Chapter 766

With his arm around her shoulder, Brandon gently said, “As a boss, you shouldn’t make your assistant work overtime on opening day. Let’s head back; the client isn’t going anywhere.”

Natalie sighed, feeling helpless since Lexi had already left and she couldn’t investigate further.

“I guess things have to be left as they are. I’ll look into it tomorrow.” Brandon smiled and led her to the car.

With her chin propped up, she gazed out the window, contemplating how to address Carly’s issue.

It wasn’t until the car stopped and she saw the unfamiliar scenery outside that she realized something was off.

“Aren’t we supposed to be going home? Where are we?”

Grinning, Brandon revealed, “Today’s the first day your studio is open. I booked a table at your favorite restaurant to celebrate your business’s successful launch.”

As he spoke, he exited the car and gallantly opened the door for Natalie, extending his hand to help her out.

Natalie smiled and took Brandon’s hand.

“That’s so sweet of you.”

Brandon had arranged for the restaurant to prepare Natalie’s favorite dishes, and once they were seated, the waiter brought the food to the table one by one.

Natalie felt grateful seeing her husband being so thoughtful and attentive.

She looked at the handsome man across from her and said affectionately, “Thank you, Brandon.”

Brandon poured a glass of wine for Natalie and gently replied, “You don’t have to thank me.”

After all the dishes were served, the waiter brought a special cake that Brandon had customized.

Upon seeing the cake, Natalie furrowed her brows and asked, “Why is the cake this flavor?”

Usually, Brandon knew her preferences; why would he order a cake in her least favorite flavor? Brandon also frowned.

“This isn’t the flavor I ordered. Did you bring the wrong cake?”
