Chapter 480

Brandon was in the office when he got the message. He'd just finished lunch and was gearing up to swing by the hospital to pick up Daniel, who was getting

discharged.

As a notification popped up, he glanced at his phone, his gaze lingering on the words "Thank you" before grabbing the device to text Sophia back, "Awake?"

"Mm-hmm," Sophia's response came back quick.

"Have you eaten?" He asked.

Sophia replied, "Not yet, about to."

Brandon texted, "Food's on the table, zap it in the microwave if it's gone cold."

Sophia sent, "Okay."

Brandon's lips curved into a silent smile, and then he put away the phone and didn't text back.

Setting his phone aside, he looked up at Kent, who was stealthily watching him, and cleared his throat. Kent snapped back to reality.

"Mr. Crawley."

He addressed him with utter respect, "Did you need something?"

Brandon had just called him into the office when the text came in, and Kent was still in the dark about why he was summoned so suddenly in the middle of the day.

"I need a few bottles of the strong stuff," Brandon said, "the kind with a kick." "Now?" Kent asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty, nearly yelping in surprise. Brandon nodded, "Yeah, now. ASAP."
