Chapter 458 Couldn''t You Have A Bit Of Self-respect
Paul''s words made Charles feel relieved. He really had to get this thirty-carat diamond ne
because he thought that only his wife deserved it.
No other woman but Linda was suitable to wear this diamond ne. That was why Charles was
willing to attend this auction. He didn''t know that Sophia Liu was also invited to the auction as a special
guest for the opening. But even she was there, Charles wouldn''t have to do anything different for her
sake. Anyway, she had nothing to do with him.
Charles, of course, knew of Sophia''s intentions. He had met a lot of women who was exactly like
Sophia.
Many upper ss girls had tried all kinds of means to slip into his bed. But he had managed to throw
them out of his room.
With his experience, Charles was confident that Sophia would not seed, either. Her efforts to get
him would all be in vain at the end.
At three o''clock in the afternoon, Leo Liu went to Sophia''s room. He knocked on her door and said,
"Sophia, time to get up and have your make-up done now."
Leo had waited for a long while before the door was finally opened. With a pair of sleepy eyes, Sophia
looked at Leo and the make-up artist who were both standing at the doorstep. She was furious, so she
scolded them, "I haven''t had enough sleep. You guys are so noisy!"
The make-up artist was frightened by her anger, but he didn''t dare say anything to retort, nor did he
dare enter the room without Sophia''s permission. This job was his main source of ie, so he
couldn''t offend Sophia. He couldn''t do anything but to wait for Leo''s instructions. Leo had already
gotten used to Sophia''s temper, so he tried to persuade her, "Sophia, you should get up now. You haveExclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
to get dressed and finish your make-up before 5:00 PM. You are attending this jewelry auction''s
opening ceremony as the main singer..."
"I know. No need to remind me of that, " said Sophia impatiently.
"Mr. Zhuang, the Zhuang Group''s boss, would also attend this auction. He is in the lobby of the hotel
now. He wants to see you... What do you think?" asked Leo.
"Mr. Zhuang? Which one?"
"Hanson Zhuang."
Sophia rolled her eyes with contempt as she heard the name. She said, "Hanson Zhuang? No way. I
don''t want to meet with him."
"You''d better see him at least once. After all, he''s the sponsor of some of yourmercial
advertisements. If you offend him, you might lose some opportunities within the entertainment industry,
" said Leo.
Leo knew that Hanson had always wanted to have Sophia; otherwise, he wouldn''t have signed a
contract worth three hundred million just to make Sophia the advertising model for three of his
having worked in the entertainment industry for a few years, Leo was already well aware of how these
bosses operated.
"Leo, you of all people should know what that bastard wants to do to me. How can you ask me to meet
him? What if he touches me? Would you be able to protect me? He almost seeded thest time we
met!"
Sophia shouted.
Sophia didn''t want any other men to touch her, except Charles. She would feel disgusted if she was
touched by any other men.
"Fine, ignore him if you don''t want to meet him, " Leo had to agree with her.
"Oh, right. Where''s Charles now? I still don''t know why he is attending this particr auction. He had
never attended these sorts of events before. Why did hee this time?"
Sophia asked in confusion as she sat down and started having her make-up done. Sophia was not
updated with news within thepany as much as Leo was. He had his ways of obtaining information
regarding thepany, so Sophia didn''t need to worry about many things. She could always get
answers directly from Leo.
"Well..."
Leo hesitated to answer the question. He wondered whether he should tell Sophia the truth. He was
afraid that Sophia would get angry again if she knew.
When she heard Leo stammering, Sophia''s fury immediately erupted again. She mmed her hand on
the table and yelled, "Say it! Now! No more nonsense!"
The make-up artist was startled by her sudden yell, and so he identally dropped the eyebrow pencil
on the floor.
Leo had no choice but to speak up, "To my knowledge, Mr. Mu came to this auction because one of the
items avable for bidding is a precious diamond ne. The diamond weighs thirty carats..."
"Go on, why does Charles want this ne? Does he want to give it to a woman?"
"The diamond ne is called Lin-Cha. Mr. Mu''s wife is named Linda Xia, so the ne''s name
sounds like thebination of both Linda and Charles. That''s why Mr. Mu wants to purchase this
ne. He may want to give it to his wife, " said Leo.
The whole room went silent for a moment. A cold, sharp look shadowed Sophia''s face.
The atmosphere in the room was so tense that the make-up artist didn''t dare let out a single sound. He
tried to control his trembling hands while he was applying cosmetics on Sophia''s face. Being Sophia''s
makeup artist was a tormenting affair.
Sophia wasn''t an easygoing person. It was difficult to work with her.
Suddenly, Sophia stretched out her hands and swept all of the cosmetic products on the dresser down
to the floor. The loud smashing and breaking sounds shocked both the make-up artist and Leo.
This wasn''t Leo''s first time to see Sophia get mad like this. Every time Sophia got annoyed or felt
distressed, she would begin to break or throw things.
"You, go out first, " Leo said as he waved at the make-up artist.
The make-up artist instantly went out of the room.
He had just worked for Sophia for a few days. He didn''t expect that she was such an irritable woman.
Before, the make-up artist only knew her through TV shows, and his impression was that she was a
very talented singer who sang quite well. Sophia was also developing her career in the film industry, so
the make-up artist assumed that Sophia was a very charming person. But now, he was finally seeing
her true colors behind the camera. Although she was beautiful, her personality was quite despicable!
But it was normal in the entertainment industry. Many actresses or singers were two-faced. They had a
different attitudes on camera and off camera.
"Why did you get mad again? What if other people saw you like this? Isn''t it normal for Mr. Mu to
purchase a ne for his wife? Linda Xia is Charles Mu''s legal wife. They have registered their
marriage, and they have held a wedding ceremony. The whole city knows about it. Why won''t you give
up all your meaningless behaviour? I suggest that you should have some foresight and look toward the
future!" said Leo.
Sophia wasn''t convinced by Leo''s words. She mmed her hand on the table and said, "Go
downstairs, and ask Mr. Zhuang toe here. Tell him that I want the thirty-carat diamond ne. If
he seeds in acquiring the ne in the auction, I''ll sleep with him for one night. Go now. Just
repeat my words to him!"
Leo felt so sad and shocked to hear Sophia''s words. The entertainment industry was a mnge of all
kinds ofplicated things and people, but Leo had always protected Sophia well, so she hadn''t
gotten defiled by anyone. She never needed to sleep with any of the big bosses to get a job. It couldn''t
happen to her because he wouldn''t let it.
But now, she was willing to sleep with Mr. Zhuang, someone who had a big and fat belly, in order to
fight for a diamond ne with Charles''s wife. Leo was very disappointed.
"Sophia, couldn''t you have a bit of self-respect?" Leo confronted her angrily.
After a moment, Sophia began to cool down. She looked at Leo and slowly opened her mouth to say, "I
won''t really sleep with him. You can try to tell him that in an ambiguous way. Use some maniption
tactics. Tell Mr. Zhuang that I will keep himpany if he could get the ne for me. If he does,
then I will just apany him for dinner."
