Chapter 278

Sophia's vision was a bit blurry, but for some reason, she got hooked on the cocktail of emotions swirling in his eyes and zoned out staring at them.

Brandon just silently watched her, not saying a word.

After a while, his hand, hanging by his side, twitched, and then he raised it, gently brushing away the stray hair the wind had whipped onto her forehead.

The moment his fingertip touched her hair, Sophia snapped back to reality, tilting her head slightly and awkwardly dodged his reaching hand.

Brandon looked at her, his expression unaltered by the interaction.

"Martin hit you up, didn't he?" he asked softly, gazing at her.

Sophia let out a laugh, shaking her head lightly, "Nah, it was just some work stuff, nothing major."

Brandon nodded, picking up on her reluctance to dive into details. He didn't pry and simply said, "You know, Martin can be a bit off the wall sometimes. You don't have to bother with him."

Sophia nodded in agreement, "Mhm."
