The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 200

Zachary was a bit awkward all of a sudden, not expecting neither of them to be interested.

"No biggie, I'll hook you up with someone else next time," Zachary said with a chuckle.

"Thanks, Mr. Gardner," Brandon replied, keeping it cool and polite.

"What are you being so formal for?" Zachary laughed, "I thought since you guys are about the same age and have similar temperaments, it'd be worth a shot to set you up. But hey, no worries. Even if you don't hit it off romantically, being friends is still cool," Zachary added with another chuckle.

Sophia just smiled, not really knowing what to say, feeling the awkwardness of the moment. Brandon just glanced at Zachary without joining in the conversation.

Zachary then turned his attention to Sophia, "Sophia, you're not getting any younger. Careers are important, but don't let work get in the way of your personal life."

"I got it, Mr. Gardner; don't worry about me," Sophia lightly responded.

"Good to hear. Just don't brush off me." Zachary was quite invested in this matter, "Who doesn't want to find a boyfriend? You can't have that mindset. Young people should date while they're young and tie the knot when they find the right one."

Sophia, not sure how to respond, just nervously nodded, "Yeah."

"What's your type? I'll keep an eye out for you," Zachary offered.

"Really, no need, Mr. Gardner," Sophia managed, struggling to keep smiling.

"Nope, that won't do. At this rate, you'll be single till the cows come home." Zachary was dead set on this, "I've taught lots of students, seen all types. There are plenty of great catches among them. Just tell me what you're looking for, and I'll play matchmaker."
