Brandon Piers saw Abigail and Benjamin Jones standing together from a distance; displeasure flashed in his eyes. His mind conjured the photograph Pullan sent from the Smith family. Though the two of them displayed no overt intimacy, they seemed particularly well-matched and harmonious. Seeing that they were both dressed in black, Benjamin in a black suit and Abigail in a black, slightly formal dress, it appeared as if they were wearing couple's outfits.
Brandon glanced at his own silver suit and felt a pang of displeasure.
Brandon's not-so-great mood focused on Abigail, and the thinly veiled coldness in his gaze made Abigail hesitate. She had been about to approach him after several days apart.
Their eyes met, and unspoken emotions clashed in the air between them.
Oblivious reporters nearby frantically took photos, interpreting the scene as a moment of deep, mutual affection.
