Chapter 468

Sophia had just grabbed some utensils, ready to dish up some food, when she heard the question and instinctively pointed towards Zion City. "Headed over to Zion City."

Brandon's brows furrowed slightly. "Why has it taken so long?"

He hadn't heard of any issues with the project over there lately.

Of course, usually, the only problems that made it to his desk were the big hairy ones they couldn't handle on their own.

"Just hit a snag during the construction, needed the designer to pop over and brainstorm a solution," Sophia murmured.

Brandon nodded in understanding, noticing she was still awkwardly holding an empty bowl, and reached out naturally. "Gimme the bowl."

Sophia handed it over without thinking, and by the time she realized what was happening, Brandon was already serving her up some grub.

She felt a bit out of place for a moment, but didn't feel right about snatching the task back either.

"Is the problem sorted now?"

Brandon asked while dishing up the food.

Sophia nodded lightly. "Yeah, pretty much."

He nodded back, didn't make a big deal out of it, and passed her the filled bowl.

"Dig in, I'll take Theresa to wash up," Brandon said.

Sophia nodded again. "Mhm."
