After a while, Sophia walked out of the bathroom, dressed neatly.
She bumped into Jay.
They looked at each other, embarrassed.
With his eyes wide open, Jay was surprised to see the woman in Victor's house. Perhaps, the relationship between Sophia and Victor was deeper than he imagined.
Thinking of this, Jay could not help but look at her up and down in some vague way.
Although Sophia after freshening up, it was different from what she usually look in the company. Her dark brown hair was casually falling over her shoulders. She didn't wear any makeup and wore casual clothes. As a whole, she looked more pure and elegant than professional. She was really a stunner!
"No wonder Victor became impatient with me when I came here in the early morning. It turns out that he is trying to keep a mistress in his love house! You're so bad. You didn't tell me anything... "
Jay tried to ease the atmosphere and teased. He turned around and looked at Victor, with a little reproachful tone.
Instead of saying a word, Victor squinted at her, waiting for her explanation.
"Mr. Jay, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. The relationship between me and Mr. Victor is very simple. There is nothing else. It's not what you have imagined."
Sophia's slow voice, which carried politeness and respect, deliberately keeping a distance from the two men.
"You know what I'm thinking. How about you tell me?" Knowing that she would give him such an answer, Jay got excited and began to make fun of Sophia intentionally.
"I don't know. Please stop making fun of me, Mr. Jay."
Wearing a tired look, she didn't intend to talk to Jay.
Seeing Sophia's distant attitude, Jay's interest, which had just come to him, was swept away. So he quietly closed his mouth and didn't say anything else.
"Sophia, What's wrong? You look terrible."
Since Sophia walked out, Victor noticed that this woman was not in a good condition, and he was even more sure about this after she spoke.
But since Sophia had heard the conversation between the two men, she felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say to Victor.
"I didn't feel well. I might have caught a cold last night."
Sophia tried to sound calm.
Without a second thought, Victor said in a soft tone, "then you can stay at home for a day instead of going to work."
Then Zelda came out of the kitchen with three bowls of sparerib soup.
"Mr. Jay, you haven't had breakfast yet, have some food? It's good for your stomach."
The three sat in the dining room, each having their own business in mind, enjoying the soup. The whole room was filled with the sound of spoon spooning soup.
Jay broke the silence first.
"Vic, you look great!"
After giving a glance at Jay who was sitting opposite him, Victor continued to drink the soup, ignoring him. With his eyes closed, he knew what Jay was going to say.
"Vic, this is not normal. You don't talk to each other at home, do you?"
"Mr. Jay, what's wrong with you?"
"Finish the soup and go to work."
Instead of answering Jay, Victor urged him to leave.
Sophia on the other side felt bitter in her heart. She pretended not to hear their conversation and continued to drink the soup.
Looking at the Sophia and Victor in front of him, Jay could not understand how they got along with each other. He shouted in his heart, 'shit.' So Jay lowered his head and continued enjoying his meal.
After a while, Zelda came to clean up the table.
"Zelda, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are a good cook!"
Jay was a chatterbox. As soon as he saw Zelda enter the dining room, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw, which grasped her firmly.
Hearing what Jay said, Zelda was delighted and said, "Mr. Jay, you are still so glib tongued!"
Xiao family and Ji family were old family friends. Zelda, who had worked for Xiao family for a long time, had watched Jay grow up.
"Well, Zelda." Victor asked abruptly.
Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Zelda was about to leave. She turned around and looked at Victor.
"Make some nutritious food for Miss Sophia when it's time for lunch. She caught a cold last night." Victor said indifferently.
Sophia got a little surprised. She even doubted if she had heard it wrong. Did this man care about her? All of a sudden, she regretted her attitude towards him before, but thinking of what had happened, she was particularly contradictory...
"Okay, Mr. Victor, don't worry."
It wasn't easy for Victor to get everything done, so he said to Jay, "go to work."
After making some simple preparations, they set out.
