The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 495

When the elevator doors slid shut, neither Sophia nor Brandon uttered a word.

But Sophia couldn't help but sneak a glance toward Augus, her expression pensive.

Brandon, standing right by her side, didn't miss her reaction.

Thrice now, in just a few minutes, her gaze had landed on that guy for the third time.

Brandon had some recollection of Augus.

Though they'd never interacted, he remembered the name—Augus.

Back on the ribbon-cutting day at Star·Dempsey Architects, Augus had made a beeline to chitchat with Sophia.

According to Kent's spiel at the time, this Augus dude graduated from the same uni as Sophia, under the same mentor. Just got his master's, currently a junior designer in the design department, a sharp cookie with fresh ideas. The guy was known to be a design whiz, witty and humorous, easygoing and chatty, high EQ, a hopeless romantic. Back in college, he was quite the big man on campus, the kind of guy girls go gaga over.

He also had that dashing, sunny-boy vibe, oozing youthful zest.

Both in personality and looks, he ticked all the boxes of Sophia's so-called 'complementary type.'

That's exactly the kind she was after.

Initially, Brandon had scoped out this guy a few times, but seeing as Sophia never seemed all that focused on him, he gradually let Augus slip his mind.

But today.

Brandon's gaze slowly shifted to Sophia's profile.

The elevator doors were long closed, and she couldn't see the guy outside anymore, but she still had that deep-in-thought look, as if she was lost in her own world, completely oblivious to his presence.

Brandon couldn't help but cough lightly to get her attention again.

Sophia snapped back to reality and gave him a glance.

"You said before you were looking for a complementary type, like him?" Brandon asked casually, his voice light.

Sophia looked surprised, as if she hadn't really pondered that question.

"Cheerful, funny, and romantic," Brandon listed off, echoing Kent's description of Augus's good points and looking at Sophia. "Isn't that the kind of complementarity you mentioned?"

Sophia nodded, "Seems like it."
