Suddenly, a black Land Rover stopped in front of Sophia. Behind the car window, Leon popped his
head out, looked at Sophia and asked with concern, "Miss Sophia, what's wrong with you?"
Shaking her head, Sophia tried to pretend that she was fine, but her voice was full of exhaustion. "I'm
fine..."
At this time, Rita walked up to Leon and said, "nothing. I sensed something was wrong from your tone!
Sophia! Bring it on! Let Leon drive you home! " Rita waved to Sophia and said haughtily. And Leon was
beside her. Sophia could not bear the two people's repeated invitation, so she had to limp into the car.
Rita noticed it. She got on the car and asked, :"Sophia, what's wrong with your foot?"
"Nothing serious. I just went out of the company and didn't see the steps. I twisted my ankle, and my
high heels were broken too. Hehe. " Sophia shook her head and said with self-mockery.
"Well, where is Victor? Why are you alone?" Rita felt strange when she saw Sophia. Sophia and Victor
were been together all the time. But today, Sophia felt so lonely...
Sophia turned to look out of the window, afraid that she might say something to stop herself from
staring at Rita's fiery eyes. Feigning calmness, she said, "Victor has been busy recently. I don't want
him to worry about me, so I'm going back." To be honest, Sophia's feelings now were very complicated.
It was her that refused Victor to pick her up, but she still hoped that Victor could refute her words and
immediately returned to the company to find her.
As Leon drove, he interrupted, "recently there are some problems with our company's orders. Victor is
dealing with them. He is indeed much busier than before."
Since Victor took over the company, he had a good relationship with many people and almost ran into
no problems. And since this went wrong this time, Victor could tell that the cooperation between him
and Victor was very important.
Sophia nodded thoughtfully. She felt much better when she heard Leon's words.
"But, you should pay more attention to Victor. As his girlfriend, you should not only care for him, but
also do something sweet. Ha!" As Rita spoke, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. At the same
time, Leon in the driver's seat couldn't help but slightly smile.
Sophia looked at the two people in front of her and felt inexplicably that they were hurting a dog. What
was going on?
"Wait, why are you two together? And the scene seems so harmonious? You used to have a row with
each other every time you met? Ah, are you two... "
Said Sophia slowly. She couldn't believe what she had seen when she recalled the details of their
previous getting along with each other.
"Don't talk nonsense. Sophia!" Rita interrupted in time and continued, "We have a common friend.
Today is our friend's birthday. We can go to the birthday party together." Rita said nervously. Then Rita
took out the face powder to fix her makeup, trying to hide her inexplicable mood.
Sophia seemed to read Rita's mind. Sophia smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Why are you so nervous
to explain everything?"
However, it didn't work. Rita looked back at Sophia as if to warn her. Rita wanted to remind the woman
to stop talking nonsense.
Leon, who had been focusing on driving, noticed the interaction between Rita and Sophia. He covered
his mouth and chuckled. However, he was also glared at by Rita. She gritted her teeth and said, "focus
on driving!"
"Yes, we just drop by to attend a birthday party. Please don't make fun of us." Leon also helped Rita
out, and said helplessly.
Sophia didn't make any comments. Instead, she nodded to show her discontent. But Leon exchanged
a look with Sophia in the rearview mirror, so they got it.
It seemed that Rita and Leon hadn't been together yet, but Sophia was happy to notice the sign of
ambiguity. Rita and Leon were totally different when Rita with Victor. Sophia could see the situation in
her own eyes!
It didn't take Leon long to send Sophia home. Sophia got off the car quickly and didn't want to disturb
the two people in the car. After getting out of the car, Sophia turned around and left.
The sky outside was dark as ink. It was already dark night. Somehow, wandering outside the house,
Sophia didn't want to go in. Because of the thin clothes, she shrugged, wrapped her clothes, and sat
down on the stone chair in the courtyard. Sophia could not feel the hot summer. When she sat down,
she only felt the coldness of her buttocks.
Sophia sat in the yard, in a daze. She gazed at the slightly lit lights in the villa and was absorbed into it.
From Sophia's point of view, the beam of light came from the living room, while the bedroom upstairs
facing her and Victor was dark. She knew that Victor hadn't come home. She didn't want to face this
empty villa alone.
