Chapter 19
In the office, Kent couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Brandon in the inner office now and then.
After looking over at him, he couldn’t resist giving Susan the once over, his eyes scrutinizing her until she got ticked off, “What’s up?”
She was still miffed about running into him earlier and his incessant babbling.
Kent shot back, not in the best mood either. “You sure know how to backdoor your way in with finesse.”
“That’s got nothing to do with me. I didn’t dare dream of sneaking through your boss’s backdoor He’s the one who came to me asking for the papers
Susan found it odd recalling how Brandon reacted when she mentioned Sophia earlier, not at all like he was indifferent about Sophia.

Kent glanced at her, “Why the nosiness?
“Just curious
She leaned in closer again, “Come on, spill it.

“But, Kent eyed her, you sure have a knack for picking your moments. Mr. Crawley never used to give anyone special

Susan said. Not even Sophia?

Susan drew out her voice in disbelief, Pssh
“Don’t be so quick to dismiss it. Didn’t you notice? The moment you brought up Sophia, his attitude shifted
Susan scoffed at him, “That’s not a change in attitude. It just shows your boss is still sore about being dumped by Sophia and can’t get over the blow to his ego.”
