In the office of Zed, Teresa was waiting for the time on her cell phone and brooding over a plan.
It was almost time to get off work. With her understanding of Sophia, Sophia was so excited that she would finish all the work ahead of time and then go to the place where the classes would start. Teresa could not help but recall Sophia's unrestrained smile yesterday, and the love between Sophia and Victor in front of her...
Teresa couldn't help but stamp on her high heels. Then there was a crisp clash in the quiet office. A sudden noise startled Zed, who was concentrating on reading files. He looked up at Teresa in surprise and asked, "what's wrong, Teresa?"
Only then did Teresa realize that she was being impolite. She patted her tender face and pretended to be tired, saying, "nothing, I'm just a little tired after working all afternoon."
Hearing that, Zed picked up Teresa's cup and was about to get up, saying gently, "then I'll get you a glass of water. You don't have to work anymore. Get up and exercise yourself."
Fixing her eyes on the documents on the desk of Zed, Teresa asked, "Zed, are these documents you're going to take to Victor?"
With some tiredness in his tone, Zed continued, "yes, I've worked for the whole afternoon. It is almost done." He began to take over some of the company's business. Although he was not so good at doing it, he was still learning slowly.
Hearing that, an idea suddenly came to Teresa's mind. She said in a sweet voice, "Zed, after all, I don't have anything to do now. Can I help you send these documents to Victor's office?"
Frustrated, Zed thought that Teresa was trying to get close to Victor. Reluctantly, he said, "it's almost time to get off work, Teresa. Don't worry about these documents. They will be sent to Victor tomorrow. Besides, Victor isn't in his office today..."
Teresa felt happy at once and said, "it doesn't matter, Zed. I will send these documents to Sophia." Noticing that there was still some embarrassment on Zed's face, she said in a coquettish manner, "please let me go, Zed. I want to help you do something..."
As Zed couldn't stand the persuading from Teresa, he had to nod in agreement. After checking the time, it was still five minutes before getting off work. Teresa rushed to the office of Victor with the thick papers on Zed's desk.
Looking at the three centimeter thick file in Teresa's hand, an air of complacency arose spontaneously. Since Victor wasn't in the company, she could temporarily trapped in Sophia with those documents. As long as Teresa stayed by Sophia's side and kept an eye on all these documents, Sophia would be late for her class. It must be hard for Sophia to miss this lecture.
Thinking about that, Teresa walked to the door of Victor's office. She gently knocked on the door, and there came Sophia's clear voice, "come in."
Teresa walked into the office and thought, 'it sounds that Sophia is supposed to be happy, but she won't be so happy later!'
Sophia raised her head and saw Teresa. She was surprised, but still asked calmly, "what's up? Why do you come here all of a sudden?"
Teresa put the pile of documents on Sophia's clean desk. She said apologetically, "this file was just made by Zed. I've sent it to Mr. Leon and he asked me to send it to you before."
Sophia got the document which was put down by Teresa. She sorted it out and said, "okay. I'll check it tomorrow after I come to work." Then Sophia grabbed her handbag from the table and got up to leave.
Holding Sophia's hand, Teresa said anxiously, "Sophia, Mr. Leon just asked you to go through all these documents now!" She paused for a while and continued, "do you have something else to do later? I'm sorry that I didn't inform you in advance..."
Then Sophia briefly picked up the documents she had just collected and scanned the first few pages. Trying to be patient, she said to Teresa, "these documents are not urgent. I can read them tomorrow. I will talk to Leon and tell him about it. Don't worry!"
Teresa didn't expect that Sophia would be so difficult to get. Teresa became extremely anxious and her tears was about to fall. She struggled and said, "but..."
At the same time, the office door was pushed open and Leon walked in. He seemed to have something to tell Victor and said, "Victor, about tomorrow's meeting..."
