Chapter 154
“You know what, you’re right. I’ve tried to leave you five times and I’ve lost every single time. Guess some things are just out of our hands. So this time, I’m not gonna gamble my future on a sixth go-around.”
As Sophia spoke, she glanced over at Brandon.
“I’m still easy to influence where you’re concerned; I’ve always known that’s a weak spot for me. That’s why I’ve always kept my distance from you. But just like you said, I can’t seem to escape this weird cycle. It feels like no matter where I run, I end up back with you, so I’ve decided to just go with the flow.”
“Even coming back this time, I wasn’t all that sure about it, so I left it up to fate. If I could make it back in time, great; if not, so be it. And I don’t know if it’s good luck or what, but despite the flight delays, I still made it to your opening ceremony. The moment I stepped into the Starlight Group, I knew for sure that I landed the Zenithan-style resort project fair and square. There’s no reason for me to let it go.”
“Although you’re not the one in charge of this project, we’re in the same company and it’s inevitable that our paths will cross. We may not be cut out to be husband and wife, but it’s not like we have any major beef between us. It’s just that our families, personalities, and ambitions don’t mesh, that’s all. We’re bound to interact professionally, so we can’t keep going at each other. like cats and dogs.”
Sophia said this, looking at him. “Maybe being friends is the most suitable relationship for us.”
Brandon stared at her silently for a moment. “We can’t be friends, Sophia.”
“There’s no middle ground for us. We’re either married or we’re strangers,” he said with a calm that borders on icy.
This version of Brandon reminded Sophia of the night they divorced.
The same calmness, the same ‘it is or it isn’t’, with no room for anything in between – not even a need for a reason.
Sophia didn’t know quite how to feel. She laughed a little and fell silent, feeling like she was awkwardly trying to suck up to someone in power.
Brandon didn’t say anything more.
They both quietly continued eating their skewers.
