Chapter 72
Arrived at the hotel.
Aylen and Marilyn had escorted Sophia to the door of the room.
“Ms. Cruise, you were injured, you should go home and rest first. Mr. Cruise was also worried about you.”
Sophia laughed a little, glancing at her own arm:
“The meeting tomorrow was quite important, so I decided to leave the day after tomorrow. You were to stay for the next two days.”
Originally, Kylan was going to bring her back immediately, but she pleaded and managed to buy herself an extra day.
The itinerary that was originally set, cannot be abandoned halfway.
Aylen responded, “Let’s have dinner sent to your room later.”
“Good.”
Sophia didn’t refuse. After the nervous excitement, she was indeed a bit hungry.
100%
ght a lot of local snacks and brought them back, and
Sophia happened to taste some after taking a bath.
When about to fall asleep. I saw a message from Derick.
“See you tomorrow.”
He had always been a man of few words, which meant he had also arrived.
Sophia didn’t respond, she hung up the phone and prepared to sleep.
***
The next day.
Sophia’s arm was injured, but she was able to cover it up with a neat jacket during the meeting.
She sat in the front row, as the only woman in the front row, she naturally attracted attention.
Pierce was seated on her right side, possibly a position he had arranged on purpose.-
In the conference room.
at her charming and radiant profile, an indescribable emotion in his heart, only feeling increasingly soft.
In the rather serious meeting room, everyone could only hear the speech from the person on the stage.
Pierce, however, was distracted, constantly wanting to turn his head to pay attention to the woman next to him.
Sophia didn’t even blink, ignoring his gaze as if it was nothing, just staring at the person on stage, maintaining a smile.
They all had tea at their hands, but Sophia hadn’t touched hers.
Not long after, Pierce gave a few instructions to the assistant behind him, who quickly brought over a cup of coffee.
Pierce didn’t drink himself, instead he handed it to Sophia.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of the people behind.
They all knew about the relationship between Pierce and Sophia.
It was such a mess online, everyone thought they were at each other’s throats, incompatible as water and fire. Yet, Pierce’s gaze never left Sophia, and now he’s even offering her coffee?
10.197.
After a few seconds of stalemate, she noticed that even the person speaking on stage had slowed down their speech, focusing on them.
Sophia pursed her lips, naturally taking the coffee from Pierce’s hand.
Pierce’s eyes softened a bit in an instant.
Look, how moved she was!
As long as he persisted, she would see his sincerity.
Everyone watched this short gossip for a few minutes, and countless thoughts had already flashed through their minds.
Not long after, there was a break halfway through the meeting.
Many people quickly gathered around Pierce to make small talk.
Sophia took the opportunity to leave.
Derick’s flight was delayed, he handed his luggage to his assistant and went to the venue himself.
As soon as he entered, he glanced around and happened to see Sophia taking medicine in the corner.
