Russell was the person Evan respected most. A mere mention of him would make Evan more cautious.
Chasing Sofie away like this would only aggravate the conflict Evan had with his grandfather.
But I can’t be blamed if she leaves at her own will.
Evan cast a sharp gaze at her and spoke nonchalantly.
“Since it was my grandfather who sent you, you can stay. But it’ll be tough being my assistant. I hope you can manage.”
Sofie was internally delighted. As long as I get to remain by his side, I’ll have the chance to win his heart!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I’ll manage. I have to.
“I’m not afraid of working hard, Evan. I’ll do it as long as it makes your grandpa happy.”
Nicole fell silent.
Her eyes fell on Evan before shifting to Sofie.
She noticed the goading look in Sofie’s eyes. It’s obvious what she’s thinking.
That profound look Evan had displayed—he clearly had a trick up his sleeve.
I can’t wait to see what he does to this woman. Let’s find out how long she’ll be able to take all this.
After pondering for a while, Nicole got up. “I still have something to take care of at Lane Corporation, Mr. Seet, so I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Despite being curious about what Evan would do to Sofie, she figured it was better not to be involved in this mess.
It’s not worth the trouble she might cause me after being pissed off by Evan.
It’s best if I flee.
Yet, someone just had to stop her.
The man quickly walked toward her and grabbed her wrist.
“Did I say you could leave?”
Nicole was speechless.
Before she could answer, Sofie put on a pitiful face. “Do you not like seeing me, Ms. Lane? It was Mr. Russell who insisted on letting me come. I hope you’ll understand.”
Huh?
When did I ever say I didn’t want to see you?
You’re even bringing up Mr. Russell? So you’re implying that if I don’t understand you, that means I don’t understand him?
