"Set up."
The man who usually wore a gentle smile was now filled with deep anger.
"Who?" Brandan's expression turned serious as he asked slowly, "In River City? Want me to back you up?"
"..."
Alex remained silent.
Brandan sat across from him, leaning back on the sofa, watching him.
"Sophia Sutton?"
When Alex heard this name, he tensed up completely, then instinctively said, "This is between her and me, don't interfere."
Brandan's eyes grew gradually dark and cold as he looked at Alex's pale face, saying coldly, "She did this to you, and you want me to just leave it? What kind of friend would I be then?"
"... It's not her fault." Alex lowered his head and said softly, "It's my own problem. You once advised me not to play with fire... but now, I've set myself ablaze."
Brandan looked at him, slightly furrowing his brow.
"You..."
"Maybe it's a bit ridiculous," Alex's handsome face showed a trace of a bitter smile, "I might have developed some feelings for her."
"..."
