However, she couldnāt do anything, she could only lower her head in tears, too afraid to even ask Christopher Scott a word, fearing he would get angry with her.Although Sophia Bennett didnāt cry out loud, the sudden change in her breathing still made Christopher Scott realize her abnormality. He didnāt offer her comfort, but coldly asked, "How much longer do you need to finish checking your documents?"
Sophia Bennett took a deep breath, swallowed, and tried to speak calmly, "Just a little more, itās almost done, Iāll check faster."
Sophia Bennett knew that Christopher Scott asking about the document wasnāt out of concern for her, but because he was busy going on a blind date.
Her heart ached, she didnāt want Christopher Scott to go on a blind date. She wanted to be unreasonable, to hold him back from going, but then she remembered her status, and a bitter smile crept to her lips.
She wasnāt anybody to Christopher Scott, what right did she have to stop him from dating? Even if he were to get married now, she could only watch helplessly.
Moreover, she feared even more that if she caused trouble, Christopher Scott would dislike her more and impulsively marry another girl.
At this moment, she even hoped that Christopher Scott still had feelings for Seven Murray, that he hadnāt moved on. Even though her thoughts contradicted her past, sheād rather he still thought of Seven Murray than fall for another woman, for if he liked another girl, sheād have no chance at all.
Though her thoughts were selfish, she couldnāt be magnanimous about feelings. She still wanted to pursue Christopher Scott and have a future with him.
Inside the office, Christopher Scott watched Sophia Bennett quietly cry as she sped up her work, a sarcastic smile forming on his lips.
He didnāt expect that after a year and a half, Sophia Bennett would still endure. She preferred to cry alone rather than argue with him, it seemed she had grown wiser.
However, even so, Christopher Scott still disliked Sophia Bennett.
Prompted by Christopher Scott, what was supposed to be a 30-minute task, Sophia Bennett completed in 10 minutes.
She knew this would only push Christopher Scott further into someone elseās arms, but she just felt miserable. She just wanted to leave his office quickly, go home, and cry heartily under the covers.
As Sophia Bennett packed her documents, Christopher Scott also started to shut down his computer. They both stood up and left the office, one after another, heading to the elevator.
The entire time, Sophia Bennett kept her head down, clutching her bag tightly, silent.
A moment later, the elevator door opened, and Christopher Scott walked in without a second thought, but Sophia Bennett stood at the entrance, unable to go in.
She was afraid that if she entered the elevator with Christopher Scott, he would resent her, so she waited for the next one.
"Arenāt you leaving?"
"Iām waiting for the next one."
Both spoke at the same time, surprising each other.
Christopher Scott hadnāt expected Sophia Bennett to avoid riding the elevator with him, which was very unlike her. Although she had been more restrained, every time she saw him, her eyes couldnāt leave him, and she would seize every chance to be alone with him, picking up any conversation.
Seemed like the sun really rose from the west today, Sophia actually avoided him.
Sophia Bennett didnāt expect Christopher Scott would ask if she was leaving, and her thought of taking the next elevator vanished instantly. She hurriedly stepped into the elevator, fearing that if she delayed, Christopher Scott might close the elevator doors.
The moment Sophia Bennett stepped into the elevator, the doors closed automatically.
In the confined space, there was a meter of distance between them, more estranged than strangers.
When the elevator reached the underground parking, one walked left, the other right.
Sophia Bennett was closer to the exit, but she didnāt leave earlier. Only after Christopher Scott left did she start her car and leave.
Instead of heading to Liam Spencerās villa, she followed Christopher Scottās car. She wanted to see what the woman Christopher Scott was going on a date with looked like, wanted to see how he would behave with others, to see if he treated other women the same way he disliked her.
If that were the case, sheād feel a bit relieved.
Sophia Bennett knew what she was doing was wrong, but she was just irrational and wanted to see.
In Christopher Scottās car, he glanced at the following Sophia Bennett through the rear-view mirror, a cold sneer forming at his lips, and he muttered to himself, "I thought you could pretend well, turns out you just want to cause a scene at the restaurant."
Sophia Bennettās reckless behavior, Christopher Scott had experienced a year and a half ago, so he thought the reason she hadnāt thrown a fit at the office was that she intended to explode after meeting the blind date, thus succeeding in driving away his potential partner, making it hard for other women to approach him.
Imagining Sophia Bennettās antics, Christopher Scottās smile grew colder, his mind readying words to embarrass her.
Before today, Christopher Scott hadnāt thought of confronting Sophia Bennett; but seeing her today, catching her fake demeanor and tears, he was disgusted and wanted to argue with her, so she wouldnāt appear in front of him; she shouldnāt think that by Liam Spencer playing some small tricks, she had backing.
No woman Christopher Scott didnāt want to marry, no matchmaker could make him change his mind.
Half an hour later, Christopher Scottās car stopped at an open-air parking lot of a restaurant in S City.
The restaurant was a greenhouse structure, and through the front windshield, Sophia Bennett saw Christopher Scott approaching a window-side table inside.
Sophia Bennett fixated on Christopher Scott, saw a long-haired woman sitting opposite him. From the distance, Sophia Bennett couldnāt clearly see the womanās face.
Sophia Bennett gripped the steering wheel, pouted, and leaned forward trying to get a clearer view, but the parking spot was too far.
Just as Sophia Bennett became increasingly anxious, a parking spot next to the restaurant window became available. As soon as the car left, Sophia Bennett eagerly started her vehicle and took the spot.
After parking, Sophia Bennett could clearly see her rivalās face. The woman Christopher Scott was seeing was someone she had seen before, the debutante from River Clan Group, a woman as beautiful as a flower, well-read, and possessing a good temperament.
Seeing Christopher Scottās date, Sophia Bennett felt a great chill. Compared to Miss River, she was worlds apart; arrogant, domineering, self-righteous, and oppressive - Miss River was far superior. Although she had changed significantly, those labels no longer characterized her; Christopher Scottās perception of her remained unchanged.
Sophia Bennett bit her lower lip, exhaled deeply, wanting desperately to rush into the restaurant to pull Christopher Scott away, preventing the date.
At this moment, she really wanted to act unreasonably, to cause a scene, but she also knew that doing so would only make her even more embarrassed.
Sophia Bennett was torn, unsure of what was right to do, unsure of how to act. She didnāt want Christopher Scott to like someone else.
