Billionaire’s Great Obsession

Sophia said with a smile, “Brianna, you seem very shy. Just make yourself at home. Here, would you like some Thai green curry?” She passed the plate of salad to Brianna.

“I’m ok. Thanks.” Brianna said plainly.

“Aha. This is Scott’s favorite dish, so you two don’t have the same taste, I suppose. That’s not fun living together then.” Sophia commented with sarcasm.

“Why? The difference makes it even more fun. It creates diversity.” Again, plainly Brianna replied.

A few times, Sophia tried to bring up a topic, but Brianna responded without any enthusiasm as she had to avoid falling into any of Sophia’s tricks. However, her lack of response and enthusiasm displeased Sue even more.

Benjamin didn’t say anything either, nor did he try any of the food except a small bite of salad.

Sue nudged Sophia gently, and Sophia scooped a small bowl of curry for Scott. “This is for you, Scott.” She said with a bright smile. Scott nodded, but he didn’t touch the food at all.

Brianna noticed and thought it’s obvious that Scott doesn’t think much of Sophia either. Ha. She couldn’t help wondering why Sophia was so obsessed with Scott. He is indeed very hot and good-looking, but he’s so cold and even means. What’s about him that she would give up her pride and even cook for him?

Just as she was wondering, Scott suddenly said to her, “Go and cook something for grandpa. Sophia Moore’s cooking doesn’t please grandpa’s stomach.”

Both Brianna and Sophia stared at Scott in surprise.

“It’s not that. I just feel like something light today.” Benjamin said casually, intending to help Sophia out.

Brianna hesitated.

Sue frowned. “Why? Don’t you know how to cook? Have you not ever cooked for Scott?” She questioned Brianna, sounding annoyed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I can cook a bit,” Brianna said calmly, stood up, and went to the kitchen. About twenty minutes later, she came back with kale, black bean, and avocado burrito bowl. It smelled delicious and was beautifully presented.

Everyone was impressed and curious to see how Benjamin would react. His face lit up at the sight of the food. Brianna placed it down in front of him, and he nodded. When Brianna sat back down, he even took a look at Brianna before he picked up his fork. To everyone’s surprise, he seemed to enjoy it very much and ate with contentment.

Sue and Sophia were expecting Brianna to make a joke of herself, but now that Ben had finished the whole plate of food Brianna prepared, they didn’t look pleased with it at all.

Jameson couldn’t help wondering that he had underestimated Brianna. She might be capable of becoming Scott’s new girl after all. And I can perhaps use her to defeat Scott. The best way is probably to make him fall in love with her and then lose her. He wasn’t completely defeated when Sol Keaton left, but this time, I can use Brianna.

“Whenever you feel like trying Brianna’s cooking again, just let us know,” Scott said to Ben casually.

Ben put the fork down, wiped his mouth with the napkin, and nodded at Scott. Though he made no comment, everyone could tell that Brianna had left a good impression after all.

Sue was planning to have Sophia over so she could spend some time with Scott. She knew how distant her grandson was, especially with women. Sophia couldn’t get close to him usually, but when they were at the Andersons’, Scott had to show his grandparents some respect.

They chatted a bit after dinner, and Scott excused himself to go out for a smoke.

“Scott, why don’t you drive Sophia home later?” Sue suggested.

Sophia smiled at the suggestion gratefully. “I really enjoyed seeing you, Sue, Ben. I shall visit again soon.”

“Please do.” Sue hugged Sophia and said goodbye.

Brianna thought she’d better leave then. She stood up and said politely, “Thanks for having me. Good night.” She received no reply.

***

Scott’s bodyguards and the driver had left when they got out. Sophia’s driver was sent away as well, and she said there was something wrong with the engine and she couldn’t start her car. Obviously, it was either Benjamin or Sue’s idea, and they had planned to have Scott drive Sophia home.

Brianna understood straight away. She said with a smile, “Scott, why don’t you drive Sophia home then. She’s our guest, after all. I can call our driver.” Brianna didn’t really care as she knew there was no love between Scott and her, and she felt no jealousy. She didn’t want to cause any conflicts, but if others didn’t know to be grateful and started to annoy her, then she would stand up for herself.

With a victorious smile, Sophia lifted her brows and said, “See you then.”

Brianna didn’t like her attitude at all. She changed her mind and quickly jumped into the front seat.

Stunned, Sophia froze and stared at Brianna open-mouthed. Scott got into the driver’s seat as well, and indifferently, he asked, “Do I still need to give you a lift, Miss Moore?”

Helplessly, Sophia heaved a sigh and got into the backseat of the car. “Scott, are you driving me home first, or will you drop off Brianna first?”

Scott sneered and said, “You really see me as your driver, don’t you?”

Embarrassed, Sophia frowned and explained quickly, “Of course not. But my car won’t start, so would you please drive me home?”

“Ha-ha.” Scott laughed, “Brianna is my wife. It makes sense that I go home with her. But why should I drive you home?”

Sophia’s heart sank. She hesitated but thought, well, he didn’t ask me to get out of the car. She stayed in the car. Seeing Brianna sitting next to Scott at the front, Sophia felt immense resentment. Why?! How did this bitch suddenly show up and become Scott’s wife? It’s supposed to be me! And Scott is protecting her!

She isn’t as beautiful as me. She isn’t from a rich family. She’s not as smart as me either! Why?! She’s nothing better than me! I have even learned cooking for Scott. Surely, I’m the one most qualified to be Mrs. Anderson, to be Scott’s partner.
