Chapter 330

He had his doubts about the arrangement, for sure. After all, Ivan had made it crystal clear that he was into Sophia and he was planning on pursuing her. This setup was kinda iffy, but no better candidate had popped up in a pinch.

Brandon didn't miss the bit he blurted out when he first breezed through the door, "I'll have Ivan drop you off on his way."

"So you deliberately set Ivan up for this?" he asked, his voice cool as a cucumber.

"No way," Don was quick to clarify. "It just so happened Ivan was leaving too, came to say his goodbyes, and that's when I thought of hitching Sophia a ride with him."

"Just so happened?"

Brandon chewed on those words, glancing at Sophia.

Sophia kept mum, just shooting Don a look. "Mr. Dempsey, no need, I've already called a ride. I can cab it back on my own."

"I'll take you," Brandon said, checking his watch, "Give me a few."

"No need, there's a whole bunch of bigwigs and guests here," Sophia replied. "You stick with them."

"It's cool, I'll just say a quick hello," Brandon insisted. "You go wait in the car."
