Chapter 9

Brandon glanced at him and reached out to take the phone.

“Hello?”

All he got in response was the busy tone of “beep beep”.

Brandon and Kent fell silent

“Maybe Ms. Yearwood accidentally hit a button, Kent tried to cover for Sophia, “She just told me she was busy, sounded a bit out of breath, like she was rushing somewhere.”

Brandon ignored him, simply tossing the phone back at him “Don’t mess around with unrelated stuff during meeting

times.

Kent didn’t say anything.

Brandon had already turned to Gavin, who looked puzzled, “Sorry for the sideshow, Mr. Evert.”

Gavin, over sixty and like Brandon, was also a big shot in the construction world, only with a much longer track record. He admired yet was wary of Brandon, the recent rising star. Today’s visit was mainly about seeking collaboration, so he brushed off Brandon’s apology with a hearty wave, “No worries, Mr. Crawley, everyone has their emergencies.”

Then he couldn’t help but glance at Brandon, “Mr. Crawley, if you have urgent matters to attend to, please go ahead. No rush, I just came to have a casual chat anyway”

Brandon said, “It’s fine.”

His gaze fleetingly glanced at Kent’s phone, yet his expression remained cool and detached.

Seeing through it all, Gavin suggested with a smile, “Mr. Crawley, how about we take a break? I didn’t sleep well last night either, had a night of grief thanks to my ungrateful son, might as well take the chance to rest up a bit.”

Kent jumped at the opportunity. “I’ll have someone take you to relax. The restaurant downstairs has afternoon teal ready, why not head down for a bite to tide you over?”

“Sounds good, Gavin chuckled as he stood up, “I’m actually getting a bit peckish.”
