Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2476

The morning flew by, and as lunchtime approached, the rain hadn't let up. Sophia received a text from Jason, asking her to come to his office.

She knocked on the door and upon hearing Jason's voice, pushed it open. "Mr. Gilder, did you need me?"

Jason was browsing through a bookshelf and glanced over, pointing at the coffee table. "Let's have lunch."

Only then did Sophia notice the insulated lunch bag on the table. "Did you order this?"

"Yeah, it's raining outside. No need to go out!" Jason said.

Sophia raised an eyebrow, murmuring, "Dating the boss sure has its perks!"

Jason replied calmly, "Marrying the boss is a whole different story."

Sophia frowned. "Mr. Gilder, that's crossing the line. Who jumps straight to marriage talk right after getting together?"

Jason fixed his gaze on her. "Getting together?"

Blushing, Sophia stammered, "I mean, just... just deciding to be in a relationship!"

Jason's look deepened. "So, you're admitting we're together now?"

Sophia, with her short, stylish hair, huffed. "If you don't want me to take responsibility, forget I said anything!"

She quickly turned and headed for the table, already enticed by the aroma.

Lifting the lids from the lunch containers, she found a fish stew.

"Why fish stew?" Sophia asked casually.

Jason approached, his voice smooth and deep, "Just taking care of you in advance."

Sophia stared at him, almost spilling the soup on him. She had underestimated him; he could say anything without batting an eye!

They sat down to eat, the window open, letting in the soft sound of rain, creating a peaceful and cozy atmosphere.

Even though her mom had always been supportive of her and Jason, the thought of her knowing they had slept together made Sophia feel like she was caught doing something wrong.

Jason remained calm. "I just told the truth. I've informed my family as well."

Sophia was astounded. "Did you have to broadcast it to everyone?"

Jason looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Flustered, Sophia stood up, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with more force than necessary. "We're adults. Do we really need to tell our parents about us... sleeping together?"

Jason's eyes stayed on her, "You misunderstood. I only told them we're seeing each other."

She had overreacted.

Slowly sitting back down, she gave a nonchalant "Oh."
