The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 336

Chapter 336

Sophia was at the airport waiting for her flight when she received the message.

Susan, Theresa, and Grace were hanging out with her.

She had wrapped up all her work with Ivan that morning, touched base with the clients around noon, and handed off the project to Ivan. Only after making sure everything at work was squared away did she head out to the airport.

Susan and Grace brought Theresa along to the airport separately.

Since this was a spur-of-the-moment decision to go on a long trip, there wasn't enough time to plan a destination or pack properly, so they just grabbed their IDs and some essentials and took off.

They bought their tickets at the airport, opting for the next available flight, destination unknown.

Thanks to the off-season and the fact that it was a weekday, they scored tickets with ease.

She didn't plan on vanishing without a word, but saying goodbye in advance wasn't an option either-she was worried about complications.

She did draft emails to Don and Brandon to explain and apologize; she just set them to send later.

She'd clear the air with the work group chat in time.

Upon seeing Cindy's message, Sophia stared at her phone silently for a bit, then replied, [Don't sweat it, no worries.]

Her nonchalance was a huge relief for Cindy, who quickly messaged back, [Thanks, Director Yearwood.]

But still a bit anxious, Cindy asked, [Won't this affect you, though? I mean, Mr. Crawley seemed pretty upset about it.]

[It won't, don't stress,] Sophia texted back, [I'll handle it. Just focus on your work and don't mind the rest.]

[Thanks, Director Yearwood,] Cindy sent another grateful message, [By the way, where did you go? Are you coming back for lunch? Mr. wley packed lunch for you—it's still on your desk, might be cold now. Shall I heat it up for you?]

She attached a photo of the unopened lunch box.

Sophia opened the photo. The lunch box was a big portion, carefully packed, sitting quietly on her desk.

Looking at the photo, Sophia spaced out for a moment, remembering how he had offered to have lunch with her that morning and she had said, "Let's do dinner."

She had lied to him.

In fact, as soon as she told Don not to take a leave of absence, she was already organizing today's departure.

She knew Brandon had sensed something, but they just didn't call each other out on it.
