Replacement Bride Left With His Baby (Sophia and Easton) novel Chapter 85

85.Chapter 85

“Emily, keep an eye on things here. Just call me if anything pops up,” Sophia told her. With that, she stung her bag over her shoulder and headed out.

Easton watched as Sophia rushed out of the conference room, a frown tugging at his brow in obvious irritation.

Gordon, acting like he had work on his mind, strolled over to Emily. “Hey, is Ms. Roth skipping dinner tonight, too? She looked like she was in a real hurry.”

Emily shot an unconscious glance at Easton at the head of the table. “Sorry, Ms. Roth’s got something urgent tonight and can’t make it.” After saying that, she grabbed her files and headed off with the clerk toward the main hall.

Gordon walked up to Easton. “Mr. Foster, the restaurant’s been booked. Should we head out?”

Easton got up, buttoned his suit jacket, clearly unhappy. “Just go represent me tonight. I’ve got something to handle,” he said, sounding indifferent.

Gordon watched Easton stride away, looking utterly confused. ‘Well, you’re the boss. Whatever you say goes, Gordon thought to himself.

Sophia made her way to the parking lot to get her car.

“Ms. Roth, fancy running into you again,” a voice called out.

Sophia looked up and saw two men standing by her car-one of them was Nicolas. Her gaze instantly turned icy. She ignored him and reached for her car door.

Nicolas stepped forward, stopping her from getting into her car, his eyes lingering on her outfit. “Ms. Roth, you look stunning. Honestly, your figure could give any celebrity or model a run for their money. Every time I see you, you just blow me away.

“So, how about having dinner with me tonight?” Before he could finish, he reached out to grab her.

Sophia slapped his hand away. “Nicolas, I’m warning you. Stay the hell away from me.”

Seeing Sophia get angry only made Nicolas want her even more. He smirked. “Why would I stay away when I came here just for you?” With that, he took a step closer to her.

Just then, a black Bentley pulled up beside Sophia’s car. The door swung open, and Frank immediately got out, grabbing Nicolas and pulling him away from her. “Sophia, are you okay?” Frank hurried over and steadied Sophia, worry etched on his face.

Sophia shook her head.

“And just who do you think you are, shoving me like that?” Nicolas barked, his assistant catching him as he strode forward, anger written all over his face.

Frank moved in without backing down, eyes icy. “Nicolas, what do you think you’re trying to pull here?”

The assistant hustled to Nicolas’s side and whispered urgently, “Mr. Weston, that’s Frank from the Hayes family. Seems he and Ms. Roth know each other. Maybe we should back off.”

Nicolas shook off his assistant and slowly smoothed out his jacket, lips curled into a cold smile. “Oh, it’s Mr. Hayes. I’ve heard plenty about you. Since Ms. Roth is meeting you tonight, I suppose our dinner will have to wait.”

Even as he spoke, Nicolas’s gaze lingered on Sophia, the taunting smile never leaving his face.

Frank waited until Nicolas and his crew had driven off, and then turned around and spotted that Sophia’s shirt had gotten smudged.

He immediately shrugged off his own jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders, his tone soft and caring. Hey, let me drive you home. Just pass me your car keys. My driver can handle the rest,” Frank said, full of

concern.

Sophia nodded, handing him the keys.

Just as Easton came down from the conference room upstairs, he saw Frank helping Sophia into the car and noticed she had a man’s suit jacket draped over her shoulders.

Easton’s face turned stormy, jaw clenched tight, and behind those eyes, jealousy and fierce emotions were raging out of control.