With a sound of "squeak", the wooden door in the villa was opened. Zelda walked out with the trash in
her hand. The first thing she saw was Sophia in the yard.
"Miss Sophia, why didn't you tell me when you came back? What if you catch a cold sitting in the yard
alone?" Zelda said worriedly as she threw the garbage into the bin and washed her hands.
Getting back to herself, Sophia didn't want to hide her feelings any more, so she said plainly, "I just
want to be alone for a while..."
Zelda felt that Sophia wasn't in a good situation. "Miss Sophia, I'm going to bring a coat for you. If you
don't mind, you can have a chat with me." As she spoke, Zelda turned around to get the clothes for
Sophia.
"Zelda, don't bother. I'm going inside now..." Sophia didn't want to bother Zelda. So Sophia stood up
immediately and walked into the villa with her.
But, maybe because she had been sitting for too long, her ankle had already been injured. Sophia
stood up and sat back on the stone chair again as she was about to walk. But it really frightened Zelda.
She quickened her pace to carry Sophia into the room.
"Miss Sophia, your ankle has been swollen, so why don't you say anything! Does Mr. Victor know about
it? " Zelda rubbed the medicine for bruise treatment to Sophia's ankle and asked softly. Zelda felt sorry
for her.
Sophia seemed to be a little tired. She shook her head and said absentmindedly, "no, I don't. Victor's
company is very busy recently. I don't want to make any trouble for him." When it came to "messed up",
Sophia's heart suddenly lost some beats. And the things that happened a few days ago came to her
mind unconsciously.
"Miss Sophia, you seem to have something on your mind. You are just a couple. It's not appropriate for
you to say 'don't bother'. You are already in such a relationship. It's so polite of you to say that! " Zelda,
who was massaging Sophia's ankle with the full strength, basically alleviated the swelling and pain of
her ankle.
"There have been a lot of things happened these days, but you and Mr. Victor are very clear with each
other. You should have a better relationship with Mr. Victor, and you shouldn't have gotten yourself in
such an embarrassing situation."
In Zelda's view, Sophia was a girl with strong self-esteem, and even Victor was more arrogant. There
must be a lot of trouble if they got along with each other. Zelda had more or less heard of what had
happened these days. After all, Xiao family was a rich and powerful background. A lot of people wanted
to be the wife of Victor.
Sophia nodded. It seemed that she was more concerned about Victor than she thought.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired these few days that Sophia fell asleep on the sofa while
chatting with Zelda. Heaving a sigh of relief, Zelda tiptoed to her bedroom and got a towel blanket for
Sophia. She covered it with the blanket fearing that Sophia might catch a cold in this cold room.
…… Victor returned home. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Sophia lying on the sofa. He
got closer to Sophia and couldn't help but observe this woman's sleeping face.
Sophia's skin was too white, and the real skin could be easily broken if being blown by the wind. As a
result, her long thick black eyelashes were more attractive. It seemed that Sophia couldn't sleep well.
She frowned, looking very worried.
Victor couldn't help touching Sophia's cheeks. The warm palm seemed to have eased her pain. Her
eyebrows were slightly raised a little, not as defensive as she was at the beginning. Victor looked at
Sophia's ankle again. Although Zelda had mixed up the swelling, the bruises on Sophia's ankle were
still recognizable.
'I can't rest assured with this woman...'
Victor lifted the Sophia, soft body to his chest and headed upstairs.
Victor settled Sophia on the bed for a couple bed, and then went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot
water. He had asked Zelda and thought that the best way to alleviate the swelling was to put on a hot
towel.
Victor dipped the towel in hot water and covered Sophia's ankle with it. He re replaced the bathtub
every ten minutes.
Victor's action looked awkward, but he was serious. This was the time he had taken care of the
opposite sex for several times, and the last time was when Sophia got drunk.
However, Sophia didn't know all this things...
…… It was already noon when Sophia woke up. The harsh sunlight with the peculiar temperature of
summer lit up the whole bedroom.
Sophia slowly got up from the bed. Looking around the empty bedroom, she felt so disappointed that
she didn't see Victor. She then realized that when she had been asleep while chatting with Zelda
yesterday, she was still on the sofa, and now she had been in the bedroom when she woke up, which
meant that Victor had come back.
