Sophia couldn't bring herself to look him straight in the eyes, her gaze slightly off-center.

Hannah had already called out to her, "Sophia, cjoin us for a bite."

Sophia awkwardly shook her head, "No thanks, I've got plans with a friend."

Her phone was practically itching to be used in her hand as she contemplated whether to give Ivan a ring and tell him to ditch.

She wasn't keen on witnessing Brandon's blind date.

There was a difference between knowing about it and seeing it with your own eyes.

Before she could actually make the call, Ivan's call popped up on her screen.

Sophia picked up almost reflexively, "Hello?"

"I'm here," said Ivan.

Instinctively, Sophia turned around and spotted Ivan walking in with the hostess towards them.

Brandon also followed Sophia's gaze and looked towards the entrance. His eyes cooled off a bit when he saw Ivan approaching

Sophia.

Don also glanced towards the door and was momentarily at a loss for words when he caught sight of Ivan.

Ivan only noticed Brandon and Don when he was right in front of Sophia.

He was speechless.

Don gave an exasperated smile, not quite sure what to say.

Ivan nodded politely, gave a chilly Brandon a quick glance, then turned back to pull out a chair and sit down opposite Sophia,

asking, "Ordered yet?"

Sophia shook her head slightly, "Not yet."

Ivan handed her the menu, "Take a look, what are you in the mood for?"

"Mhm."

Sophia softly replied, taking the menu.

Maybe it was Brandon's presence, but she felt all tied up in knots, her mind a bit sluggish. She was just going with the flow of

Ivan's lead, totally forgetting she was the one who owed him a favor.

Brandon's gaze turned frosty.

Hannah had been watching his reaction closely.

"When did you and Sophia tie the knot?" she hesitated to ask, a question that had puzzled her for two years.

It was two years ago when Sophia clooking for Brandon at the office that she learned they were married. Not long after, Susan

spilled the beans that they'd split up.

Brandon shot her a glance but didn't answer her question.

"Still at the Starlight Group?" he steered the conversation elsewhere.

Hannah chuckled, "You didn't notice I've been gone for two years?"

"Sorry, been swamped."

In the midst of talking, his gaze drifted back to Sophia outside.

Sophia had just finished ordering, handing the menu back to Ivan with a shy, restrained smile, eyes firmly fixed elsewhere.

Hannah couldn't help but glance outside at Sophia, then back at Brandon.

Brandon had returned to his calm demeanor, so inscrutable that she couldn't guess what was on his mind.

She continued the earlier topic with a smile, "I got transferred overseas."

"Right."

Brandon responded nonchalantly, not really all that interested.

With so many people in the company, unless they were high-level executives he personally appointed, he didn't really keep track

of staff movements.

Even though Hannah expected this, she couldn't help feeling a tad disappointed to find out he genuinely had no clue.

"I didn't want to leave West district," Hannah said with a laugh, hinting, "I thought since we were high school buddies, | could ask

for a favor, but you were too busy to meet, and my request got bounced back."

Brandon paused mid-sip, vaguely recalling something of the sort.

"Sorry, | never interfere with subordinates' assignments," Brandon said, slowly setting down his teacup.

Still smiling, Hannah prodded, "Then what about Susan's project? How cyou made an exception there?"
