Chapter 136 Sleeping together?


    The next early morning, Sophia received a phone call. It was Zach, “Come on! Wake up! I will deduct


    your payment if you arete!”


    Sophia totally woke up now. She ran to the bathroom and washed her face. Yesterday, Zach bought a


    dress to her. She would wear it today. And she put on a coat because it was a little cold in H City. Then


    she put on a pair of heating pads inside the coat because she was afraid of coldness.


    Zach was impatient because he waited for her for a long time. They set off as soon as Sophia got on


    the car.

    In S City.


    The weather in S City was quite different from that in H City. It was hot and muggy. Sophia wore a coat,


    and she even had two heating pads! Now she was too hot to take a breath.


    Zach kept nagging, “I’ve told you it is hot in S City. But you don’t listen to me.”


    “Now I know…though it’s toote.” Sophia said. She sneakily took the pads away on the back seat and


    felt much better.


    The car drove into the vi. Sophia looked at his vi and was astonished by the view. She hadn’t seen


    a vi like that! So grand, so beautiful!


    He patted her head slightly and then pulled her arm, “What are you looking at? Follow me. Don’t gaze


    around.”


    She wanted to get rid of his hand. But thinking that she was hired to act as his girlfriend, it was his right


    to just hold her hand. So she just let him.


    Mrs. Stone was waiting for them in the hall. She saw they holding hands closely and felt so happy, “You


    must be Sophia, aren’t you? Wow, you are pretty. Come in now!”


    “Mother,” Zach frowned, “You scared her.”


    “Look at you! How thoughtful!” Mrs. Stone chuckled.


    Sophia was awkward, giving the present to Mrs. Stone, “Mrs. Stone, it’s for you. Zach bought it for


    you.”


    “You are so sweet. Thank you so much. Be easy, OK? Actually I am not that kind of old stereotype. We


    can be friends, right? Look at me, I am still young.”


    Sophia looked at her face. She was right. Though she was over 40 years old, her beautiful face made


    her look ten years younger.


    Zach released her hand and asked her to take a seat, “It’s her first time to meet you. She should be


    polite to you. It’s good manner.”


    “Come on! Old school! We are family! Don’t always talk about manners! Don’t be that serious.”


    Zach was shocked by her words. She just met Sophia yet treated her so well. She even treated her as


    a family member already! It was too fast. Did she think that it was impossible for him to have a


    girlfriend?


    Mrs. Stone surely didn’t know what he was thinking. She only focused on Sophia. The more she looked


    at her, the more she liked her. “Sophia, I thought Zach was lying to me again. I never expect it is true!


    He does bring you here! What a surprise!”


    “Mrs. Stone, actually, it’s been a short time since we got together. We think it’s too soon to tell you.”


    Sophia said nicely.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sophia was so sweet and she was so good at talking with the old. Mrs. Stone was satisfied with her.


    What she wanted to do at once was arrange their wedding.


    They talked till thete afternoon. Mrs. Stone had to go, “I should cook the dinner now. Zach, show


    Sophia around the vi. I’m afraid she will be bored.”


    Zach was unhappy, but he had to do as she said.


    Sophia felt relieved after leaving the hall. “Well. You have servants. Why does she cook for us?”


    “My father passed away many years ago. She tries to keep herself busy or she will keep thinking of my


    father.”


    “I am sorry…”


    Sophia nodded, “Your mother is so nice. And I can see that she cares about you so much!”


    “I know.”


    “Then you should get a real girlfriend. She will be very happy.”


    Zach was annoyed, “It’s my business. And now you just need to do a good job and make her happy.


    That’s enough, isn’t it?”


    “But…I am not your...!” Sophia reminded him.


    She was just a one-day girlfriend hired by him. She would leave soon. Then he told a lie to Mrs. Stone


    that they broke up. But this would only make Mrs. Stone unhappy and more worried about him.


    “Sophia!” He wanted to yell at her, but it happened to rain right at this moment. The rain was pouring


    down all in a sudden. They didn’t have an umbre. So they had to ran into the house. However, they


    all got wet.


    Mrs. Stone asked a maid to get towels for them. And they were asked to take a warm bath. Mrs. Stone


    said, “The weather is changeable in S City these days. It may be sunny in the morning, but the next


    minute, it will be rainy."


    She helped Sophia dry her hair. The maid said that the warm water was ready. So she pushed them to


    the bath room and urged them to take a bath.


    Sophia didn’t expect that it rained cats and dogs. So she didn’t have dry clothes. But Mrs. Stone was


    so nice that she prepared a set of dry clothes for her. And it was her size.


    After taking a bath, she went downstairs. Mrs. Stone gave her a ss of hot water, which helped keep


    her warmer.


    She felt better after drinking the water. Looking out of the window, she found that it was still raining.


    She was worried, “How can we go home tonight?”


    “Go home? It’s dangerous to go to the airport now. What’s more, the flight is possibly dyed. Listen.


    Let Zach change the flight. And you should go home tomorrow.”


    Sophia was shocked, “Then tonight…”


    “Tonight, you should stay here. I will ask them to clean Zach’s bedroom. It’s clean. So don’t worry.”


    After saying that, she cleaned the table and did some washing in the kitchen.


    What? Stay here tonight?


    She was anxious. It was fine to stay here tonight. But seemingly Mrs. Stone would make them sleep in


    the same room!


    Zach didn’t know what Mrs. Stone just said. He feltfortable after the bath. When he walked into his


    bedroom, his phone was ringing. So he took it and had a look. The name on the screen froze him.


    “Anna?”


    “Zach. Where are you? My father wants to invite you to our home. And he says that he likes the


    presents you sent himst time…”


    “Anna, I’m not in H City right now.” Zach took a deep breath. He searched the smoke on the desk and


    lit it up. The white smoke was around him.


    Anna felt sullen, “Then where are you?”


    “In S City. I’m visiting my mother.”


    “Why don’t youe with me? I didn’t meet herst time because you said you were busy.” Sophia


    grumbled.


    He exhaled the smoke slowly, “Maybe next time. Now it’s pouring. I will go back tomorrow.”


    “Alright. Then call meter.” She didn’t insist and hung up the phone quickly.


    Zach turned off the phone and put it on the desk. A strange feeling urred to him. He didn’t know


    how to be with her in the future.
