The Brother Who Hates Me - Chapter 11 I will drop my position at the company

“Nanny Rong, you call our big Raven now and show her what’s for our dinner tonight,” said Senior Choi who was grinning widely.

He was sure his big Raven will drool seeing the meals. These were all her favorite seafood dishes.

Jordan who just arrived home heard his father and commented.

“Are you going to call her every day? For goodness sake, give her time to at least miss you and besides she might be busy buying groceries right now!”

Senior’s Choi brow arched. ‘How come this brat often gets on his nerve?’ He ignored him and waited for Nanny Rong to call big Raven.

“Old Master, Raven said she will call us once she’s back at her apartment.” Nanny Rong said while holding the mobile phone.

Senior Choi asked, “Why? Where is she? It’s almost dinner time. Tell her not to skip meals.”

“She’s with Sheena buying groceries at the supermarket.” Nanny Rong replied.

‘How the hell did he guess it right?’ He thought as he looked to Jordan suspiciously.

“Did you call her already?” he asked.

“Why would I? I am not like you. You’re suffocating.” Jordan mindlessly answered while he sat at the dining table.

Senior Choi frowned, “Suffocating? As if I don’t know what you are doing. I’m just more open unlike you who did things at the dark.”

Senior Choi spoke the words with meaning while he looked intently to his son.

Jordan just shrugged off his father’s statements and started to eat dinner.

–

“Father seemed to be missing me a lot.” Raven commented after the line was cut-off.

“Yeah right, maybe he’s not the only one who misses you.” Sheena suddenly blurted out while her mouth twitched as she looked on her mobile phone.

“I think we have enough, common let’s pay and go back.” Sheena continued.

Raven just nodded in agreement. It’s been fifteen days already since they arrived. Almost every day her father would call to check on her.

It’s already dark when the girls arrived at the apartment. Raven saw a man standing at their door

“Is that Chad?” She asked Sheena.

They were walking at the hallway and about six meters away from her apartment door.

She was nearsighted so without her eyeglass on, it’s very hard for her to recognize people’s faces with four meters distance afar.

But based on his built and style of clothing, he looks like Chad.

Sheena who was currently texting looked up to see.

“What the hell? Yeah it’s Chad.” Sheena gasped in surprise.

Raven walked faster, “Hey what are you doing here?”

“Surprise!!!” Chad happily announced.

Sheena rolled her eyes, “how long have you waited? Duhh you could at least inform us beforehand you know.”

Chad scratched his head. He do waited for almost an hour at the waiting area then decided to check around Raven’s floor. Her apartment was on the third floor.

“Wow your apartment was so nice,” Chad exclaimed as they enter. The living space was adorned with extra-large windows allowing for an abundance of natural light.

Raven smiled. She owned one unit at Somers Place. It’s a gift from his father and she loved it the moment she arrived.

Somers Place is a wonderful community replete with all the comforts of home, while surrounded by nature. Amenities are 24-hour concierge, 24 Hour fitness centre, free laundry room.

It boasts lots of natural light and beautiful views throughout. Some additional benefits include Fresh Pond Trail, Parks and Recreation including tennis, pools and other more.

“You are right in time. I will cook for dinner. You just sit and chat with Sheena while waiting.” Raven happily prepared for her cooking.

“Uhmmm, Raven why don’t we just have a deliver. Chad seemed to be hungry already. Right Chad?”

Sheena suggested while she signalled Chad to ride with her.

Chad laughed in silence as he understood Sheena’s look. In their group chat the latter has been complaining that she’s been Raven’s taster from the moment they arrived at her apartment.

Since school hasn’t started yet, Raven has been into cooking for the past days.

Chad ignored Sheena’s pleading eyes and smiled at Raven, “Okay I will try your food.”

“Here. Have a chat with Sheena while I prepare our dinner” Raven give Chad a juice and appetizer.

‘Oh crap another cooking experiment. How I wish the class started soon.’ Sheena helplessly thought before opening the television and sat on the sofa.

Meanwhile, Chad did not sit yet and instead walked around.

“Hey you have three bedrooms. Can I sleep over tonight?” He asked Raven.

“NOOOOO!!!” Sheena answered in a loud voice.

Chad’s brow arched, “Why are you the one answering?”

Sheena answered, “Because I stay here too! Besides, it’s inappropriate for you since we are both girls here and…”

Sheena paused as if thinking for more alibis to justify her refusal.

Raven just laugh at the two and suddenly remembered that she promised to call her father.

–

At the Choi’s mansion, Senior Choi was at the living room eating fruits.

He saw Jordan and said, “Son come here and join us. The fruits are tasty and we will watch a blockbuster movie that topped this month.”

“Nope. I’ll pass. I need to check the proposals for the new business venture.” Jordan replied.

Then they heard a ring from the laptop near the television screen.

“It’s Raven. Go and accept the video call Nanny Rong.” Senior Choi instructed.

Nanny Rong was about to get-up when they heard Jordan speaking from behind. “I’ll do it Nanny Rong.”

The elders were both startled as they thought Jordan already left. After Jordan accepted the call he sat beside his father and get some fruits.

Senior Choi raised an eyebrow, “I thought you were busy?”

“I will just try the fruits.” Jordan muttered.

Nanny Rong got up to get more fruits when she heard Jordan.

Senior Choi was still about to comment at Jordan but Raven already appeared on the television screen.

“Hi father. Oh Jordan is there…” Raven greeted them with all her smiles and waved with both hands.

“I am cooking dinner now. I have a guest. You want to see?” Raven continued while she moved her pace closer to show Sheena at the living room and Chad.

Chad waved also while Sheena became pale seeing Jordan in the screen.

Senior Choi spoke, “I see the boy Chad. What is he doing there?”

“Surprise visit Sir. Just wanted to check how the girls are doing and if their place was secure enough.” Chad answered while smiling.

‘Of course that was secured. I’m the one who personally inspected the place.’ Jordan would like to interrupt.

“Oh that was sweet of you.” Senior Choi commented.

Chad continued, “Sir, they have three bedrooms so I asked Raven if I could stay for tonight on the spare one.”

“If you dare agree I will drop my position at the company and let you manage it on your own.” Jordan murmured in a threatening tone, enough for Senior Choi to hear.

Senior Choi: “……..”
