Chapter 179 The Taste of Gossip

Brendon stared at her phone for a moment but no new messages came in. He knew Ranita's phone password and wanted to open it up and take a closer look but found that the password was incorrect! Brendon was dumbfounded! When did Ranita change her password?

A wave of displeasure washed over Brendon as he planned on asking Ranita about it. Just then, she walked out quickly and snatched her phone from his hand. "What are you doing with my phone?" she asked.

"I... my phone is dead so I wanted to use yours to call Caleb," Brendon replied after taking a deep breath. He then asked, "Did you change your password?"

"Mm-hmm," Ranita replied nonchalantly before walking away with her phone.

Brendon felt like he had just had a heart attack. She never used passwords to him before!

Ranita unlocked her screen and saw Jedidiah's message; after some thought, she replied, "I'm going on business trip in Qaesburg; let me know when you're coming." It wasn't that she was avoiding him; she really did have work obligations.

"When are you leaving? And when will you be back?" Jedidiah asked.

"I'm leaving today but I don't know when I'll be back," said Ranita who always let Brendon decide their travel itinerary since they were traveling together for work purposes.

Ranita thought for a moment and replied, "Let's talk about it later! I'll pack my things first, and then we can chat."

Ranita swiftly packed her belongings because she was used to traveling. She had a set of luggage specifically for business trips, with everything she needed. She just had to add some fresh clothes.

In the car, Brendon remained unusually silent.

Since the trip came up suddenly, Ranita called Olivia to instruct her on handling certain matters. Ranita spoke calmly and clearly, her voice neither sharp nor overly sweet, but refreshingly pleasant.

Brendon occasionally listened to her speak and became captivated by her words.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ranita said after hanging up the call. She looked up only to find that Brendon was staring at her silently with unblinking eyes. Fora moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
