the papers already?” Brione suggested.

”Weren't you going out?” Cedric reconfirmed.
