It was seven o'clock in the evening. He said that he already prepared their dinner for tonight and his older brother already knew that he would take his girlfriend home to introduce her to him.

She was wearing a white blouse and a pink skirt that was below the knee. She even pinned her hair so she looks like a teenager.

Before they got inside the car, Red stared at her face smiling. He seemed to enjoy watching her intently and that made her even more uneasy.

"Relax. I'm sure my brother will like you, okay?" He even touched her cheek when he said that.

She took a deep breath and smiled at him.

Her boyfriend's house is not that far. When they entered the big gate she was amazed at the size of the house. She knew her boyfriend was rich but she did not think the man's family was this wealthy. He immediately took her by the hand as they entered the house.

They have been in a relationship for three weeks but they never shared a kiss, not even a smack on the lips.

She admired the man even more because he never took advantage of her.

She took another deep breath when they entered the house. She couldn't help but look around with amazement in her eyes. The luxuries enjoyed by him and his brother were obvious.

"Have you seen my brother?" Red asked the helper who greeted them.

"Good evening, Sir, Ma'am. Sir Clayton is already in the dining room waiting for you," said the elderly maid politely.

"Thank you, Nana Mildred," the smiling man replied.

Smiling, she nodded to the old woman. She was the one who automatically held her boyfriend's arm especially as they approached the dining room. He turned to her and held her hand on his arm.

"Chill," he laughed softly when he said that.

She saw that a lot of food was ready on the table. There is a man standing with his back turned. He was wearing a black coat and black slacks. Just looking at his back, she already feels intimidated.

"Brother," Red called to him.

The man slowly turned around to look at them. Their eyes met.

Why did her chest suddenly throb? She was just nervous, her mind said.

Red's brother also stared at her for a long time. Eventually, his forehead suddenly wrinkled as if angry. She couldn't escape the sight of his gaze looking at her whole body from head to toe. As he did so the frown on his forehead deepened even more.

She sighed. Red's brother doesn't seem to like her. Her boyfriend also said that he already introduced three of his girlfriends to his brother. His brother did not like all of those three. He said that they were either too liberated or even a social climber. The last girlfriend he introduced even seduced his older brother.

Red didn't seem to notice the disgust on his brother's face because she can still the wide smile on her boyfriend's face.

"Meet Samantha, bro. She's my girlfriend. Sam, meet my brother, Clayton," he introduced them to each other.

The man did not leave his position and remained standing there while staring at her without a smile on his lips.

She let go of Red's arm and hesitated to approach Red's brother to shake his hand.

"G-good evening. Nice to meet you at last," she said politely and reached out her hand.

He didn't reach out a hand and ignored her hand completely.

"You may sit down now so we can eat," his voice was more intimidating.

Embarrassed she lowered her hand and simply touched the skirt she was wearing. Smiling, Red came up next to her and held her arm to sit down. She sat next to Red's chair while his brother sat at the end of the table.

She averted her eyes from the man because his gaze seemed to make her uncomfortable. Red took care of her and he was the one putting food on her plate.

"Let me do it," she shyly interrupted her boyfriend.

"Oh, let me. I'll be happy to serve you, Nap," Red's eyes teased her again.

"So, how did your love story begin?"

She stopped eating and suddenly looked at Red as if nervous. The man's voice was scary. Actually, he has a great voice. It is so masculine but it seems like anyone who hears it will be scared.

Red smiled at her and held out her hand that was on the table.

"Inside the mall, bro. She just caught my attention right away," Red didn't take his eyes off her.

She also smiled at her boyfriend but that smile faded when she met the gaze of Red's brother. He was drinking from a glass while looking at her. Unconsciously, she withdrew the hand that Red was holding.

"So are you still a student, Sam? If you're working already then what's your work?" He is like an interviewer to someone who is applying for a job.

"A-ahm, I'm working. I-I'm working online," her voice seemed to be shaking.

"What kind of online work?" was immediately followed by that question.

She swallowed hard. She can't think straight.

"Well?" he was waiting for her answer.

"I believe she's doing online works for a client like a virtual assistant. Right, Nap?" it was Red who answered for her.

She just nodded even though she didn't know what kind of work he just mentioned.

"Nap, don't be nervous, okay? My brother just wants to know you more," Red whispered to her.

She just smiled at her boyfriend, trying to calm herself.

"Online works for a client, huh? Interesting. I believe you are just waiting for your client's demands and you'll just do it with no second thoughts, right?" He said it like he wanted to tell her something else.

"R-right," though seemingly confused she just agreed as well.

She continued to eat even though she seemed to suddenly lose her appetite. Red's brother didn't say a word, which she was thankful for.

Eventually, he wiped his mouth with a table napkin.

"Please excuse me and just enjoy your meal. I have a scheduled call tonight. Nice meeting you, Samantha. Red, we'll talk later," he stood up while saying that and just looked at her for a moment before leaving the dining room.

Only then did she seem to breathe a sigh of relief when the man left.
