Chapter 64 A Call From Victor's Mother
Chapter 64 A Call From Victor's Mother
Victor thought Sophia was looking out of the window, but actually she was looking at the side face reflected by him. He had a straight nose, a delicate jaw, thick hair, and that thin lips...
It was said that a man with thin lips was heartless. What about him? If he said that the contract had nothing to do with Teresa, then how could it be possible?!
Now that Teresa was back, they might be engaged soon. Would the three-year contract between him and her end in advance before three years?
If he was to choose between her and Teresa, the normal man would choose Teresa.
Teresa had studied abroad before and was a scholar. She looked sweet and beautiful, and she would act like a spoiled child. What's more, An family was also a big family, with countless companies under it and Xiao family was equal to it. It was said that their parents had a good relationship...
As for her, she was nobody but her father who used her as a tool, sent her to a strange man's bed, and her stepmother and sister who always went against her. She got nothing but these.
The relationship between them was nothing but a contract from the beginning of their bodies. As long as Victor got tired of it, it could be canceled at any time.
Now she even didn't have the qualification to compete with Teresa, even if she wanted to ask Victor to stay.
Sophia felt bitter in her heart. It was the first time that she felt that God was unfair to her. This feeling was so strong, even when she caught Peter in bed, it was not as strong as it was now.
If, if she was not his illegitimate daughter, if she met Victor earlier, would they have more chances to be together?
Her eyes had already filled with tears. Sophia tried her best to hold them back and hold them back.
Seeing the expression on Sophia's face, he understood that it was because of Teresa. Seeing that their relationship had just become better, because of Teresa that their relationship had reached a deadlock again, the man frowned.
The engagement between Teresa and him was made by her mother's own decision. Their families were bonded over generations and were normally closely connected. Many interests were tied up. Most of the elders wanted to be related by marriage, but they didn't even ask for his advice. After coming back from a foreign school, Victor knew that his mother was now invalid, but he was punished by his mother.
Later, in order to get rid of the parents of the two families, Victor started his own business. He didn't want to have anything to do with An family. He didn't have any special feelings for Teresa and just treated her as his sister.
He didn't want to tell Sophia before Teresa came here, because he was afraid that Sophia would misunderstand it. But now, Victor felt it necessary to explain.
"This morning I..."
Sophia was surprised that the man started to talk. When she was about to listen to it, Victor's phone rang. She caught a glimpse of it and saw the name "Mom" on the screen.
"Hello?" Victor's voice was stiff.
At this time, Victor's mother, Grace Nie, was wearing the latest popular suit. She was on the phone with her son on the sofa. There was a woman sitting in front of her, who was also dressed in expensive clothes.
"Did you see Teresa?" Grace Nie asked. While they were talking, they exchanged glances with the woman sitting opposite.
"Yes." "Okay.".
"That's good. Teresa is a girl and she just came back from abroad. Please take care of her."
"Yes, I know." Victor asked impatiently.
"There is one more thing. You take Teresa home for dinner tomorrow night. Your aunt and uncle are here. Let's have dinner together."
Grace Nie knew that her son wasn't willing to get married to this woman, and he even started his own business. So she hung up the phone before Victor replied. She didn't give him any chance to refuse her.
After Grace Nie hung up the phone, the woman asked with a smile, "how's it going? Did Victor agree? "
When Grace Nie picked up the tea cup and took a sip, she slowly replied, "I've told him that he will take Teresa back for dinner on time!"
"That's good, that's good. Victor is always busy with his work. Wouldn't Teresa bother him too much when she was there?" This woman was Connie Meng, Teresa's mother, and the wife of the chairman of the An Group, and also a friend of Grace Nie.
Grace Nie patted Connie Meng's hand and said, "no matter how busy they are, they have to cultivate feelings for each other. The two of them are not young. It's time for them to talk about marriage and settle down! I watch Teresa grow up. No matter what will happen in the future, she is always my daughter-in-law! "
Connie Meng laughed loudly, "it seems that our family has a closer relationship. I have to call you groom's mother!"
"Yes..." Said Grace Nie with a smile.
The expression on Victor's face was not good since he hung up the phone. He looked more grim with a tough face, and he was giving off a cold air. He threw the phone on the back seat casually.
Sophia didn't hear the specific content of his conversation. Noticing Victor's expression, she asked curiously, "what's wrong with you? What happened? "
Victor glanced at Sophia with a complicated look in his eyes, but he didn't tell her the truth.
