Sophia first went to Lianna to figure out the reason but was told that Lianna had gone to the branch company for a meeting.

Samuel was still there, waiting.So, Sophia couldn't delay any longer.

For the time being, she could only inquire about it in the president's office.

The president's office was on the top floor.

Sophia paused for a few moments outside the door.Her hand, which was reaching out to knock on the door, never dared to drop.She finally summoned the confidence to open the door, but it was opened from the inside.

For a brief period, John was surprised when he saw Sophia, but he quickly recovered.

"Which department are you from?" he asked, his face solemn.

"Have all the General Manager Office secretaries gone on vacation?" he further added, wondering why no one stopped her from entering.

Sophia didn't dare to admit that she had been begging the Secretary of the General Manager Office for a long time, so they finally let her in.

"I need to speak with President Evans about an urgent matter…”

"What urgent matter can you and President Evans have?" John insisted, refusing to back away.

Patrick couldn't help but walk over, perhaps because the commotion outside was too loud.

"Let her in."

After that, John opened the door and let Sophia in, but he fled in terror as he came in touch with Patrick's eyes.

"What is it?" Patrick asked.

He then turned around and loosened his tie.He seemed a little disturbed.

"What I said last night was too much, and I apologize if I made you feel ashamed; she stated flatly.She should have known what she needed to apologize for” it was what she said the night before out of impulse.

Five years ago, Patrick had the right to decide for her life.

And five years later, he was still able to do whatever he wanted with her.

That was what she had thought! 

"Do you think I can do that?" Patrick said.

Patrick's smile appeared.

"Do you think I care?" he asked, putting one hand in his pocket and approaching her gently.

On the tip of Sophia's nose lingered a fresh and pleasant scent of a man's shaving cream.

It mingled with the smell of wine as if he had just come from a dinner party.

Sophia asked, lowering her voice as much as
