‘‘What?! Does she mean that I'm going to be the future hostess of the Oliver family?’’ Brittany gasped in shock.
What she had heard was truly astonishing, so she was worried that it might be a joke.
"Auntie Josie..."
Josie blinked her eyes at Brittany exaggeratedly as though trying to tell Brittany something.
Then, she glanced at Ryan and said, "The kitchen is still busy, so I'll help out there for a bit.I'll be back soon.You talk with Ryan."
It was obvious that she was creating an opportunity for Brittany.
With a beaming smile, Brittany nodded and replied, "Sure, Auntie Josie!"
Before Josie left, she leaned over Ryan and whispered, "Ryan, I've chosen her.Brittany is an amazing woman.You should talk to her."
Upon saying that, she smiled at Brittany and left.
Of course, the servants were sensible that they left as well.
Now, only Ryan and Brittany were left in the spacious living room.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Five minutes...
Nobody dared to speak even until now.
Feeling shy, Brittany played with the hem of her nervously and then slowly moved close to Ryan.
"Ryan"
"Mister!"
"What?"
Brittany was confused.
"You call me Mr.Ryan or Mr.Oliver," he explained curtly.
Brittany's mouth widened in shock, and she fell stunned upon hearing his command.
‘What's going on?’ She was confused.
She thought Josie called her today because Ryan took a liking to her after their blind date last time.
However, he was cold to her, and she had no idea why.
‘‘Perhaps this is only his character?’’ Brittany wondered.
At the thought of this, she felt relieved.
‘‘I've heard that Ryan has never been in love, even though he's already 30 years old.Maybe it's because of his cold demeanor that people don't dare to get close to him.Well, since he's cold and probably unfriendly, I should take the initiative myself.’’ Thinking of this, the smile on her face softened.
She stood up and walked towards Ryan to sit next to him.
However, while she was walking towards him, Ryan suddenly lifted his gaze and looked at her.
His eyes were cold and sharp.
They seemed like a sharp sword that could make people tremble in fear the instant they saw it.
