The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 448

Don had just stepped out of the office and, looking up, spotted Martin gazing at Sophia's retreating figure. Puzzled, he greeted him, "Martin, what brings you here?"

Martin turned around at the sound and saw Don approaching.

"Just here to discuss the kickoff of the project," Martin said.

"How's the talk going?" Don asked.

"Pretty much settled. It's just that..."

Martin glanced in the direction Sophia had gone, then back at Don.

Don got the hint and quickly threw his hands up in surrender, "Don't look at me. I can't meddle in this."

"Aren't you her boss?" Martin grumbled.

"What's the use of being a boss? Sophia doesn't need another boss breathing down her neck; it's us bosses who need talents like her." Don said, glancing at him, "Like you, out of all the designers you could have picked, you had to go for her. Doesn't that say something?"

Martin just gave him a look and said nothing.

Don slung an arm over his shoulder, "Come on, let's grab some grub."

Martin was inclined to say no, but considering the tense vibe at home lately thanks to Marian, he swallowed the refusal.

"Let's go."

With that, he shook off Don's hand and headed for the elevator first. Don hurried to keep up.

The elevator quickly descended to the ground floor. To Don's surprise, Sophia was still in the lobby, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Sophia?" Don called out.

Sophia turned at the sound and saw it was Don, politely greeting him, "Mr. Dempsey."

"Waiting for someone? Not off yet?" Don asked with a smile.

Sophia nodded gently, "Yeah."

She was indeed waiting for someone - Brandon and Theresa.

She had promised Theresa a shopping spree tonight and Brandon had gone ahead to pick her up.
