"Sophia, you're up?" However, the frightened look on Teresa's face made people feel that she was
guilty. Sophia was more sure the scene that she had just seen.
At this time, Victor also stepped back two steps to keep a distance from Teresa. When Teresa saw this,
she felt a chill in her heart. Although Sophia felt that the man was also hiding something.
"Okay, I'm getting up!" Sophia didn't look at Teresa. She only gave a glance at Victor with a faint smile
and walked directly to the dining table.
'Sophia must have misunderstood me, ' Victor surmised, raising his eyebrows. He impatiently
unfastened the necktie that he hadn't tied up.
Seeing Sophia's stiff back, Teresa raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She walked to the dining table, as if she was the hostess. She put her hand on Sophia's shoulder and
asked in a soft voice, "Sophia, did you sleep well last night?"
Sophia was more uncomfortable. But she forced a smile as the basic politeness was necessary for a
woman to greet her.
"I'm fine. How about you?"
Teresa smiled back and said, "I couldn't fall asleep if I stayed in the hotel last night. But I can sleep well
at home. Thank you for taking me home last night."
Sophia wanted to say "you're welcome. This is what I should do." but she suddenly realized that she
didn't have a stand. Teresa was the fiancee of Victor and the future hostess of this family. Sophia was
just a passerby and a replacement.
Sophia had nothing but her body. How could she say something like that? The more she thought about
it, the sadder she became. Sophia kept silent for a long time.
Noticing that Sophia kept silent, Teresa said, "Sophia, you're beautiful and you have a good personality.
I didn't expect that you have so many friends. You seemed to be familiar with Mr. Jeremy last night!"
Sophia shocked. Jeremy was a competitor to the YS Group. She was indeed his female companion
last night. Was Teresa mocking her?!
The expression on Victor's face darkened as he read the subtext of Teresa's words. He gave Teresa a
quick glance and Teresa was startled by the man's warning. Then Victor walked over to the main seat,
sat down and coldly said, "let's eat dinner now."
At this moment, Zelda had just put the breakfast on the table. There were usually bread, eggs and a
bowl of white fungus and cubilose soup. Since Victor had asked Zelda to make some tonic for Sophia
last time, Zelda got it everyday in some other ways.
When the breakfast was served, Teresa immediately picked up an egg and carefully shelled it. The
white egg was held between her slender fingers, which was very pleasing.
Sophia thought the shelled egg was for herself, but to Sophia's surprise, Teresa handed it to Victor.
"Victor, this is the egg I have peeled. You can eat it! You work so hard every day. You need more
nutrition. "
Although his mother treated Teresa as her daughter-in-law, Victor didn't think it was a good idea for him
to do so.
He refused, "no, I can eat by myself."
However, Teresa didn't give up. She pulled the chair closer to the direction of Victor and said
coquettishly, "Victor, if you don't eat, I will call Auntie! Before I came here, your mother asked me to
take good care of you... "
He didn't know what to do with his mother. 'If I let my mother know such a trifle, she might try to make
trouble, ' he thought.
Seeing that Victor in front of her was hesitating, Teresa immediately put the egg into his mouth, which
made Victor swallow a mouthful subconsciously.
Teresa put her hand away and smiled happily, "that's right, Victor! You have to eat eggs every morning
from now on! " Victor didn't say a word.
Sophia could have a panoramic view of their movements, including the one that Victor ate an egg with
the hand of Teresa. She felt like an invisible person could never be integrated in this atmosphere.
Victor didn't do anything to Teresa, but he was so cold that he could eat the egg fed by a woman, which
meant that he also treated this woman in a different way!
Sophia thought for a while. They had been together for such a long time. Apart from constant quarrels
and cold war, had they ever experienced such tenderness? Although Sophia didn't want to admit it, she
was jealous.
She lost her appetite. She held a piece of bread in her hand and didn't move for a long time.
Looking at Sophia, Teresa showed a smiled with success. Teresa took a bowl of bird's nest soup from
the table and put it in front of Sophia.
"Sophia, you should take care of your body earlier and eat more nutritious food in your daily life, or it
will be too late to take care of you after you reach the age of 25!"
Then Teresa pretended to be close and asked, "Sophia, how old are you?"
Sophia was embarrassed. 25 years old? She was 25.! Was Teresa mocking her age? Teresa must
have investigated her background information before she came here. Then why did she say that?!
