Chapter 26 - Harry Smith

Tanya started feeling more and more guilty that she couldn't show her face to Brina. Taking a slip, she wrote 'Good night and see you later. I am missing my fiancé because of your PDA' and then went off.

When Brina completed her phone call, she saw the letter and chuckled. Leaving a message to Tanya, she went to her study room.

Not to do her company work but her own personal work.

….

"Brina, we did as you told us. But what's your plan? I don't understand" Harry asked.

He is uncle Tom's son.

"I don't want to play around bushes anymore, Harry. My uncle and his children are becoming vicious day by day." Brina replied, her eyes turning vicious too. 

It would have made others feel the chill down their spine. Her aura is that formidable and suffocating when she gets angry. 

"I have been tolerating them, keeping my innocent façade to make them underestimate me but those menacing, spiteful people are targeting the orphanage which I can't stomach anymore" Brina gritted her teeth.

Harry on the other side, nodded his head in understanding.

"I am on my way back from states. I will be back by tomorrow and I will meet you soon, all right. Be good and take care of yourself first" Harry told as he walked into his private jet followed by his bodyguard and secretary behind him. 

"I will, Harry. Good night" Brina is about to end the call but Harry interjects.

"Chris, proposed to you?" he asked.

"Who told you that?" Brina asked, frowning.

"I have my ways, Brina. You better be careful with him." Harry told.

"You think I don't know that!! I have my ways. I shifted company as well" Brina said, taking a bite of her pasta.

"I know. L&E corps right!! Get a boyfriend already….so that he would stop that stubborn Chris from pestering you more" Harry advised.

"Not again, don't start the lecture!! I am gonna sleep now and you better contact uncle Tom. He is worried" Brina quickly evaded the topic and without waiting, she ended the call.

Then she went through some documents and files before going to sleep. The time she went to bed it's almost four in the morning four.

...

The next morning…

Brina woke up on usual time and she quickly got ready.

She got dressed up in a beige color shirt and black skirt, hugging her tight till her hips.

Her hourglass figure is a sight to see, and complementing her slender legs she wore five inch high heels. Tying her black jet hair into a high ponytail she is about to leave her apartment but stopped at the threshold of her door.

There are three big bouquet's placed on the ground, facing her main door.

"Who could this be?" Biyu wondered.

Taking the bouquets she placed them on the table.

One bouquet is of roses.

While the other one is tulips and the third one is off chocolates….different kind of chocolates'.

As soon as she has a chocolate bouquet, she immediately knows that it is from her favorite brother Harry.

He always sends her chocolate bouquets made in the town where their orphanage is.

But what she is more curious about is tulip and rose bouquets.

Her favorite flowers are tulips and she is slightly allergic to roses.

When she sees the name written on the card, tulips are sent by Louis and roses by Chris.

She couldn't help but smirk.

Chris doesn't even know that she is allergic to roses. He thought that she is like other women who love roses.

If he doesn't even know a little thing about her, how on earth can he tell that he loves her.

Involuntarily, Brina's eyes fell on the tulips and she couldn't help but remember Louis.

How he came to her aid every time she needed his help and how attentive he had been to each and everything. His words are still reverberating in her eyes and her cheeks slightly blushed.

He said that she is special to him and Brina could sense that now.

It's just been a few days they met each other and in this short span of time he really learned a lot about her.

Starting from her favorite food to favorite flowers.

That intense feeling in his eyes gave away how special she is to him.

The question is, Is he special to her as well?

And, Brina right away could answer that.

Yes!! He is special….so special to her. He is in fact the first person who made her feel that warmth after many years of being like an ice block.

"You are special to me as well, Louis. Though I am not sure if it is love or just a mutual infatuation...I don't want to keep you away from me. You make me feel like my previous self and I think you are healing my scars" Brina smiled.

Throwing away Chris roses, she took the tulips and placed them in flower vases.

Eating the chocolate shaped in tulip shape, which is sent by her brother Harry, Brina started her journey to her new company.

...

"Sir, there were totally three bouquets placed in front of Madam's door." a man cladded in black told to Harry.

Harry Smith, who just came back from the states, is swimming in his rooftop swimming pool, warming up his body in the hot water.

As soon as heard his bodyguard, he raised his brows in surprise.

"Sawyer, you are not pranking me again, are you?" he asked him.

"No sir. Not when it comes to Ms. Parker" Sawyer told, as he smiled at his employer. They are close enough to call each other by names but, they prefer to follow professionalism at least in front of others.  

"So, who is that new, third person apart from me and that arrogant Chris" Harry asked, coming out of the swimming pool.

"Louis Cruz, the project manager in L & E corps. He met ma'am a few days back in Ms. Williams engagement party and he seemed to be interested in Ms. Parker now" Sawyer informed.

"How is Brina reacting to his approach? Harry asked.

He is someone who knows Brina very well. So, he is also aware of everything related to her and he knows how careful she would be when she has to get close to strangers.
