The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 593

"Yeah, I'm in the living room," Grace said as she ushered her guest inside.

Brandon was busy building blocks with Theresa when he noticed Kent walking in. He looked up and asked, "Did you finish checking the surveillance footage with Mr. Ferber?"

Kent nodded.

"What's he looking for?" Brandon inquired.

"A girl," Kent replied.

Brandon's brow furrowed slightly as he waited for Kent to continue.

"The person was wearing a uniform from one of our company's branches, so Mr. Ferber is hoping the company can help track down her details."

Kent handed his phone to Brandon as he spoke, showing a photo of the girl Harvey Ferber was looking for.

But the mall was so crowded, they couldn't get a clear shot of the girl's face-just a vague impression of a young lady with a fresh and elegant vibe.

"What's her name?" Brandon asked.

"They didn't say," Kent answered. "Mr. Ferber mentioned she wasn't using her real identity info, so mentioning it would be pointless."

"So he expects you to go on a wild goose chase across the entire company with just this surveillance snap?" Brandon questioned.

Kent nodded. "That's the gist of it."

"That's a real pain in the neck," Brandon said as he stood up and looked at Kent. "You agreed to that?"

Kent shook his head. "I didn't commit to anything specific, just said I'd do my best."

And 'doing my best' could mean a whole lot or very little-plenty of wiggle room there.
