Chapter 126

Kent nodded in agreement, “You can do it too, just gotta save up some cash.”

Mentioning this, Cindy was upset.

dreams goodbye.”

Cindy sighed heavily, unwittingly following Kent to the staff cafeteria, her chatter non-stop. “I was gonna add that girl on WhatsApp to get the lowdown, but she wasn’t having it, so no luck there.”

“It’s normal. After all, it’s personal stuff,” Kent responded without any judgment, “Having a bit of guard up is no biggie.”

“I get it,” Cindy said, still a bit bummed out, “But she doesn’t know me, and I don’t know her, so who am I gonna talk to?” Kent let out a dry chuckle.

Brandon quickened his pace to distance himself from the chatterboxes. He really wasn’t a fan of the never-ending buzz in his

ears.

Kent, who was good at reading the room, zipped his lips as soon as he noticed Brandon’s reaction, knowing they were being too noisy.

Cindy, the newbie who only knew Kent and wasn’t familiar with Brandon, cluelessly followed Kent, mimicking his every move as they got their food and sat down together.

Kent, who followed Brandon’s lead, felt uneasy when he saw Cindy tagging along and sat down with them, sneaking a glance at Brandon.
