At first, Sophia was on the fence about working with Hayes Group. She didn’t want to get too involved with Frank, especially since she didn’t want Easton getting the wrong idea or feeling uneasy about it.
She was also worried that gossip might cause drama between Frank and his fiancée.
But now that Bluewave Hotel was officially Charlotte’s and not part of Hayes Group, Sophia figured she’d only be dealing with Charlotte from here on out.
That shouldn’t cause any problems, and it was also a way to pay Frank back for his help.
Sophia gave a small nod and reached out her hand. “Miss Vaughn, looking forward to working with you.”
Charlotte’s face lit up and she grasped Sophia’s hand right away.
Bluewave Hotel was Frank’s betrothal gift, and Charlotte was happy to accept it. But to keep things drama-free down the road, she insisted on a prenup with Frank before the wedding.
From the very start, Charlotte had always planned that once her grandfather was gone, she’d leave Frank.
Even though she grew up in an academic family and had never touched business before, Charlotte knew rich family marriages never last long, and she needed to build something for herself.
So from day one, she put her all into it.
So from
Charlotte listened closely as Sophia broke down the design ideas for Bluewave Hotel, scribbling notes in her notebook as she went.
After just three hours together, Sophia realized Charlotte was not only a fast learner, but also humble and diligent. She might be new to business, but she was putting in real effort.
Sophia genuinely enjoyed teaching her and happily shared all her insights.
“Let’s wrap it up for today. Once I get the first draft done next week, we can set up another meeting to really dive into the details,” Sophia said.
Charlotte was honestly touched. She hadn’t expected Sophia to spend so much time helping her out.
She wanted to treat Sophia to dinner, but Sophia had other work lined up, so she turned her down nicely. Charlotte had nothing but good intentions toward Sophia. In fact, she found herself genuinely fond of her. Sophia had no clue that her actions today would one day earn her a powerful ally/
At Silvermoon Bay.
Sophia got off work early for a change, but when she got home, she remembered Grace had called her around noon. Turned out Irene wouldn’t be coming over this weekend, and Warren would be picking up Lucas to take him to Windmere Estate tonight.
Sophia knew exactly what Irene was up to. She’d been hinting at her and Easton having another baby for ages.
Sophia shook her head, chuckling to herself.
Easton got called out for a last-minute dinner meeting tonight. He gave her a call about half an hour ago, letting her know he’d be home late.
Sophia threw together a quick salad for herself and went up to the master bedroom on the second floor.
At ten that night, after her shower, Sophia slipped into a dark red satin camisole nightgown.
Her freshly washed hair was twisted into a loose bun at the nape of her neck, with a few wisps falling around her ears. She looked effortlessly alluring, a perfect mix of lazy elegance and beauty.
She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, carefully applying a seaweed mask to her face.
When Easton walked into the bedroom, Sophia had already heard him coming.
He slipped into the bathroom and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin in the crook of her neck.
His warm breath brushed against her skin as he murmured, “Mrs. Foster, you smell amazing.”
Sophia was already used to the way Easton liked to call her. He was always making her call him “husband” whenever they were in bed.
“Easton, I just showered! You come home all n Successfully unlocked! what was the point of my shower?” Sophia pouted, pretending to be annoyed.
Easton chuckled in a low voice, “Guess you’ll have to shower with me again, then.”
