"You can take the order. I'm not very hungry." Sophia's words sounded somewhat absent-minded. Somehow, when she sat in the dining room with Jeremy, she couldn't help thinking of Victor. There was even a sense of guilt in her heart.
Now she had made a clean relationship with Victor and she knew that she could no longer fall in love with another man. But now she was having dinner with a man other than Victor, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She felt like she was a woman in a relationship and dated another man behind Victor's back.
During the meal, Jeremy wanted to talk to Sophia, but Sophia was all casual. She nodded and said, "okay." In fact, Sophia was as if sitting on pins and needles. She had been praying in her heart that she could finish this meal soon.
After a long time, Jeremy quietly put down the knife and fork in his hand and said sadly, "Sophia, do you feel uncomfortable when you talk to me? You can't talk to me in a casual way."
Sophia wanted to deny, but she couldn't control herself. Struggling for a moment, she raised a polite smile at the corners of her mouth. "Eat it. After eating, I'll pick up clothes for you."
Jeremy's heart sank. She just wanted to go back as soon as possible.
…… When Sophia and Jeremy got out of the restaurant, the whole city was enveloped in the darkness. The signboard of all kinds of stores had been changed into colorful neon lights, and the whole street seemed exceptionally colorful.
Jeremy drove his car to a fancy hall that specialized in customized suit. The building avoided the most bustling street in S City and stood at a small street not far from here with fewer people and people. It was an independent three floor building, staying here quietly, watching the people coming and going every day.
From the outside, the decoration of this hall was very stylish. It was not luxurious, but it was full of petty ideas. The gray exterior brick was low-key but full of European style.
The moment Jeremy and Jeremy walked in, a waiter greeted Jeremy politely.
"This is owned by one of my friends who were studying fashion design abroad. Although he is young, he has won many international fashion awards. Becoming a world-class designer at the age of 28. "
Jeremy introduced to Sophia as he walked into the hall.
A man's voice came into their ears.
"Jeremy, I've been waiting for you."
A tall man appeared in front of Sophia. The man's skin was bronze like and his facial features were outstanding. His whole body gave people a feeling of toughness and firmness. He was a man full of vigor and vitality. If Jeremy hadn't introduced him, Sophia would have thought this man was a famous model. The male designer in her impression, after all, looked quite feminine.
Thinking of this, Sophia smiled shyly.
"Who is this?" The man noticed Sophia and asked Jeremy doubtfully.
Jeremy hurried to introduce, "it's Sophia, Miss Sophia. This is my friend, Jack."
That was when Jake realized that Jeremy wasn't a womanizer, but Jeremy called him this morning to pick clothes for the party. Now here came the impressive beauty. She must hold a special place in Jeremy's heart.
Sophia nodded and shook hands with him. She felt even more uncomfortable being stared at by Jack's eyes. She turned her head and looked at the clothes beside her.
"These are all the latest summer fashion of this year. Some days ago, they were released at the Paris Fashion Week simultaneously." Introduced jack, and continued leading the two people inside.
"This is the men's design. I haven't released it yet. You've come at the right time." Jake and Jeremy were good friends, they could joke about it. Jake glanced again at Sophia beside him, and felt a strange atmosphere between the two. Jake said, "you can stay here and see. I have something to do."
Sophia was finally relieved to see Jack leave. From the moment she saw Jake, she had a feeling of being seen through. The awkwardness and depression made Sophia a little difficult to breathe. She could be sure that Jack had misunderstood something between her and Jeremy.
Sophia looked at Jeremy, and then looked at these exquisite suits on the table. It suddenly occurred to her that she had promised Jeremy before. She must finish this task as soon as possible. Her instinct told her that she shouldn't stay here any longer!
Although Jeremy's stature and appearance were not as perfect as Victor, Jeremy's 1.88 meters figure could be a clothes shelf, and he looked modest as well. He was a man of elegance.
"Jeremy, it's just a piece of cake for me to help you choose clothes. But the price of this present has already exceeded the value I gave you, so I can't accept it." Sophia said in a firm tone.
Jeremy gave a wry smile. Before he prepared this gift, he had thought it through thousands of times. It's all the reactions of Sophia. So he was not surprised that she refused him. On the contrary, he admired her more.
"If you don't accept it, I owe you a favor. What I hate most is to owe others. And I truely treat you as a friend. This small gift is a token of my regard. I didn't tell you in the shop just now because I was afraid that you would turn me down. I didn't expect... "
Jeremy looked at the new customized hall and said with a bitter smile, "Sophia, if you also take me as your friend, you should accept this gift. Otherwise, I can't find you in the future. Or, you don't like this gift?"
Jeremy looked at Sophia and said seriously.
Sophia felt uneasy under his gaze. She hesitated for a moment and said, "okay. I accept this gift. But don't send other gifts to me any more."
Jeremy smiled and nodded to agree. Jeremy's black car drove away in the bustling street...
Time flied. It was the hottest time in summer. The scorching sun scorched the asphalt road outside. It seemed that walking barefooted could easily burn a layer of skin off. The cicadas beside the windows made people feel restless.
During this period, Victor didn't have any social engagements. Instead, he sat in the office and concentrated on the documents in front of him. Sophia was quietly waiting for his orders.
Sophia looked at the man in front of her with bright eyes. Although he had been working all the time and didn't even have time to talk to her, she was already satisfied and happy to be with him. This office belonged to only Victor and Sophia. It seemed to be isolated from everything outside.
Sophia picked up a pile of documents on the table and tried her best to help Victor reduce his pressure.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Sophia's thought.
