Chapter 120
Sophie put down her phone hard in the dressing room. Looking at herself gritting her teeth in the mirror, her female intuition of danger became more and more suspicious.
Edward had been too cold to her recently. In the past, they had only treated each other as guests. They were not intimate, but he would not reject her too obviously. Now, he felt like he was about to get rid of her and turn around to break up with her. He had someone in his heart!
What exactly went wrong?
Just by relying on Yvonne?
Sophie gradually clenched her fists, and there was a flash of terrible cruelty in her eyes.
The door of the dressing room was opened, and someone came in to make up. Sophie turned her head and looked over. Her lips, covered with gorgeous lipstick, curved into a sinister sneer. "Please go out first. I want to use it alone." The woman soon went out. Under the white light, Sophie's smile looked weird and scary. It was better to avoid more trouble. There was no need to fight.
Sophie's beautiful face was gloomy. She opened her lipstick and applied a layer of gorgeous red on her lips. The nail polish on her fingers was also bright red. She liked red very much. Dressed in a tight black skirt and black stiletto heels, she looked enchanting and sexy, different from her usual elegant image as a principal.
After putting on makeup, Sophie left the dressing room with her branded bag and gracefully went back to the room with her best friend.
Last night, the group of men and women had a good time in the bar. They didn't leave until dawn. Now they came here in the morning to drink tea and sober up.
Sophie liked to soak in it, but she rarely indulged herself in it because she wanted to maintain the image of a noble lady in front of her father.
The room was filled with smoke, and her best friend was smoking while leaning against a carved mahogany chair. She asked Sophie, "Are we done with each other, Mr. Hales?"
Sophie put down her bag and sat down. She said angrily, "Don't mention it. He has been very cold recently. He hung up after talking for only five minutes. He doesn't even want to be perfunctory. There must be a woman outside!" Her best friend immediately thought of the person closest to her. "Is it Yvonne? The whole circle knows that she has chased Mr. Hales. She rarely sees such a shameless woman. I'm almost naked and sent her to C."
Sophie's heavily made-up face was full of jealousy and hatred. Last time, Yvonne had demonstrated her power in the WeChat circle and openly wanted to steal her man. Many young ladies in the circle were waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Now that Yvonne was still a female secretary, the chance for them to get along with each other had increased greatly. It posed a great threat to her. Needless to say, there was no need to talk about the tricks in it! "Do you want to find someone to set her up?" Her best friend offered to plot against her. She had a thought similar to a rich man. In their circle, nine out of ten women wanted to hook up with Edward. Naturally, she could not let Yvonne suddenly jump out and take all the benefits.
"No need. She won't be able to show off for long." Sophie sneered in her heart. "She looks down on her best friend. What? Too stupid and stupid. How can a woman not understand a woman's schemes? She must not let go of her rival in love!"
Her best friend was smoking, and the smell of cigarettes in the room annoyed Sophie. She scolded him unhappily, "Stop smoking, I'm dyed with the smell of cigarettes, pinch it!"
Her best friend put out the cigarette with her fingers, and hatred flashed under her eyes. She said with a smile, "What are you going to do? Even if you can't show off, it won't be easy for Young Mr. Hales to change his mind." Sophie glanced at her. "What do you mean?"
Her best friend explained, "A man's change of heart is like an itch for Nathan. He won't like you if you don't cry or make a scene. It's hard to maintain a good relationship, and you may break up with him. What's more, there are many women around Mr. Hales who have sacrificed themselves. You are at a disadvantage now."
Sophie was not happy that she was defeated, and she felt more dangerous. "But he went on a business trip, and I can't do anything."
Her best friend sat upright and said with a smile, "Go find him. You've traveled so far to find him by plane. No matter what, he won't drive you away. When a man is tired of work and social activities, he needs a woman's comfort most. Instead of letting him vent his anger on a hotel lady, why don't you do it yourself?"
Sophie also wanted to have sex with Edward. No matter how messy she played in the bar, many men showed their kindness to her, which was only second to touching each other's body. There was no last step, and she was still a virgin. The man she wanted the most was Edward. He was handsome and sexy, tall and muscular. He had fantasized many times, strong and wild. Other men were not as good as this man.
"He won't touch me." This was the question that bothered her the most.
Her best friend laughed in her heart. "If you don't touch it, add some medicine to boost your enthusiasm. When you dress better, Liu Xiahui will be unable to control it. It's natural that C. If you are lucky enough, you will be pregnant once. He can't shirk his responsibility. Isn't it a smooth way to get married?"
Sophie's face suddenly darkened. Her best friend's words had hit her sore spot. Outsiders didn't know that she couldn't give birth. Even if she had sex with Edward a hundred times, her belly wouldn't respond!
She couldn't use the method of getting married. If she used medicine and Edward to seduce him, he would be even more annoyed. Without a child as a bargaining chip, he wouldn't be so easily responsible!
