Banquet [5]

Time passed like a blur.

Belle had left Amelia and Brandon to go to the bathroom.

Brandon would then emptily listen to Amelia's stories about the times she spent with the younger Belle.

She would even laugh at her own jokes from time to time.

For some reason, Amelia was trying to ease him.

There was a certain tension that Brandon felt around Amelia.

After all, he had witnessed her death, albeit—through a vision.

He couldn't help but stand in a daze, seeing the same person alive and breathing.

Then as he was lost in his thoughts, for some reason, Belle's Vice President was scruffing his collar.

But still, Brandon was stupefied at the sight.

Just what the hell did he do for Adrien to react that way?

It was peculiar.

But he couldn't do anything to retort, not now.

He couldn't allow another Felix incident to happen.

If it did, who knows what Lucian would do.
