Andrew and Alveena just finished their meeting with one of the investors. The meeting ended up very well. The investor was convinced that Heavenly Star Enterprise was indeed a great company. They were just falsely accused by their competitor.

After hearing Andrew\'s explanation, the investor agreed to seal the deal with the branch. As a celebration, Andrew treated Alveena to a dinner.

The two of them enjoyed their meal in one of the famous restaurants in that country. While they were eating, they were also happily conversing about the positive result of today\'s meeting.

"Wow, among the investors, Mr. Arnold was the most kind of them all. He even allowed us to meet two days early than our appointment with him. Finally, someone has seen our efforts for the past few days!" Alveena said with her lively tone.

She was really happy because she was able to help Andrew in resolving the issue with one of the potential investors.

Andrew couldn\'t stop himself from smiling seeing Alveena\'s bubbly attitude today. He had to admit that Alveena had helped him a lot in convincing those investors to talk to them.

Mr. Arnold was very fond of Alveena so he allowed them to meet two days earlier than the scheduled date.

"Everything went smoothly because of your help. You deserve these bountiful rewards. Eat all you can, order all you want. It\'s on me," Andrew said, encouraging Alveena to order more food.

"I will not refuse this generous treat from you, Mr. Drunky!" Alveena responded with a grin.

Alveena and Andrew were both in a good mood. Since they pretended that the accidental kiss never happened, things between them didn\'t become awkward.

They were back on how they usually treat each other. Alveena would sometimes tease and annoy Andrew. On the other hand, Andrew would just have to put up his patience with her. He was already used to her playful personality.

"By the way, do you have any ideas who is responsible for this?" Alveena asked Andrew curiously.

Andrew looked at Alveena before answering her. "We already suspected Sy Corp before. My brother confirmed it after his assistant had done his investigation in the other branch."

Alveena stopped eating when she heard their company\'s name, Sy Corp. \'So my brother has something to do with this. He already started targeting Heavenly Star Enterprise. What a smart move. The CEO and Finance Director even stepped up to fix the problem personally.\'

Alveena\'s grip on the spoon tightened. She was reminded of the deal she made with her brother. She was worried that Andrew might find out her connection with the Sy Corp.

​ He would certainly get mad at her, thinking she was sent by her brother to become a spy. She didn\'t know how she would face Andrew once he learned the truth. Their friendship has just been improving lately. She didn\'t want to ruin it.

"Hey, are you okay?" Andrew asked Alveena when he noticed that she suddenly became quiet.

She just smiled at him sheepishly. She had lost her appetite but she tried her best to appear cheerful in front of Andrew. She was still bothered by the spying stuff her brother was asking her to do.

Alveena excused herself first and went to the comfort room. She needed to gather her emotions. She\'s afraid that Andrew would suspect her.

She was about to enter the girl\'s comfort room when someone noticed her presence and called her out.

"Alveena, is that you? What are you doing here?" A baritone voice of a man was heard. There was a look of surprise in his eyes as he watched Alveena.

She turned around only to see a man in his black suit. She frowned upon seeing the guy. He seemed familiar to her but she couldn\'t remember when and where she saw that man.

"Excuse me. Do I know you?" Alveena asked him in confusion. She watched him from top to bottom, checking him out.

If her estimation was right, the man in front of her was in his mid-20s, having the same age as her. He was tall with 6 feet height and had a good body built as well. He was also good-looking with his clean-shaven image.

The man gave her an amused look, letting out a husky laugh. He moved closer to her. He was emanating a friendly vibe around him as if the two of them already knew each other

"Don\'t you know? I am your future husband," The stranger said to her in his suave tone.

Alveena squinted her eyes at him because of his overbearing confidence. \'Wait… what did he just say? Future husband… Shit… Don\'t tell me… he is.\'

Alveena\'s eyes widened in disbelief when she finally recognized the person in front of her. "Brandon?" She mumbled his name. He was Brandon, the youngest son of her parent\'s friend, whom they were planning to set her up with in an arranged marriage.

"Yes, It\'s me, Brandon. I didn\'t expect to see you here. I was supposed to meet you in the City of Empire together with our parents but you stood me up. You never came, only your parents arrived in the meeting place," Brandon blatantly said while chuckling. It sounded like a joke but there was a gleam of disappointment in his eyes.

Alveena felt awkward because of his frankness as if he was making her feel guilty for him.

\'Damn. Is my brother telling the truth? This Brandon took a fancy of me? Argh. I need to stay away from him and turn him down right away. I don\'t want him to have false hope. I will never marry him.\' Alveena mumbled to herself while looking at Brandon with complicated emotions.

"Hello, Brandon. Sorry for not attending that dinner. But since we met here…  I\'ll be honest with you." Alveena gazed at him straight into his eyes. Brandon was also looking at her, anticipating her next words.

"You are not my type so please don\'t spread rumors that you will become my husband. People who hear this might misunderstand."

Brandon: "..."

If Brandon was frank then no one could beat Alveena for her bluntness. Brandon was dumbfounded by her super honest remarks. She didn\'t even give him a slight chance, dumping him right away.

Alveena took the chance that Brandon was still in a trance. She grabbed his shoulders and turned him around as she pointed her finger in the direction of their table where Andrew was waiting for her.

"Can you see that man sitting at table #14? He is my type. Just to let you know, we are having a dinner date right now so stop thinking about marrying me, okay? Just find another woman." Alveena said firmly without any restraints.

When she was done, Alveena said goodbye to Brandon before entering the girl\'s comfort room. Brandon just stood in his spot, glancing at Alveena\'s retreating back.

He never expected that Alveena would be so mean, hurting his ego during their first meeting. But he was not mad instead, he was fascinated by her. He liked her honesty and bluntness. He became more interested in her.

\'Hmm, Alveena Sy. I am not the kind of guy who will give up easily once I set my eyes on a girl. The moment I saw your picture and learned about your background and personality, I already told myself that I want you to be my wife.\'

"I love challenges. Without challenge then there\'s no fun. You will fall for me eventually, my future wife." Brandon uttered with a look of determination in his eyes.

He averted his gaze to Andrew\'s direction one last time. "Hmm, So this guy is her type? Where did I see this guy? It seems like I\'ve already seen him somewhere. He looks familiar."

Brandon tried scanning his memory, hoping he would remember Andrew but failed.

"Hmm, nevermind. I need to find out why Alveena is here. Better to ask Clifford. Maybe he knows the answer," Brandon made a mental note.

He also decided to monitor Alveena. Just like Alveena and Andrew, Brandon was there for a business trip. But he already sealed the deal with his clients so he had free time to monitor and meet Alveena anytime he wanted.

Brandon went back to their table where his clients were still eating together with his assistant. From their location, he could see Alveena and Andrew.

Alveena noticed Brandon stealing glances at them from time to time. \'Damn, he is watching me. He is creeping me out.\'

Then Alveena turned to Andrew who was enjoying his meal. An idea popped up in her mind. She cleared her throat to catch his attention and she succeeded.

Andrew glanced at her with a questioning gaze while Alveena flashed her charming smile, giving him a puppy-eyed look.

"What?"

"Hmm, feed me!" Alveena requested Andrew out of the blue. It sounded more like a command rather than a request.

Andrew just watched her with disbelief.

"Excuse me? What did you say?"
