The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 479

Brandon, on the phone, seemed to sense her gaze and slowly turned around.

Their eyes met in the air. Sophia flashed him a smile and pointed to the neatly organized documents beside her, whispering, “All the files are sorted out.”

Brandon nodded slightly and said into the phone, “Got it, I’ll have someone take over soon,” then hung up.

By the time he pocketed his phone, he was already heading towards the desk.

Sophia pointed to another stack of documents she wasn't sure about keeping and explained, “I put these aside because I wasn’t sure if we should keep them or not. You should have a look.”

“Okay.”

Brandon responded, quickly glanced over the “unsure” pile she had separated, and with high efficiency, he relegated them to the reject pile.

While going through the categorized files, he handed Sophia some other documents to deal with.

She didn’t hesitate, taking the files and got busy on her side.

Brandon swiftly reviewed and approved the files Sophia had sorted. When he set down his pen, he looked up at Sophia.

She was deeply engrossed in the paperwork he had given her, her slightly bent head looking soft and serene under the light.

She always carried this unobtrusive, quietly elegant charm, never one for squabbles. Brandon found himself spacing out as he watched her.

When Sophia finally closed the last file and looked up, her eyes accidentally crashed into Brandon's.

He was looking at her, yet not quite. His eyes were as deep as the ocean, and seemingly filled with memories, yet not.

Almost at the moment their gazes locked, his deep eyes stirred, slowly focusing. But Brandon didn’t speak; just silently watched her.

The two sat very close at the same desk, so close they could hear each other's breathing with the slightest movement.

Sophia wanted to look away, but his magnetic eyes held her captive.
