Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1428

Jada leaned in closer, dropping her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "That is right! The boy only has two outfits in his entire wardrobe. One is his crisp, proper military uniform, and the other is his everyday casual wear. This morning, he swapped between those two outfits a full five times! He even ran up to me with his face glowing red as a tomato, asking which one would look better for meeting a girl."

Emmy could not help but smile at the image. "And what did you tell him?"

"Well, I obviously told him the uniform looked best! With his solid build, he looks incredibly sharp in it. Such a handsome young man! But then he started worrying that wearing a full military uniform to a movie theater would terrify the poor girl."

Emmy burst out laughing.

Jada continued, chuckling merrily. "So he rushed back to his room and changed into his casual clothes again. Then he came back and asked if wearing casual clothes would make him look too informal and disrespectful! He went back and forth, agonizing over it five times! In the end, he was probably running late, so he just threw on his casual clothes and sprinted out the door."

Emmy's eyes curved into amused crescents, a spark of genuine interest dancing in her gaze. "It seems that blockhead is finally starting to figure things out. Though I am honestly quite curious how a man as painfully earnest as him is going to act around a girl."

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop located inside a bustling downtown mall. Even though there was still over an hour until their agreed upon time, Brett was already sitting rigidly in a booth by the window. He possessed a tall, commanding physique. Even dressed in the simplest black casual clothes, he exuded an overwhelming, formidable aura that could not be concealed. Yet at this very moment, he was sitting on the sofa like a cat on hot bricks, nervously rubbing his large, calloused hands against his knees. Every two minutes, he would raise his wrist to check the time. As the second hand ticked by, Brett felt time was dragging on slower than a ten kilometer armed cross country march. He even started to suspect his watch was broken.

Just as he glanced at his watch for the twenty eighth time, the glass door of the coffee shop swung open. Tiffany had arrived half an hour early. The moment she walked in, she spotted the man sitting in the corner with his back completely straight. Her eyes lit up, and she ran over with a face full of joyous surprise.

"Brett! I did not expect you to be here so early!"
