A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 184

Linda was shocked that she could think that way. Could it be that i've been spending too much time with Charles?

She thought, immediately shaking her head, forcefully trying to banish the dark thoughts.

Linda replied, "Usher him in."

"Yes, My Lady." The servant nodded and turned to head to the door and invite in the visitor.

Not long after, Brian strode in with an imposing gait, still wearing his dashing military uniform. Linda couldn't help but take a few extra looks at him. He was indeed a handsome fellow, but he was also a philanderer!

"Miss Xia, where is Bun?" Brian started looking around as soon as he came in, obviously in search of Bun, but he was disappointed that she was nowhere to be found.

"Never mind where Bun is. You have to tell me first, where were you tonight?" Linda asked, curious. She had to find out everything, since it mattered to Bun's happiness. If Brian was a promiscuous man, Linda didn't want Bun to spend her life with him.

Brian's expression changed to one of surprise.

Did Linda know? How did she find out? Brian thought. It was pointless trying to lie to Linda, since judging from the look on her face, she seemed to know what exactly he was up to.

"I'm sure you know what I was doing. Are you going to make me say it?" Brian responded.

"Yes. I know, you can't lie to me. Brian, my trust in you was all in vain. I repeatedly convinced Bun, time and time again, that she shouldn't give up on you, yet you went out and got a room with Sarah. What's wrong with you?" Linda lashed out towards Brian.

Linda stood up and raised her palm, and in anger, slapped Brian on the back of his head.

"Ouch, Miss Xia, don't raise your hand at me. Damn, I know I was wrong, but it's not what you think. Yes, I did get a room with Sarah, but I was just sitting there with her. We didn't do anything." Brian answered in shock, rubbing at his head, attempting to reduce the pain.

Linda rolled her eyes. "You got a room and did nothing. Are you kidding me? What kind of excuse is that?"

Brian wasn't lying. And at the moment, he was more focused on finding Bun rather than explain himself to Linda. He wanted to make sure that Bun understood that nothing happened.

"Miss Xia, does Bun know about this?"

"Yes." Linda nodded.

"Shit, I need to explain this to her. She has to know the truth. Where is she? She needs to know that I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. It's really not what you think. Miss Xia, please tell me where Bun is so I can find her." Brian pleaded, pacing back and forth anxiously. Linda looked at Brian and realised that he was telling the truth.

"You're telling the truth? This is all just a misunderstanding? There was nothing between you and Sarah?"

"Yes, goddamn it. You didn't know how hard it was for me to slip out today. I really just want to see Bun. That's why I took Sarah out." Brian tried to control his anger, but his grip on it was beginning to falter. Doesn't this woman realize the urgency in speaking to Bun now? He thought.

"Why would you take Sarah out if you wanted to see Bun?" Linda asked, quizzically.

Brian sighed and sat on the chair at the side, crossing his legs, "Don't get me started. My father asked me to take Sarah out for shopping. I didn't want to do that. So I took her out to the hotel and put some sleeping drugs in her water, so that I could come and visit Bun. I just needed to see her and hold her. It's a shame I have to be back later on."

"Nice plan. You thought of all of that by yourself?" Linda teased, but the expression on Brian's face, prompted her to continue speaking.

All right, I won't hold you then. Bun is in her room. Turn left, through the gallery, Bun's room is at the rightmost side. I should tell you that Bun was upset when she found out. You have to properly explain yourself, but don't play any tricks, got it?"

"Got it, Miss Xia."

Brian stood up and rushed towards the direction that Bun's room was in. Linda didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Brian seemed so passionate and genuine, which made Linda somewhat curious.

Brian ran all the way up to the door to Bun's room. He reached out his hand but then pulled back. He didn't know what to say to Bun, but he did truly miss her. When his eyes closed, all he could think about was the curve of her lips when she smiled, and the sound of her voice when she laughed. She's my everything, I hope she knows that.

Brian thought, telepathically hoping that she heard him through the door. After a while, he mustered up enough courage and knocked on the door.

Bun heard the knocking, thinking it was Linda, she answered, "Young Mistress, just a minute, I'll be right there."

She wiped her tears and walked into the bathroom. She saw that her eyes were a little swollen and sighed helplessly.

Bun then moved to open the door for Linda.

But she didn't expect to see Brian at the other side of the door.

Brian stood there like a rascal, leaning on the door frame and looking down at Bun. His amorous eyes were filled with a tender glint, that disamoured Bun every time she looked into them. For a second, she forgot that he was in a hotel room with Sarah, her sworn enemy.

Seeing that Bun's eyes were red and swollen, Brian felt a tug in his heart. "Bun, let me explain." He tried to reach out to her, but she retreated back into her room, repulsed by the gesture.

"Young Master Ho, what are you doing here?" Bun was respectful, after all, he was still a Young Master. But her thoughts were anything but respectful.

She never thought that Brian would be at her door. If she knew it was him, Bun would never have opened the door.

"Can't I come and visit? I miss you, so I wanted to come and see you, and also I wanted to explain. I know you know." Bun just stared at Brian.

She couldn't believe that he would just casually say that he missed her after he was with another woman in a hotel room. Did he think that she was a fool? Bun knew that she had a temper, therefore she didn't want the issue to escalate. She knew that if it did, her job and her life would be in jeopardy. "Explain what?" She asked calmly. "I know you know about me and Sarah in a hotel room... " Then it hit Bun. The words coming out of Brian's mouth, hurt her even more. She was at her tipping point, so she stretched her arm and to shut Brian out of her room.

"Hey Bun, please... It's not what you think... " As Bun was closing the door, Brian extended his hand to try and stop her. But Bun had already turned to walk back to her bathroom, and didn't see Brian put his hand through the door. She was so angry, therefore slammed the door.

"AHHHH!" Brian screamt, as the door hit his hand. Bun turned to see Brian clutching his wrist, as the door had bounced open when it hit Brian.

"Young Master Brian, are you ok? I'm so sorry." Her anger subsided into panic. She didn't mean to hurt Brian, but she also didn't expect him to use his hand to stop her from closing the door.

"Umm. No. But I'll be fine. It was an accident." He feigned calmness. His hand had turned a bright shade of red, especially along where the door had hit. Bun really did exert herself shutting the door.

Brian was in severe pain. But as long as it was for Bun, it was worth it.

Bun shook her head in dismay, "Young Master, come in please. Let me put some medication on you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

Bun took a step to the side to allow Brian in, but unexpectedly Brian put his arms around Bun and embraced her.
