On the other end of the call, Christopher Scott had just entered the office when the phone rang.
He nonchalantly took the phone out of his pocket, and upon seeing the na Sophia Bennett, his expression darkened. He thought to himself, this woman is really persistent.
What surprised him was that she usually waited until Saturday evening to call him, but today was only Friday morning, and yet she was calling.
Christopher stared at the phone for a mont but eventually answered the call.
Once connected, Sophia calmly said, "Christopher, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner."
Sophia’s voice was pleasant, and when calm, it had an adorable quality. Her speaking pace was not fast, making her seem like a cute, naive girl. Despite this, Christopher found her voice irritating.
Therefore, he impatiently replied, "I’m not free."
"Christopher, I’ve never invited you before. This is the first ti. Can you give a bit of face? There are so things I’d like to discuss with you in person, okay?" Sophia expected Christopher’s rejection, so her emotions didn’t change, and she patiently requested.
Listening to the girl’s excuses, Christopher furrowed his brow, pondering what Sophia wanted to say, which he could already guess without eting her.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Fine, send the address."
Christopher agreed not because he wanted to see Sophia or hear her out, but to tell her in person that no matter what she said or did, they would never be together.
If she criticized Sarah River, he was prepared to retaliate. In conclusion, he was eting Sophia to end her pursuits, not to deepen their relationship.
When Christopher agreed to et, Sophia showed no excitent, just calmly said, "Thank you," and hung up the call.
Her calmness made Christopher increasingly unable to understand what this woman was thinking. Regardless of her tricks, Christopher planned to mock and scorn her. No matter her family background, he disliked won who were domineering, obstinate, unreasonable, and persistent.
Christopher didn’t realize that Sophia was no longer domineering, obstinate, or unreasonable. Persistent she might be, but she wasn’t worth hating to the core. Although she pursued him, she didn’t cling desperately.
After hanging up, Christopher shifted to a work mindset, but scenes of Sophia’s indifferent attitude last night and her phone call kept surfacing in his mind.
anwhile, Sophia sat quietly at ho all day, only leaving at five in the afternoon to drive to the agreed restaurant.
Ten minutes after Sophia arrived, Christopher also ca; he didn’t keep her waiting long.
Sitting across from Sophia, he frowned at her for a couple of glances without speaking.
Seeing Christopher had arrived, Sophia quickly called the waiter, ordered a coffee for Christopher, and handed him the nu, saying, "Sorry, never had a al with you, no idea what you like."
Today, Sophia seed more mature and composed than before.
Christopher looked at the nu handed over by Sophia, accepted it but put it aside, then raised his head to look into Sophia’s eyes, saying: "Say whatever you want directly, no need for tricks to waste ti."
Christopher had no intention of dining with Sophia; he was just there to make things clear with her so she wouldn’t pursue him.
Seeing Christopher’s reaction, Sophia understood his intent and knew his purpose for coming today.
Sophia took a deep breath, a bitter smile tugging at her lips, feeling today’s invitation was redundant.
After gazing at Christopher for a mont, she said awkwardly, "I knew you wouldn’t want to co, but still invited you, making it difficult for you."
Sophia felt there was no need to say what she had in mind, Christopher obviously disliked her, and he had a girlfriend now, Sarah River, who was more sensible and wouldn’t cause trouble. Comparing the two, he would surely choose Sarah River.
Then, she lowered her head, smiling bitterly, mocking herself for being foolish, seeking trouble for nothing.
Seeing the awkward smile on the girl’s lips and her bitter smile, Christopher disdainfully said, "Did you call just to say these things?"
Christopher couldn’t wait for Sophia to get to the point. Whether she confessed or criticized Sarah River, he had prepared many words to embarrass or hurt her, making her retreat.
Listening to Christopher’s questioning, Sophia slowly lifted her head and smiled at him.
After smiling, she cautiously asked, "Christopher, is there absolutely no chance for ?"
"What do you think?" Christopher counter-questioned without a second thought.
Seeing his impatience to mock her, Sophia quickly interrupted him, saying: "Christopher, don’t rush to answer . Could you take three minutes to consider? Although I’ve pursued you for a long ti, I think you haven’t considered and haven’t thought about who I am, just focused on hating ."
"I want you to calmly consider for three minutes, am I really that bad, not worth giving a chance?"
After speaking, Sophia took out her phone from her bag, opened the clock, and started the tir.
Christopher was stunned by Sophia, he miscalculated again.
He expected this woman to cry and sulk, badmouth Sarah River, or beg him, but unexpectedly, she calmly asked him to consider for three minutes.
Christopher was dumbfounded, staring at the tir on Sophia’s phone.
He forgot to reject Sophia and was simply stunned, unable to describe his emotions; he also forgot to consider whether to give Sophia a chance.
But mories surfaced of her first being infatuated with him at a bar; afterward, her liking for him was uncontrollable.
He recalled her finding him at school on Christmas Eve and bringing an apple, which he threw away.
He rembered her saying he liked Seven Murray so much, he should pursue and not give up; she even called Ian Hobbs to ask him to return Seven Murray.
He recalled her drugging him, saying harsh words that night; yet the next day, she still texted him.
At that mont, he seed to rember, since the drugging incident, Sophia beca very cautious, unlike before, only sending him three texts a day according to their agreent.
In his mind, Sophia’s docile nature was only a facade, that insolent, oblivious, unreasonable woman was Sophia.
Now, she was acting again, Christopher thought she must have seen Sarah River’s sensibility and thus mimicked her.
However, Sarah River wasn’t his type, no matter how Sophia emulated her, he wouldn’t be fond of her.
