Chapter 1318

"Just go, Brandon. I don't want to argue with you here," Valarie said.

Upon seeing her cold expression, a sharp pain stabbed at Brandon's chest. Without a word, he turned and walked away.

Only when his figure disappeared through the restaurant's doors did the young man finally release Valarie's hand.

"Are you okay, Veevee?" he asked softly.

Valarie exhaled, offering a small smile. "I'm fine. Let's finish eating."

But throughout the rest of the meal, she was clearly distracted.

The young man noticed and did his best to make her laugh, but her mood remained subdued.

After dinner, Valarie offered to drive him back to his university.

The drive was quiet, her energy subdued-nothing like the lively spirit she'd had when they first met up.

When they reached the campus gate, he turned to her. "Veevee, do you... still have feelings for that guy from earlier?"

Valarie hesitated before answering, "No, I'm just tired. Don't overthink it. Get some rest."

"When can I see you again? I'll treat you to dinner next time," the young man said. "We'll see. Work's been busy lately," Valarie dismissed.
