After Sophia left the cafe, she took a taxi to get home. Enjoying the breezy evening wind swaying her face, she was concurrently
searching for an answer in her nk mind.
He agreed that he’s not interested in me. That’s impossible to be a lie, she thought.
At that moment, her cell phone notified her of a new message. She checked her phone to read it and found a message from
Arthur with only two words.
She gaped at the message. Damn! He sent me a message only to scold me!
‘Mr. Weiss. Please remember you''re a decent man,’ she replied to him immediately.
Arthur then sent a reply message. ‘You don’t have any conscience.’
“You''re right, | don’t. You’ve seen through my disguise and shall stop seeing people like me from now on.’ Sophia had given up
on saving her image.
He asked again, ‘Do you think falling for you is what a fool would do?’
Meanwhile, Emily was gazing at the scenery outside in the car heading back to the vi. Beside her was Arthur typing messages
on his phone. The corners of his lips turned up from time to time to indicate his good mood, even though his fingers betrayed that
he was terrible at replying to text messages.
“Artie?” When she turned and found him smiling, she asked, “Who are you chatting with?”
“A friend.” His answer was simple.
Emily noticed a hint of amusement in Arthur’s expression as if he was having fun from the interaction, so she mustered her
courage and asked for further information. “Who is your friend?”
“You don’t know them,” he answered as he checked the phone and broke into a wide smile at the message content.
Sophia’s reply read, ‘I said the wrong thing just now. Please forgive me.’
Sophia was riding in a taxi; the sunset view could no longer catch her attention as she felt nervous waiting to receive his
response. What’s wrong with me? Am | having fun now?
‘lm home. Gotta go.’ She typed on her phone and sent the message before shoving her cell phone back into her bag.
However, her determination onlysted for a while. When she heard a message notification, she looked for her cell phone in the
bag and checked the message.
‘Itisn’t a bad thing to be likable. At least be honored by it.’
Sophia was taken aback. What does he mean? Does he have feelings for me?
Deciding that it was a wise choice to let the topic end here, she replied with a message. ‘I’m home.’
Arthur stopped sending her any messages, so she paid for the ride and got out of the taxi. As she walked home while staring at
her phone, someone halted her.
“Miss Goodwin, Old Madam Weiss would like to see you.” Sophia raised her head and found the middle-aged bodyguard from
thest time addressing her. She hid her phone behind her involuntarily when she heard Martha was looking for her.
“Sure.” Sophia nodded and followed him into the car. It was when they eventually arrived at a nearby cafe that he let her off.
As usual, Martha was waiting for her in a private room. The moment she saw Martha, the guilt washed over her as she had been
spending time with Arthur not long ago.
Sophia greeted her politely, “Old Madam Weiss.”
“Take a seat.” Martha gestured at the sofa.
As she took a seat, Martha asked her without mincing her words. “I heard that you lost our family heirloom that Artie gifted to
you?”
Sophia nodded. “Yes, | lost it. He didn’t give it to me, though. I’m the one who snatched it from his neck identally and lost it
later.”
“Arthur didn’t give it to you as a gift?” Martha asked in surprise.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
Sophia exined in detail how she had the ne in the first ce, brought the ne with her to a foreign country, and lost
it on a return trip home. Lastly, she apologized, “Old Madam Weiss, I’m sorry about what happened. Please don’t me Mr.
Weiss for it. He’s trying to retrieve the ne too.”
“He took over your father’spany to force you to return to the country. That’s so him.” After hearing her exnation, Martha
remarked with mixed emotions.
“Indeed. Mr. Weiss now has returned my father’spany and I’ll help him to look for the lost ne.” Sophia revealed
everything to Martha with full honesty.