Sophia understanding of her existence was a thorn in the eyes of Teresa. This woman didn't let her go.
Teresa just changed a strategy!
Thinking of this, Sophia felt relieved. Since there would be a thorn in her side no matter what she did,
she might as well face it directly.
She looked at Teresa straightforwardly and answered, "I'm 25 years old exactly!"
Teresa covered her mouth in embarrassment. "Oh! Sophia, I didn't mean to talk about you being old! "
"It doesn't matter. All women will get old one day. After two or three years, you will also reach this age."
Sophia looked at Teresa playfully.
Originally, Teresa wanted to mock Sophia, but she was mocked by Sophia. Enraged, Teresa rubbed
her skirt.
With an unnatural look on her face, Teresa answered, "yes... Yes, you're right. "
The people who were having breakfast had different feelings. Sophia didn't taste any more. She got up
and was going to work.
Seeing this, Victor stood up and said, "I'll take you with me."
Sophia said in a cold voice, "no, you may continue to eat. I can go by myself."
Victor frowned and ignored her. He took the car key and walked towards Sophia.
When they were about to go out, the voice of Teresa came from behind.
"Victor, I... Can I have an internship in your company? " The woman sounded so weak that made
people's heart softened and they didn't have the heart to refuse her.
Stepping in front of Victor, Teresa pinched the hemline of her nightgown as if she was too shy to say
anything else.
"Victor, I've just returned from abroad and I don't know much about the domestic market. Father has
told me to go to more social practice. You can help me during my internship in your company, okay?"
Looking at the delicate and touching expression on her face, Sophia couldn't help but think, 'if I were a
man, I wouldn't have rejected such a woman. But what about Victor?'?
As a woman, she had to admit that Teresa was a scheming woman.
Last night, Teresa condescended to live in the guest room of a more comfortable hotel. However, today,
a high-level student who had just graduated was willing to be a junior Intern of the YS Group.
The ultimate goal of all this was to meet Victor. No wonder Rita said this woman was not simple. She
grew up in a business family. How could she be simple minded? Compared to Rita, Teresa had a
deeper mind despite her sweet appearance.
Sophia didn't want to listen to it or she was afraid to hear the answer from the man, so she walked out
of the house and waited for Victor.
After Sophia was gone, Victor looked at Teresa sitting opposite him. "Your family has a lot of
companies, many of which matches your major. I advise you to have an internship in your own
company."
Since Teresa had assumed that she would be turned down, she was not surprised at the news.
"But, Victor, I'm here for you this time. Your mother also asked me to learn more from you. If I go back, I
can't face it!"
Victor put on a long face wordlessly. An family and Xiao family were old family friends. It was precisely
because of their special relationship that Teresa became unscrupulous. His mother was always a
troublemaker for him.
Teresa gave a glance at Victor with great care and added, "the reason why you don't allow me to go
with you is that because of... Sophia? Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble! And I would never talk
nonsense in the company. "
Teresa made a promise, and she was sweet and forthright.
Victor looked up at Teresa, his deep eyes scrutinizing her without saying anything.
After a while, Victor replied, "you can stay at home and have a good rest. We'll talk about it in a few
days."
Looking at the man's receding figure, Teresa showed a successful smile.
Standing outside the door, boring, Sophia kicked the stone with her tiptoe. Seeing this, Victor slightly
smiled and laughed at her childish behavior.
He walked to hold her hand, but Sophia shook it off immediately.
"We'd better keep a distance. We can't let others see us." Sophia somewhat ironic. She headed
towards the garage without waiting for Victor.
Victor looked a little annoyed.
After getting on the car, Sophia asked Victor, "why didn't Teresa come with you? Isn't she supposed to
work here as an intern? "
"Are you... Jealous?"
"Of course not!" Sophia contradicted subconsciously, "I'm just thinking whether our contract will be
terminated in advance or not since Teresa is here!"
Hearing this, Sophia was stunned. It turned out that she cared so much about the contract in her heart.
Perhaps, this was the only connection between her and the man.
However, Victor thought that Sophia wanted to leave. He coldly said, "Teresa has nothing to do with our
contract. Don't think about leaving!"
Without saying anything, Sophia kept looking out of the window, fiddling with the seat belt on her
shoulder.
