After Michael and Sophia watched the northern lights for a while, Sophia changed the mode into the deep sea, where the sea was pitch black and there were glittering deep sea animals swimming around.
Suddenly, a vicious shark rushed out. Sophia jumped in fright and subconsciously scampered into Michael’s arms.
He chuckled heartily as he held her tight.
Tomorrow would be a big day for Sophia. She was so nervous about it that she couldn’t sleep, so she picked different modes: the deep sea, rainforest, dessert…
“What kind of nervous are we talking about here?” Michael replied.
“My whole body feels tight,” Sophia answered.
“I don’t believe you. Let me check.”
A perverted Michael reached out his hand toward her nightgown…
The next day, Michael’s styling team arrived early in the morning. After they styled and dressed Sophia, she headed out.
As Sophia was getting down at the entrance of Bayside University, Michael, who was in the car, asked her again, “Do you want me to go and support your event?”
“I don’t want to use your popularity to boost my event,” Sophia scoffed.
Michael shook his head and sighed as he watched her run toward the entrance.
He saw the posters at the entrance of the university… Hmm, Sophia’s going to give a speech at the auditorium in Bayside University and attend her book signing event.
The poster showed, ‘Book Signing of Sophia, Bayside City’s Outstanding Student, at the auditorium today’, with small prints, ‘Taylor Murray will not be attending.’
She did say she wasn’t going to use his popularity to boost her event.
Michael felt like he had been abandoned as he walked away sulking. When he got into the car, he flipped Sophia’s book and started to read it.
Title: Mighty Me
Author: Sophia Edwards
Today’s Bayside University gymnasium was bustling with people. Hale had just moved Sophia’s books into the gymnasium. Initially, book signing events were not allowed in Bayside University, but Sophia was an exception since she was the university’s student, so they made an exception for her.
Even though the poster stated that Taylor Murray wouldn’t be attending the book signing, there were still many Taylor’s fans, Sophia’s fans, as well as the fans that were rooting for their relationship.
The auditorium was filled with people, and even though this was not the first time she had faced this kind of scene, Sophia was still quite nervous. She took a deep breath as she got on stage and began her speech.
Her speech was simple and straightforward. She talked about her past and poured out her encounters of pain and suffering during her youth. She explained that because she faced her trauma bravely, she became stronger, and all the pain and suffering she had to endure were just the sharpener for her to be stronger.
The speech was going well, and the crowd applauded intermittently, but halfway through the speech, there was a loud commotion outside the auditorium, as if something was happening.
“The speech has already started, so you’re not allowed in. Get out, get out.”
Sophia’s personal bodyguards and the security team of Bayside University were working together to maintain order at today’s event. It seemed as though they were trying to stop the people who were trying to force their way in.
There were about a dozen black clad bodyguards trying to break through as they caused quite a ruckus at the entrance. The students inside the auditorium turned around and tried to see what was happening.
Sophia was also forced to stop halfway through her speech as she rushed backstage and asked Hale through a walkie-talkie, “What’s going on?”
Hale quickly responded from his side.
After hearing Hale’s response, Sophia’s expression turned dark.
A grim look flashed through Sophia’s delicate face. A few seconds later, she spoke into the walkie-talkie, “Let her in, and give her the best seat.”
That stirred up quite a commotion among the crowd as some people started to take out their phones to record. It must be Taylor coming!
