After hearing what Leo had said angrily, Sophia's voice softened as she spoke to him.
"How could you be so reckless? You are a top celebrity now, so you shouldn't do things that could destroy your reputation, " Leo said in a serious tone. He didn't like it when Sophia would say such things, such as sleeping with a boss.
Sophia got a bit impatient as she saw Leo looking furious and talking to her with reproach.
"Fine, fine. I was just kidding. You don't have to talk to me in that tone. Now, I need to put on make-up and get dressed. Isn't the rehearsal starting at 5:00 PM? But you must help me relay Mr. Zhuang the message. Tell him that I really want that thirty-carat diamond necklace..."
Disappointed, Leo shook his head. He then left hopelessly after telling the make-up artist to continue having Sophia's make-up done.
Since he was unwilling to tell Hanson Sophia's message himself, he sent another person to look for Hanson. Hanson only went to the jewelry auction because he had found out that Sophia would be there as well. Otherwise, he would not be interested in attending it in the first place.
He knew that Sophia would be the honored guest who was responsible for the opening number, so he went there, hoping that he could run into her and have a good time with her.
In the VIP room downstairs
A fat man was smoking an expensive cigar. He took a deep drag on the cigar and then slowly blew out smoke rings. It was apparent that he was a wealthy man with a high social status.
"Mr. Zhuang, Miss Sophia had to take part in the rehearsal at 5:00 PM, so she couldn't make the time to meet you now, "
Said a man next to him politely.
"What? She isn't willing to see me? How could she be so stuck-up and arrogant?"
"She is really busy at the moment. I can tell her to meet with you after the auction is over. But... she seems to be very interested in a certain thirty-carat diamond necklace..."
"Wait a second. Are you sure that she is really interested in that diamond necklace?"
"Yes. I also heard Miss Sophia say that the diamond necklace is very beautiful, and she wants to own it so badly..."
Hanson gave out a heart chuckle; the fat around his face shook. After taking another drag on the cigar, he pressed it against the table and snuffed it out.
"I will buy it for her if she likes it. I would gladly do that to make her happy."
"I believe that Miss Sophia will be very pleased when you would give the diamond necklace to her. By then, she might agree to do anything you want with you." The man, standing beside Hanson, smiled lasciviously as if he was imagining a lewd scenario.
At the thought of this, Hanson's face lit up with excitement. He had been fascinated by her for so long, but he hadn't had any chance to have her. Hanson had hooked up with a lot of female stars, and he could always get the women he liked. Now, he was going to make Sophia his woman. He believed that she would be willing to sleep with him after he had already given her so many gifts, on top of this diamond necklace that he was determined to acquire.
At 5:00 in the afternoon, the rehearsal for the auction began.
Sophia was going to sing at the auction during the opening remarks. She had arrived at the site of the auction half an hour in advance in time for the rehearsal. She had to make sure that everything would go well during the performance. Above all, she had to adjust the microphone volume and reverb effects. When the organizers heard Sophia's pleasant voice, they were all surprised.
They didn't expect that Sophia's voice was equally beautiful live. She wasn't just a gorgeous woman without any talent. Only the Mu's Group could have been this brilliant in finding such a gifted and capable star.
