The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 149

Kent said, "Funny, outgoing, and super charming. He was a big deal back in school, the type that girls go gaga over. Heard he had quite the fan club chasing after him."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, catching the stern look from Brandon.

Brandon said with a cool tone, "Kent, have you got too much time on your hands?"

Kent quickly backed down. "Nope."

Brandon shoved his drink into Kent's hand and walked away.

Kent, curious, glanced at Brandon's retreating figure heading towards Sophia.

Meanwhile, Sophia was chatting with Augus.

"Hey, which school did you graduate from?"

He was talkative and straightforward. They started off talking about architectural design, but smoothly, he steered the conversation back to Sophia.

Once Sophia mentioned her alma mater, Augus's eyes lit up with surprise. "So you're the legendary senior Sophia from that school? No wonder your name rang a bell."

Sophia wasn't aware of any legend about her, and feeling a bit awkward with Augus's direct praise, she just gave an embarrassed smile. "You went to Apex Engineering University's School of Architecture too?"

"Yeah, I'm from Apex Engineering University, graduated two years after you," Augus said, half-jokingly, half-seriously asking her, "You weren't one of Zachary's protégés, were you?"

Sophia nodded lightly. "Yeah, he used to be our homeroom teacher."

Augus couldn't help but laugh. "Well, guess it's a small world after all."

"Zachary was just talking about you the other day, about how you wowed the whole School of Architecture with your work as a freshman, but he didn't mention your name. Had no idea it was you," Augus added. "If Zachary knew we were on the same team now, he'd be over the moon."

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone, sidling up to Sophia. "Sophia, let's take a selfie. I'll send it to Zachary later, he'll be thrilled."

Sophia glanced at him, hesitantly nodded, and was just about to pose when a hand suddenly reached from the side and snatched the phone Augus was holding aloft.

"What's with taking photos during work hours?"

A calm voice.
