Chapter 66 - 66. His Heart Is Getting Hot And Burning

Damn, just thinking about such things wakes up junior Brian. What's wrong with him? Is this the effect of being away from Elise? Is it because of his need for sex? Or is it something else? Gosh, Brian feels really frustrated. In like a man thirsty for caress and pleasure.

Brian needs to take his mind off and focus on doing his job. The man is now sitting behind his oversized table. His eyes focus on the laptop screen.

A knock on the door was heard. Brian loudly said come in. Brian's door slowly opened, a woman stepped into the room. She smiled at Brian, who remained focused and undisturbed by her presence. A woman wearing a knee-length dress and carrying a tote bag in her hand.

She walked slowly over to Brian.

"Looks like you are very busy," said the woman which immediately made Brian surprised and raised his head. His body jolted in surprise to see Elena standing in front of him. The woman smiled broadly to greet Brian.

Brian's heart was beating very fast. Maybe because he was so shocked by Elena's presence or because of Elena's pretty smile.

It must be because Brian was just shocked. But why did his heart keep beating so fast and didn't want to calm down. Is there a heart problem? Should Brian go to the heart doctor for a checkup? Because he has experienced this many times and strangely Brian's heart always beats fast when Elena smiles pretty or shows an embarrassed face in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" Brian tried to divert his thoughts.

Elena lifted the tote bag containing the lunch box.

"I brought you a packed lunch." Again Elena smiled. Naturally, Brian was surprised and confused by Elena's presence in this office. Because Elena rarely comes here, if not Brian who asked her to come.

Today Elena deliberately made and brought lunch for Brian. Elena realized that Brian's attitude had been different from her for several days. The man seemed to avoid it. Elena doesn't understand why. As Elena could remember, she had never done anything wrong or upset Brian. For that Elena prepared this lunchbox to talk to the man. And one more thing, Elena just wanted to get out of the mansion.

"You don't have to bother bringing lunch."

"Why?"

"I can eat out. You don't have to prepare lunch and come here."

"So it's true, you were avoiding me?"

"What?!" Brian asked quickly.

"You always avoid and stay away from me. Every time I want to talk to you, you always find reasons to go and get away. What's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?" Elena caught Brian's eye. Their distance is limited only by a large table. But still Elena couldn't understand Brian's gaze right now.

Brian glanced at Elena. He didn't expect Elena to think that way about him. He has indeed stayed away and avoided Elena this week. But not because Elena made a mistake. Brian's wrong. Troubled heart and mind. The more you think about it the more it makes Brian not understand.

It all started from that night. He kept thinking about Elena not only that woman's body, but her smile. And when Brian walked away somehow he was frustrated because he wanted to be close to Elena.

He had thought about this before. Maybe because it has been a long time since we met Elise that it made him feel this way with Elena. Elena's face which is similar to Elise's also adds to the point in that. But now Brian really knows the difference between Elena and Elise. They are two different women. And Brian didn't feel this way at all when he was apart from Elise. He was indeed nervous but not as frustrated as he is now. Brian hadn't even contacted Elise in weeks.

"Brian, sorry if I made you angry or made a mistake," said Elena which made Brian focus back on Elena.

Mistake? Yeah, that woman must have done something to make Brian turn weird like this.

The door to Brian's room opened quickly, Fredy just walked in, making Elena and Brian turn at the same time.

"Brian, come on ma—" Fredy stopped saying. His eyes grew bigger when he saw Elena.

"Elena, you are here." Fredy smiled broadly and walked over to Elena.

Brian clenched his fists. What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly have burning coals in his chest? This is weird. Very strange.

"What are you doing here?" Again, Fredy greets Elena. The man stood by Elena's side and stared at the beautiful face of the woman.

"I brought lunch," Elena replied pleasantly with a smile on her face.

"Really? What a coincidence, I'm already very hungry. Can I come to eat that lunch?"

Elena fell silent, her forehead frowned slightly. Slhe thinks if the food ahe has brought is enough for two people.

Brian stared at Elena as quickly as Fredy did at this time. If Fredy hopes Elena agrees then Brian hopes Elena refuses.

"Hmm, looks like enough for two people," replied Elena in the end. Fredy smiled broadly while Brian stared hard and annoyed.

Did Elena forget Brian's warning? Fredy is a crocodile stamp playboy, and Brian has warned Elena to stay away from him, but why did he even agree to Fredy 's wish to join lunch together.

"Come on, I'm already very hungry and can't wait to eat your cooking." Fredy quickly took over the tote bag and walked towards the sofa in Brian's room.

Elena smiled then followed Fredy. With a heavy heart and annoyed Brian got up and sat on the sofa.

Elena took out a lunch box from the tote bag and arranged it on the table.

"Woah, you cooked soy sauce chicken and sweet and sour squid," said Fredy happily. Elena just nodded. Brian was silent, his face still wrinkled.

In the end Brian and Fredy started eating lunch while Elena just watched them eat quietly. The pregnant woman had already eaten at the mansion. Besides, if she joins the meal, the portion will be less.

Fredy looked at Elena full of smiles. He is indeed attracted to Elena. And it just made Brian even more upset.

"Your stomach is very big. How many months?"

"It's been six months."

"Really, wow in three months you will give birth."

"Yes." Elena smiled with her right hand rubbing her stomach.

"I hear you're pregnant with twins."

Elena smiled wider and lowered her head. Both hands rubbed the stomach.

"I can't wait to see them appear in this world."

Brian and Fredy both smiled broadly. Elena's maternal side radiates clearly. The look in her eyes even implied very much affection for her son.

"Elena," called Fredy after a few seconds they were silent. Fredy and Brian are done eating. Elena is still tidying their used food.

Elena looked up and looked at Fredy with an eyebrow raised.

"Have you ... had a lover?" Finally the question came out too. It has been a long time since Fredy wanted to ask this question. If Elena doesn't have a lover, Fredy will be excited about approaching her.

Brian was surprised, he never thought Fredy would ask that.

"What?!" Elena was very surprised by Fredy's sudden question.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" asked Fredy again

"Why?" Instead of answering Elena, she asked back.

And it is beyond Fredy?  estimation. The man scratched his nape which didn't itch. Move restlessly and uncomfortable. What should he answer? He really didn't expect Elena to ask why.

Elena looked closely at Fredy. Boyfriend? That question made Elena pay close attention to Fredy. The man had quite a handsome face. His skin was brown and he was tall and sturdy. Fredy also has a great job.

Elena smiled and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

What a shocking question. The two men who were in front of Elena were both shocked. Didn't expect Elena to ask back.

Is Elena also interested in Fredy? Fredy even realized that Elena was staring completely at himself. It seems that the woman is indeed interested, the proof is that she asked the same thing with Fredy.

Fredy smiled happily.

"He's got lots of girlfriends," Brian replied quickly. Somehow his heart is getting hot and burning. As far as he remembered, he ate rice and soy sauce chicken instead of drinking gasoline which could raise the flames in his heart.

Fredy glared at Brian. Don't like what Brian said. Meanwhile, Brian was indifferent and pretended not to notice Fredy's sharp gaze for him.

"I told you, he's a playboy. He has lots of girlfriends and always breaks up with girlfriends when he's bored."

"Is it true?"

"You know, he's changing girlfriends as if he's changing clothes."

"Hey! I'm not like that," said Fredy did not accept.

"Too bad," said Elena sadly.

"I'll break up with all my girlfriends if you want," Fredy flirted which made Brian glower at him.

"No. I can't possibly introduce a playboy to Mira. Even if you say you will change, I don't change my mind. For me Mira deserves a nice guy and not a former Playboy."
