Chapter 255

Brandon sneaked a glance at her, noticing she was getting squished and having a hard time turning around. He shuffled a tiny step to the side, making some room for her.

Sophia felt a little warmth in her heart and wanted to say "thanks," but seeing the crowd, she bit her tongue and stayed quiet, just quietly standing next to Brandon.

Sophia had no choice but to inch closer to Brandon, her forearm brushing against

Their familiar body heat transferred through the fabric of their clothes.

It was a bit awkward for Sophia.

and her fingers accidentally hooked onto Brandon's.

The warm touch zapped through their skin on contact.

Brandon gave her a look.

Sophia's cheeks flared up. "Sorry."

Cindy, standing right next to Sophia, saw her cheeks blazing and got worried. "Director Yearwood, what's wrong?"
