Chapter 156
Sophia, still waiting for the elevator, had slightly closed her eyes, fighting off the dizziness the booze was causing.
The dude still hugging his girlfriend was checking Sophia out with a sleazy look in his eyes, his gaze dropping from her flushed face to her gently heaving chest.
She was dressed all business-like today, in a long-sleeve white chiffon blouse, paired with a light khaki ankle-length skirt, and her brown curls draped over her shoulders, professional with a touch of softness.
Sophia definitely caught the skeevy vibe coming from the guy’s stare.
She opened her eyes and gave him an icy glance, subtly turning her body to block his view of her chest, her grip on the phone in her hand tightening just a bit.
Brandon noticed her fingers hovering over her phone, not really about to call the cops, but keeping her options open.
He was right there, for crying out loud.
Brandon looked away, squashing the surge of anger bubbling up inside him, then turned back and strode over to her, grabbing her hand as soon as he reached her, shooting a cold look at the elevator-waiting creep.
Intimidated by the chill in his eyes, the guy unconsciously tightened his grip on his girl and found an excuse to skedaddle.
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Brandon, holding Sophia’s hand a bit too forcefully, ushered her inside and pressed the button for the fifteenth floor.
Sophia silently watched him, not saying a word.
Her hand, firmly held, tried to squirm free, but at the slightest movement, Brandon’s grip just tightened, giving her no chance to break away.
It wasn’t until they reached the door of the room that Brandon finally extended his hand, “Room key!”
His voice was cold and tinged with anger, quashing any of Sophia’s attempts to resist.
Hesitating, she pulled out the room card, which Brandon snatched away, swiped to open the door, and pushed Sophia inside before turning his attention to the room.
It was a spacious double room with no kitchen appliances.
