Chapter 150
When Don told Cindy that Brandon wanted to see her in his office, she was on pins and needles.
“Why does Mr. Crawley want to see me?”
She racked her brain but couldn’t for the life of her figure out why she had caught Brandon’s eye.
Don was also stumped, but he tried to reassure her with the mindset of a boss. “Probably work stuff. Chill out, Brandon is a tough cookie with a soft center. He won’t give you a hard time for no good reason.”
But Cindy wasn’t comforted by Don’s words.
She had never interacted with Brandon up close, but from a few times of watching from a distance, he seemed to have a daunting presence.
With that anxious feeling, she knocked on Brandon’s office door.
“Come in,” a deep voice followed from the office.
Cindy pushed the door open and immediately became more cautious upon seeing Brandon seated at his desk. “Mr. Crawley, you wanted to see me?”
“Mm.”
Brandon responded flatly, noticing her hand on the doorknob about to close the door, he quickly said, “Leave the door open.”
Cindy awkwardly withdrew her hand, feeling a bit awkward.
Brandon looked at Cindy. “How do you know Sophia?”
Cindy was taken aback. “Huh?”
She was puzzled by Brandon’s intentions. Thinking about Sophia’s stern instructions to keep their secret, she felt even more unsettled, wondering if there was an issue with Sophia.
“Is there a problem with Sophia?” she asked tentatively, not wanting to throw Sophia under the bus.
“No,” was Brandon’s reply.
Cindy was confused. Was he doing a more thorough background check?
“Just tell the truth. Don’t worry about anything else,” Brandon cut her off.
Cindy didn’t dare to spill the beans. She couldn’t get a read on Brandon’s intentions and didn’t know if he was in on something with Sophia or if he was digging for dirt on her. After all, she had just promised Sophia not to tell anyone, and if she blabbed to Brandon, it would look super shady.
And if it was the latter, if Sophia was in the clear and Brandon was just looking for an excuse to sack her, Cindy couldn’t bear the guilt of getting Sophia fired.
So she stuck to Sophia’s story. “I just met her when we were out for a meal. Her phone died and she couldn’t pay, so I just covered for her.”
