Kiss Me Not

Cooper Entertainment Building, Country D

"Mitch? Where is Brione? How come you and Berry are in here but she's not?" Loli, the acting CEO of Cooper Entertainment, complained.

"The new owner of Cooper Entertainment will arrive tomorrow. He is also the new CEO so our brightest star has to be the one to welcome him!" Loli ordered with a crumpled face.

"I will inform her that ma'am. She's not answering her phone right now but I have already left her a message," Mitch replied politely.

"Geez, who told him to announce his arrival so suddenly?" Berry whispered under her breath when Loli turned her back on them. Mitch, who heard her, elbowed her and signaled her to stop rolling her eyes.

The Yang's were the one handling this Entertainment Group but handling the Yang Globals Hospitals which had branches worldwide was probably already a lot. So Xander Yang made a decision and sold it to Derek Cyrus, a business tycoon… Another bachelor that Berry would add to her list of hot bachelors.

"We can give him a grand welcome even if Brione is unable to make it," Berry boldly stated.

Loli turned around and sighed before saying, "You two are probably not aware about that man I guess? Not everything you read about him online is true. He's the strictest and scariest person ever... Just make sure that Brione attends his dinner party tomorrow evening."

"Noted ma'am," Mitch and Berry answered in chorus.

After they were done, Berry immediately grabbed her mobile phone and searched for more information about Derek Cyrus. 

"Why does COO Loli sound like a scaredy cat? That Derek seems harmless in these photos," Berry whispered. She had searched the man before and was not able to find a single negative post about him.

"Berry, just try calling Brione again…" Mitch instructed. They were the only ones aware that Brione was currently with the Prince of Country B. Mitch sighed deeply because this was what she was most afraid of. Brione's works getting affected because of her entanglement with the Prince.

"Manager Mitch, how old are you again? You're older than me right?" Berry asked out of nowhere.

"Yeah, I'm thirty-three. Remind me of my age again and I will kill you," Mitch commented with a scoff.

Berry chuckled and said, "So do you prefer older or younger men? You know it's really about time you go out and date. Get a life aside from work. Stop being an old maid. I will even let you choose one of the guys from my precious list so tell me, do you want a younger or older man?"

"Stop your nonsense and call Brione!" Mitch said sternly.

Berry simply ignored her threat and continued, "So do you prefer a young man like Rue or an older man like Derek. Oh wait, I think the head of the Prince's Security Team might fit as well. Ah, what's his name again? Keanu or Kian?"

"Kevin you dummy!!!" Mitch scolded, feeling a bit irritated.

Berry poked Mitch's sides and teased, "Hmm, so his name is Kevin huh? I saw him staring at you when we were at Perdu Island…"

"Berry, if you don't stop right now I swear, I will have you removed from…"

"Okay fine… I'll zip my mouth and let you go back to the boring office to spend the rest of the day." Berry jested.

Mitch heaved a long sigh as she sat on her chair. She too started wondering if she would end up becoming an old maid!

At Yu Building, Country D

"I still can't believe how things turned out but nevertheless I am so glad and happy for our Brione!" Luo commented while drinking some strawberry milkshake on the couch.

"Yeah me neither. Gavin said he will discuss the details with me when they return but I honestly cannot wait any longer. I mean it's making me curious to know what really happened," Noah commented. He stood up from his chair to join his wife on the couch.

He watched his wife drink the milkshake till the last drop before exclaiming, "Ah, I want more of this Baby. Can you please buy me another one?"

Noah frowned a bit before saying, "Baby, I noticed you've been into that milkshake for more than a week now. Is that a sign?"

"Huh?"

"I mean pregnancy symptoms?" Noah whispered, holding his breath in anticipation.

Luo also got lost in thought while trying to recall the last time she had her period. "Baby, I lost track of time... Do you remember when I rejected making love with you because I had my period?"

"Yeah on the 4th of last month…" Noah answered. He clearly remembers it because those were the days he hated the most as he cannot touch his wife.

Luo calculated the dates in her head and whispered, "Oh my God, I'm late by one week."

Noah's face brightened up and he pulled Luo in for a tight hug.

"Oh my God, I'm going to become a dad again. Calvin will now have a playmate. Father and Mother will be so happy if they hear the news, not to mention Brione!" Noah said out loud before he lifted Luo up and turned her around to show his delight.

"Baby, put me down, I feel dizzy! We have to make sure if I'm really pregnant before announcing it to everyone else okay? What if it's just a false alarm and I'm not actually pregnant? So don't get too excited!" Luo scolded and patted his arm lightly. Noah gently put her down.

"Well then let's go to the doctor right now and find out." Noah mumbled and took her hand to walk out but Luo stopped him and said, "You have an important meeting in 30 minutes. I will ask your secretary to buy me some home pregnancy test kits first just to make sure okay? After you are done with your meeting,  we go to the doctor."

Noah quickly called his secretary and instructed her to buy the pregnancy tests.

"Ah stop looking so excited. It's better not to expect anything than to get disappointed later," Luo said to her husband. Noah pulled her closer and nuzzled his nose against hers as he mumbled, "Why are you trying to kill my excitement? Are you implying that I failed to make a baby after all those times we tried?"

"Well, I'm just saying that you could have missed, you know not hitting a homerun?" Luo teased him while she playfully kissed Noah's neck.

"How about we go another round just to make sure we get it?" Noah beamed and immediately carried his wife into their private room before she had the chance to protest.
