“Brother, if Dolly hadn’t died, wouldn’t you have pulled yourself together immediately?” Anastasia asked. At once Brayden raised his head and looked seriously at the woman in front of him, with a slight expectation in his eyes, and clutched her arm, “Have you found her? She’s not dead is she!”
Leon, next to him, also had a surprised expression.
In fact, Anastasia’s remark was just a way to get Brayden’s attention.
“Big brother, I’ll help you find your sister-in-law, you cheer up, okay?” Anastasia like coaxing a small child has been coaxing Brayden, next to Leon’s heart is very puzzled.
Even if Dolly is still alive now, but where are they going to find? Leon nudged Anastasia next to him, his eyes full of questions.
Anastasia blinked at him, signaling not to speak, and Leon immediately turned his face away in silence.
“Can you really find her?” Brayden asked anxiously.
Looking at the vicissitudes of the face in front of her, Anastasia’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife and she patted herself down and answered with conviction.
“Yes, don’t worry, big brother, I will definitely find her!”
Brayden immediately straightened up, pulled himself together, grabbed his jacket next to him, and walked straight out of the office.
Looking at the distant back, Leon was surprised, this is already fully recovered? He looked at Anastasia next to him incredulously and was pleasantly surprised, “Good for you.”
Anastasia glanced at him, lifting her chin slightly in a proud manner, before striding out of the office and rushing after Brayden.
Since the moment Anastasia promised Brayden to find Dolly, Brayden has been working as hard as a stimulant, without stopping for a moment.
Anastasia and Leon were both happy and worried as they watched the changes in him.
“Hey, what are you going to do?” Outside the office, Leon looked inside at Brayden and asked Anastasia next to him.
What else can we do? Anastasia sighed softly, although Dolly’s hope of survival was very slim.
“I’m going to the beach to look carefully.” She said firmly, no matter what, since she had promised Brayden, she had to do it, even if the end result was bad.
Leon swept Anastasia into his arms and gently kissed her forehead, his face was pleased, “It’s been hard on you.”
It’s hard work indeed! She has been running around non-stop for the past few days for Brayden, and it’s good to see that Brayden has resumed her previous work status.
Vincent thought that after Dolly’s death, Brayden would remain decadent and his acquisition of Kirkland Group would be imminent, but what he didn’t expect was that Brayden had already turned on the workaholic mode.
“What the hell are you guys doing? Can’t even do such a simple thing well!” In the office, Vincent threw all the papers on his desk to the floor with an angry expression.
The few people in front of me bowed their heads and trembled, not daring to say a word more, and yes, the acquisition of Kirkland Group failed.
“Get out of here, all of you!” Vincent completely exploded, damn Brayden for putting in so much work so quickly!
“Pop!” Vincent hit a fist directly on the back wall, and instantly, a stream of blood flowed out between his fingers.
The Kirkland Group is now fully restored to its former vitality, with every employee in high spirits, continuing to work on their own tasks without the slightest sign of slacking off.
It was probably Brayden’s recovery that gave them the motivation to fight again.
Watching all this, Anastasia was relieved, her heart no longer had the previous tension, and while walking into Brayden’s office, she smiled and whispered, “Brother, well done!”
Brayden smiled and continued flipping through the papers in his hand, knowing naturally that she was talking about her success in blocking Vincent’s acquisition of the Kirkland Group.
“What about you? Did you find Dolly?” Brayden asked directly, without looking up.
All of a sudden, Anastasia’s face was a little embarrassed, she had searched all the homes on the beach, but still no sign of Dolly, stammering and explaining, “That, big brother, you know, this thing takes time.”
Brayden’s eyes flashed a trace of loss, in fact, he knew in his heart that he was only fooling himself, falling into such a large, deep sea, how could Dolly be alive?
He just didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that the woman had died.
“Go ahead, I have things I need to take care of, come back and see me when you find Dolly.” Brayden’s voice was weary.
Anastasia shook her head, a little saddened, she understood Brayden’s feelings at this time, just as she did when she lost both parents at the same time, but life must go on!
Anastasia slowly exited the office with a sad look.
Brayden put down the pen in his hand, walked to the window, slowly lit a cigarette and smoked it.
Dolly, don’t worry, I will take good care of Mrs. and Franklin. he looked up and looked at the sky as if he was searching for something.
“Brayden, let’s go to dinner together.” Aston’s voice, sounding sexy.
A cold light flashed together in Brayden’s eyes before he walked over to his desk and continued to look at his papers, not bothering her.
Aston straightened his back and took three steps in front of him, blowing hot air in his ear, causing Brayden to be very upset.
“Get out!” The cold voice and appalling expression made Aston’s body tremble unconsciously, and for a moment, her face was, well, embarrassed.
“That, haven’t you eaten yet? Let’s go eat together.” Aston gathered his emotions and said in a serious manner.
Brayden did not say anything, just remained silent, very high and cold, and did not seem to hear what she had just said. Soon, Aston in front of him got anxious and slapped Brayden’s back hard, repeating what he had just said.
“You’re on your own, I’m not going.” Brayden shrugged off his arm and said directly.
Such an open and honest rejection, such a cold reaction, really let Aston some chills. She paused, wanted to say something, but did not dare to speak, and finally, still stepped on a pair of hate sky high to leave.
In less than half an hour, Aston arrived at Kirkland Group directly with a lunchbox and placed it on Brayden’s desk, “Here, it’s for you.”
She couldn’t stand the sight of Brayden not eating on time and at the right time.
Brayden in front of him, still unresponsive, Aston sat on the couch next to him, staring deadpan at the person not far away, a little heartbroken. She has liked him for so long, but she still can’t go deep inside him, even though Dolly is dead, which is really sad to think about.
“What are you still doing here?” Brayden asked coldly, staring at the computer screen in front of him.
Aston immediately came back to his senses with a hint of a smile at the corner of his eyes, so he knew he was still here, “That, I’ll stay with you a little longer.”
She just wants to be quiet with Brayden, even if he might resent her.
