Chapter 2

Suddenly, I feel a little nauseous.

I didn't eat the food, so Galen ate them all.

He was still joking.

"I was wondering why you, a handsome person, have been single for three years in college. You even have rejected so many people who confessed their love to you. It turns out you like a girl like Sasha."

Sasha smiled and tilted her head to look at Boris.

"Didn't you say no one likes you?"

Feeling that something was fishy, Galen put his arms around Boris' neck.

"Boris, tell me the truth. How did you date a girl? I want to learn from you."

I saw the scene quietly, and he deliberately avoided my gaze. Sasha seemed to find it very interesting and then wore a smile.

"He has been pursuing me for almost a year."

Boris dared not to look at her, and his ears turned red.

Sasha was amused by his reaction, reached out, and poked his cheek.

She added, "He invites me to the cinema with snacks and drinks every day. Many people like him, and it can't make me feel secure, so I never agree.

"Until..."

She said as she had a gastroenteritis cold, he rushed over in the rain.

He stayed with her all the time.

Also, he gave her his salary and reported her what he had done, which made her feel secure.

I was familiar with every one of them.

"The key is that he really understands what I want. Because I wanted to go to Qelton's concert, he waited for three days and nights just to get me a ticket."

"Is it the Qelton's concert on March 1st?" I asked out loud.

"Yes, that's right. It's close to the university, so there is a huge rush to get tickets. Fortunately, Boris made it," Sasha said helplessly.

It was a concert that I had always wanted to go to.

I planned to go with him.

After waiting for three days and nights, I finally got two tickets.

Having gotten the tickets, I excitedly gave them to him, but I didn't go in the end.

At that moment, he persuaded me to give up, for one of his friends wanted to pursue a girl who also liked Qelton.

He transferred double the ticket money to my account.

I was quite disappointed, but there would be concerts later. Since his friend asked him for help, I should do him a favor.

I didn't realize that tickets were for him to pursue a girl until now.

It turned out that what I had done benefited others.

After that, I didn't join in the conversation among the three of them.

Boris wanted to chat with me from time to time, but I was always looking down at my phone, pretending not to hear him.

Tommy Harris who had already graduated sent me a message, and I clicked to read it.

I guessed that it was probably a project outsourced to our company, and there were a few points that I needed to adjust.

I asked for details and got so caught up in the work that I forgot about the people around me for a moment.

When everyone around me fell completely quiet, I looked up and saw Galen's inquiring gaze.

"Mina, I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond. You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

I was about to explain when Boris was coughing, and it seemed that he was choked by the chili pepper.

Suddenly, I didn't want to deny it anymore.

"Yes, I indeed have a boyfriend."

Galen and Boris' faces darkened after hearing what I said.

Galen even jumped up from his chair, looking like he was furious, and yelled at me.

"Mina, ask that bastard out. I'm going to break his legs.

"Unexpectedly, I always keep watch on you, but you still have a boyfriend.

"I want to see who is so bold as to date my sister."

Feeling helpless, I even wanted to tell him the truth.

Boris' eyes were fixed on me. Even without looking up, I could sense the panic in his eyes.

I had no idea why he was panicking.

Maybe he thought that the person I had mentioned just now was him.

Or he believed that I would expose it in public and hurt another person.

"Mina, you've just entered the internship stage, so you should tell us if you find a boyfriend."

I nodded. "Right, I indeed need you two to check on him for me."

Boris' eyes were always on my phone, watching me put the microphone to my ear.

The call was connected.

"Tommy, let's meet and talk."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded calm and pleasant. "Give me the address. It's evening now. Do you want to eat anything? I'll bring it to you."

I agreed. "Come here and eat together."

Chapter 3

Tommy's company was not far away, only about 30 minutes' walk.

If he drove, he would come here faster.

Galen was very angry at first, thinking about how to break the man's legs.

But as he saw the person coming, he dared not to do anything.

"Boris? Tommy?"

Tommy's gaze then fell on the girl next to Boris. When he looked at me again, there was a bit more curiosity in his eyes.

I didn't even need to exchange any secret signals with him, for he had already known what was going on.

The tacit understanding between people was sometimes so strange.

Some might not have a tacit understanding even after repeating their cooperation countless times.

However, some could cooperate perfectly after just a few times of getting along.

He walked over to me and gently helped me tidy up the loose hair around my ears.

His voice was clear and gentle, with a hint of teasing.

"Mina, you should inform me in advance if you want me to meet your brother." He then turned to my brother. "I hope I won't be rude by showing up so abruptly!"

"Did I disturb your work? Otherwise..."

My original intention was to leave with him, but I was interrupted as his hand slowly lay on my head.

Tommy's voice was very pleasant, with a gentle and doting tone.

"Never mind. If you call me, I will always come."

I surrendered instantly. It seemed like my body was electrified, and I felt like I was being aroused.

Hearing a sneer, I came to my senses.

It was from Boris.

His expression looked weird at the moment, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to stab someone.

As he looked at Tommy, his eyes were filled with unkindness.

"Tommy, you're indeed a business elite. After working for so many years, you should be very popular with rich women, right? Otherwise, why do you like a girl like that..."

What he said made people feel uncomfortable.

Galen scolded him immediately, "Boris, you are going too far."

Tommy's expression also changed. He wanted to speak but was interrupted by me.

I stood up and glared at him. My patience with him had already worn out.

"Boris, I know what kind of Tommy was better than you. As for whether he likes me or not, does it have anything to do with you?"

Boris was helpless but insisted, "As your brother's friend, I'm just concerned about you..."

I crossed my arms and smiled, "Even so, it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, without noticing Galen's reaction, I pulled Tommy and left.
