Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

Sophia assumed that anyone who could enter this restaurant was either wealthy or from a well-known family.
Otherwise, it was unreasonable for the waitress downstairs to stop her and order her around.
Despite the waitress's politeness in addressing them as Sir and Ma'am, she still dared to order her a while ago, probably
because the waitress saw her casual attire.
Sophia felt that she has lowered Brandonr’s level as a result of this.Maybe if Brandon showed up on his own, the treatment
would undoubtedly be different.
Brandon approached Sophia and gently caressed Typhon, who was in her arms.As Brandon caressed the dog's head, it tilted
slightly.
After a while, Brandon felt a piercing gaze from behind him.
When Brandon turned around, he saw Patrick staring at them.
As if he didn't see anything, Brandon turned back to Sophia and wrapped his arm around her back.
If this movement could be seen from afar, it would appear that Brandon was embracing a woman's waist warmly and
possessively.
The woman, on the other hand, had her head lowered and a smile hung on her lips.
John followed behind Patrick and witnessed everything.
Logically speaking, Patrick would definitely feel uncomfortable when he saw his ex-wife hugging another man.
This was a perfectly natural reaction.
As a man, how could he not have any feelings for the woman he once had? However, judging from the expression on Patrick's
face that instantly darkened, the situation that he had just witnessed was extremely uncomfortable for him.
After Brandon and Sophia returned from a business trip to Hillwood City, Brandon admitted that there was something going on
them, but Patrick still refused to accept it.
After following Brandon for a long time, as long as he was not blind, he could see his peculiarity.

Patrick stayed for a few seconds before heading down to the other corridor.
Sophia had been minding her own business the entire time, entirely oblivious to what had just happened.
Sophia's phone vibrated twice while they waited for the meal to serve.
Because the private room was quiet, the vibration from the phone could easily be heard.
Sophia took out her cell phone from her bag.She saw a short message in her inbox.
It was from Patrick.
"What is it?" Brandon asked Sophia.
Sophia pressed her phone screen a few times before deleting the message she had just seen.
Then she put her phone back in her bag.
Brandon was intrigued by her hesitation and asked, "Who is it?"
"It was just a spam text message” I want to scold the sender, but I don't see the point in wasting my time to send back a reply to
him"
Brandon smiled as he said, "It really is a typical Sophia's style"
In a private room not far from them, Patrick was discussing a collaboration with a few foreign shopping mall owners.
Patrick was the same as he had been in the past when negotiating.He was professional, calm, and responded promptly to every
question.
However, it was noticeable tonight that he was not as focused as he had been in the fast.
He would lower his head from time to time and frequently take out his phone to glance at it.
Some of the businessmen around him were clever people, and they all simply smiled.They said nothing in response to Patrick's
behavior.
Men were often more thorough and rational than women when it came to technical matters.

But of course, a woman with capability was not someone who should be ignored.
Especially a woman who could read the mood.
Everyone understood that President Evans was in this state because the excitement hadn't worn off just yet.
Two hours hds passed by the time the meeting ended.
Several businessmen shook Patrick's hand and said their goodbyes before getting into their cars.
As he sat in the back seat, Patrick drank some wine and became dizzy.
Then Patrick asked himself, ‘Why didn't I drink much tonight?’
Didn't he agree that everyone should become drunk if they weren't drunk just yet? John waited for Patrick to sit down before
starting the car.
At the same moment, another car drove away from the parking spot next to them.It was Brandon's car.
"Do you want to follow?" John inquired when he saw it.
Patrick instructed, "Follow them and see where they are heading!"
The man in the back seat massaged his brows as he spoke with a hoarse voice.
It was not until they saw the car in front of them driving into the area where Sophia resided that Patrick signaled to John that he
might proceed in the direction of his apartment.
Sophia returned to her house.
When she pushed the door open, she saw Fiona and Emma were seated on the sofa.
She had no idea what they were studying with their heads lowered as the two of them kept on arguing.
Fiona mumbled to herself, ‘Why are we even fighting over this?’
"It's wrong for you to argue like this, Aunt Fiona.This is a leaf, and a leaf can't be yellow." Emma replied.
Emma pointed to the side, where there was a complete photo of a jigsaw puzzle.

