The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 601

He had just come back from the meeting room.

First thing in the morning, he walked into the office and headed straight for a meeting, and who would've thought that after all that, the other party still hadn't accepted his friend request.

Brandon glanced at the clock on his computer screen-it was already past ten.

If last night they didn't log into their work WhatsApp because it was the weekend and their day off, then by now they should definitely be online.

Were they not accepting because they didn't recognize him, or was it that... they didn't want to accept?

As the question started to form in his mind, Kent knocked and entered the room.

"Mr. Crawley, Mr. Ferber would like to see you."

Brandon looked at him: "Harvey Ferber?"

"Yes, he said he happened to be passing by the office and thought he'd drop in for a visit," Kent said, presenting the calling card as he spoke, "He's currently in the reception room."

Brandon locked eyes with Kent, a slight frown knotting his brow.

Harvey Ferber showing up at this time-was he planning to come directly to the company to find Arlene, or had he also heard that Arlene had taken on the design project for the West District Junior High Science Museum?

As these doubts swirled in his mind, Brandon reached out to take the calling card from Kent and headed for the door.

"I'll go see him."

"Alright." Kent turned to follow.

"And another thing," Brandon said without breaking stride, "get in touch with President Poe and tell him to reach out to the designer. Say that if the designer is keen to collaborate but isn't leaving a phone number or accepting WhatsApp requests, how are we supposed to communicate about work?"

"Got it."

Kent acknowledged, pulled out his phone, and hurriedly dialed President Poe.

He hadn't expected the designer to be so high and mighty-ignoring friend requests left and right.
