Win Your Heart

"I'm just following Mr. Victor's orders," John said with a meaningful smile. "About the intentions behind his actions, I do not know of."

…… In a cafe downtown...

Sophia sipped on her coffee as she looked solemnly at Emily Yu.

"Are you sure you want to go abroad?" Sophia asked indifferently, but there was a touch of sadness in her eyes.

Emily You was her best friend from college. She was the only one Sophia could openly talk to, and it seemed as if she, too, was going to leave her life. Just recently, Emily Yu had decided to go study abroad.

"Yup, that's the plan." Emily nodded. "My cousin is working in the YS Group. He has a job for me there but I don't quite fit the requirements just yet, which is why I want to study abroad for a while."

'The YS Group again?!' Every time Sophia heard this name, she felt her heart tightening in her chest. The coffee cup she was holding started to tremble in her hand.

"Why? What's wrong?" Emily Yu asked when she noticed that there was something wrong with Sophia.

"It's nothing," Sophia said with a forced smile. "Just go on right ahead. I'll just wait for you to come back."

"Is it because of Peter--"

"No, it's not. Don't mention him anymore." Sophia already knew what Emily Yu was going to say. Right now, she didn't want to hear his name anymore. What's more, it really had nothing to do with Peter.

Just at that moment, Sophia's phone rang. Upon looking as the screen, she saw that it was Jenny who was calling.

Rolling her eyes, Sophia muted the call and put her phone back in her bag. Just as soon as she did, it started ringing again. With a frown, she picked it up and muted it again, throwing it back into her bag.

"Are you sure you're not going to answer that?" Emily Yu asked, raising her eyebrows at Sophia.

"Of course I'm sure." Taking a sip of coffee, Sophia tried to calm herself down.

Jenny betrayed her and seduced her boyfriend. Sophia just refused to answer her phone call. Of course, Sophia knew that Jenny would get her into a lot of trouble once they got home.

Soon after, Sophia and Emily Yu parted way. As expected, the moment Sophia got home, she was greeted by Jenny's loud and obnoxious voice.

'Well, might as well get this over with, ' Sophia thought with a frown.

"You have the nerve to come back here! I've been trying to contact you for countless times! Why didn't you answer any of my calls! I asked you to wait for me. You weren't there anymore when I got out!!" Jenny was at hysterics. The makeup she was wearing was now smudged and runny, and her hair was a tangled mess. Without her princess facade, she looked nothing more than a whiny and annoying girl!
