Chapter 26 Not a Trifled Person

“Brendon, I knew you were always the best to me!"

"Alright, enough of acting like kids!" Brendon indulged her tantrum, a faint smile playing on his lipsShannon gently took hold of Brendon's hand, tilting her chin upward, her doe-like eyes innocent yealluring, her red lips slightly parted. "Brendon, you promised, you would always spoil me,” she said."Hmm!" Brendon lowered his head to look at the document and casually responded.

"By the way, Brendon... Last time I saw Ranita getting close to Mr. Webster, does she like him?"Brendon felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart and said, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"Brendon, I'm not just talking nonsense here! Ranita is divorced and all alone. If she could replace aboyfriend to take care of her, then both you and I would feel more at ease!” Shannon lookedworried for Ranita, as if she was her own daughter.

"She doesn't like Dylan!" Brendon said in a flat tone as he opened the door and got out of the car.Shannon had to hurry to catch up with him.

This was a very stylish restaurant that had been listed in the Michelin Guide, so both the dishes andservice were excellent.

Suddenly, Shannon's eyes lit up as she tugged on Brendon’s arm. "Brendon, is that Ranita overthere? She's also eating here!"

Brendon fixed his gaze and immediately recognized Ranita.

The woman was laughing, her eyes curved like a bridge and her gaze bright as she spoke with herhead lowered. Every now and then, she looked up at the other person. Under the light, her facialfeatures were very clear and vivid, like a blooming white peony - fresh and incredibly alluring.Brendon's heart gave a hard thump.

"Brendon, who is that man? I feel like I recognize his back...” Shannon didn't mind getting involvedand held onto Brendon's arm, saying, "Why don't we go say hello?"

“No!" Brendon refused.

But as luck would have it, their table was right next to Ranita's.

So they looked at each other, and everyone fell silent at the same time.

"Brendon?" Steve Pearson was the first to react, pinching his gold-rimmed glasses and asking in acold voice, "What a coincidence, are you here for dinner with Shannon?"

Steve ran a private hospital. He was also a genius doctor and very handsome, which made himextremely popular!

"Hey, Steve!" Everyone in the circle knew each other, so Shannon naturally knew Steve. "Steve, areyou going on a date with Ranita? This is the first time I've seen you eat with a girl since we werekids!" Shannon teased with a hint of meaning.

Steve didn't respond but instead pushed his glasses up and said, "Brendon, take her out for a mealquickly! I need to talk to Ranita.”

"Ranita?" Brendon thought, replaceing it oddly easy to say her name. He grumbled inwardly.

"Oh my, you're really nervous about Ranita, aren't you, Steve?" Shannon leaned against Brendon asif she had no bones. "We won't disturb you two anymore. Ranita, Brendon and I are going to eat.”Although the table was next to theirs, the design inside was very good. There was a screen in themiddle with some green plants blocking it. Speaking softly wouldn't affect anyone around them."You and Brendon..." Steve pinched his glasses and looked at Ranita with interest. "Shannon is notan easy person to deal with."

"Don't mention them." Ranita narrowed her eyes and changed the subject: "By the way, this is yourreport that you asked me to proofread. I've already corrected it for you."

Steve had asked her to proofread his latest academic research results which needed to be publishecin a professional journal. There were many difficult-to-understand professional terms inside andforeign language sentence structures were different from their language; once there was an error,the meaning would be completely different. Therefore Steve asked for her help.
