"No way!" Rita shook off Sophia idea. "S City is big. But there are so many people going shopping. What if my fan recognize me? I have to keep a good image, image! " As Rita spoke, she straightened her back and adjusted her sunglasses. Then she strode forward confidently.
Sophia looked Rita and shook her head. It seemed that it was not easy to be a star. Rita needed to consider all kinds of possibilities of meeting her fans before going shopping.
It was lunch time. Rita and Sophia chose a western restaurant to have lunch. To have a quite meal, Rita reluctantly took Sophia to the innermost, and sat in an extremely inconspicuous seat.
Rita called the waitress to order and she happened to be one of Rita's fans. The girl was so excited to see her and asked for her autograph. Rita immediately adjusted herself to a tender goddess. She smiled and signed for the waitress.
Looking at the waitress leaving happily, Sophia shook head one after another, and said half-jokingly, "look, this is the public criticism. You have to be careful on everything."
"Hello!" Rita frowned and pretended to retort angrily, "Aren't you a public figure?" Rita replied as she shook the cover of the entertainment magazine. There was a picture of Sophia and Victor in it.
When Sophia saw the magazine, she thought about how bossy Victor was. He propped his hand against the table and claimed that he was the man she loved. Thinking of this, she blushed and gave a broad smile.
Rita frowned and sighed. She cupped her chin in one hand and shook her head to tease Sophia, "it's over. Sophia, you are hopeless. You are the kind of woman that is often said to be in love, and your IQ is low. Look at the lewd smile on your face when I mentioned Victor. "
Surprised by Sophia's words, Sophia instantly felt embarrassed. She widened her eyes and snapped back, "you are that the pot calls the kettle black! Think about it. When you have time you can't wait to find Leon in the YS Group."
When it came to Leon, Rita lowered her head with a blush. She didn't talk too much, but just smiled sweetly. Perhaps everyone had such a person in their heart. Only by mentioning it, they would feel heartbeats like thunder, and only blushed.
Sophia handed a piece of mirror to Rita and giggled, "look at yourself? How dare you make fun of me! "
"Sophia, you don't know Leon. He is a man who doesn't pay much attention to dignity. Besides, he is sharp tongued. But he is a man in crucial time," Rita commented. Rita recalled Leon's handsome face with a smile.
"How handsome is he?" Sophia asked curiously, smiling ambiguously. Since Leon had lost his temper because of Rita's scandal last time, Sophia knew that Rita meant a lot to Leon. Leon would do anything for Rita's sake.
"The time when my gossip came out..." "Forget it. Why should I tell you? I have to take my time to recall it. "
Seeing this, Sophia wanted to ask Rita. But right then, the phone rang. Then Sophia took out her phone, and the smile on her face faded away when she saw the name on the screen. Her eyes became colder. It was Jenny.
"Hello, it's Sophia." After a brief moment of hesitation, Sophia on the other end of the line answered the phone. There was no emotion in her words.
"Sister. I saw you and your boyfriend on a magazine. Congratulations! " Jenny's coquettish voice came through on the phone.
It was so ironic to hear Jenny call her sister. From the day Sophia came to Jian family, both Jenny and her mother did not have much room for her. They always looked for every opportunity to tease Sophia and try to kick her out. Sophia was not only embarrassed by Jenny, but Jenny also joined hands with Teresa to spread the gossips about Sophia. Why did Jenny pretend to be her sister now?
"What's up? Are you calling me just to congratulate me? " Sophia didn't want to tangle with Jenny.
"I really congratulate you, sister. Why do you speak to me in this way?" Jenny said in an aggrieved tone.
Sophia thought it was kind of funny. Sometimes, she really felt that Jenny looked like Teresa when she pretended to be pitiful. Compared to Sophia, Jenny was more like the younger sister of Teresa. "If you have anything to say to me, just say it. I'm having lunch outside with my friend now and I don't have time to chat with you."
Jenny knew it very well that if she wanted Sophia to take Victor with her, Sophia would get intrigued. It was easy to guess Sophia. Sophia only wanted to be Victor's side in front of everyone. She wanted to make it for Sophia. But Jenny was sure that the higher Sophia fell, the more painful Sophia felt. It meant that Jenny wanted Sophia to climb up the wall deftly and proudly, and then push Sophia into the abyss when she climbed to the highest, which would make her doomed!
When Rita noticed that Sophia on the other end of the line answered the phone, Sophia kept a straight face. Then she hung up the phone and sighed. Rita knew that this call must be from someone Sophia didn't like very much, so Rita cautiously asked, "who is calling you? I heard you mentioning Peter. Who is he? "
"It's Jenny. It's my sister. She said she was going to be engaged, with Peter. Peter is my ex-boyfriend. Jenny took him from me. Jenny called me to attend her engagement ceremony. " Sophia picked the highlights and made Jenny's point in a few words and the complicated relationship between them. After that, she threw up her hands.
"Then what are you going to do? Just refuse! Or you will be very embarrassed. You and Victor are on good terms. The media is full of positive comments. If anyone knows that you went to their engagement party, you will get yourself in trouble. " Rita replied, "your sister is obviously ill intentioned. She had spread about your negative news with Teresa before. There must be some plot this time! Listen to me, you can't go there! "
"But..." After a brief pause, Sophia said, "but, Jenny asked me to go with Victor. Rita, I know you're doing this for my own good. In fact, I don't know why Jenny asked me to go. I know that she's waiting for me to get hooked, perhaps because she's not well intentioned. But I want to go there. I want to stand beside Victor and appear in public. I want people know that I am Victor's girlfriend. "
Rita was surprised. She couldn't understand Sophia's feeling. According to what Rita thought, as long as they could be together well, did it really matter that what others thought and recognized? Sophia always felt inferior when she was with Victor. The better Victor was to her, the more self-abased she would be. But Rita also knew that as a popular star, she couldn't understand what was in Sophia's mind. It would harm Sophia if Rita spoke without thinking, so she'd better keep silent.
After their lunch, Rita asked, "what do you plan to do next?"
"I just sent Victor a message on wechat. He said he would pick me up." Said Sophia with a smile.
"Okay, you can have a good time. I have to spoil my Leon! " Rita replied with a playful smile.
With a frown, Connie sat on the couch with a magazine in her hand. The magazine was filled with a mixture of funny stories of Victor and Sophia. When Connie read the content that praised Sophia, she threw the magazine aside furiously.
