Chapter 670
Brandon's call snapped Lynn out of her gossip-fueled trance. She looked up, only to find Sophia and Theresa were nowhere to be seen, and she immediately
freaked out: "I... they..."
Brandon's heart sank, his voice taking on a stern edge: "Weren't you supposed to stick with them?"
"I... I was with them, they were just here a second ago, I don't know..."
Lynn started to lose her composure.
"Where are you now?"
Brandon cut her off with his cool composure.
Lynn: "At... at the entrance to the cafeteria..."
Brandon hung up abruptly and pressed the button for the basement level one elevator.
After Brandon hung up the phone, Lynn quickly opened WhatsApp to call Sophia, only then seeing the message Sophia had left her in the cafeteria. She quickly backed out and dialed Brandon to update him on the situation.
Before the call could even connect, the elevator doors opened. Brandon strode out of the elevator, his face set in a stern mask. "Mr. Crawley, Ms. Yearwood says they're in the cafeteria."
Lynn hurried over and showed Brandon the message from Sophia. Brandon glanced at it, visibly relaxing a bit in his chiseled features. Without a word, he
took long strides towards the cafeteria.
Faced with Daniel's slowly emerging suspicion, "You're not Sophia, are you?" Sophia frowned but didn't answer him directly. Instead, she politely asked: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
After speaking, she apologetically explained, "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten some things."
"Forgotten again?"
The puzzlement in Daniel's eyes deepened. He gave Sophia a once-over, half- doubting her story, somewhat suspicious that the Sophia before him might be an imposter.
After all, the odds of surviving a fall from such a height in such cold weather were slim to none, and with a billion-dollar reward on the line, there had been no word for months until she suddenly reappeared, conveniently amnesiac. He couldn't help but be skeptical.
Sophia didn't overlook the doubt in his gaze and didn't waste any more time chatting with him. She nodded apologetically, scooped up Theresa, and headed to get some food.
Theresa, too, glanced back at Daniel curiously before turning her attention to the food service window, where she briskly ordered several dishes for Brandon and one each for herself and Sophia.
When it came time to pay, Sophia instinctively pulled out her phone for a QR code payment, only to realize there wasn't one. She frowned in confusion and looked around, but saw nothing.
The cafeteria lady, noticing her puzzled look, asked: "Hello, you're not an employee here, are you?"
Sophia, unsure if she counted, looked towards her awkwardly: "Is the cafeteria only for company employees?"
"Yes."
The cafeteria lady nodded, "We have a special employee meal card for transactions."
Sophia: "..."
She glanced awkwardly at the trays on the table and in her hands. It's not like she could just put the food back.
"Use my card."
Daniel's voice sounded just as he reached out with his meal card, ready to swipe
it for Sophia.
"No, no need."
Sophia instinctively grabbed his card to stop him.
Daniel's vibe was too conflicting for her comfort.

But even though he had seemed suspicious of her just moments ago, Daniel was now exceptionally kind and gentle, saying "Don't mention it" as he tried to pull his card back from Sophia's grip to swipe it. Suddenly, a hand reached from behind him and snatched the card away. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"That won't be necessary."
Brandon's voice followed.
Sophia looked up in surprise.

card on the card reader, and with a 'beep, Brandon had picked up the two meals from the table, turning to Sophia and Theresa: "Let's go." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read
