"I ...... I ......" Sophie's face flushed and she subconsciously tried to nod her head.
But when she faced Stanley's cold gaze without a trace of emotion, she instantly sobered and lowered her head to reply in a small voice, "I didn't mean it."
Fraser snorted, "Hopefully you really don't, besides I'm telling you, whether Mr. Murphy loves his wife or not, you're not qualified to get involved as an outsider."
"I ...... I'm not an outsider!" Sophie said in a hurry.
Fraser was full of question.
She's not an outsider, is she an insider?
"I ...... I'm Mr. Murphy's savior. " Sophie gave Stanley a shy look.
Stanley's temples jutted as he finally opened his mouth, "If I could, I wouldn't want you to save me at all!"
"What?" The expression on Sophie's face froze and she looked at him incredulously, "No ...... ?"
How can he say that?
Does he know how much he hurt her by saying that?
"Your saving grace that caused my subordinates to search for me for days and not find me, your saving grace that almost caused the Murphy Group to be invaded by a foreign enemy, and most importantly, your saving grace that caused my wife to be stimulated to give birth prematurely after learning of my disappearance, and your saving grace that caused my little son to now only lie in an incubator, that, is your saving grace! "
Stanley gazed at Sophie and said several words in a row, causing her to back away with a pale face.
Seeing this, Fraser added, "So Sophie, do you still think now that you saved Mr. Murphy and really did a good deed?"
"I didn't know that what would happen when I saved you, I was just being nice, and without me, you ......
"If you hadn't appeared, I would have returned home long ago, and while you were saving me, my subordinates were already looking downstream, even without you, nothing would have happened to me, instead they would have found me soon, and my wife wouldn't have been irritated by learning I was missing!" Stanley cut off Sophie's words in a stern voice.
Sophie's legs went limp and she sat down directly on the ground, her face full of dumbfoundedness.
How could this happen!
She had obviously saved him with the best of intentions, so why in the end did he blame her for saving her, and even say that her saving her life was superfluous!
Seeming to see what was going through Sophie's mind, Fraser skimmed her lips and said, "Sophie, don't blame us for putting it so bluntly, because this is indeed the truth, your saving grace to Mr. Murphy has brought us trouble instead, and it's already reasonable of us to acknowledge your saving grace to Mr. Murphy now, do you understand?"
Sophie's eyelashes fluttered.
How could she possibly understand, how could she possibly want to understand?
All she knew was that they had vetoed her saving grace!
Sophie's body trembled slightly, unable to accept such an outcome.
Fraser pushed his glasses and added: "In fact, when you found Mr. Murphy, you immediately called the police, I think our attitude towards you is not so, but now there is no use talking about this. Sophie, I sincerely advise you, put away those thoughts you should not have, since in the work, then work well, or you will lose your job."
Hearing this, Sophie's heart thudded and she looked at Stanley.
Stanley didn't even look at her, but at the watch on his wrist with no expression, "Alright, Fraser, let's go."
"Yes." Fraser answered and followed behind him.
The two men left it at that.
Sophie was still standing in place and froze.
After a while, she suddenly crouched down on the floor and buried her head in the nest of her knees and cried.
It's too much, Stanley is really too much.
She saved him and came specifically to persuade him, all for his own good.
