Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 618: Keep Going
She’s changed a lot, but still needs to keep trying.
"It’s simple, just don’t let those boring people get to you. Love those who are worth loving, protect those who you need to protect, simple." Sophie Wilson laughed brightly, making Lucy Wells envy her.
"But, speaking of it, Lucy, I’m surprised you stood up to Joshua Wright." Sophie was genuinely shocked—is this still the same old introverted Lucy Wells who had no opinions?
"I’m learning from you. I need to protect my mom and grandma too." Lucy said with a smile, her eyes curving, "Although I’m not as awesome as you yet, I’ll keep working hard!"
"Keep it up, we’ll work hard together!" Sophie laughed happily, seeing her good friend live more and more brilliantly, she felt genuinely happy.
"Don’t worry, Sophie, I’m going to another city in a couple of days, I’ll definitely sort out the branch office’s issues." Lucy said with enthusiasm, then ran off to work with the sound of her high heels clacking.
Watching Lucy’s efficient silhouette, Sophie scratched her head, feeling like she had led a little lamb astray.
Hmm... forget it, astray is fine, as long as she doesn’t get bullied.
Sophie spent the whole day at the office, mainly to check out the company’s future direction. During this time, with Edward Palmer managing things, the company has really been running smoothly.
Looks like at the end of the year, she can give the company’s key contributors a big bonus.
Before she knew it, it was already time to clock out. The office door was gently knocked, and Sophie said without raising her head, "Come in."
The person opened the door and came in, the familiar footsteps made Sophie suddenly raise her head and flash a big, bright smile, "What are you doing here?"
"Picking you up from work." Charles Seymour’s voice was calm, seemingly without any emotion, but when Sophie looked up and smiled at him, his heart raced, doubling in speed.
His Sophie always smiles so radiantly, he just can’t see enough of it.
"Eh, is it already this time?" Sophie looked at the time and exclaimed, "Didn’t feel it at all."
As she said this, Sophie moved her stiff neck, she had been too engrossed to notice the time.
"Why did you come to pick me up? When I get off work I can just take the subway back, it’s not far." Sophie said, thinking of his tiring effort to drive over from his company.
Charles walked over, naturally reaching out to massage Sophie’s neck, feeling the tense muscles in her shoulders and neck, making his brow furrow. She really didn’t pay attention to her body at all.
With a sigh in his heart, Charles didn’t slow down, placing his fingers firmly on the pressure points.
"Ouch, ouch..." Sophie gasped and gently patted Charles’ leg behind her, "A little lighter."
Charles didn’t stop but softened his voice, "If it’s too light, it won’t work."
"Ouch..." Sophie gasped again, almost in tears, "Ouch, ouch..."
She’s super afraid of pain, especially with Charles, who really knows how to hit the pressure points well—that sensation... is too intense!
Charles’s heart sank, a flicker of light appeared in his eyes, recalling the things they went through at the company initially, his heart felt like it was being dulled little by little by a rusty knife.
