Going cold all over, everyone silently wiped their cold sweat away as the tense atmosphere made their hair stand on end. However, they were reluctant to leave, so they watched the drama before them with great interest, and their eyes were focused especially on Michael, whom Irene had called out.
Michael was terror-stricken, for he knew that Sophia would resent him for whatever he said right now. He’d rather play dead all night, but he didn’t expect Irene to drag him into the conversation.
He had indeed seen Irene backstage that day, but it was her who came backstage with Joel to meet him. He swore that he never had any private contact with Irene; all he did was say a few greetings to her in front of Joel and ask her to take a photo of him and Joel using his cell phone!
At this moment, he could only brace himself to speak. “It’s been so many years since then. I have put everything out of my mind—”
Soon after he began his sentence, Sophia suddenly got up. When everyone thought that she was finally about to unleash her killer move, she stuck out her tongue playfully and said with an adorable expression, “Hubby, excuse me for going to the restroom.”
Everyone was astounded. How could Sophia leave at this critical moment? Was she making a full-scale retreat because she knew that her enemy was more than her match? But this was so unlike her!
Michael nodded foolishly as he also didn’t know what Sophia was up to.
Sophia then said, “You two haven’t seen each other for so many years, so you two must have a lot to say to each other. Chat to your hearts’ content, then.”
After that, she actually lifted the hem of her dress and left.
What move is she making? Not only is she in full-scale retreat, she’s even surrendering her position to her enemy!
Michael broke out in a cold sweat as he watched Sophia leaving like that. Sh*t, I can’t tell what she’s up to! All I know is that I’ll be done for!
