Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Good News For Bianca II

SOPHIA’S POV

I called Bianca before I had even finished my tea.

She picked up on the third ring “Hi Sophia."

"How are you this morning?" I asked first, because that came before anything else.

I heard her exhale. "Better. I slept eventually. I also checked the lock about four times before I did, but...better”

"Good." I meant it completely. "I have something to tell you”

“What is it?"

"Marco called this morning. He ran into Thomas – the CEO of the Toer Group, the hospitality company. They’re expanding their hotel restaurant chain and they’re looking for a food content consultant. They need someone to develop recipes and build on-screen content for the brand." I paused. "It’s a real position, Bianca. It’s contracted, properly paid”

Silence.

Then: "Sophia."

"He thought of you immediately. He spoke about your channel, the audience you’re building, the way you talk about food-" I stopped. "He thinks you’re exactly what they’re looking for."

There was another silence, longer this time. I could feel her processing it on the other end of the line.

"Tell me everything," she said.

So I told her. I told her everything Marco had told me – the role, the hotels involved, the content expectations, the compensation.

I told her about the interview process, that it was still early, that nothing was guaranteed but that Thomas was serious and my brother’s recommendation carried real weight with him.

Bianca listened without interrupting, which was how I knew she was genuinely interested. When Bianca was only mildly interested in something, she interrupted constantly with questions. When something interested Bianca deeply, she went quiet and absorbed every word.

When I finished, she said, "The pay he mentioned."

"Yes."

"That’s .... Sophia, that’s almost double what I was making with Marcel’s company."

"I know."

"And it’s mine. It would be completely mine." Her voice had changed again. She sounded happier. "No one could take it from me. No connection to him. No-"

"Nothing," I said. "Clean slate”

"I’d finally be free of him, properly free."

My throat went tight "So you’ll interview?"

"Yes." She squealed "Yes, Sophia. Absolutely yes."

I felt so relieved. My wolf purred with happiness.

"I’ll call Marco right now and confirm. He’ll set up the interview as soon as possible."

"Tell him thank you," Bianca said. She was sniffling now. I could tell she was crying "Tell him - tell him it means everything. That I-"

"I’ll tell him," I said gently. "He knows."

"Sophia,"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for last night, for this morning, for-" She stopped, taking in a deep breath "For not letting me disappear."

I sat with that for a moment. I imagined how much this must mean to her. My eyes burned with tears.

"You were never going to disappear," I said. "I wouldn’t have allowed it."

She laughed and we said goodbye.

I called Marco back immediately. He picked up before it even rang properly, which meant he had been waiting.

"She’s interested," I said. "More than interested. She’s ready."

"Good. I’ll contact Thomas today and get something scheduled early next week if possible."

"Soon is better," I said. "She needs something to look forward to."

"I understand." He paused. "You sound better than you did an hour ago."

I smiled "I am better than I did an hour ago."

"Good. Go to work. I’ll handle this."

When he saw me walk toward him, he smiled. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
