Chapter 28 The Third Brother Was Shy!
It seemed it was not bad to be his fiancée.
Wait... What was she thinking? How could she compromise just for a cup of coffee?
She cleared her throat awkwardly, and tried to behave herself, 'Thank you Mr. Hall. Then I will visit frequently."
She liked coffee very much. She shouldn't waste the chances.
'Ok." He gazed at her acting seriousness, and couldn't help smiling.
It seemed that she liked his coffee beans, didn't she?
'I am heading off. See you soon." Monica waved her hand and left. She curled up her smile while turning back. She would be a frequenter in this coffee shop.
After she left, his assistant came in.
Laurence gave the instruction immediately, 'Kevin, go to check her background. Don't let the Moores know."
He must find out what relationship this girl had with the Principal, and how she got to know his plant.
Kevin nodded with his head down. And then he turned to leave to get all possible help for the assignment.
He looked through the window to see Monica's tall figure, with his lips curled up.
This girl made him more and more intrigued.
Upon getting into the car, she turned to look at Laurence sitting near the window, and finally relieved.
Fortunately, she was clever enough to use the Principal as the excuses.
When looking back, the Principal did help her a lot. She should pay him a visit.
When she was back home, twin brothers were there already. There was a tall and elegant man in school clothes sitting opposite to them.
His school clothes looked similar to those in senior section, but the collar color was darker. Obviously, he was from the college section.
'Michael, Monica is back." Winston saw Monica first and then introduce to Michael immediately.
Michael turned to her and got a bit stunned at her beauty.
He thought Monica must have been rustic since she came from the countryside, but surprisingly, he couldn't find any trace of that, but she was so pretty, which was beyond description. She resembled them a lot especially around the eyes, but more delicate.
'Michael, nice to meet you." Monica started first as Michael was at a loss, with a gentle smile on her face.
Michael was shy abruptly and nodded dumbly, 'Monica, how are you?"
Winston explained to Monica hastily, 'Michael is good at study, but doesn't know how to talk with beautiful girls. See, his face blushed again."
'Shut up!" Michael rolled his eyes at Winston, but his fair face was even redder than before.
Monica didn't know the keen they talked about before was so shy.
'Cut it out. Time for dinner." Nancy took the soup out of the kitchen to see them in chaos. But she was happy to see Monica was back. 'Monica, you are back. Mom prepared the fish you like most. Come and have a taste."
Monica had got more and more familiar with Nancy recent days, and smiled warmly while sitting next to her, 'Thank you, Mom."
She never said what she liked, but Nancy paid attention to what she liked better. When she noticed she liked to eat fish, she cooked almost every day recently for her.
Sean sat down quickly to see a lot of delicious food, and laughed happily, 'Luckily, we came today for good food."
'All you know is to eat." Winston mocked at Sean and then sat down.
Jeffery didn't come back yet as something popped up. Nancy sat at the main seat. In this way, Monica and Michael had to sit on the same side.
when she sat down, she felt Michael was totally tense. She found it funny. How could he be the chairman of the student committee if he was so shy?
'Michael, help yourself with some vegetable." In order to break the ice, Monica offered the vegetable plate to him.
All kept quiet to look at Michael.
'Monica..." Sean wanted to say something.
Michael was shy by nature, and he was afraid that girls took initiative. Once Anne handed him over the soup, so that he didn't touch it from the beginning to the end. Afterwards, Anne started to keep distance with him.
But this time, Monica even offered him the vegetable by putting the vegetable onto his plate!
Sean and Winston felt bad to themselves as they were afraid Michael would be upset.
The air was frozen for a second, but Monica had no idea of what was going on. Why did the twin brothers look at her with anxiety?
When she was wondering, Michael at her side took the vegetable with his fork and ate it.
'Er...? Sean was at a daze, same with Winston.
Even Nancy stared at them with eyes widely open, 'Michael, is everything okay?"
Michael shook his head, 'everything is fine."
He felt also strange as normally he was afraid any female to get too close to him, even Anne could make him uncomfortable.
But Monica was so close to him, he didn't dislike at all.
Nancy was astonished at what she saw. Was this the mysterious part of kinship?
When they were wondering, someone spoke at the door suddenly.
'Mom, brothers, I'm back." Anne's voice sounded sullen and gloomy.
She was there for a while but nobody noticed her, but watching Monica giving vegetables to Michael.
The jealousy made her extremely uncomfortable, like the sword stabbing at her.
Michael had always been opposite to be close to her, no matter how hard she tried these years, he rejected always.
But it was totally a different issue when Monica was here.
