“Hello?”
On the phone, James’ voice was mellow and a little lazy.
Sophia frowned because she could hear the noise around James.
He could even hear the clinking of glasses and the jeering of people.
Sophia was at a loss. She asked, “Are you eating out today?”
“Yes, I’m meeting a few old friends. What’s the matter?” James said casually.
He had just gotten married, so he did not have the habit of reporting his schedule.
Moreover, he was James. He did not need to report to anyone!
Looking at the dishes that she had worked hard for the entire afternoon, Sophia sighed and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’re coming back for dinner tonight. In that case, I won’t cook.”
It was already midnight when James finished his dinner.
Tonight was a gathering of his childhood friends, so James drank a few glasses of wine.
He was a little thirsty when he got home and wanted to get a glass of water.
However, he was surprised to see the food on the table.
It smelled so good.
James suddenly remembered that he had received a call from Sophia a few hours ago.
At that time, the few of them were drinking, and James did not listen carefully to Sophia’s tone.
At this moment, he realized that Sophia had probably already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to go home.
James raised his eyebrows. This woman was really stupid!
She could have said it directly, so why not?
Looking at the delicious food on the table, James was clearly not very hungry, but he still picked up the cutlery and tasted a few mouthfuls of each dish.
James was very puzzled. The meals he ate every day were clearly tailor-made for him by Michelin chefs.
But James felt that the food was not half as good as Sophia’s cooking.
From the looks of it, this wife who got married in a flash seemed to be quite outstanding.
Sophia woke up in the morning and happened to see James coming out of the bathroom.
Looking at the sleepy James, Sophia greeted him lightly, “Good morning.”
James also replied indifferently, “Morning.”
Seeing that Sophia was already dressed, James raised his eyes and asked, “Leaving so early?”
Only then did Sophia remember that she had not shared the good news with James.
“Yeah, you know what?” She said excitedly. “I’ve received an offer from Gao Rui Group! They want me to report today!”
James didn’t think much of it. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Gao Rui Group? Was she that happy to receive their offer?”
Sophia smiled. “Gao Rui Group is one of the top companies in the world. Even their security guards are superior!”
As she spoke, Sophia became smug again .”Besides, I got an offer for their designer. Guess how much the salary is?”
Sophia deliberately let James guess.
What she didn’t know was that her salary was given by James himself.
James pretended not to know and asked, “How much?”
Sophia was even more proud when she saw this. She smiled and said, “10000 USD! One month!”
“Is ten thousand dollars a lot?” James frowned. “You’re so happy.”
He really couldn’t understand why Sophia was so happy. Ten thousand dollars was at most the price of one of his shirts.
“Erm, it’s enough for me. What I actually want to say is that you don’t have to be too stressed in the future. My salary is quite good now, and I’ll work hard to earn money in the future.” Sophia said hopefully.
She guessed that James had been in the army all year round and did not know much about business, so she did not care.
He even patiently advised James.
Looking at Sophia’s innocent face, James smiled. “Good, life will definitely get better and better.”
“Then hurry up and report. I slept late last night and want to sleep a little more.”
Sophia smiled and nodded before turning around to leave.
Just as the door was about to close, Sophia heard James ‘magnetic voice from the crack in the door. “The food is delicious.”
Sophia was in a hurry to go out and didn’t notice the food on the table.
James actually ate it and praised her cooking.
Sophia secretly smiled and went out.
The matter of reporting to the company went very smoothly.
Since James and Carl weren’t around, the first day of work was just the usual process.
After work, Sophia suddenly received a series of calls from her good friend, Leighton Meister.
She picked up the phone helplessly and said, “Dear Leighton, you’re finally back from your business trip?”
Leighton did not have time to chat with Sophia. She said directly, “Cut the crap. Come to my house. I have something to tell you.”
Then, he hung up.
Sophia was a little helpless, but she still obediently rushed to Leighton’s house.
Leighton was definitely looking for him to ask about the marriage.
Sophia thought for a moment and sent a message to James. “I have dinner with a friend and will be back late tonight.”
When James received the message, he had just taken a shower and planned to wait for Sophia to have dinner at home.
Seeing the message, James frowned. This woman, it’s only been a few days, and she’s not planning to go home for dinner?
Moreover, was she dating a man or a woman?
However, James couldn’t ask, so he could only reply indifferently, “Alright.
When she arrived at Leighton’s house, before Sophia could speak, Leighton pounced on her and said, “Sophia, what’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with me?”
“Who is that man? Whether he’s reliable or not, whether he has violent tendencies, have you ever understood all of these?”
As she spoke, Leighton’s eyes turned red.
It was obvious that she was really worried about Sophia.
Before Sophia could speak, Leighton asked again, “Also, your father chased you out. It’s such a big deal, but you didn’t tell me where you live now?”
Sophia looked at the teary Leighton and said emotionally, “Alright, weren’t you on a business trip? Didn’t I tell you to worry? Am I standing in front of you now?”
“Hmph!” Leighton snorted softly. “Luckily, you’re fine. If anything happened to you, I’d feel guilty for the rest of my life!”
“You haven’t answered me yet! Where are you staying now? Also, what’s up with your poor soldier husband?”
“Did your dad kick you out because of Jessica, that bitch?”
Leighton asked a series of questions again. Sophia had no choice but to persuade her to calm down and tell her everything that had happened recently.
“Shit! Jessica and her daughter are really despicable. And your father is too ruthless! You’re his biological daughter!” After hearing Sophia’s words, Leighton was immediately indignant. He wanted to go and argue with Jessica immediately.
But looking at Sophia’s lonely expression, Leighton quickly said, “Alright, don’t think about those b * tches anymore. Now that I’m back, I won’t give them the chance to bully you again. Also, we’ll help you get back your mother’s inheritance!”
