Chapter 172

Brandon shot her a glance, his lips twitching slightly, but in the end, he said zilch, just strolled past her without missing a beat.

He was making a beeline towards Sophia.

Brandon paused his step for a heartbeat, then calmly headed back to the office.

In the fleeting moment he turned towards Don's office, Brandon caught sight of Sophia pressing the elevator's hold button, looking at the guy striding towards her, her face set with that polite, mild smile she always wore.
