Chapter 135: Syndicate [2]

Clank—!

Stepping out of the apartment room, Brandon fixed up his collar.

His hair was well groomed as he adorned his signature white blazer.

It was a little over 7:34 PM.

His meeting with Zed was scheduled for 7:30 PM.

Why was he late?

Just to spite him.

"...?"

And just around the same time he left the room, Rachel seemed to have just arrived home.

For some reason, she averted her gaze from him. Yet at the same time, it seemed like she wanted to say something.

And that she did as she spoke in an awkward tone.

"...Brandon."

"Yes?"

He tilted his head.

"Just got home?"

"...Yes."

"Well, go in now. I'll be going somewhere."

"Okay…"

The conversation was brief. Nodding his head Brandon walked ahead and left.

***

How heartless.

Rachel stared at his departing back with a conflicted expression.
