Chapter 241

Sophia's hands were shaking as she pressed down on his fingers, "I got this."

She muttered under her breath, keeping her eyes and brows low without looking at him, cheeks slightly flushed.

Brandon glanced at her and gave a small nod, "Alright."

He turned off the hairdryer and handed it to her.

At that moment, the dryer buzzed with the sound that the cycle was done.

The bathrobe was made of ice silk appropriate for the season, light and soft, and it dried quickly.

Brandon went to fetch it and tossed her the women's robe and a towel, "Taking a hot shower might help you relax."

"Okay."

Sophia responded softly, taking the clothes he handed her and heading into the bathroom.

Brandon grabbed his phone and made a call to the front desk to order some room service, then he rang up Kent to check on their situation.

They had already found a vacancy in the hotel next door.

Only a double room was left.

The two big guys would have to suck it up and squeeze into one bed tonight.

Kent couldn't help but gripe about it.

And Don, standing right there, couldn't help but join in the gripe fest.

He hadn't shared a bed with another dude since he was an adult.

Kent jumped into the fray too.

Brandon let them bicker, dropping a "Y'all keep at it" before hanging up.

As he put his phone down, Sophia's phone, which was on the table, lit up too.

A video call came through from Susan.

Seeing the blinking "Susan" on the screen, Brandon zoned out for a second, his long finger moving towards Sophia's phone screen, thinking of answering, but stopped just before touching it.

He turned to look at the firmly shut bathroom door.
