My Billionaire Husband

Brianna thought it over and said, "Ok, but that's got nothing to do with me, right? I shall get back to work. I still need to finish the design for Andy Jordan."

Scott rested his chin on her shoulders for a while, and he could smell the familiar and pleasant scent of her body and hair. It was very similar to how he remembered it. Why? She's so similar to the little girl, especially in her personality and the scent, but she doesn't have the mole. He closed his eyes and decided again not to ask the question.

Brianna stood there still in his embrace. "Scott, I..." she muttered, then paused and hesitated. She wanted to know if she was the first girl that he had s.e.x with, but she then remembered that she was just a replacement to him. It doesn't matter if I am or not. I'm not the one he loves anyway.

Scott released her. "What is it?"

"Nothing."

"Say it."

"You probably won't answer me anyway."

"Well, that depends. If you say you love me more often, I might answer any questions you ask." Scott chuckled.

Brianna rolled her eyes at him and frowned. Seeing her reaction, Scott soon lost his cheerful cheekiness and said rather sulkily, "I see. You don't really love me, do you."

Brianna noticed his mood changed, and to please him, she stood tip-toed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him. "I love you, truly." She said gently. Scott didn't reject it, nor did he welcome it. He watched her act quietly.

Brianna went on kissing him for a while, and realizing how unresponsive he was, she gave up and said, "I feel like I was kissing a stone."

"A stone?" Scott glared at her. "Well, I can be as hard as a stone." He then smiled cheekily.

It took Brianna a few seconds to get his joke, and when she did, she pouted her lips and said, "Well, an ice cube then!"

Scott chuckled.

Brianna pushed him gently back to his seat and said softly, "Come on, the greatest Mr. Anderson, we should really get back to work." 

Scott sat down, but he didn't let Brianna go. Instead, he pulled her down, and she sat on his l.a.p. He kissed her neck, then bit it gently. Brianna shivered from p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. "Scott. Hey, Scott. Stop, please..."

Scott then bit her for real, and it hurt. "It hurts!" Brianna exclaimed.

Scott ignored her and bit her again.

"Scott! Honey! Honey! Please stop."

Scott went on. Brianna tried to think fast and wondered what she should say to please him. "Honey, I love you." She then said, and it seemed to work.

He stopped biting and started kissing her again. Ok. I guess he's pleased now. She thought. "Are you not going to tell me the same that you love me too?" She muttered.

"You wish," Scott said coldly.

Brianna got up, glared at him for a bit, and went back to her seat. He saw her sulky face and smiled. Cheeky thing.

Brianna took a deep breath and reconcentrated on the design. She had completed a few ones, but she didn't like any of them very much, feeling that something was missing. If I don't love it myself, they won't either. She thought and looked out of the window, watching the clouds, hoping to get some inspiration.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Jodie. Brianna went out to the balcony and answered.

"Hello, Jodie. You all right?"

"Brianna! What should I do?!" Jodie said worriedly. "Uncle Sean has a blind date today! He's having lunch with a woman!"

"A blind date? Really?"

"Jenny, his mother, has been threatening him lately, and he had to promise her that he would go and see other women. They want him to get married soon. They are just ridiculous!"

"I see. How do you feel? What are your thoughts?"

"I don't know." Jodie sounded upset. "I've heard that the woman is very pretty, well-educated, and brought up in a wealthy family. She even has her own company, and it's very successful. Jenny likes her a lot."

"Hmm. Jodie, perhaps it's a good thing. I mean, he isn't really the perfect man for you, considering his age especially. There's plenty of fish in the sea."

"But I...I... To me, he's the perfect one." 

Silly girl. She's young, beautiful, and smart. Men would easily fall for her, yet she only loves the one that has brought her up! If Sean feels differently, then she might give him up once he gets married, however, he likes her as well. Brianna thought.

Jodie had also told her that Sean's family didn't like her much. How is she going to persuade his parents? Brianna heaved a sigh.

"Hey, Brianna, you are my friend. Won't you help me to spoil their date?" Jodie suggested.

"Huh? Are you serious?"

"Of course I am! Imagine him being with someone else! I can't stand it." Jodie exclaimed.

"Why don't you talk to him first?" Brianna tried to calm her down. "He will go mad if..."

"Will you help me or not?" Jodie cut her short.

"Ok," Brianna said. "Yes, I will."

She hung up and went to talk to Scott. "Scott, can I go to meet Jodie for lunch?"

"What is it about?" Scott asked without looking up at her.

"Hmm. Sean has a blind date, and Jodie asked me to help too, to, err...interfere." Brianna explained.

"It's useless. Those two aren't meant for each other."

"Well, I should at least help. She's my friend, and she's determined."

Scott took his eyes off the screen, looked up at Brianna to see her sincerity, and said, "Alright."

"Thanks, honey." Brianna gave him a hug and a kiss, and as she was about to grab her bag and leave, Scott patted her head gently and said, "Cook lunch for me first."

"Oh. Sure. No problem." Brianna said cheerfully and rushed to the kitchen.

Somehow seeing her agile and cheerful moves, Scott felt much better.

About half an hour later, Brianna came out from the kitchen with a tray, on which was a plate of a classic club sandwich with a cup of coffee and a small salad.
