After Dawn and Sofia signed the contract, the former insisted to visit her God-fatherrents.
Zeke could not refuse her, thus, he had to bring her along.
Dawn was glib-tongued and kept greeting both elderly as ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’. They were delighted with her and were grinning from ear to ear.
Soon after that, Dawn received some gifts from them.
After dinner, Zeke received a call from Lacey.
She would be returning to Oakheart City soon, so she wanted him to pick her up.
Before leaving, Zeke Williams pulled Sofia aside and instructed her, “I am representing the project department to sign a cooperation contract with Nancy. That girl may drop by later and attempt to find out the boss of this project. Don’t tell her it’s me.”
Deep down in her heart, Nancy firmly believed that her hero had acquired this project.
If Sofia tells her that I’m the boss, then my identity will be revealed. What if she pesters me to no end after she finds out?
“Kiddo, tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Nancy Hinton? Why must you hide your identity?”
“We have a lot of misunderstandings, which can’t be cleared up easily.”
“Oh, another ambiguous relationship.” Sofia sighed, “Am I right that your relationship with Dawnie is not that simple too? Kiddo, I know you are rich now. But no matter how rich you are, you should not toy with a girl’s feelings. Won’t the girl be very upset if she finds out that you have more than one girlfriend?”
What the f*** is she talking about? Hearing her comments, Zeke’s forehead was beaded with sweat that instant.
“Sofia, what are you thinking about? Am I such a playboy to you?” Zeke Williams wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Sofia pondered for a while before she shook her head, “No.”
“Then that’s it. Don’t worry. I will only love Lacey my whole life. I won’t let her down.”
That immediately brought a smile unto Sofia’s face, “Bring her here next time. I have prepared a gift for her, so I want to pass it to her personally.”
“Sure.”
Zeke nodded and left after that.
The smile on Sofia’s face froze, and her eyes turned red.
Why do I feel so upset when Zeke claimed to love Lacey only in his whole life?
Can it be...
Sofia shook her head frantically. No. He’s a kiddo, so it’s not possible. I can’t... This fellow has become so charming now. No wonder the girls around him adore him.
In the meantime, Nancy arrived shortly after Zeke left.
After introducing herself to Sofia, both of them started discussing the contract.
It was a rather jovial discussion.
After their discussion on strategic cooperation ended, Nancy said suddenly, “Sofia, can I see your boss?”
Remembering Zeke’s instructions not to expose him, she said, “I’m sorry. I don’t know my boss’s whereabouts, as I have never seen him before. But don’t worry. I can represent my boss and have the complete say in this project. You can tell me if there are any problems, so there’s no need to bother him.”
“Oh.” Nancy’s face fell with disappointment upon hearing that.
