18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 266

It was not just that he had seen her before. She had even suffered his pettiness back in the auto club. He was a real handful, to say the least. If it wasn't for the sake of capturing video content to gain followers, she wouldn't have put up with him. Stella smirked, "Are you trying to hit on me, Bran?"

Wait, what? That threw Bran off balance.

Sure, she was attractive and had a strong personality, standing out like a thorny rose in the dull post-apocalyptic world. But let's get one thing straight: while Bran welcomed a challenge, he wasn't desperate.

People saw him as a ladies' man, but ever since he had spent 80 million on a pink diamond, he had planned to settle down. Unfortunately, his girlfriend had gone missing during the apocalypse.

Thinking about it, it had been a while since he had been with a woman.

"Sorry, I'm spoken for," Stella said, holding Jasper's hand. "And it's been three years since the apocalypse, and your pick-up lines could use some work. I'm not interested in you, so could you please keep your distance in the future?"

A young girl jumped out, her small face flushed with anger. "You're a bad man. Stella belongs to my brother."

"Woof!" Cooper growled, his eyes filled with fury, ready to tear him apart, his tail standing up in anger. Surrounded by hostility, Bran was speechless. Who gave them the idea that he was interested in her?

By the time he came to his senses, Stella and her group had already walked away. Wait, were they messing with him?

Turning around, he saw the security team was still there. Bran took a deep breath, suppressing his temper, and asked the head of the security team, "Who knows what's going on with unit 50?"

Despite being responsible for the security of the entire neighborhood, the head of the security team knew who the real boss was. "Samuel, step forward."

So, Samuel was left behind.

Bran was satisfied with the head of the security team's performance and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience today. Collect your five pounds of food later."

"Thank you, Mr. Bran."
