Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 107

Hearing footsteps approaching, Brandon immediately fell silent and looked toward the courtyard.

Briar, dressed in a tracksuit, was walking toward them. Ashton turned around and checked the time on his watch. It had been ten minutes Facing Briar, he smiled and said, “Looks like you’re hungry.”

She used ten minutes to get dressed and wash up. By any standard, that was impressively fast for a girl.

Briar smiled. “Yeah, I’m hungry.”

Briar didn’t usually wear makeup, but she would at least take care of her skincare routine. However, today she had come out without applying anything after washing her face. She planned to head back to bed after breakfast anyway.

Ashton and Briar went inside to eat breakfast, while Brandon stayed outside practicing his martial arts and going over the tasks Ashton had assigned him.

After finishing the last spoonful of scrambled egg, Ashton handed her a napkin and asked, “It’s your day off. Got any plans?”

Briar took the napkin and met his gaze. “Unless you need my help with something, I plan to sleep all day.”

They were both sleep–deprived, and now that they were neighbors, Briar didn’t mind earning some money while she was at it.

Catching her implied suggestion, Ashton’s expression softened. He immediately offered a way out, without hesitation. “I have a meeting at the company this morning. I can clear two hours at noon. Briar, want to come to my company and hang out?”

Briar looked up just as a beam of sunlight fell across her pale and beautiful face. Her smile took on a soft, mysterious charm. “Sure! If you’re not worried that my gaming will distract you from your work, I’ll go get changed right now.”

She was about to stand up.

Ashton reached out at the right moment and grabbed her wrist. His fingers brushed against the warmth and softness of her skin, pleasant and delicate. He controlled the pressure, resisting the urge to caress or squeeze. “No need to change. You look great just like this.”