The leaf she was pointing at was indeed green.
Sophia put down Typhoon and moved closer.
It turned out that they were both occupied with a jigsaw puzzle.
The sudden appearance of Fiona and Emma did not surprise Sophia.
During these past few years, she and Fiona had nearly confided everything that happened throughout their lives to each other.
Sophia had the key to Fiona’s house, and Fiona had the key to Sophia's house as well.
It was just that these days, she was really thankful to Fiona.
She would not have gotten her overtime pay back then if Fiona didn't assist her in taking care of Emma.
Fiona pretended to be deep in thought by slightly turning her head.
She was taken aback when she noticed someone.
"Hey, you scared me to death; when did you come back, and why didn't you make any noise?" Fiona inquired.
Emma turned around and saw that it was her mother.She dashed over in a hurry.
Emma exclaimed excitedly, "Mom, you're finally back!"
"As expected, she's your biological child” Fiona sighed, "but this treatment is truly too different."
Sophia smiled, but she continued to listen to Fiona.
"Your young lady has been talking to me for a long time tonight, and she said she missed you and that she will come back to the
amusement park no matter what.I couldn't stand it any longer, so I brought her back."
Sophia lifted Emma up and sat down on the sofa, feeling somewhat guilty in her heart as she said, "When Mommy is free for a
while, I'll take you to the amusement park to play"
Emma nodded and fell asleep quickly in her mother's arms.
Sophia returned to the sofa after settling Emma and stared at Fiona, who was still attempting to assemble the jigsaw puzzle.

Sophia questioned, "Why are you suddenly playing this? Practicing your patience?"
Fiona nodded, "My colleague said that I have horrible temper management, so she came up with this method to allow me to
develop patience; otherwise, she said that she is really afraid that one day I will lose control of my temper and fight with the
supervisor"
"Did you run recently into trouble at work?" Sophia questioned her again.
Sophia took two ice-cold beverage cans from the refrigerator and handed one to Fiona.
"It's no trouble.Working for others has always been like this.
To be suppressed all the time is the norm now’ Fiona said while looking at Sophia then she added, "It was clearly the fault of the
two departments who were unable to communicate in time.The project also had a fatal flaw in the first place, but when things
went wrong, I became the scapegoat.Will you believe me if I said that I was innocent?"
Sophia leaned against the sofa, one holding an iced drink and the other supporting her head while leaning on the sofa.
Sophia replied, "I understand; the company has many major projects, and there are many things that will inevitably happen"
"It's almost eleven, how many days can you rest?" Fiona asked as she sat up.
"I'm not sure; the Chief Research Department isn't like the Quality Control Department; there are so many things to do that I feel
like I need to have three more heads and six arms to keep up on the things I should do every day"
Sophia was exhausted as well, but she realized that working in this industry was not that difficult at all.
"Okay, once it's my time to take a break, let's go on a trip together.I haven't left Frostford City this year, and I'd like to improve my
mood." Fiona chuckled.
Sophia nodded, "Then I'll ask my colleague how the company handles leaves for their employees in previous years.After that, I'll
give you a response when the time comes.Now that you mentioned it, I suddenly want to go out and relax."
"Then it's settled." Fiona smiled.
The two of them chatted until midnight.
It was not until they couldn't open their eyes anymore that the two got into their beds.

The next day, as Sophia got off the bus she accidentally sprained her ankle.It was all Fiona's fault.
She insisted that she should change into these high heels and dress this morning.She also claimed that she always liked to wear
short heels that did not look good on her.
And she did not hid her displeasure and insisted on letting her wear these shoes.
She couldn't get used to wearing such high heels because she was used to wearing short heels.
It was the busiest time of day, and Evan Enterprise employees were rushing to work from all directions.
