Sophia reflected and agreed, just felt sorry for Jeremy, "What a nice man! But cheated by his wife. What will he do if he knows the truth?"
"None of our business." Elena laughed. She had no sympathy for him. He deserved what he got now. "Anyway, you haven’t eaten anything, right? It’s my treat!"
"Thank you!" Sophia grinned and put away the recorder.
After the meal, Sophia received a call from the newspaper office which urged her to came back. Therefore, Sophia had to say goodbye to Elena. She hadn’t gone far and suddenly turned around, "Right! I almost forgot I didn't get my idol's signature yet. Get that for me, please!"
Elena was surprised and then she remembered she did promise her. But she had completely forgot now.
"No problem. I am gonna get that for you tonight. And I’ll bring it to you next time."
"Wow! You are my angel!" Sophia throw herself to Elena, and gave her a big kiss on her cheek. Then she got in the taxi.
Elena watched the car vanishing and couldn’t help grinning. It was already in the afternoon. Elena was making a decision: whether she should rest at home as Jacob said or go directly to the company.
Just while thinking, Elena felt someone patted her on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Caroline standing right behind her. How came? She was supposed to leave with Emma.
"Elena, do you have time? We need to talk."
Caroline never left a good impression on Elena. So she declined with no hesitation, "Sorry, I don't have time."
"Wait!" Caroline rushed to her and stopped her, "Don’t you want to know what Emma and I were talking?"
"You are friends. Why are you telling me this?" Elena thought it was Emma’s trap again. She just looked at Caroline in doubts.
"Friends? We were in the past, but not any longer. Now she is eager to get rid of me. However, she can’t. Because I know her secret. And I’m determined to take this chance and earn a fortune! "
"Now I get it. You think Emma is useless to you, therefore you come to me? To make a deal?"
"Exactly! I like dealing with smart people like you!" Caroline was delighted.
Elena interrupted her and looked at her with irony, "Caroline, I never agree I will work with you. "
"What do you mean? You don't want to know Emma’s secret? Aren’t you two enemies? She has always wanted to ruin you!" But why did Elena reject her? She should felt lucky and take this chance to destroy Emma once for all!
"As I said, I have no interest!" The next moment, Elena just ignored her and was ready to leave. But Caroline chased after her and stopped her once again.
"I know. You are afraid I am gonna ask too much, aren't you? Well, you don't have to. I only want one hundred thousand..."
"Caroline, if you don't understand English, I suggest you should go back to school and relearn it. But I definitely don’t want to repeat what I just said. Bye!" Elena pushed Caroline away and just left.
