Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1369

"I'm not doing anything special. What's up? Aren't you supposed to be in a business meeting? How do you have time to call me?" Valarie asked.

Brandon replied, "It's all taken care of. My flight is tonight. Want to meet up?" Valarie raised an eyebrow. "What time will you be back in Saintornia?"

"A little after 11:00 p.m.," Brandon answered.

Valarie shook her head. "That's too late. You've been on a business trip for almost a week. You should just go home and rest."

Brandon chuckled. "But I really want to see you. How about this? I'll have my driver stop by your place. We can see each other briefly, and then I'll head home. Sound good?"

Valarie considered it. His route home would pass by her neighborhood anyway. "Alright. Just call me when you're close. I'm about to have dinner, so I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"Okay," Brandon replied.
