The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 358

Brandon didn't give a hoot about the looks he was getting from everyone; after giving his instructions, he walked out with a poker face.

The office, which had been as quiet as a mouse, suddenly exploded into a flurry of activity, with everyone craning their necks to sneak a peek at the boss's daughter.

Brandon's office door was left ajar, and there was Theresa, sitting on the couch braiding a mannequin head's hair, her pretty little face the picture of concentration.

"Wow, she's gorgeous, absolutely adorable." Someone blurted out first, "That girl really hit the jackpot in the reincarnation lottery."

"Who's Mr. Crawley's wife?" Others chimed in with envy, "Talk about living the dream! A hubby who's both a looker and loaded, and a daughter with off-the-charts cuteness."

"Seriously, she must've saved more than just the galaxy in her past life."

The buzzing chatter had Theresa, who was diligently braiding hair, glancing towards the door in confusion. When she looked up and saw all people outside staring at her with curiosity, she was momentarily taken aback, and her braiding slowed to a halt.

"Hey there, kiddo," the assistant closest to the door was the first to wave and greet her.

Theresa waved back, still a bit dazed, but managed to greet politely in a soft voice, "Hello, Miss."

Her adorable response had everyone melting, totally smitten, but since she was the boss's kid, no one dared to come over and fuss over her.

Kent cleared his throat, interrupting everyone's ogling, "Aren't you supposed to be working? Guess it's been too long since you've been put in your place, huh?"

The onlookers scattered like birds at the sound.

Theresa looked on, even more puzzled and clueless, not understanding why everyone was making such a fuss over her.

Kent didn't bother explaining, and just cooed to her, "Keep on playing, Theresa, and if you need anything, just holler for me."

"Okay."

Her response was just as sweet and obedient as ever, and she went back to focusing on her task at hand.
