"Ah, so you're her cousin." Though Caspian Rhodes was slightly exasperated, his expression betrayed nothing. "Mr. Jennings. I'm Caspian Rhodes, a friend of Serena's."
The moment Brandon Jennings heard Caspian Rhodes, he felt like he'd swallowed a stick of dynamite. He was so furious he felt like he could breathe fire at any second.
'Cousin? Who's he calling cousin? And "Serena"? He says it so intimately. Are you two even that close? Hah!'
Brandon Jennings was silent for so long that Arabella Donovan couldn't help but give him a little tug.
Brandon Jennings snapped out of it. Considering his cousin was right there, he had to temporarily suppress his apprehension and offer a polite, "Hello."
Seeing the atmosphere grow a little stiff, Arabella Donovan quickly changed the subject. "Mr. Rhodes, did you just say you came to Brynn with Kerr to discuss a partnership?"
"Yes, Kerr from the Aethel Jade Group. The one you know."
