Sophia did not actually intend to make things difficult for Cassandra, even though the woman was quite annoying that night. After all, Sophia did not take the matter to heart.

The main reason she did not sign the contract with them was her lack of trust in their company.

Of course, a part of her also desired to retaliate against Cassandra.

However, if their company's prospects were promising and their plans were reasonable, Sophia would not let the opportunity to make money slip away because of a minor grudge.

The crux of the issue was that Cassandra's company was not doing well.

However, Sophia could not control Cassandra's and Viktor's thoughts.

“Ms. Yarrow, Ms. Holloway is...”

Even though Yvonne did not know what happened that night, having followed Sophia for many years, she had guessed from the first sentence that Cassandra had offended her during the negotiation before that.

When she heard Yvonne's words, Sophia raised her eyebrows slightly. “It's nothing. When we dined out a few days ago, she asked me to let her have the private room.” After a short pause, she continued, “She said that her uncle is an executive at Technology Innovations. I decided to show him some request, so I gave her the room.”

After speaking, Sophia smiled.

Yvonne immediately understood what had happened. She knew that Sophia rarely targeted a person. When she spoke strangely to Cassandra earlier, it was clear that the latter had offended the former.

It did not occur to her that Cassandra would be so foolish.

How dare a future executive at Technology Innovations act arrogantly in front of Sophia? As the company's major shareholder, wouldn't Sophia be able to crush her?

Cassandra was not only foolish but also unlucky. Their company's investments had ties to Sophia. No one could claim to have worse luck than her.

Cassandra also felt that she was unlucky. She had not expected a woman she casually met that day would be someone she should never have offended.

The previous day, Viktor had already warned her that she would need to resign from the company if she failed to get the investment from Sunshine Group.

Cassandra did not want to leave the company. Even though she was just a low-ranked manager, there were many people who flattered her.

In addition, Viktor was acquainted with Bob's friend. Everything was going according to her wishes at the company.

Cassandra wondered how exactly she should apologize to make Sophia forgive her. Even though she had been thinking about it all night, she could not come up with a solution.

Just yesterday, Viktor had said that if she could not seek Sophia's forgiveness, she should pack up and leave the company. Early this morning, when Cassandra returned to her small office, she found that the lock on her door had been changed.


Just yesterday, Viktor had said that if she could not seek Sophia's forgiveness, she should pack up and leave the company. Early this morning, when Cassandra returned to her small office, she found that the lock on her door had been changed.

When she asked her passing colleagues, a junior employee looked at her awkwardly and said, “Ms. Holloway, Mr. Weylandt said that you should not come to the company for a while.”

No one knew exactly what had happened. All the company's employees only knew that after Viktor returned yesterday, he suddenly became furious and smashed things in the office. He angrily ordered his secretary to change the lock on Cassandra's office and told the company's staff to treat the woman like an invisible person for the next three days.

Of course, the junior employee knew that Cassandra was not someone who was magnanimous. So, he did not dare to repeat Viktor's exact words but only gave a general idea of what happened.

After hearing the junior employee's words, Cassandra's face turned pale.

She had almost been able to call the shots in the company for the past two years, but now she was being chased out of the door. Cassandra could not bear the defeat.

The woman stiffened her face and walked away dejectedly.

Sophia was not busy today. After handling two documents, she planned to head to Specter Entertainment.

As soon as Sophia walked out of the office door, Yvonne walked toward her and said, “Ms. Yarrow...”

Yvonne stood a short distance away and looked at Sophia, who had a slight frown. It seemed that the woman was somewhat displeased. “Ms. Cassandra Yarrow came to look for you.”

“Oh?” Sophia raised a brow before continuing, “Well, she's here just in time. Let her in.” She smiled, visibly in a good mood. She was also interested to see how Cassandra would make the apology.

When Yvonne glanced at Sophia, she saw the flicker of delight in the woman's eyes. She was stunned momentarily but then quickly reacted and nodded. “All right, Ms. Yarrow.”

Soon, Yvonne brought Cassandra into Sophia's office. “Ms. Holloway is here, Ms. Yarrow.”

Sophia hung up the phone, turned around, and looked at Cassandra. Her gaze swept over the item in her hand, and she smiled slightly. “Ms. Leighton, please pour Ms. Holloway some coffee.”

Yvonne acknowledged her instructions before leaving the room.

There were only Cassandra and Sophia left in the office. The latter walked to the couch and sat on one side, then raised her hand and pointed to the opposite couch. “Please take a seat, Ms. Holloway.”



Throughout the whole process, Sophio wos olwoys smiling.

In controst, Cossondro wos inexplicobly nervous. She could not even give the gift she wos holding to Sophio.

When Sophio looked ot her, Cossondro instinctively ploced the gift behind her. “Thonk you, Ms. Yorrow.”

She wolked over reluctontly ond sot down on the couch opposite Sophio. “Ms. Hollowoy, I come here todoy to sincerely opologize to you.”

Sophio looked ot her ond osked, “Why is there o need for on opology? Did you do onything wrong, Ms. Hollowoy?”

Heoring this, Cossondro's foce stiffened. “Ms. Yorrow, I know I wos wrong thot night. I wos blind ond didn't recognize you. I soid some offensive things. Pleose be mognonimous ond forgive me.”

“Ms. Hollowoy, you ore moking me confused. Whot you soid thot night wos true. I wos indeed ignoront. It wosn't o big deol for me to let you hove the privote room when you ond your fomily were hoving o birthdoy celebrotion.”

As soon os Sophio finished speoking, Cossondro's foce turned pole. “Ms. Yorrow, I...”

Before she could continue, Yvonne, stonding outside the door, colled out, “Ms. Yorrow.”

“Come in,” the womon instructed.

Cossondro could only purse her lips ond stop tolking, looking on os Yvonne brought in the coffee ond ploced it in front of her.

From the moment Cossondro come in until now, Sophio hod been cordiol. However, the more friendly she wos, the more uneosy Cossondro felt.

It wos only the two of them in the office ofter Yvonne left.

“Hove o drink, Ms. Hollowoy,” Sophio urged.

She leoned over ond offered Cossondro the cup Yvonne hod just brought in.

However, before Cossondro could even touch the edge of the cup, Sophio directly sploshed the hot coffee onto her hond.

The coffee wos not very hot, but there wos o slight wormth when it londed on her hond.
