Chapter 408 - Someone Ruined Their Dinner
"Excuse me? What did you say?" Andrew mumbled, lifting an eyebrow.
Alveena pouted her lips before repeating her words. "I said feed me."
Andrew watched her with disbelief. He didn't know whether to laugh or feel annoyed by her ridiculous request. 'What gotten to her to request that?'
"Seriously, Alveena? Are you a baby? Can't you feed yourself? You have hands and mouth. Why are you suddenly asking me to feed you?" Andrew spoke up spontaneously.
Alveena rubbed her hands in front of Andrew while giving him a pleading look. "Please… if you are grateful to me because of my help then just cooperate with me. I will explain it to you later."
"If you don't want to feed me then let me feed you," Alveena added, scooping a spoon of rice on Andrew's plate and raising it towards his mouth.
Andrew glanced at Alveena as if she was the one he was about to eat.
"Put it down, Alveena. It's so embarrassing," Andrew mumbled, giving her a warning look. He peered at their surroundings and he caught some people were looking at them.
"Just this one. One bite. Please… just play along with me," Alveena begged softly while stealing a glance in Brandon's direction. She saw him smiling at her as if he was enjoying what he was witnessing right now.
"There's a creepy guy who keeps on checking me out since I returned from the comfort room. Please help me. I just want him to know that I am already taken," she said in a low voice. She was still holding the spoon.
Since Andrew was indebted to her, he finally gave in and cooperated with her. He opened his mouth awkwardly as Alveena fed him. After doing it, Alveena signaled Andrew to do the same thing with her.
Andrew gladly complied as he fed Alveena a mouthful of chocolate cake.
"Hey, this is so big?!" Alveena narrowed her eyes at him. Andrew just pretended he didn't hear her complaints.
Alveena glared at Andrew while chewing the chocolate cake inside her mouth. He intentionally took a large piece of cake when he fed her.
Andrew tried his best to fight the urge to laugh. He enjoyed seeing Alveena's annoyed expression.
"Bear with it! This is what you ask for. I'm just cooperating with you," he said, teasing her.
Alveena just rolled her eyes as a response.
"Just eat. Don't mind the person," Andrew told her, putting food on Alveena's plate.
She nodded her head and continued eating. Alveena felt relieved when Brandon and his clients left the restaurant. She didn't know why but she had a nagging feeling that Brandon would bring troubles for her.
For Alveena, Brandon was like a piece of bad news to her. If he refused the arranged marriage their parents were pushing for them then she didn't have to make a deal with her evil brother.
She thought she could relax already but she didn't expect what Brandon did next. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shamelessly asked them if he could join them.
"Hi, Alveena… care if I join you? My clients just went home so I am now alone. It's rare to see familiar faces in a foreign country so I want to have a little chitchat with you." Brandon said, grabbing a chair beside Alveena.
Andrew's brows knitted in a frown because of Brandon's sudden intrusion. Alveena also narrowed her eyes at him since he just sat next to her even though they hadn't given him a response yet.
Brandon sized Andrew up, observing him with a taunting smile on his face. Apart from his good looks, he wondered what Alveena saw in him that made him her type.
'Does she like a quiet and serious man like him? He seems boring to me,' Brandon thought to himself.
Andrew didn't like the way Brandon looked at him. He also hated the fact that he just suddenly joined them as if they were close to him. He turned to Alveena with his questioning gaze. With that kind of gaze, he was asking her how did she know that man.
Alveena had the urge to beat Brandon. She knew it. He would make things difficult for her. What if he would mention anything about Sy Corp or her brother in front of Andrew? She would be done for once it happened.
"Mister, you look familiar to me too. Did we meet before?" Brandon had spoken once more, asking Andrew.
Andrew couldn't explain why but this guy was pissing him off just the way he spoke to him. 'I hate this man already.'
Alveena was almost losing her patience. "Brandon? Don't you know the proper etiquette? A man and a woman having dinner in a restaurant, where did you get that guts to interrupt us and ruin our quality time? Can you just leave us while I am still being polite?"
Brandon just ignored Alveena, his eyes were fixed on Andrew's face. The two of them were exchanging a sharp look with each other.
"By the way, my name is Brandon Cullens, Alveena's fiancee, and future husband!" Brandon introduced himself to Andrew, extending his right hand.
"Brandon! Stop this nonsense!" Alveena burst out. She looked at him with disbelief. How could he tell that to Andrew in front of her? Truly shameless. She just told him moments ago that she would never marry him.
Andrew just remained quiet in his seat. 'No wonder Alveena tried her best to avoid this arranged marriage. This guy is truly unlikable.' He unconsciously clenched his fists.
Brandon just smiled mischievously at Alveena. He didn't mean to act like this but after seeing the indifferent behavior of Andrew towards him, he couldn't help himself from provoking him.
Alveena stood up from her seat and forcibly dragged Brandon going out of the restaurant. She needed to send him away before he talked more about her and her family.
When they were already outside, Alveena confronted him once again. "I know you are doing this because I offended you with my words a while ago. But I didn't expect that you would go to this extent, disrupting our good meals. How dare you, Brandon?! Go and just leave."
Brandon held Alveena's shoulders and gazed at her intently. "Hmm alright, Miss Alveena Sy, I will leave since you ask me to leave. But just to let you know… I will not stop pursuing you."
Brandon gave her a peck on her right cheek before leaving her speechless. Brandon disappeared from her sight with a cheeky grin on his face.
It took her thirty seconds before she was able to react. "What a freak?! That guy really creeps me out!"
When she returned to their table, Andrew was already wearing a dark expression. He looked mad but he never said a thing to her. Alveena could only bite her lips and apologize to Andrew.
Fifteen minutes after Brandon left the restaurant, Alveena and Andrew also got out of the restaurant. Their dinner was already ruined by someone so they just decided to leave.
They headed straight to their hotel without knowing that Brandon was following them. After confirming what hotel room Alveena was staying in, Brandon decided to return to his hotel.
He already made up his mind that one of these days he would visit her. He had a lot of free time now that he already closed the deal with his clients.
