Like being electrocuted in an instant, Valerie was startled, she was speechless as she looked at Theo curiously.
"In a matchmaker?" ask Valerie.
"Hmm, both her parents will match the man. You'll know who he'll be with" Theo said.
"Who with? Do I know him?"
"Sure, you know him."
Valerie was speechless, there was a feeling of disappointment coming from nowhere. The woman could no longer speak, she was also reluctant to ask in detail about who the woman Brian would be betrothed to. For Valerie, it would only be a burden on her mind.
Theo realizes Valerie's changing attitude. He realized that his grandson was worried and anxious.
During this time, Valerie never talked about her feelings about any man. Valerie is very secretive about her heart's affairs to anyone. Even when she fell in love with Noah a few years ago, Valerie kept that feeling alone. Valerie even hesitated if Noah noticed.
...****************...
The next day, Valerie came to Brian's house and arrived at the man's house at exactly seven in the morning. He looked at the clock on his wrist while parking his bike.
"Thank God I'm not late."
Valerie was worried that she would be late, because this morning she woke up later due to sleeplessness. Brian's expression of feelings as well as the fact that the man had been betrothed made Valerie fret. He tried to reject all forms of interest in his heart, but no matter how hard he avoided, Brian still managed to mess with his heart and mind.
Valerie's face looked lethargic, probably because she was tired and sleep-deprived.
While waiting for Brian while standing next to the body of the car, Valerie daydreamed.
"You okay?" ask Brian suddenly. Without Valerie noticing, the man was already standing nearby.
"Hm."
"Alright, comein!"
Valerie nodded, opening the door on the right, but Brian stopped her.
Several people around Brian and Valerie, including the security guard and the waiter who drove Brian, could only gawk at the words of his employer.
They were astonished, why did Brian's attitude seem strange this morning? Or did he choose to drive himself?
Without rebutting, Valerie got into the car. Just like yesterday afternoon, the two sat side by side in the front seat.
The man who was focusing on the street looked handsome and charming every day. The alluring aroma of typical perfume often makes Valerie deliberately walk closer in order to smell the fragrance.
But at this moment, Valerie was suddenly scared. He must try to restrain himself and stay away so that his feelings do not become more so.
Along the way to the office, the two did not chat at all. Until they arrive, Valerie just keeps quiet and tries to take her eyes off Brian. It makes Brian uncomfortable, he does not like when Valerie avoids the look in his eyes.
When he got out of the car, Brian did not walk immediately as usual. He waited for Valerie and took the woman side by side. The two walked at close range, occasionally Brian's fingers trying to touch Valerie's hand but the woman quickly dodged.
As they were about to enter the elevator, Max suddenly came out of the elevator which they were about to ride with a pale and tense face.
Brian frowned at Max.
"Wire, Boss. It's so bad!" exclaim Max. "Your father is already in your room. He's waiting for you."
Brian was silent, he didn't seem surprised at all. The three of them finally got into the elevator together.
"Have you taken care of the gossip?" ask Brian.
"It's all done."
"Good."
Between Brian and Max, Valerie stood up restlessly. I don't know why his feelings became increasingly uneasy and worried. Is something bad going to happen?
