The two had been drinking for a while when Brandan Hyde glanced at the time and said, "I should get going."
Alex Hawk choked on his drink: "Cough cough... How long have you been out?"
Brandan was already standing up to grab his suit: "She hasn't had dinner... I need to keep an eye on her." He patted his friend on the shoulder and said, "I'll drink with you next time. I'm leaving now."
Alex looked at him speechlessly, "You're hopeless..."
So, he was just here as a garbage bin for Brandan to vent about his ill-tempered girlfriend?
Brandan chuckled, "I'm off."
Brandan left, but Alex wasn't planning to head back.
After coming out, how could he not fully enjoy himself?
He took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts, saw a name, and called Sophia Sutton with a slight smile.
The call was answered after a long wait: "...Hello?"
"Where are you? Come keep me company."
His tone was lazy.
"I'm on a mission," Sophia's voice was low, "I don't have time right now—"
