Next One Is a Babe

Since Kate had already made her intentions clear, it would be impolite if Sophia rejected her.

Not knowing what to say, Sophia pursed her lips.

Right then, the servant next to her suggested, “Miss Gwendolyn, why don’t you just go over? The Blackwells are really excited to see you.”

After considering for a moment, Kate suggested, “Why don’t you just close your shop for a day? I’ll cover your loss.”

“No, no, it’s not that.” Sophia sighed. “Alright. Just inform me when you’re planning to have a meal, and I’ll arrange my schedule.”

Kate finally smiled at that.

Then, she left after getting what she wanted, as she didn’t want to bother Sophia from her business anymore.

However, when Kate was about to leave the shop, she turned around to face Sophia. “You’re a really good girl.”

Any average human would die to get closer to the Blackwells, but Sophia looked as if she just wanted to run away.

This made Kate like her even more.

After sending Kate off to her car, Sophia waved. “Have a safe trip.”

Right then, Kate rolled her window down and looked at Sophia. “I’ll send my driver over to fetch you, so you can just wait for us.”

Sophia smiled and nodded before waving Kate goodbye.

After the car drove away, Kate finally sat up straight.

The servant, who was sitting next to her, lamented, “Miss Gwendolyn looks like a really nice girl.”

Kate smiled at that. “It’s too bad that her family background isn’t that good.”

The servant chimed in with an agreement.

After a while, Kate continued, “But, we can still be close in other ways. After all, our family’s business did get better after that tarot reading.”

The Blackwell Family had run into a rough bump a while back. As the matriarch of the Blackwell Family got ill, their business was stagnant due to slow capital return, and some problems came up with their bank loan.

In short, they were in a huge mess.

However, things started to change for the better after the matriarch of the Blackwell Family’s birthday party.

Kate had always been a superstitious person and would pray whenever she could, so now she started treating Sophia as her savior.

The matriarch of the Blackwell Family believed that it was Sophia’s tarot reading that resurrected the Blackwell Family.

The servant naturally couldn’t say anything against her, so she could only chime in agreement.

Kate pondered for a moment. “To be honest, I had the intention of setting Fabian up with Sophia, but I dropped that idea now that I think about it. The Third Blackwell Family probably wouldn’t want it anyway. My third daughter-in-law probably wants a daughter-in-law from a good background, as she didn’t seem to like it when I tried to hint at her about it, so I don’t want to be the bad person. Moreover, Sophia would disagree too. I mean, look at her. She looks like she wants to run every time she sees me.”

By the time Sophia sent Kate off, the shop’s morning preparation was almost done.

Sophia looked like she was in a daze as she stood behind the counter.
