LOGINHer fists clenched tightly as if she wanted to beat her jealous husband to death. Yet, her husband hadn't even looked in the mirror and, even worse, had helped another woman during their honeymoon. This was one of Belinda's biggest dislikes. Her husband was still acting selfishly, even though they were officially husband and wife.
“Are you doing homework?” Belinda laughed lightly.
“Instead of doing your homework with your friend. He can’t be trusted!” Brandon grumbled.
"I actually just met him to do homework. It wasn't anything more than that."
Brandon actually wanted to continue the argument, but he couldn't be selfish any longer. Especially with his wife's increasingly sullen expression, he couldn't help but give in to her wishes.
After overcoming considerable obstacles, Belinda was finally able to return home with Brandon in peace, although they hadn't spoken since saying goodbye to Daniel at the carnival. Even at home, they rarely spoke, as if what had happened a few days earlier were repeating itself. Belinda was deeply disappointed in her husband, who still harbored resentment for leaving her alone at the mall all day.Before bed, they only spoke a few sentences. Then, they stopped talking as Belinda performed her routine nightly facial. Meanwhile, Brandon remained focused on his wife from a distance, his gaze weary.Finally, Belinda couldn't stand the awkward situation anymore. She closed the bottle of night cream and turned away with an annoyed look."What's wrong with you?" they both asked simultaneously.
Belinda and Daniel exchanged glares at the announcement over the loudspeaker. Belinda's mental state, in particular, became increasingly unstable, her lips turning pale despite her red lipstick.Daniel felt pity, seeing his friend's mental state unstable for the first time, and he became afraid too. His right hand slowly stroked his friend's head.“Don’t cry, Bel. Don’t worry, the Ferris wheel will stabilize soon.”Belinda shook her head weakly, her body trembling. "I really need Mr. Brandon, Niel. He's the only one who can calm me down."Daniel sighed weakly. "Could it be that Mr. Brandon was the one who could calm you down from all the problems you were facing, that's why you fell in love with him?"
Meanwhile, Belinda was still dating her best friend. This time, they weren't dating inside a shopping mall, but at a carnival held outside. Coincidentally, there was a large, empty lot next to the mall, so the carnival was temporarily held there.Belinda and Daniel went on a few rides, though not the scary ones, as Belinda isn't into extreme rides and her outfit didn't suit her. They only went on kid-friendly rides like the merry-go-round, the bumper cars, and a few others.Despite spending almost the entire day with her best friend, she still didn't feel anything special. However, spending just a short time with Brandon made her feel incredibly comfortable.Now they wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, but there was a long line, as it was a favorite among carnival goers. However, Daniel waited patiently, hoping to chat
This was the situation Belinda had been worrying about. She had been the one who suggested keeping their marriage a secret, and now it had ended up like this. She had to either put on a show again or confess openly, rather than hurt her friend even more. Furthermore, her friend's unusual behavior lately honestly made her feel uncomfortable. On the one hand, her heart had already fallen for Brandon.Observing her husband's loving gaze towards her, Belinda let out a weak breath as she let go of her husband's hand. What could possibly make them have to act out for the good of both of them?Brandon's eyes widened, his heart feeling as if it had been stabbed with a poisonous thorn. He couldn't believe his wife would still choose to date another man over him. Was this a sign that she was bored with him?"Mr. Brandon, I'm
Hearing his wife's response, stating she wanted to intern at his company, made Brandon even more enthusiastic about launching an internship program, despite initially being determined not to. He held a meeting with several managers to discuss the sudden introduction of the internship program. Isabella herself was also confused as to what was going on with her boss."Are you sure you want to start an internship in October? Isn't that a bit sudden, sir?" asked a finance manager."What's more, you want to run a part-time internship program?" a marketing manager also asked.Brandon flashed a faint smile as he rested his palms on the table. "As you know, I also teach management strategy at the university. That's why I don't want my students to just learn from books. I want them to learn through hands-on practice."
Meanwhile, Isabella was spending time alone at her regular bar. However, this time she was in a bad mood. In fact, at the restaurant earlier that afternoon, she had been furious to see Brandon not paying attention to her. Instead, he had been staring openly at Belinda throughout lunch.Her right hand was clenched tightly as she poured another glass of wine. Just as she was about to put the glass to her lips, someone touched her right hand.“Are you drinking again?!” William grumbled, making Isabella spontaneously look at him."Don't bother me!" Isabella immediately let go of William's hand.William rolled his eyes as he moved the wine bottle and glass away from Isabella. "Are you going to get drunk again? What if you mess up with someone else this time?!"
