The Day He Matured

La Brasserie restaurant is designed according to European architecture, extremely classy and elegant. The color scheme is very elegant, very formal but also very private.

Usually, if I want to come here for a good meal, I have to spend a few hundred dollars. If Brian hadn’t come with me, I wouldn’t have stepped foot in here.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Sitting down on the soft leather chair, I held my breath and looked around. I see everyone wearing luxurious and aristocratic clothes, maybe it’s just me who dresses casually.

When I’m not feeling well, I’m not in the mood to look in the mirror, groom myself, or put on makeup.

This morning, I left the house without makeup, just now when I was passing the glass, I suddenly turned around and I saw myself as pale as a corpse.

Maybe it’s because Brian looks at me a lot at home, so he feels normal, but everyone looks at me with strange eyes. I also faintly heard them say that we are the wrong pair of chopsticks.

I didn’t know he ran to the hospital. If I knew, I would also try not to make him lose face, I would put on cream, put on powder, put on lipstick, paint my eyebrows, and wear trendy clothes.

“Please choose your dish.” Brian gave me the menu and said.

My eyes were about to fall out when I saw the prices of the dishes. Even though I know the food here is expensive and it’s all high-quality food, I still regret the money.

I had to reassure myself that the man sitting across from me had a lot of money before I could safely choose the foods I liked.

If someone asks me what I have in common with Brian, it is about food, the dishes I like coincidentally are also his favorites.

After the waiter jotted down the dishes in the notebook and left, I eagerly waited.

This feeling is the same as when I was a child, waiting for my mother to come home from the market and buy me some sweet soup or cakes.

“What are you laughing at?” I squinted at Brian and asked.

“Nothing.” He shifted his gaze from my pale face to the phone.

It wasn’t until now that I noticed and realized that Brian’s mood was not very good. Although he didn’t show it on the outside, the sudden pursed lips, the faint sigh, and the furrowed eyebrows were enough for me to understand.

What’s wrong with the bank? But if the bank has a problem, why does he have time to run to the hospital and stay with me for hours like this?

Yes, I was moved again when I saw him appear, and accompany me during the medical examination, and he is still by my side until now.

However, I don’t understand where everything he does for me comes from.

Brian, are you trying to make me fall, fall in love to satisfy your aggressiveness?

I know he has never failed to seduce any girl. Could it be that he was not willing to be rejected by a maid who was poorer and uglier than the roses that had come into his life, so he set up this trap?

Because I was so busy thinking, I didn’t know when the dishes were served. If Brian didn’t hold his chopsticks and lightly tap my hand, my soul would still be floating in the clouds.

“Oh, is the dish already served?” I was startled and spoke up.

The red, fresh crabs made me salivate. Although I’m at his house, I don’t lack anything, but this is a natural reflex of the body.

Of course, no matter how hard I try, I can’t cook and arrange the crab on a plate to make it look as attractive and beautiful as in this expensive restaurant.

“Eat the other dishes first.”

Brian said as he carefully lifted the crab from the plate, broke its claws with tongs, and took out the meat.

I was as obedient as a puppy, put the grilled meat in my mouth, my eyes constantly watching his gentle but mature movements.

Perhaps he often peeled crabs for his previous girlfriends, that’s why his movements were so skillful.

Usually, when famous couples break up, there will be controversy. The girl accuses the boy like this, the boy exposes the girl like that.

However, over the years, Brian dated a lot of girls but they all broke up peacefully, the girls sometimes even talked about him well when suddenly being interviewed by reporters.

Was it because of his money and influence that made them say that or because during the time he and they loved each other, he treated them well, so when he and they broke up, they had no reason to speak ill of him?

“Don’t eat chili, don’t you remember what the doctor told you?”

I thought Brian was glued to the crabs, but I didn’t expect him to see me picking up the chili. I regretfully put down the chili and looked at the cup.

I really like to eat chili, without chili, I don’t have any appetite.

I only eat one chili, what will happen to me, but he forbids me? He’s afraid that I’ll have a stomachache and die and he won’t have anyone left to tease, right?

“Wait until you recover from illness and then eat whatever you want.”

He said and put down the plate full of crab meat in front of me.

