Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 116

Even after dropping Briar off at home, Brandon was still scratching his head. “Why does Miss Jennings seem a little off tonight? he matt to himself.

Briar wasn’t exactly the talkative type, but she was never this serious. She hadn’t cracked a smile or said a single word the whole way back

Earlier, she didn’t say a word, just walked with her head down.

Brandon wondered, ‘Was she in a hurry or something?

‘It usually takes her two minutes to get home, but tonight she made it in fifty seconds. She practically sprinted the whole way!

But the most suspicious thing to Brandon was that she had a milk mustache on her lips.

‘Did she forget to wipe it off? Or was she just in too much of a hurry?‘ Brandon wondered to himself.

Brandon made his way back to Ashton’s bedroom door, pulled out his phone, and started chatting away with Xavion, eager to spill the funny

news.

Xavion let out a sigh when he heard it, then reminded Brandon, “Don’t overthink what goes on in Mr. Wade’s room.

“If he finds out you’re poking your nose in, you’re the one who’s gonna get it.”

Brandon was the definition of a straight–shooter. He was so straightforward that it was almost a medical condition.

However, he was quite obedient. Even though he was stunned, he nodded right away. “Alright, got it.”

He didn’t get how talking about Briar could suddenly be considered gossiping about Ashton.

Brandon wondered, ‘Isn’t Miss Jennings just the doctor who’s supposed to put Mr. Wade to sleep?

“How did that get mixed up with Mr. Wade’s private life?‘

Xavion glanced at the time. “Alright, it’s getting late on your end. The boss is already asleep, so you should hit the sack too.”

Brandon sounded reluctant. “Come on, can’t we talk a little longer? It’s been forever since we last hung out.”

Xavion rolled his eyes dramatically. “Didn’t I sneak back to Shoneport in the middle of the night just half a month ago?

“Didn’t we hang out then?”

Brandon went quiet, then reluctantly mumbled a pitiful goodnight before hanging up.

Just like Briar said, she holed up in her room all day Sunday.

She didn’t even come downstairs for breakfast. Ashton knocked on her door, but no matter what, he couldn’t get her to come out.
