Chapter 50

“No way, Brandon,” Sophia said softly but firmly, “Moving back here was already my bottom line, Brandon. Don’t push

Brandon’s eyes were fixed on her, but he said nothing.

Sophia stood her ground too.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Eventually, Brandon was the first to throw in the towel. “Let’s head back.”

Sophia gave a small nod, not wanting to argue over it anymore.

She pushed open the car door and stepped out, turning to see Brandon doing the same.

Brandon hit the electronic lock to secure the car and walked around the front toward her. “Let’s go.”

Sophia nodded lightly. “Yeah.”

With that, she headed toward the elevator bay.

Brandon, originally at her side ready to walk with her, froze as a stocky figure caught his eye. He quickly draped his arm over Sophia’s shoulder, subtly sidestepping towards a pillar.

Sophia looked at him, puzzled.

Brandon gave her a zip it look, glancing casually over his shoulder.
