Alveena and Clifford exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They didn't expect that Brandon would be Bianca's blind date.
Alveena had conflicted thoughts right now. She always wished that Brandon could find another woman who would make him happy. Someone who could make him fall in love again. Someone who would love him back.
Bianca would be a nice candidate for that. However, part of her wanted to pair up Clifford and Bianca together. She could see the chemistry between them. Just like Brandon, his brother needed a woman who could teach him to love again and moved on from the past.
Now Alveena didn't know whose pair she would be rooting for.
'Eh, what am I thinking? Bianca is the one who will make the decision. If she likes either my brother or Brandon, whoever she chooses between them, I'm gonna support her. But I hope she will end up with either one of them. Will she fall for those two?'
Then she glanced at his brother worriedly. She knew that her brother was stubborn. He might not make a move on Bianca. He was already at a disadvantage.
But who knows? The more you hate the more you love. This might be applicable to Bianca and Clifford.
Meanwhile, Clifford was also thinking about something. He remembered Brandon mentioning to him about doing to blind dates to move on and mend his broken heart.
He already gave up and let go of Alveena since Andrew and Alveena were doing fine now, loving each other so much.
'So Bianca is his blind date he was referring to the last time we talked,' Clifford thought to himself, arching his eyebrow.
Among the three, Bianca was the one who answered Brandon.
"Yes, we know each other. I didn't expect that you are close to them as well," Bianca said with her soft voice. She gave Brandon a faint smile and he acknowledged it by smiling back at her.
Clifford scoffed seeing Bianca acted so feminine in front of Brandon.
'Looks can be deceiving Brandon. She appears to be a sweet and gentle lady right now, but once she shows her true color, she will turn into someone who can beat you up easily. A frightening woman.' Clifford thought to himself, still feeling bitter.
"Yes, our families are close friends. How about you? How did you know each other?" Brandon asked them again.
"Bianca and I became closer because she is Lillie Davis's bodyguard. As for my brother…"
Both women giggled first before Alveena continued her words. "They knew each other because Bianca beat him before. My poor brother was not able to fight back!"
Clifford knitted his brows when he heard that. Alveena and Bianca were reminding him of that embarrassing moment.
Then A soft chuckle was heard as Brandon laughed after hearing that.
"Really? Cliff!!! You were beaten up by Bianca? You were defeated by a woman? Haha, so she can fight. So cool!" Brandon said gleefully, praising Bianca.
Clifford narrowed his eyes on them. "I just went easy on her and I held myself back because she's a woman!"
Clifford tried his best to justify himself. He didn't want to look weak in front of Brandon. He was so embarrassed to admit that he was indeed beaten up by Bianca.
"Alright. I will not say anything to protect your ego." Bianca said, smiling teasingly as she patted Clifford's back.
Bianca was laughing inside as she recalled how Clifford called her Master since he acknowledged her skills and strength when he was drunk.
"Oh, by the way, are you going to leave now? I thought your dinner would be held at 6:00 pm." Alveena gave them a questioning gaze.
"Oh, yes, our dinner will be at 6:00 pm. But we decided to meet early so that we can have more time getting to know each other," Brandon responded cheerfully.
"How about you too? Why are you both here? Buying things for tonight's dinner with the Davis Family?"
Alveena was taken aback when Brandon mentioned that. She never expected that Brandon knew about the family dinner with the Davis.
'How did he know that?'
As if Brandon read her mind, he pointed his finger at Clifford. He was the one who told Brandon about the family dinner.
"We still have more time. Bianca and I can accompany you for a while. We will go once you are done shopping." Brandon said, wrapping his arms around Clifford's shoulder.
Clifford elbowed Brandon so that he would release him. Brandon just shook his head helplessly. He wondered why Clifford looked so grumpy today.
Brandon moved to Alveena and whispered. "Why is your brother looking so grumpy today? Is there a problem in the office?"
Alveena shook her head. "Nope! Everything is fine in the office. My brother has always been grumpy ever since that day." Alveena was referring to Olive's betrayal.
The four of them continued shopping. Clifford grabbed the chance to talk to Bianca since Brandon was busy helping Alveena in carrying the items she bought.
"Bianca, let's talk. There's something I wanna ask you." Clifford said in a low voice. He grabbed her elbow, pulling her to the corner.
"Eh, What is it, Mr. Sy?"
"Just call me Cliff," He said, frowning. He got annoyed hearing Bianca calling Brandon casually while she kept on calling him Mr. Sy.
"Alright, Cliff. So what do you want to talk about?"
"You are a trained soldier. You know many tactics and you are very observant in your surroundings."
"Wow, it's so nice that you are acknowledging my skills now. Do I look cool to you now?" Bianca asked teasingly while winking at Clifford.
Clifford just scowled at her. "That's not my point. The thing is… I noticed that some strange men were following Alveena and me since we arrived here at the mall."
"I don't know if I am just overthinking or not. But I feel like we are being watched." Clifford had become serious now.
Bianca paused for a moment. It looked like a serious matter so she stopped teasing or arguing with Clifford.
