The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 92

Outside was a bustling neighborhood, still caught in the thick of rush hour, with people hustling and bustling about.

Yet among the sea of faces on the street, Brandon didn't catch a glimpse of anyone familiar.

With a puzzled furrow between his brows, Brandon walked on, letting his gaze roam through the crowd, but came up with zilch.

His search slowed to a halt, and Brandon stood still, silently watching the throng, his handsome face still shrouded with confusion over the fleeting sight he'd just caught.

Brandon wasn't sure if he'd seen it wrong, that silhouette.

He shifted slightly, scanning the other side of the pedestrian flow, but still found nothing.

In the tranquil alley, Sophia meandered alone, her hand subconsciously gripping her phone, palms slightly sweaty, heart rate ticking up a notch, filled with an inexplicable sense of being lost and clueless.

She hadn't expected to bump into Brandon again, just like that, without any warning.

She'd never thought she'd see him again, and even if she did stumble upon him like she just had, she should've been straightforward and greeted him, not chosen to bolt like she did now.

Sophia didn't know why she was dodging him.

It seemed her body made a choice before her mind could weigh in.

She didn't even have the guts to walk back to that office building now, still not quite mentally adjusted, so when Sylvia called again asking how much longer she'd be, she felt guilty and apologized to Sylvia and Don, saying something came up last minute, and she'd have to reschedule their chat.

Don, being the generous and attentive boss he was, made sure she was just dealing with a minor issue and not in any danger, told her to take care and not to worry about work, and then hung up.

Don stepped outside and saw Brandon standing by the road, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over the passersby, his usually calm and composed face showing a touch of bewilderment, as if searching for someone.

He approached Brandon, puzzled, and clapped him on the shoulder, "What's up? Looking for someone?"

Brandon turned around, his expression back to the cool aloofness Don was familiar with, "Nope."

Don glanced behind him and then at him, "All done with your stuff?"

Don shook his head, "Had to reschedule."

He half-jokingly slapped Brandon on the shoulder, "You came all this way to see me, I can't let you hang, right?"

Brandon promptly pulled his hand away, "Don't flatter yourself. It was just on the way."

Already fishing out his car keys, he headed towards the nearby parking lot.
