Chapter 862

"Why not? Or do you think I'm not worthy?" Xander admitted confidently. But both Lisa and I thought he was joking. The more open he seemed, the less likely it was true. I couldn't tell if Xander was bored with the small crowd. Still, he started acting like our personal assistant, going out of his way to help Lisa and me. It even rubbed Brandon the wrong way. "If you're trying to win over a girlfriend, don't try to impress my wife." "Well, you used to beg me to help you give your wife a raise and take care of her, making sure she eats on time," Xander retorted without being polite. "I'm doing all this out of habit, got it?" Brandon's face betrayed no emotion. "It's not the same now as it was back then. From now on, keep some distance from my wife. Besides... if you've done what I was going to do, what's left for me?" Xander laughed. "You could have easily admitted you were trying to please her. Why the act with me?" "Xander, no wonder you're still single at 30," Brandon shot back.
