Chapter 52 An Invitation From Jeremy
Chapter 52 An Invitation From Jeremy
The light was dim in the room. Sophia could vaguely see the light on the phone screen.
——It was a call from Jeremy.
Perhaps it was because she had a sound sleep or her phone ringtone was too small, she didn't receive Jeremy's call and was immersed in her dream.
On the other side, Jeremy had not received any call. He frowned and flipped his phone before he put it back to his pocket.
He called in his secretary and asked, "do I have any appointment in the afternoon and evening?"
The secretary pushed his glasses frame and looked through the calendar in his coat pocket.
"There's a remote meeting half an hour later, and you need to attend a work party in the evening..."
"Well, I have something to do outside. Cancel all the arrangements from the beginning to the evening."
Without hesitation, Jeremy took up his customized suit jacket from the back of the chair and was about to walk out.
The secretary behind him shouted, "but Mr. Jeremy, it's not appropriate to cancel these things..."
Looking at Jeremy's receding figure, the secretary was nervous but held back the following words.
Perhaps it was because Sophia was too busy to notice the contents on her phone. Jeremy thought. Jeremy was a little anxious and impatient to go to the YS Group to search for Sophia like this, but he couldn't control himself any longer. He wanted to find the woman immediately who affected his heart at this moment.
A dozen minutes later.
Jeremy was already in the first floor hall of the YS Group.
The girls at the front desk saw this young and handsome man and whispered.
"Really? Who is he? Why haven't I seen him before? "
"Oh, he looks familiar. I think I have seen him somewhere..."
Another girl cut in and said, "the CEO of the Mu Group, Jeremy! You don't even know this... "
The girls suddenly realized.
Instead, there was admiration in their eyes. How much they hoped that this handsome and rich man could pay more attention to them.
Jeremy lowered his head and took out his phone. However, he didn't get what he wanted. He felt frustrated.
But when he remembered that he was going to see the girl he had been missing, he put his phone back to where it had been.
Jeremy came to Sophia's floor directly.
Although Sophia didn't tell him about her work, he knew that most of her work was abroad.
However, Jeremy didn't see the woman in his mind as he expected.
He met the YS Group's CEO - Victor.
"Mr. Jeremy, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I can have someone make arrangement for you."
It was Victor's usual polite formula in business, but now he said it without any emotion.
Aware that the man in front of him was not sincere, Jeremy didn't intend to beat around the bush with him, so he spoke out his purpose.
"Nothing important. I have something to talk to Sophia."
In fact, when Victor saw that Jeremy came to the company and didn't tell him in advance, he almost guessed it. But he didn't expect that Jeremy would be so frank to tell him directly.
But Victor was still angry.
"Really? You were not in good time when you came here. Miss. Sophia is off today. She doesn't come to work today. "
Victor looked at Jeremy up and down. If Victor didn't have any special feelings for the man, who was also an enemy and friend to him in the past, but now Victor felt disgusted with the man in front of him, who was also in the business world.
Victor paused and continued, "I wonder if you need me to know why you are looking for Sophia? Is it some business secret? "
After saying the last sentence, Victor let out a laugh with a pretended sense of humor. He looked straight into Jeremy's eyes, but they were deep and unfathomable.
"Mr. Victor, you are thinking too much. The reason why I'm here in person is that I want to invite Miss Sophia to attend an industry exchanging meeting with me as my dancing partner."
Not to be outdone, Jeremy answered in an awkward tone.
"Mr. Jeremy, do you mean the industry exchanging meeting will be held in a week? I happened to be there. "
"I'm afraid I'll let Mr. Jeremy down. Sophia won't go," Victor added.
Hearing this, Jeremy didn't get angry. Instead, he didn't think it was a big deal. He said disapprovingly, "since Miss Sophia isn't here, it's up to her whether to go or not."
"Jeremy, you should reflect on your surname. As the CEO of the Mu Group, you clench the YS Group's female employees every day. It won't be good if the news spreads out."
Victor was giving a warning with a cold look.
With a smile on his face, Jeremy said, "Miss Sophia is an excellent woman, and a lot of men love her. Although I'm a member of the Mu Group, I can't resist her charm. I'm willing to do anything for her, because I'm willing to be with her and I'm willing to do everything for her."