"Nothing. It's just something about work."
Sophia knew it was a call from Victor's mother. But the man didn't tell her. Did she have anything to do with the call? Sophia guessed.
"What did you just say?" Sophia questioned. Before answering the phone, Victor took a word and it was all over. She had thought...
After a short pause, Victor replied, "nothing."
Sophia felt a little upset in her heart. She laughed at herself and felt flattered. How could a man like Victor explain to her? Teresa was Victor's fiancee. He didn't need to report their affairs to her? What was she still expecting?!
The mixed feelings in Sophia's heart but she seemed indifferent. "Will I disturb you and Miss Teresa during these two days if I am here? How about I move out? "
Her indifferent tone irritated Victor, making him even more agitated.
He snorted, "move out? Go back to your own home? Your ex boyfriend has already become your brother-in-law. If you want to see them show off their love, just go back! "
Enraged by the ironic tone of Victor, Sophia couldn't help but speak out, "yes! I have nowhere to go! That's why I stay at your home and watch you flirt with other women! But I have my self-esteem. If you are with someone else, I will never stay with you! "
"Where do you want to leave me?" The man's cold voice was slightly raised. It could be heard that he was suppressing his anger.
Caught off guard, Victor paid no attention to her words. Sophia thought that this man had acquiesced in the marriage with Teresa, which sent a chill to her heart.
"No matter where I go, I won't be your underground mistress. I will pay you back the money I owe you slowly!"
"Give me back the money? What reward? Moaning under another man's body? !" He looked at Sophia, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
Sophia pictured of "bullied" on the sofa last night flashed back in her mind, and her face flushed with shyness and anger. If Victor said such words, it meant that he was insulting her!
The car arrived at the gate. Before Victor was parked steadily, Sophia got off the car with her handbag.
Seeing the receding figure of the woman, a trace of coldness and indifference appeared on Victor's handsome face.
When Sophia arrived at the company, she trotted towards it. She greeted her colleagues and nodded in a hurry. She felt wronged and unwilling and could only tell Victor everything, but she couldn't tolerate that because of her self-esteem.
After locked herself in the office in the morning, Sophia focused on her work. Only in this way could she get rid of that man and his fiancee.
If Sophia had any important documents, just bring them to Leon and ask him to send them to Victor's office by the way.
The air of gossiping spread among the crowd. Since Leon didn't attend the conference last night and didn't know about the thing about Teresa, Leon blinked to Sophia cautiously and asked, "did you have a fight with Mr. Victor?"
Embarrassed, Sophia said, "No. I just asked you to drop it there."
Leon curled up his lips. His office was far from the CEO's. So Sophia didn't have to go in this way? It was so easy to find that Sophia sounded so strange.
However, he didn't expose her lie. Instead, he said meaningfully, "men need to be cajoled sometimes. If you don't take the initiative to seize some people, you may never have a chance."
Leon was not only sharp tongued, but also vicious in his eyes. He had a good understanding between Sophia and Victor, and he didn't debunk it.
Sophia felt more embarrassed. She said a few words and then left in a hurry. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
At noon, Jay showed up in a showy pink suit. His ruffian eyes and sculptural face made the female employees excited again.
Different from Victor, both of them were good-looking. But Jay was more handsome, which made people get closer to him.
At this time, Jay was chatting with the receptionists at the reception desk the YS Group. The ladies were all talked about and revealed all the secrets of the YS Group to the public.
"Does your Mr. Victor have any usual gossips?" Said Jay with a mischievous smile.
"Mr. Victor and Miss Rita have been on the entertainment headlines. Miss Rita often comes to our company."
Raising his eyebrows, Jay continued to gossip, "what's the relationship between Mr. Victor and Sophia? Did he treat Sophia differently? "
A female employee said quickly, "assistant Sophia always keeps a low profile at the company. It seems that Mr. Victor... They always had conflicts! There was a quarrel between Sophia and Miss Rita. Mr. Victor even embarrassed Sophia in front of everyone. "
Another employee added, "but Sophia is really a beauty. Even Mr. Jeremy sent flowers to her before."
"Really?" Jay touched his chin in surprise. After a while, he chuckled and asked, "what floor is Sophia's office on?"
The ladies were attracted by his smile again and wanted to tell him. Jay thanked them and went upstairs to get Sophia.
