Chapter 75 - You Love Him

The next day, Brione's commercial wrapped up earlier than expected so Mitch requested Manager Ruth to make arrangements for their return flight.

Brione sighed as she looked at her phone. She wondered if she should tell Cedric but figured that Manager Ruth would probably inform him that she and her team would leave the island in about an hour.

She wanted to call him but hesitated because she was sure Cedric was busy at that moment. They could only talk at night before going to bed.

Manager Ruth came to pick her up and dropped her and her team at the airport for their flight back to their country.

It was a long flight so Brione did nothing but sleep and rest during the entire ride. The plane finally landed in their country.

"I want to go straight to my brother's house Mitch," Brione whispered as they got down from the airplane.

"Alright then, you should spend as much time as possible with your family since we will get very busy with the shooting of your new drama soon," Mitch commented.

Outside the airport, her bodyguard/driver Rue was already waiting for her in a car.

"Hello Rue!" Berry greeted with a wink. Rue's face reddened as he greeted Berry back while scratching his head embarrassedly. Then he looked at Brione and said, "Welcome back Boss. Hope you had a nice flight. Sir Noah instructed me to drive you to their place directly so you can have dinner with them."

Brione nodded with a smile since that was what she had in mind too. She looked at Berry and Mitch and said, "I will be leaving first. You girls make sure to reach home safely" 

The two women nodded after which Brione waved goodbye to the rest of the team before going inside the car.

"Rue will soon be replaced. I should request for his service instead," Berry whispered to Mitch as her eyes followed the hot bodyguard Noah had assigned to protect Brione just a month ago.

Mitch frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, our Prince is a very possessive man so I'm sure he will replace Rue with a female bodyguard soon…" Berry mumbled as she walked towards the car waiting for them.

"You don't need to have Rue at your service," Mitch scoffed inside the car.

"Why? Do you want him instead? I can remove him from my list if you want him, Manager Mitch…" Berry teased.

Mitch only rolled her eyes instead of replying as she knew that the topic would end up becoming a big deal if she entertained Berry's antics.

At Yu's  Residence.

Brione was warmly welcomed by the couple as soon as she entered their house. She immediately hugged and carried the little boy who was also excited to see her.

"Pretty Auntie!" Calvin shouted as the little boy kissed her cheek.

Brione on the other hand rained her nephew's cheeks with kisses making little Calvin giggle in delight.

"Hmm, you still smell like a baby, my cute Calvin. Auntie has a lot of surprises for you!" Brione said and the three-year-old kid cheered enthusiastically.

"Let's go and eat first. Later you can play with your Auntie as much as you want." Luo said and coaxed her son before letting Noah carry him.

She held Brione's hand and directly pulled her to the dining area.

"I prepared all your favorite dishes. So eat till your stomach bursts," Luo commented and guided Brione to her chair. Brione smiled at her sister-in-law who was always sweet and thoughtful about her. She was grateful her brother found the best partner for himself and she also gained a sister-in-law in return.

"Big Sis, you prepared too many things. But don't worry I will eat everything heartily. Thank you for doing this," Brione said before she started digging into her food.

After dinner, Luo took Brione to the living room to have some tea with her before she left.

"Will you see me as a busybody if I ask you what's happening between you and the Prince?" Luo asked with slight hesitation, making Brione smile.

Brione chuckled and said, "Of course not big sis. I promised that I wouldn't keep anything a secret from you so I will be honest about whatever you want to know. What do you want to know about Cedric?"

"Nothing much. I'm just curious to hear about him from you."

Brione smiled and said, "Cedric is a nice guy. He's someone… hmmm, how should I say it… Someone shameless but not in a bad way. I like it, I mean, I love how bold he is and how he shows his true feelings without caring about others. He's the straightforward type of man. What you see is what you get…"

"You like him?" Luo asked to which Brione nodded while blushing a bit.

"I like him a lot…"

"Because he has the same face as Gavin?"

Brione immediately shook her head before clarifying, "At first that's what I thought too… I was so drawn to him that I tried to convince myself that it was because he had Gavin's face but I knew I was wrong. I tried to let him go but I just couldn't. Just the thought of staying away from him makes my heart ache. I feel suffocated when he's not around me" Brione confessed.

"You love him," Luo whispered. She was shocked by Brione's confession as it had only been a short time since they got to know each other. But then, it was not impossible since love always moves in mysterious ways…

"Brione, I'm planning to visit you in your penthouse but I have other motives…" Luo straightforwardly informed her.

"What do you mean Bis Sis?"

"Do you think you can help me to get inside Gavin's penthouse?" Luo seriously asked. After knowing that Brione is in love with Cedric, Luo had this intense desire to complete her investigation as soon as possible.

"Why? I mean I have already asked big bro to stop the investigation." Brione whispered.

Luo smiled and said, "Hmm I know and he did stop. I just wanted to see something. I mean I'm curious about something… So can you get me in? Do it only if it's possible okay?"

"Alright… I can get you in since I always check his penthouse once in a while. Just tell me when you want to look around Big Sis and I'll take you there," Brione said with a half-smile. She wanted to ask what her sister-in-law wanted to check in Gavin's penthouse but she didn't ask.

"It's nothing serious, so please don't worry about it Brione.  You already know how I am when it comes to such things. I started the investigation and took it personally so I want to close it properly," Luo explained. She did not want to elaborate more until all her data was confirmed. She decided to finish things first before updating Brione about it otherwise she would end up adding more worry on Brione's shoulders.
