The Billionaire’s Sudden Bride
Chapter 210
That’s when I noticed his lock screen–a photo of me sleeping, my face relaxed, hair tousled across the pillow. My heart skipped a beat.
“Go ahead, Brandon urged, watching my reaction.
Face warming, I swiped to answer. “Hello?”
There was a moment of startled silence on the other end. “Ub… who is this? Isn’t this Mr. Stark’s phone?” Monica’s voice was a
mixture of confusion and alarm.
“Yes, this is Mr. Stark’s phone,. confirmed, trying to sound professional despite my flustered state. “Hi Monica, this is Summer Taylor from Projects. Brandon’s busy at the moment. Is there something I can help with?”
“Oh, Monica sounded momentarily thrown off balance. “Mr. Henderson’s assistant just contacted me. They’ve arrived at the airport but haven’t seen anyone sent to meet them. Are you and Mr. Stark at the airport now, Ms. Taylor?”
“Yes, we’re at the airport,” I confirmed. “We’re waiting for Mr. Henderson.”
“One of Mr. Henderson’s bags has been lost, Monica continued. “It contains important documents…”
“I understand,” I cut in. “I’ll let Brandon know right away. We’ll go find Mr. Henderson immediately.”
I ended the call and turned to Brandon. “Jean–Pierre is waiting. Apparently, the airline lost one of his bags with important
documents inside.”
Brandon nodded, but his gaze had fixed on my phone, which I’d absentmindedly placed on the console between us. His eyes narrowed at my lock screen–a photo of an actor I’d admired for years.
“What did Monica say?” he asked, his voice deceptively casual as he picked up my phone.
Before I could react, he held it up, aimed it at us, and snapped a quick photo of us together.
“Brandon!” I protested. “What are you doing with my phone? If you want to take a picture, at least warn me! I wasn’t ready! Give it
back.”
He handed it back with a satisfied look. I glanced down to see my lock screen had been replaced with the photo he’d just taken- both of us together, him looking perfectly composed while I appeared caught off–guard.
“Why did you change my wallpaper?” I demanded.
“Why wouldn’t I?” he replied coolly. “Your phone lock screen can only be me, not other men.”
I rolled my eyes. “It’s just an actor I admire. Someone who literally doesn’t exist in my real life. Are you seriously jealous of that?”
“No,” Brandon stated firmly. “I don’t allow it. From now on, your phone can only have my photo.”
“You’re impossible, I sighed, examining the new wallpaper more carefully. “And putting your picture here basically announces our relationship to anyone who sees my phone. What happened to keeping things private?”
I squinted at the photo again. “Look at this! You didn’t even tell me you were taking it. I wasn’t prepared at all, but you posed perfectly. That’s so unfair!”
Brandon simply plucked the phone from my hands. “To prevent you from changing it back right away, I’ll hold onto this for now.”

He stood, taking my hand firmly in his. “Let’s go. Mr. Henderson must be getting anxious.”
As we walked through the terminal, I couldn’t help muttering, “This is your fault. How did I get so delayed? I paused, another thought occurring to me. “By the way, when did you take that picture of me sleeping? That photo is awful! I want to replace it with something nicer later.”
Brandon leaned close, his breath warm against my ear as he murmured, “I think it’s beautiful. You’re most captivating when you’re half asleep.”
My heart hammered in my chest, heat rising to my face as I pushed Him away. “Stop that. From now on, you need to keep your
distance!”
