Chapter 260 Waist Is Not Even as Big as His Palm

"Come over and have a cup of coffee. What do you want to drink?" Brendon asked in a casual tone.

For many days now, they had been living together like this, side by side in normalcy and fighting alongside each other.

Ranita didn't find this life boring. Although she was always anxious inside, she was content. She turned her head and her gaze fell on the man's tie.

"Your tie is crooked," Ranita helped him straighten it out and said calmly. "Just plain water is fine."

Ranita waited for the lunch box while Brendon made coffee and poured water for her. No one spoke but it was comforting and satisfying.

Brendon ate his lunch while Ranita flipped through magazines occasionally glancing at Brendon.

"You've looked at me 18 times already. Is there something you want to say?" Brendon stopped eating with chopsticks raised, arching an eyebrow as he asked Ranita. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Caught red-handed, Ranita's ears turned slightly red.

She did want to talk about the child but she felt that it wasn't appropriate now since they still had work to do, not to mention the unresolved issue between him and Shannon. Bringing up the topic of children would only make things more complicated.

Perhaps Ranita lacked confidence too.

"I haven't!" Ranita didn't want to admit anything, "How would I know if you're looking at me if I don't look back?"

She argued forcefully without reason.

Brendon chuckled softly in his throat as he looked at her with teasing and mocking expression, "If you really wanted to look, then just look openly. I won't scold you."

His voice was gentle which she never expected before.

Ranita felt extremely nervous but her heart was eager; like a moth drawn irresistibly towards the flame of tenderness without any resistance whatsoever from within herself.

"Is that so?" Her eyes curved into a happy smile as she asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Brendon held onto her hand while packing up the lunch boxes saying, "I'll finish my work today then we can go out for two days together. Relax our minds."

Now Ranita's heart almost flew away from its place!

"Where are we going? You're going out with me?" She never thought that Brendon would take the initiative to suggest going out together which really surprised her!

"Do you have any place in mind?" Of course there were! So many places where she wanted to go with him!

"What place do you want us to go?" She wished that she could immediately pull out her phone check where they could go but when facing Brendon, she restrained herself because what places she wanted might not be what he wanted too.

She was truly happy.

Her eyes curved like a crescent moon, sparkling with starlight. Her delicate features came to life as she relaxed her expression.

Like a child receiving her favorite toy or eating a sweet lollipop.

"Knock knock!" Julia entered the room and interrupted their conversation. "Mr. Stuart... Mr. Ramos is waiting in the conference room, are you ready to go?"

Afterwards, Julia nodded at Ranita again and said, "Miss Bowman, good afternoon."

As the matter at hand was more important, they didn't continue discussing the topic of going out to play, but instead shifted the conversation back to the interview.

As they walked, Brendon spoke to Ranita, "The HR department has already conducted two rounds of interviews, and the candidate has excellent qualifications in all aspects. However, since it's the position you once took over, I thought it would be best for you to have a look as well."

After pausing for several seconds, Brendon stopped and looked at Ranita, "Actually, there's no reason for you to leave Stuart's Corp now."

They weren't getting divorced after all.

Everything would continue as before.

Ranita shook her head, "No thanks, I just want some rest. Signing another contract with Stuart's Corp would be too busy."

"That makes sense," Brendon said with a smile before leaning closer and whispering into her ear. "You've lost so much weight lately... Your waist is smaller than my palm. I'm afraid it'll snap in half."
