Chapter 151

Kent dropped the hotel name, it’s a stone’s throw from the office.

“Room 1503.”

At the end, Kent thoughtfully included the room number.

Brandon shot him a glance.

Kent, all humble and docile, said, “I’m off to work then.”

Brandon watched the office door close, glanced at his watch but didn’t get up. Instead, he grabbed some paperwork off his desk.

He got so wrapped up in work that before he knew it, it was nearly quitting time.

Brandon looked up at the clock in the top right corner of his computer screen and his busyness came to a halt.

After a moment of silence, he shut down his computer, stood up, grabbed his suit jacket from the coat rack, and snatched his car keys on his way out.

Kent, busy at work but quick to speak, blurted out, “Mr. Crawley, where are you headed?”

“Clocking out,” Brandon replied.

Brandon had already left, standing by the elevator, his face calm but with a fleeting moment of hesitation before he turned and asked Kent, “Did Sophia find a place?”
