"He... he..."
Sandy had seen situations like this before, but Nelson's behavior truly caught her off guard.
"Surprised?" Brandon raised his hand to block Sandy's direct gaze at the scene inside the car.
Sandy turned to face Brandon, playing along. "Not surprised, just... a bit intrigued?"
"... Intrigued?" Brandon raised an eyebrow. "Intrigued by what?"
Sandy chuckled, speaking in a hushed voice. "Well, it's kind of nice to look at."
Brandon looked at her, about to say something, when Sandy's voice chimed in again. "Do you even know if Nelson is on top or... uh..."
Sandy's words were cut off by Brandon placing a hand over her mouth. "Let's head home."
"Okay." Sandy obediently followed Brandon to the car.
What Brandon didn't expect was that Sandy had already been chatting with Nelson early in the morning.
"Really? You said that?" Sandy seemed excited. "Alright, I'll go find... this afternoon."
"Are you free?" Brandon picked up the phone and activated the speaker. "If you're not busy, I can have my uncle arrange something for you. Maybe take over some international business?"
Nelson quickly hung up the phone upon hearing this.
Sandy looked at Brandon in disbelief. "Brandon, why did you hang up my call?"
"He hung up himself!" Brandon put the phone on the table and looked at her. "Up so early?"
"I woke up." Sandy replied, reaching for her phone, but Brandon grabbed it before her. "Time to get up, wash up, and have breakfast downstairs."
Sandy looked up at him and started to pout. "Don't wanna, not hungry, not in the mood!"
Brandon observed her and suddenly burst into laughter. "Are you so curious about Nelson?"
Sandy nodded involuntarily, then quickly shook her head. "No, we were just talking about other things."
Brandon might not know Sandy inside and out, but he was pretty confident in his 90% understanding of her. So, when Sandy said this, he naturally didn't believe it.
Sandy tugged at the hem of Brandon's shirt and whispered, "Brandon, have you decided about the photo shoot?"
Brandon looked at her and replied, "I'm planning to check it out later. But your sister said there's this...?"
"No need. I talked to Nelson. We're going to see the place in the afternoon. He showed me some finished shots, and I really liked the style. I decided to go with it." Sandy's decision on the photo shoot surprised Brandon.
Brandon had been about to say something, but seeing Sandy's expression, he held back the words on his lips. "Alright, let's have lunch and go check it out in the afternoon."
Seeing that Brandon agreed, Sandy smiled, then quickly got up and hurried into the bathroom.
Taking advantage of Sandy's absence, Brandon turned to make a call to Nelson.
The call was picked up quickly, but the voice on the other end wasn't Nelson's.
"Looking for Nelson?" The person on the line was courteous.
Though Brandon was aware of Nelson's situation, the abruptness of the situation caused him to momentarily hesitate. He then proceeded to say, "Yes, I need to speak with him about something."
The voice on the other end of the line was warm and steady. "Certainly, I'll transfer you."
Soon, Nelson came on the line. "Brandon, need something?"
Brandon rubbed his forehead. "Did you talk to Sandy about the photo shoot?"
Upon hearing Brandon's words, Nelson first seemed taken aback and then let out a soft chuckle. "Yeah, I showed her Jim Bart's finished work. She really liked the style, so I suggested it, and she agreed."