“I already know.” I replied, my head still bowed.

After eating half of the meal, Brian’s phone rang. He stopped his chopsticks, glanced at it, took it, and left the table. I watched him for a few seconds and continued eating.

As soon as I put the big shrimp in my mouth, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded, making me raise my head in surprise. I almost choked when I caught sight of Richard’s handsome face with a gentle smile.

I quickly raised my hand to cover my bulging mouth because the shrimp was too big and my teeth were chewing hard.

Finally, the shrimp also slipped into my stomach.

Could it be that I and the person I once liked had so many predestined relationships? I went out for Christmas when I ran into him again and now when I go to lunch I also see him.

“Mr. Richard. Did you have lunch here?” I shyly stood up and asked.

“Yeah, I just finished eating with my partner. I was about to leave when I saw someone who looked like you, so I turned around to see if it was really you.”

“Oh, I see.”

I continued to put my hand to my mouth, but this time to hide my ungainly smile.

Richard’s partner buys what his company produces and what his company produces is condoms.

When I look at his face and think of that product, I can’t close my mouth, if only I had a mask right now, I would cover my face and laugh.

It’s all Brian’s fault. After that forgettable night, I keep remembering, every time I hear or see anything related to sensitive issues in the relationship between men and women, I think nonsense.

I was already poisoned by that, my innocent and pure soul was blackened by a creature named Brian.

“Are you sick?” Richard asked worriedly because he saw me coughing.

“Oh, no, ah, yes. I have a stomach ache, heartburn, so…”

I took a step back before Richard could touch me. Luckily I was quick-witted, using the symptoms of my stomach ache as the perfect excuse.

If he knew I smiled when I thought of his company’s products, he would be angry at me.

“Have you been to a doctor?”

“I went to the doctor. After I finished the examination, I went to have lunch here.”

Richard’s gaze moved quickly from my face to the table and then stopped on Brian’s cup. Oh my god, now I suddenly remembered that I was having a meal with the stubborn man Brian.

If he turned around and caught this scene, how long would my tongue have to be to explain it to him?

“Who are you having lunch with?” Richard looked at me and asked.

“Together with me.” The voice suddenly spoke up as soon as I opened my mouth, causing me to swallow the words I was about to say into my stomach.

Is this cold feeling down my spine caused by winter or caused by Brian?

Why didn’t he talk on the phone for another five or ten minutes for Richard to leave and then come back?

Richard and I are as pure as a mirror, so I don’t have to be afraid of anything, but because this Sunshine Bank president has a black head, he will imagine many strange situations.

“Turned out to be the chairman of Sunshine Bank. Nice to meet you here. My name is Richard, and I am also a small partner of your bank.”

Richard reached out his hand and politely spoke after a few seconds he was frozen. Perhaps he did not expect that I would go to lunch with Brian.

Although when we were at home, I saw Brian just like a normal person, arguing and talking with him, but I know that once I walk with him on the street, my status will also be greatly enhanced.

Whether I’m a maid or a garbage collector, as long as I’m next to him, no one dares to look down on me. His aura was more than enough to illuminate me.

“Hi Mr. Richard, I got to know you at the event honoring outstanding young entrepreneurs of the city. For Sunshine Bank, no partner is small. I am very honored to cooperate with your company.” Brian grabbed Richard’s hand and squeezed it.

Oh my gosh, is this Brian? Luckily, I thought he was going to jump up and down, grab me, pull me back, and yell loudly.

But I can understand he’s behaving politely because he’s outside. Besides, Richard and I don’t have any intimate actions, so why should I be afraid of him? Be courageous, Bella.

However, Brian’s professional appearance in every word attracted me. If only when he was at home, he kept his appearance, personality, and words like that, I would be less tired.

“I did not expect you to be a friend of Bella.” Richard said when their hands just let go of each other.

Brian turned to look at me and then at Richard, slightly nodded and smiled.

I also remained silent, feeling that I did not need to open my mouth to explain my status as a senior servant in Brian’s family.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, I climbed into his bed. He would ask me if any of the maids slept with the young master. And he will ask if any young master takes the maid to the doctor and takes her to the restaurant to eat expensive food.

Last time, he snarled when he mentioned that precious ring.
