Chapter 19

In the office, Kent couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Brandon in the inner office now and then.

After looking over at him, he couldn’t resist giving Susan the once over, his eyes scrutinizing her until she got ticked off, “What’s up?”

She was still miffed about running into him earlier and his incessant babbling.

Susan scoffed at him, “That’s not a change in attitude. It just shows your boss is still sore about being dumped by Sophia and can’t get over the blow to his ego.”
