Chapter 859 What Should I Tell You
That night in Northcliffe wasn’t quite as breathtaking as the one in Barnes had been, but it was still a beautiful view since the city
was surrounded by mountains.
Stepping out of the venue, Jdeeply inhaled the fresh air around her and felt extremely relaxed.
Title of the document
Then a gust of cold wind blew over her, giving Ja chill. It was late at night. She wanted to hail a taxi to get back to her hotel
as soon as possible.
“It’s not safe to go back alone at this late hour.” Jheard a man speaking behind her. At the stime, the man placed a
coat around her.
“Why are you still following me? Didn’t you go back to the hotel with your manager?” Jtook off Derek’s coat and returned it
to him. “Thank you. But I don’t think it’s a good idea forto wear your coat.”
Derek took his coat back and continued to follow her. He said in a natural tone of voice, “My manager is off entertaining some
models at the bar. What’s your schedule like for the next two days?”
All the clothes from the Iridescent Show would be placed on display in the exhibition hall for two days after the runway show for
people to gaze upon up close. Therefore Jcouldn’t go back immediately. She had to help decorate the exhibit and socialize
with the other designers.
But she didn’t want to tell Derek that.
“I enjoy my solitude. I think I’ll just stay in the hotel and relax for the next two days. I’ll go back now, I think. See you.” Jgave

him a faint smile, friendly enough but also giving off an air of deliberate aloofness.
She hailed a taxi and hopped in immediately.
Derek was a little surprised. He hadn’t expect Jto be so cold to him right now. Just a bit earlier, Jhad been
enthusiastically taking his measurements..
Which one was the real her? The more Derek thought about it, the more curious he became.

Not long after Jgot into her taxi and left, a black car stopped in front of Derek.
“What are you doing? Why did you leave the venue with a woman without even telling me?” Derek’s manager sounded a bit
anxious. But Derek wasn’t that easily controlled.
Derek didn’t say a word. He opened the door and got into the car.
“Cut the crap and follow the taxi in front of us.”

The taxi took Jto her hotel. The hotel booking had been arranged by the Iridescent Show’s organizers. The facilities were
lovely and the environment modern and elegant.
Jgot her room key from the reception desk and as soon as she got into her room, she jumped into the bed and rolled under
the covers.
“Today has been incredible!” Holding the blanket to herself, Jgiggled for a while.
After relaxing for a few moments, she got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up. The suite’s bathroom was large and
luxurious, with a striking circular bathtub in the middle. The idea of taking a nice long bath and just relaxing sounded like heaven
to her.
Jplugged in her phone to charge in an outlet by the bathtub. When she turned it on, she discovered that Brandon had called

her more than ten times.
What was wrong?
Pondering this, Jplaced a video call to Brandon.
“Sorry, my phone was dead before.” Rubbing her w*et hair, Jleaned in close to the screen and looked at Brandon’s face.
Brandon opened the video on his end but was working busily overtime, so he simply placed his phone aside. He didn’t pay much
attention to Jthroughout the call. “Don’t you have anything to tell me?” asked Brandon guardedly, as he still focused on the
document he was reading. Jcould only see half of his torso on the screen.
He still couldn’t get the image of Derek carrying Jonto the stage out of his head.

Janet, on the other hand, had no idea what he was talking about.
Her heart and mind were full of the Iridescent Show and the amazing evening she’d had. As for the rest, she could barely
remember it. She had no clue that Brandon was talking about Derek holding her.
“What? What should I tell you?” Jasked, completely baffled.
A strange mix of jealousy and sadness surged up in Brandon’s mind. He no longer wanted to talk to Janet, so he buried himself
in his work instead.
If she didn’t want to tell him the truth, he wouldn’t try to f0rce anything out of her.
Through the video screen, Jnoticed a closed container of takeout food on the table beside Brandon. It seemed that he never
touched his dinner.
Jsaid, “It’s so late. Haven’t you eaten yet? You can’t keep working. You need to take a break and eat something first.”
Without raising his head, Brandon said calmly, “I have eaten.”
Jtook a deep breath. She raised her voice, but still managed to say in a gentle albeit slightly exasperated tone of voice,
“Brandon!”
Brandon had no choice but to look at Jin the screen. Only then did he notice through the screen how s*xy she looked.
Janet’s hair was w*et, falling on her shoulders in pleasing cascades. Her smooth skin and partly visible cleavage were obscured
under mounds of white bubbles. The steam rose around her, and her smooth face looked pink and delicious, which made him
want to reach through the screen and have a nibble.
