The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 215

Chapter 215

By the time Brandon headed back, he had managed to chill out completely. The storm of emotions inside him had died down, but there was still this heavy feeling in his chest, a kind of deep-seated discomfort that just wouldn't go away. In a flash, he felt like life had lost all its flavor.

He lost interest in everything, even his work, which he normally couldn't get enough of.

Back at home, staring at the empty room, Brandon felt an emptiness inside, suddenly bewildered, clueless about what the heck life was all about.

Just thinking about Sophia, imagining her with Ivan, that familiar sting started spreading in his chest, almost leaving him breathless.

Brandon tried a few times to shift his focus back to work, but Sophia was like a weed in his brain, impossible to shake off. No matter how hard he tried to distract himself, images of her holding hands with Ivan kept replaying in his head, driving him nuts.

Especially since they were traveling together, probably sharing a hotel room, maybe even the same bed.

With a snap, Brandon chucked his pen onto the desk. He grabbed his work phone and called Don.

"Brandon?"

Don, rarely receiving calls from Brandon's work phone, sounded tentative.

"It's me."

Despite the emotional turmoil, Brandon's voice was cool as a cucumber, "What project is Ivan handling right now?"

"Why are you asking all of a sudden?" Don was puzzled, "He just started on this massive project, some skyscraper that's supposed to be a city within a city. I got him and Sophia on it."

"What stage is it at?"

"Still drafting the initial proposal."

"Did they submit the plan yet?"

"Not yet, no rush."
