The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 109

Brandon shot him a glance. “Spit it out.”

Kent cautiously eyed his expression. “Should I really spill the beans? If I step out of line, please go easy on me.”

“I won’t.”

Kent was speechless

Don elbowed Kent. “Just come out with it, man. Why you beating around the bush?”

Kent cleared his throat, looked over at Brandon who had turned his attention back to work, and felt it was time to bite the bullet

while Don was there to back him up. So he addressed Brandon. “Mr. Crawley.”

Brandon was flipping through reports and didn’t look up, simply responded with one word. “Speak.”

“Did you run into Ms. Yearwood at the hospital?”

Brandon’s hand paused on the report, he tilted his head slightly and gave Kent a look. “You knew she’s back in town?”

“Did she contact you?” he asked.

The light questions and the chilly gaze made Kent instantly recall the incident two years ago when Sophia asked him to convey a message to Brandon about returning money. At that time, he carelessly called her “Sophia” and said, “Mr. Crawley, Sophia’s on the line.” What he got in return was the same kind of icy stare and a bone-chillingly calm remark, “Since when are you and Ms. Yearwood on a first-name basis?” That look, paired with his slowly measured tone, made Kent’s spine tingle.

This time, to avoid any suspicion, he had carefully referred to Sophia as “Ms. Yearwood,” but it seemed he still couldn’t dodge the scrutiny in that gaze and tone.

Feeling the weight of Brandon’s stare, Kent quickly waved his hands to show his innocence.

“Why would she contact me for no reason?” Kent chuckled nervously, carefully choosing his words, “Aren’t you off your game today?”

Don, intrigued, raised an eyebrow, looked at Brandon, then back at Kent. “What’s the deal here?”

Kent didn’t dare cater to Don’s gossip, his eyes still nervously fixed on Brandon.
