Brandon only knew how to send flowers, gifts, or food every day. He never thought to create surprises like Damon did.


    Vrie could always predict what Brandon would send, and it never surprised or touched her.


    It was boring.


    "I''ll leave it to you tomorrow, then," Damon reminded her.


    "I''m happy to help," Vrie replied. "But I have a suggestion for you."


    Damon raised an eyebrow. "What suggestion?"


    "Teach Brandon how to create surprises." Vrie huffed. "That way, he won''t just stand outside my office building every day."


    Damon chuckled. "Thanks for thepliment. I''ll do my best."


    After hanging up, Vrie tidied her desk, grabbed her bag, and left the office.


    As soon as she stepped outside, she spotted Brandon waiting nearby.


    She rolled her eyes and pretended not to see him.


    Brandon quickly caught up. "Vrie, I''ve been waiting outside your office for half a month now. Can''t you just give me a chance? Let''s have a meal together."


    Vrie nced at him. "Brandon, if you don''t know how to chase a woman, go ask your uncle. I have something urgent to do, so I don''t have time for this."


    Without another word, she got into her car and drove off.


    Brandon stood frozen, watching Vrie''s car disappear. He pulled out his phone and dialed Damon.


    "Uncle Damon, what have you been up totely? Why did Vrie tell me to ask you how to pursue a woman?" he asked.


    Half an hourter, Vrie arrived at Damon''s vi and rang the doorbell.


    When N opened the door and saw Vrie, she looked surprised. "I thought you were super busytely. How do you have time to visit?"


    "If I''m here, I obviously have a reason. I need you toe with me to an event," Vrie said.


    N chuckled. "What kind of event needs me toe along?"


    "A business banquet. But my dad set up a few lind dates for me there I don''t trust my own judgment, sol need you to help me see if any them are worth considering Vrte fabricated the excuse smoothly.


    N frowned. "But it''s a business event. There''s a chance Damon will be there... He hasn''t been letting me go outtely. If he sees me at the banquet, he''ll definitely be mad."


    Lately, Damon had been treating her


    like a rare treasure. If he wasn''t


    home, he wouldn''t let her leave the


    house except to walk around the vi garden. He was terrified she might trip, bump into someone, or anything else might happen to her.


    At first, N hadn''t been concerned, but his behavior had made her start to feel uneasy about going out.


    "He won''t be there. I heard he is leaving on a business trip tomorrow. If you''re worried about safety, I caft hire eight bodyguards to make sure no one gets near you," Vrie assured her.


    N couldn''t help butugh. "I''m not a national treasure. I don''t need that kind of protection. It''s true I haven''t gone out in a while.


    "I''ll ask Damon tonight. If he''s really leaving on a business trip, I''ll sneak out and go with you."


    "Great! It''s a deal! You can''t back out—my happiness depends on you!" Vrie insisted.


    Seeing how serious Vrie was, as if missing this banquet would ruin her future happiness, Nughed. "Okay, okay. I got it."
