Chapter 209
"Thanks," Brandon said to Susan on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Crawley, you're being too formal," Susan replied, with a sarcastic tone in her voice, clearly ticked off by his unreasonable request.
"Sorry about that," Brandon apologized again, "Ms. Cooper, what time are you free tonight? Let me take you out for dinner to make up for my rudeness today."
"No need to apologize, Mr. Crawley. Just keep our little secret, and we'll be square," said Susan, sounding pretty miffed. "But since you insist, let's say 10 PM. I've got to make a call to a client. Gotta hang up now."
And with that, she cut off the call.
Kent looked at Brandon worriedly, "Mr. Crawley?"
Brandon let out a sigh, his face an expression of nonchalance, "I'm fine."
Kent couldn't help but voice his concern, "Is there something you wanted to confirm?"
"Nothing," Brandon said, "Just chasing some wild geese."
At 10 PM, Kent had set up a dinner in a bustling district for them.
Brandon met Susan as planned.
No miracles happened.
Seeing Susan approaching, Brandon felt an unusually calm state of mind, tinged with a hint of ennui, finding it hard to get excited.
He didn't stick around for long, making small talk for a bit before making an excuse to leave early.
Susan couldn't help but glance at Brandon's retreating figure and tentatively asked Kent, "What's up with Mr. Crawley?"
"He might just be in a funk," Kent replied, just as clueless, "He's been acting kind of off today."
Susan probed, "Off how?"
Kent shared, "He seems to have trouble believing you're actually in the city."
Susan chuckled, "If I'm not here, where else could I be?"
Kent laughed along, "Exactly."
He couldn't help but look at her and said, "You've been doing well for yourself these past couple of years, looking more radiant than ever."
