Chereads / Millionaire’s genius wife / Chapter 7 - Blonde guy

Chapter 7 - Blonde guy

" I dont know who the fuck you are comparing with me but....im still better."

The crowd around them gasped, hearing Brent's words.

" Stop it Brent!" Wish was upset now.

" No...." his eyes were still dark, " There is still something left to do."

Wish scrunched her brows and before she could ask, he forcefully pulled her in front of the hall, grabbing the emcees mic. " Good evening everyone!"

The people looked ahead, curious to what Willian Brent was going to announce.

He put his shoulders around Wish and smiled, " I know i already said this in the previous elite party but to those who werent there, i will say it again today." he eyed Wish then continued, " This is....Wish Lennon. My fiancée."

The crowd gave a huge applaud and cheered the couple. One side of the hall, a guy with blonde sleeked back hair raised his eyes to the couple. William brent was proudly announcing. His supposed fiancée didnt look that happy. " Which family is she from?" he asked the nearby guy.

" I heard the Lennons." the guy replied.

He smirked to himself, " She doesnt look bad."

" Caleb, dont tell me...." his friend leaned with a playful look.

He didnt take his eyes away from the girl, " Well, she looks like my type."

Wish couldnt take it any longer and quickly pulled him away from the crowd towards a quieter corridor.

" Stop saying that to everyone. We still havent officially engaged." She was very upset. Especially what he did to Chris. It was unnecessary and dangerous.

Brent raised his brows, " So what? we are still going to marry right?" his voice was confident.

Wish clenched her jaw, seeing that familiar smirk.

He stepped closer, running his finger through her jawline, " Other wise your father's company might collapse right, sweetheart?" he lightly rubbed her plump lips and turned around to leave.

It was Wish alone in the corridor now. Each passing day, he proved how he was the worst person.

She couldnt stand being in this party any longer. Storming outside the door, she realised her guards werent there for her so she had to return with Brent and wait till he was ready.

Wish slowly walked to the bench by the bushes. There was nobody around here. Sighing loudly, she rested her head on the bench. Everything was so chaotic. She couldnt even breath in peace.

These rich people really made issue out of every small things. Drama ran in their blood. Honestly, do they never feel tired of all these?

Light steps echoed in the dark, making her look towards it. A tall figure with bright blonde hair slowly came and sat beside her.

Wish was surprised but didnt say anything.

" Hi..." he extended his hand to her, " I am Caleb Drew." His voice was low and deep. He gave off rockstar vibes, probably because of the silver rings and locket he was wearing. Was he a musician?

She hesitatingly took his hands, " I am Wish Lennon."

He smiled, observing the girls face from up close. She really was his type. " So, you are Brents fiancée right?"

She seemed uncomfortable, " we....arent engaged yet..."

Caleb raised his brows. Not engaged? " Oh..." he decided to not talk about it, " This is actually my first time seeing you though...since Lennon family is pretty successful, you should have been to many other parties."

" Can people here stop being nosey every chance they get??" she sounded irritated.

This made Caleb a little shocked. People here? she talked as if she wasnt a part of them. He suddenly chuckled, " Sorry.....i wont be nosey again. By the way," caleb spoke, " You are coming to next weeks party, right?"

" Party? again?" Wish gave a tired sigh.

Caleb gave another confused look, " Even the third class family are invited. "

" Third class?"

He stared at her for a second. Her face showed genuine confusion. " There are ranks here?"

" Of course..." he slowly whispered.

" Which rank are you?"

" My family owns the four seasons hotel. I am elite rank."

" Elite rank?" she asked again.

"Yes.....its higher than first." he spoke slowly, " and....you are....too."

Wish turned to him with wide eyes. Was it really her first time knowing she belongs to an elite family? She was something else. Interesting.

" Oh." was all she could reply. The ranking system was the first time for her. So, father was an elite member? Kinda unexpected. That meant Brent was too?

Caleb was observing her thinking face. She squinted her brows and mumbling with herself. He was clearly enjoying the view. " You are different." he chuckled.

Meanwhile, Wish tilted her head with his sudden words. Different?

Brent finished his talks with the group of guys and looked around. His eyes landed on the far corner bar. That guy Chris was still pressing the napkin on his nose and few of his friends were surrounding him.

They were talking on their own. When both of their eyes met, Chris glared and stood up immediately walking out of the hall, making all of his friends shocked who went with him.

Brent followed the guy walking out with a sour expression. Pulling out his phone, he called someone.

" Find out all the whereabout of Chris, son of that prime minister. His college, job, address. And his friends, especially the one named Lucas."

He put his phone down. Now, all that was left was to wait.

Wish's phone suddenly lit up showing a message. It was from Brent.

Caleb was quick to see it. " So,.....you are going together with Brent?"

She nodded, " I have no choice." standing up, she avoided eye contact. Confused of what she should say but ended up speaking, " Ill...get going then."

Caleb also stood up, hands in his pocket, " Sure....and Oh!"

She stopped waiting for him to continue.

" Please....pass my greetings to William." he smiled kindly.

Wish was a little confused, nodding. " Yeah, ill make sure to pass it to him."

The guy looked so laid-back with his lazy eyes fixed on hers. William and Caleb were so completely different. She finally turned around and left him in the dark.

While he secretly smirked under the shadows, staring at her back. " William wouldnt like it though."

Back in the gate, the mercedes was waiting for her. She saw Brent inside, staring directly at her. Scoffing from inside, she opened the door, a little aggressively and sat down.

" Where were you?"

" Just around." she said without looking at him.

" Alone?"

Wish suddenly remembered about Caleb, " I was with Caleb Drew."

His eyes widened with the mention of his name.

" He said me to pass his greetings to you." she said nonchalantly. Brent,on the other hand, his expression had changed into furious.

" How did you two talk??"

Wish turned after hearing the sudden change of his tone. " Well, i was outside and he came by at the same time."

" It was no coincidence." he clenched his jaw.

" Whats wrong with you now?" she was annoyed. everything she said made him angry or upset. It was really getting on her nerves now.

" Dont go near him or talk to him." he simply said fueling her anger.

" Why??"

Brent looked outside the window, still clenching his fist, " Just dont."

Wish couldnt bear his attitude. He would always order her to not do something without any proper reason. She wasnt his puppet or servant.

" Is it because youre jealous?" she asked directly. Nothing could stop her, "Just like before?"

Brent snapped his head, with his unreadable expression. At first, it used to make her slightly scared but not anymore.

They continued staring at each other, both of them not breaking it.
