Gianna took off her coat and laid it on the chair. “He‘s at school.”
Brian replied, “Oh. Was he alright that day?”
Gianna took a deep breath. “Not too bad. I thought he was fine until I found out about his bruised knee after getting home. Some parts were even bleeding. I have no idea what caused the injuries.”
Looking slightly heavy– hearted, Brian asked, “Is that woman your younger sister from a different mother?”
“Yes,” Gianna responded rather reluctantly. No longer wanting to talk about that, Gianna intentionally ch anged the topic. “How‘s your health?”
Brian sounded rather perfunctory as well when he said, “It‘s alright.”
After that, Gianna turned around, took out a metal box from her handbag, and gave it to Brian. “This is f or you.”
This somewhat baffled Brian. “What‘s this?”
“These are candies. You should bring some of them with you next time and take one every time you feel unwell. It has different kinds of flavors and this is one of my favorite brands. It reminds me of my childhood.”
Brian was pleasantly surprised and then naturally let out a smile. “Thanks.”
Gianna responded, “Don‘t be a stranger. This is nothing compared to this expensive meal that you‘re b uying me.”
Brian smiled, looking like a graceful gentleman. “I guess my life is still worth something, isn‘t it? How can one meal be sufficient to pay you back for saving my life?”
“It doesn‘t work that way. It doesn‘t matter how expensive a meal is or how many times you buy me one ; it‘s about how you were willing to help me out when I needed it the most. I‘ll forever remember your he lp. I guess that makes us even.”
Brian chuckled and commented, “It sounds like you‘re breaking up with me.”
Gianna guffawed. “That‘s not what I meant. What I‘m saying is we don‘t have to be so formal with each other.” Looking at her, Brian appeared to look somewhat shy. “If you don‘t let me use this excuse again, how am I going to ask you out for a meal next time?”
This caught Gianna off guard. She smiled and then said, “Why do we need an excuse to have a meal t ogether? We can do this anytime.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Brian was a little shocked to hear that. “Really? So we‘re friends?”
Gianna nodded and agreed, “Of course. I saw your restaurant‘s sign on the internet the other day. Personally, I feel that it looks hear t–warming and generous.” Smiling, Brian replied, “I don‘t want to have customers like them.”
Gianna asked, “Will being so picky bring you any problems?”
Brian looked startled. “Problems? It‘s my restaurant, so it‘s my call.”
At this juncture, the server showed up. “I‘m sorry to interrupt, but your food is ready.” Gianna quickly put the
“Yes. All the time back in the days.”
“You like candies?”
Chapter 43 Are We Friends Now? Gianna agreed, “Not too bad. I‘d have one of them whenever I was in a bad mood. Something sweet can really brighten your day. Try it. It‘s pretty effective. I like the green ones the most–they‘re apple–flavored.” Brian opened the candy box and picked up a green candy. “You‘re making me want to try it.” Gianna laughed heartily. “Look at you. Let‘s eat first.‘ Bria a couple not far away from them.