Jeremy prolonged the sound on purpose and continued, "I am very happy."
In the past, it was said that the CEO of the YS Group didn't eat salt or oil, neither did Victor stick to carrot or stick, and he didn't have any weakness. Now, Jeremy had got the man's weakness, which was Sophia.
At first, Victor was nice to Jeremy, but Victor didn't expect that the man would be so obsessed to his woman.
There were two reasons why Jeremy showed his love so obviously. One was that he really loved Sophia; the other was that he just did it on purpose. His real intention was unknown yet, but as an influential man in the Mu Group, he was able to play those dirty tricks calmly.
"Like the last time, I hope you don't covet the woman who doesn't belong to you."
Jeremy had thought that Victor had never been so serious to a woman before. Jeremy was surprised, but then he understood.
But Jeremy wouldn't give up. Instead, he would try his best to fight for her
Jeremy took a look at his watch and didn't expose his temper. Instead, he said politely, "well, since Miss Sophia is not here, I'll come to her next time."
Jeremy turned around and was about to leave.
After a while, he seemed to think of something and turned to strike back at Mr. Victor, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Victor. It's normal for us to have sex."
Then he left the YS Group in a good mood without looking askance.
Thinking of what had happened just now, Victor wasn't satisfied.
From the appearance, Jeremy was known as a gentle man. People called him by his name, which made him a real gentleman. In fact, he had another nickname that most people didn't know, which was a smiling tiger. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
After that, Victor went back to his office. Thinking of what had happened just now, he couldn't help but smell the danger.
Sophia couldn't set his mind at rest?!
Sophia suddenly woke up from her dream, like hearing a call. She looked around, her eyes half closed.
To give Sophia a comfortable sleep, Zelda put down the curtains of her room. The thick grey curtains prevented the dazzling sunlight.
The sunlight was falling through the cracks between them.
Sophia open the curtains.
The light became mild. Occasionally, a thin sound was heard, but it became more pleasing to the ear.
Hearing the sound in the room, Zelda knocked on the door gently.
With Sophia's permission, she pushed the door open and came in.
"Hi, Miss Sophia. How are you doing? How are you feeling?"
Hearing Zelda's concerned tone, Sophia felt warm.
She replied softly, "I had a good sleep and felt much better now."
Sophia stretched herself and said, "maybe it's because I've slept for a long time and I'm in a good mood, so I feel weak after a long sleep. Hahaha..."
Suddenly, she burst into laughter.
Seeing her like this, Zelda's dangling heart was finally relieved.
She didn't expect herself to be this relaxed. Maybe it was because she had so many things to worry about before that she was under too much pressure.
"Oh, right! I made you a bowl of white fungus soup this afternoon, but I didn't wake you up when I found you were sleeping soundly. I'll heat it up again and bring it to you. "
Then Zelda took the bowl of white fungus soup from the bedside, turned around and walked out of the room.
All sorts of feelings welled up in Sophia's mind when she saw this.
She didn't expect that it was just because she was out of control, which caused two old people to worry about her for so long.
A few minutes later, Zelda's voice came from the door.
"Miss Sophia, the white fungus soup is ready. I have made some desserts. Do you want to eat in the room or outside?"
Sophia got up, she said gently, "no, I don't need it. Let's go outside."
Sophia was surprised to see a table full of delicate desserts. With a trembling voice, she said, "thank you, Zelda."
"Don't mention it. On the one hand, since Miss Sophia is so close to us, we naturally treat you as our own child. On the other hand, Mr. Victor required us to take good care of you, and pay more attention to your feelings..."
Sophia silent.
After eating, she returned to her room and found her cellphone, which had not been used for almost half a day.
On the screen, there were seven or eight missed calls from Jeremy, and one unread message:
I sincerely invite you to attend the industry exchanging meeting a few days later, as I don't know if it's convenient or not. And as my companion. Reply.
Seeing the message, Sophia was overwhelmed.
Ever since they got to know each other, Jeremy had been in her life all the time. Jeremy's attitude might have been very obvious
She didn't reply to Jeremy, but turned off the phone with mixed feelings.