However, it was true that Sophie did have an idea to go over to Edward. It was a good opportunity for her to cultivate feelings with him, so she could not use the medicine that could cheer him up. However, if he was drunk, he would naturally go C with her, and his nature would be different.
Sophie had an idea in her mind. She drank a cup of tea and asked her best friend, "I heard that your father arranged for you to go on a blind date on the weekend. Who is his girlfriend?"
Her best friend smiled and said, "Jordan, the Crown Prince of the Haleston City Hotel. He has begun to take over the family business recently, and his value has increased many times. I wanted to lure him to the party last time to see if he can succeed this time."
Jordan... Sophie had a little impression of him. He seemed to be a high school classmate of Nelissa and Han Penelope.

After leaving the high-class teahouse.
Sophie got in the car, and the driver took her home. On the way, she called her assistant and told him to book her the earliest flight to Bekki.
Soon, her assistant called her back. She had booked a flight ticket for the flight at four o'clock this afternoon.
Sophie hung up the phone and took the delicate makeup mirror to remove her makeup in the car. She was thinking about what she should dress up for tonight to meet Edward and give him a surprise.
He didn't want to be perfunctory with her, but she insisted on pestering him!
When they got off work.
Nelissa finished a day's worth of work and prepared to go to the hospital to look for Alex. Since she had already reached an agreement with Jolene, he didn't mind. She didn't want to miss the time to treat her mother, so she wanted to find Alex as soon as possible to confirm the medical plan. After that, she would make plans.
Jolene had some personal matters to attend to, so he had to work a little longer. Nelissa didn't have time to go to the kindergarten to pick him up from school for Nathan. The road to the kindergarten and to the Jung Hospital weren't connected, so it would take a few hours of traveling.
Nelissa had no choice but to call the teacher in the kindergarten and tell him that she would be late to pick up the child from school. She would have to check out first and wait for Jolene to finish his work before she could pick him up. Mr. Noelle said that there was no problem. She would take good care of the child.
That was exactly what a private school should be like. It was very safe and the parents could rest assured.
Nelissa tidied up her desk and informed Jolene before leaving the company for the hospital.
Although Jolene really wanted to go with him to see Nelissa's mother, it was inconvenient for her to go there because of Alex into him in the hospital. He felt a little sorry for her.
Nelissa told Jolene not to take it to heart. It didn't matter. Her mother was still in a coma. She didn't know who was coming and who was leaving. It was fine as long as she was considerate. She knew that Jolene was very kind to her. By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was already completely dark.
Nelissa got out of the car, went to the hospital, and went upstairs to look for Alex into him. He was having a meeting with other doctors. She went to her mother's ward to wait for him, and it took her more than an hour.

After the meeting, Alex learned that Nelissa had come to him, so he went to Sonya's ward with several doctors to discuss the patient's condition. Nelissa stood aside and could not interrupt because she did not understand. She could only listen quietly.
Several doctors couldn't come up with a satisfactory result. They frowned and went out. There were only Sonya, Alex and Nelissa in the ward.
Alex turned around and said to Nelissa, "My master is in Bekki now. I'll invite him to join us. Also, I want to know what kind of person you are, Miss Quest."
Nelissa blinked and replied, "My family."
Gu tension glanced at Nelissa and asked, "What family member?"
Nelissa raised her eyebrows without saying anything.
Alex said indifferently, "With all due respect, my father and Miss Quest are friends. She has a daughter and an official son-in-law. I don't understand why you, a 'family member', are her guardians."
Nelissa lowered her eyes and looked at Sonya, who was lying on the bed. She stroked her wrinkled skin with her fingers and felt distressed. "Sonya has adopted an adopted daughter."
Alex was rather surprised. Something he had never heard of before. "Are you her adopted daughter?"
Nelissa did not admit it, nor did she deny it. She looked at Alex and said with a faint smile, "I just want her to wake up as soon as possible. The doctor only needs to know more about the patient's condition, not her family situation. I am her legal family member with no malice. Why do you ask too much?"
Alex looked at Nelissa. He found that Nelissa's temperament was very prominent, which was different from that of women from ordinary families. He was not difficult to deal with. For him, although there were many doubts, he only cared about medicine and Jolene.
"This is my phone number." Before Alex off, he handed his business card to Nelissa. "Tell Jolene that my phone number hasn't changed. She can look for me at any time."
Nelissa accepted the business card. She didn't know that Jolene couldn't call her, but she would definitely have a close relationship with him. After all, he was her mother's attending doctor.
She saved Alex's phone number.
After leaving the hospital, she had to take a bus to save money. Although Alex was responsible for Sonya's medical expenses, Nelissa was still uncertain. It was the most important thing to save money. If she had the ability, she did not want others to pay for her.
The money was saved up little by little, and she would give it back to Alex one day!
When they got home, Jolene had been waiting for them for Nathan. He also took a shower and was cooking in the kitchen. Fortunately, it was the weekend holiday tomorrow, so he was not tired at all. He could rest tomorrow.
