Just as Sophia left the cafe, Yvonne arrived after dropping off the luggage.
Yvonne was worried Rose would trouble Sophia, so she first glanced at Sophia's countenance. When she saw Sophia seemed to be okay, she sighed with relief. "We should go through the security check now, Ms. Yarrow."
In response, Sophia nodded. "Let's go."
After a nearly fifteen-hour flight, the plane landed in Jadeborough at nineish that night.
It was a rainy season during April in Jadeborough. As Sophia watched the raindrops stream down the window, she thought about Rose's words.
Yvonne noticed Sophia was lost in her thoughts. So, she hesitated momentarily before asking, "Are you hungry, Ms. Yarrow?"
Upon hearing Yvonne's words, Sophia turned her sight toward the former. "We'll eat something later."
"Okay."
It was already nearly eleven when Sophia arrived at the mansion. After staying in Moranta for over ten days, she had adjusted to the time zone there, so she wasn't feeling drowsy yet.
Before she returned, Felix had already asked people to clean up the mansion.
Jadeborough had just received a nearly week-long spring shower, so the mansion didn't smell pungent.
Sophia set aside her luggage, removed the will Rose entrusted her from her bag, and tossed it to the bedside table.
I must say, Rose is intelligent. I doubt anyone expected her to have the will. When her train of thought ended there, she went to take a bath.
Due to jetlag, she hadn't felt sleepy yet. Thus, she turned on her computer to check a few files. It wasn't until after three in the morning that she fell asleep.
It wasn't a pleasant slumber for her, and she had many short dreams. She woke up at seven in the morning before the sun rose.
After what happened to Alexander, Sophia took charge of Odyssey. Aside from her mealtime and sleep, she'd spend her waking hours working.
Right after she finished breakfast, Felix called her.
She hadn't told him about Claudius' matter.
There was a meeting during the morning, so Sophia thought Felix was calling her to inform her of last-minute changes to it.
She placed the cup in her hand down and answered the call. "It's me, Sophia."
"Good morning, Ms. Yarrow," greeted Felix.
"Good morning. Is there anything wrong with the company?"
"Everything's fine."
"In that case, why are you calling me, Mr. Lane?"
"I received a screenshot earlier. Apparently, someone sent a picture depicting you and another man together to the circle. Now, there are plenty of unsavory comments about you. Do you need me to take care of it?"
Sophia raised her eyebrow. "What picture?"
"I've sent it to your WhatsApp."
"I'll take a look." As she spoke, she lowered her phone and turned on WhatsApp.
When she saw the photo Felix sent, she tutted. "I have something I haven't told you about, Mr. Lane."
Upon hearing that, Felix tightened his grip around his phone.
Ever since Alexander went missing, he became Sophia's secretary and was responsible for dealing with Odyssey's matter.
