Chapter 356

The receptionist knew someone in the CEO's office and was totally gobsmacked to see Brandon fussing over a little girl like that.

She'd been at the company for years and, though she didn't see the big boss too often, aside from a bit of gossip a couple of years back when Sophia showed up looking for Brandon, sparking rumors that he was hitched, followed by whispers of a divorce not long after, Brandon's love life and marital status were pretty much a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside the company. No one ever heard a peep about him having kids.

She couldn't for the life of her figure out what Brandon's deal was with the little girl and her curiosity was killing her. As soon as she saw Brandon hop into the elevator, she couldn't wait to shoot a message to her connection in the CEO's office to do some digging and spilled the beans about what just went down.

Even though folks had seen Brandon bring the little girl to work before, their jaws hit the floor every time, totally clueless about what was up with the two of them.

People could chalk it up to coincidence the first time, but when it kept happening, they started thinking there was more to the story.
