Chapter 679

"Go for it."

Brandon said, hitting the pause button on the hairdryer and turning to her, "Anything of mine you want to check out or use, just go ahead. No need to ask me. We don't have to stand on ceremony with each other."

He'd said something similar to her before, but she just didn't remember.

Brandon's eyes twinkled with amusement: "I have no secrets from you."

"There you go, no sooner had you said you'd take it lying down than you

Brandon's eyes gleamed even more with humor: "Well, if I'm willing to take it lying down, don't get greedy, alright?"

"If you're already taking it lying down, why worry about whether I'm pushing my luck or not? You've already thrown your principles out the window."
