The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 330

"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."
