Chapter 152

Don sure wasn’t whispering, and the moment his voice rang out, everyone who was buzzing with excitement suddenly tensed up and turned their gaze to Brandon.

Brandon glanced at the anxious crowd and didn’t want to kill the vibe, so he gave a slight nod, “Go ahead.”

As soon as he said that, the whole office seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Except for Sophia.

She had just finished a phone call and hadn’t noticed the subtle shift in the office atmosphere. She looked around confusedly, not sharing the collective exhale of relief, nor did she seem disappointed. She just had this thoughtful, serene look on her face.

Brandon noticed Sophia’s calm and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Don was already organizing carpooling.

Who rides with whom was crystal clear.

After sorting everyone out, he turned to Sophia, “Sophia, you ride with me.”

Sophia nodded, “Sure.”

Others were already shutting down their computers, packing up, and getting ready to leave, buzzing with excitement and chatting away as they headed out in groups.

Cindy, also caught up in the excitement, approached Sophia and casually linked arms with her, “Sophia, I’m tagging along with you.”

But then she paused slightly when she caught Brandon’s look, and her face showed a mix of caution and anxiety as she gave Brandon a restrained nod, “Mr. Crawley.”

Sophia cast a puzzled glance at her, then looked at Brandon.

Brandon simply nodded back, his expression revealing nothing out of the ordinary.

Don leaned over to grab his car keys from his desk and called out to Sophia and Cindy, “Let’s go.”
