Grace got into the car. Whitney Cooper clenched her teeth in hatred and drove home.
However, Brian was sitting on the couch inside when she opened the door.
âBrian!â Whitney Cooper looked surprised. âWhat are you doing here? You couldâve called me if you wanted to see me and I wouldâve come straight to you.â
Brian only looked at Whitney Cooper coldly. It was different from his usual indifference. The look in his eyes instantly made Whitney Cooper uneasy.
âW-Whatâs the matter?â
âDid you meet Grace today?â Brian asked.
âHow do you know that?â Whitney Cooper blurted out, and that amounted to a direct admission. Then, she hesitated slightly before asking, âDid Grace tell you that?â
âIt has nothing to do with her. Let me ask you. Why did you go look for Grace? What did you say to her?â Brian said.
He would not have known about it if Whitney Herrera.had not called him and said she happened to see Whitney Cooper meeting Grace.
He would sometimes meet Whitney Herrera to talk about their cooperation, so he had brought Whitney Cooper along on several occasions.
Whitney Herrera knew Whitney Cooper, of course.
âI⦠I didnât say anything. I just told her Iâm your private secretaryâ¦â murmured Whitney Cooper.
âAnd?â Brian demanded.
âAnd⦠I hope she could make things easier for you.â Whitney Cooperâs almond-shaped eyes glistened with tears as she pretended to seem aggrieved. âBrian, I know youâve been thinking about her. Youâve been handling her affairs, especially after coming to Deer City. If this goes on for a long time, those gossipy reporters will write about it. Your reputation will suffer.â
Brian looked at her almond-shaped eyes that were similar to Graceâs. Her eyes were what caught his attention when he saw the woman in front of him at the nightclub back then.
It was because her eyes were similar to Graceâs.
Strangely, Graceâs tears made his heart ache, while Whitney Cooperâs tears only disgusted him.
Even if her almond-shaped eyes were similar to Graceâs, the light in her eyes was different.
Brian said, âI seem to have doted on you too much and misled you. Whitney Cooper, youâre only my private secretary. You have no right to decide who I think about. You shouldnât think about what will happen to my reputation.â
âBut I love you.â Since meeting him in the nightclub and finding out he was the one who saved her, she had been yearning for him. She had been constantly trying hard to stay by his side.
What woman could not love a man of his wealth, status, and intelligence?
âYou love me?â Brian seemed to have heard a joke as a sarcastic smile appeared on his indifferent lips.
âYou love me? What do you love about me? Do you love me enough to risk anything for me?â
âI⦠I love everything about you, of course. I would sacrifice everything for you!â Whitney Cooper said quickly, âI can make an oath if you donât believe me!â
