Chapter 47 The Overbearing Man
Half an hour later, Jeremy stopped his car under the YS Group and waited for Sophia quietly.
At the same time, Victor finished his work and wanted to have lunch outside with Sophia. However,
when he got out of the office, Sophia had already gone.
At the sight of the empty seat, a gust of fury emerged in Victor's heart. 'When did she get off work so
early?' He wondered.
Then he returned to his office.
Coincidentally, through the window of Victor's office, Victor happened to see Sophia had a conversation
with Jeremy downstairs. Then Sophia got on Jeremy's car
At the same time, his phone rang again and he took it.
"Boss, we have checked it out. It was Jeremy, the CEO of the Mu Group, who stayed with Sophia that
night in the hotel."
He added in a louder tone, "are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Got it."
Victor hung up the phone angrily. There was no emotion in his voice.
He narrowed his eyes and thought, 'How dare she do such a thing behind my back? She is so bold.'!
Then, Jeremy drove away.
Victor stared coldly at Jeremy's car leaving. The flames of fury surged in Victor's heart as if he could
light the entire the YS Group's building. With a bang, Victor clenched his fists and threw them towards
the window made of steel.
Suddenly, the hand of Victor was red and swollen.
This woman always did something improper!
"Mr. Jeremy, why do you invite me to dinner today?" Sitting on the front passenger seat, Sophia turned
to Jeremy who was driving carefully.
"You're so pretty, and there must be a row of people who want to invite you to dinner," Looking at
Sophia next to him, Jeremy felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Sophia gave a flattering smile and said, "I'm flattered. No one really stands out to treat me to dinner."
"There is one now." Jeremy said seriously.
It never occurred to her that the man next to her would say something like this. Sophia was somewhat
perplexed, but soon she felt relieved, taking Jeremy as a joke.
"Are you rich people always coaxing girls like this? But I'm not a little girl anymore." Said Sophia,
pretending not to be offended.
Jeremy stopped the car and said sincerely, "maybe other people did so, but I didn't." Jeremy looked at
Sophia. It was too hard for Sophia to ignore.
"You may not believe me. I feel familiar and relieved at the first sight of you. I said it once in the bar that
day. I'll say it again now. And it has been effective. "
Jeremy made her absent-minded when Sophia saw such a serious Jeremy.
In fact, Jeremy also gave her the same feeling, but it didn't represent anything. They were just
congenial to each other. All was lingering on Sophia's mind.
Neither of them spoke again, and there was no more movement on their hands. It seemed that time
had stopped. It was not until the car behind them honked that the two pulled their thoughts back.
Sophia reminded Jeremy to start the car.
"Mr. Jeremy..." She called Jeremy in a shy voice. Since she knew Jeremy's identity, she felt a little
uncomfortable.
"Can you just call me by my name? I'm Jeremy." Jeremy frowned as he felt a little uncomfortable to be
called like this.
He didn't like people he cared to call him like this, which would give each other a sense of distance.
Jeremy wanted to get along well with Sophia.
Sophia accepted it. And she was not a hypocritical woman.
"May I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead. I will tell you everything I know."
Sophia wanted to ask the question. But it sounded a little bold.
After a long while, she asked in a nervous tone, "Jeremy, did anything happen between us that night?"
Hearing this, Jeremy got excited and asked, "do you want something happen?"
"Sure enough, I don't like to talk to you guys. You always like to go round and round on one question."
Said Sophia unhappily.
Jeremy did it, and so did Victor. Was this the way the rich talked?
Feeling that there was something wrong with Sophia, Jeremy easily said, "don't worry. Nothing had
happened. I'm a gentleman. My name is Jeremy!" And he was trying to sell himself again.
Hearing this, Sophia was relieved. She could breathe a sigh of relief.
And the way Jeremy spoke was very interesting. Suddenly, she was amused by him and giggled.
"Okay, thank you, Jeremy." Said Sophia earnestly.
Only a handful of people were capable of being such a gentleman.
Jeremy nodded and thought, 'what an innocent woman! If she had met someone else other than me
that night, things would not have been as simple as it is now...'
"By the way, I have something to ask you." Jeremy said after a pause.
"What?" Sophia looked at scenery outside the window, she looked at Jeremy and let him continue.
"What's your relationship with Victor? You are not just boss and subordinate, are you?" Jeremy looked
into the distance and found that they were in the bar last time. He couldn't believe that Victor had a fight
with an assistant. Things were not as simple as they seemed.
Hearing this question, a bitter smile appeared on Sophia's face.
What was their relationship? They seemingly had a relationship between the CEO and his assistant,
but in fact, they were only a bed partner that was maintained through a contract...
She had no choice but to answer this question since it was asked. "It's the relationship you saw."
Sophia gave him a simple answer. It was complicated between them. Besides, she didn't need anyone
to understand them. Now that she had chosen this path, she didn't need to have any comment.
No one in the world could really experience the same thing, but they just repeatedly exposed their
scars.
Jeremy was also a man of clear mind. He didn't ask any more questions when he heard this.
Silence returned to the car.
Just then, Sophia's phone rang again. Seeing the name of Victor flashing on the screen, the woman
frowned. It was not a good time to call at this time.
Just as she expected, there was a cold voice from the other end of the phone. It was from Victor.
"Now, go back to the company."
Victor said in an emotionless tone.
Wearing an unhappy look, Sophia glanced at Jeremy who was driving attentively next to her and
asked, "is there anything I need to deal with in the company?"
On the other side, Victor heard Sophia's question and obviously felt her expression. The more
resistance, the more problems she got. Victor was forced to say, "no, but come back now!"
"I won't go back. I have finished my work." Sophia refused the man on the other end of the phone
calmly and firmly.
"You must come back now. Sophia. Don't challenge my patience. Don't let me repeat the same
sentence," Victor said.
Victor was so inexperienced.
The changes of his moods had never been explained reasonably, just like the weather in the summer
evening, which could be triggered at any time. But sometimes he was really nice to her, like the sky
after a thunder.
But now she had something else to do. Victor was a man of his word. He could do whatever he wanted
to do. Why couldn't he allow her to take a rest during her spare time?
What an inexplicable man!
Sophia couldn't tolerate Victor's overbearing personality. She protested, "no, I don't want to go back. It's
off duty break, so please don't waste your breath."
If Sophia in front of Victor, he would do anything to make this woman beg for mercy!
He began to doubt if he had been too nice to Sophia recently. So good that she thought she could
break the rules as she liked, so good that she no longer obeyed his orders?
"Sophia, you are my bed partner. You have the obligation to keep my call on call!"
"Beep -"
The message read busy from Sophia.
Victor was so angry that he threw his phone on the ground.
"What's wrong? Is there something urgent in the company?"
Seeing Sophia's look on her face after she hung up the phone, Jeremy asked worriedly.
"Never mind. I just want to live my own life." Sophia's eyes became red. She turned to look out of the
window.
