Chapter 54 Cold War

When Victor saw this, he couldn't help but slightly frown. He had proposed to take Rita to dinner to
make Sophia angry. But now it seemed that Sophia didn't want to see him at all.

When Victor and ·Rita walked through the lobby, they met Leon. Having seen the intimate behavior
between Victor and ·Victor, Leon thought about Sophia. He glanced at Victor in confusion.

Leon didn't want to comment on his boss's behavior, but he couldn't help defending Sophia. Anyone
with discerning eyes could see that ·Sophia had a special feeling to Victor.

Sophia and Leon were sworn enemies to each other. She was still bothered by the event of last
endorsement. In her eyes, Leon was arrogant and sharp tongued. He was not like a gentleman of a
successful business man at all?

She couldn't help but tease him, "Yo, Mr. Leon, where are you going? I'm going to have lunch with
Victor. Why don't we go together? "

Leon then cast a scornful glance at Rita and apologized, "I'm sorry. I can't sit with you. I'm afraid I can't
eat well."

"What… What do you mean? " Rita was so angry that she even stuttered. She was good at acting, so
how could she be more eloquent than Leon who had immersed in the business for a long time?

Without answering Rita, Leon went straight to his office. Looking at his arrogant back, Rita gnashed her
teeth in anger and complained to Victor.

"Look at Leon. Is this the way you treat the actors who have cooperation with your company? !"

"Well, that's exactly Leon's personality. Let's go to eat! Don't waste time. I have work to do in the
afternoon! " Victor was a little impatient with a straight face.



Rita could feel that Victor was not happy and his attitude was different from that upstairs. She thought
that she was too narrow-minded and irritated Victor.

"All right, all right. Let's go to have lunch!"

***

The restaurant was chosen by Rita. It was a newly opened western restaurant with the novel
decoration.

As a female star, Rita rarely had a chance to have dinner alone. She took a table by the side of the
road, through which she could see people coming and going on the street.

"What do you want to eat?" Rita asked, looking through the menu.

Sitting down, Victor stared out of the window silently. Since he was a child, he had always tried to get
whatever he wanted. But he always failed to get what he wanted since Sophia. This made him upset.

Immersed in his own thoughts, Victor didn't hear Rita's question. She repeated it.

"What do you want to eat, Victor?"

"Whatever. You decide."

It seemed that the man didn't want to talk about it anymore, so Rita ordered two medium well steak.

After ordering, Rita couldn't help asking, "what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. It's just something about work." Victor responded casually.

"Work? Although John resigned from the company, isn't it Sophia to help you? " Rita asked in
confusion.



"I think that Sophia is a capable assistant! She is beautiful and good tempered! "

Hearing Rita's compliments to Sophia, Victor tightened his lips. Good tempered? No one could be more
stubborn than her!

"Hum, does she have a good temper? Why didn't I know? !" The expression on Victor's face darkened
with displeasure.

Rita paused, "you… It seems that you have a thing for Sophia? "

"Let's eat!" Victor frowned and dropped the topic.

Seeing that ·Victor didn't want to talk about it, Rita thought it might be some mistakes on Sophia's work
and Rita didn't take it seriously.

During the lunch, Victor didn't say a word, because Rita kept talking. In the end, Victor replied with a
simple "Hmm". Even Rita felt a little awkward since she was always a tomboy.

After dinner, Rita volunteered to go back to the set. After sending her to the crew, Victor went back to
his company.

When Victor passed through Sophia's office, he happened to meet Sophia making coffee.

"Sophia, have you finished the work I've arranged for you?" Victor leaned against the door frame
casually and asked. When he looked at Sophia's face, he felt a little excitement but was quickly
covered.

"Don't worry, Mr. Victor. I will sort it out before getting off work." Sophia looked at Victor indifferently.

They stared at each other. One of them looked indifferent, while the other was careless, neither of them
was willing to make a concession.



At last, Victor said, "that's good." Then he turned around and went back to the CEO's office.

Although Sophia got rid of her strained shoulders, she didn't get any chance to have lunch. Instead, he
was okay! He messed with her immediately after the date! He really wouldn't let her go!

Victor returned to his office. The 27 floor glass window design could clearly see the scenery outside.
His mind was filled with Sophia's little face that was stubborn and heartbreaking. Wouldn't this woman
show tenderness?! As long as she could make a concession and told him that there were too many
data, he wouldn't have the heart to let her continue!

It was a cold war without smoke, and both of them were exhausted physically and mentally.

By the time Sophia got off work in the afternoon, she finally sorted out a pile of report. She took a deep
breath and went into Victor's office.

"I have packed up the data." Sophia put the report on Victor's office.

Victor lifted his head from the document and took a quick glance at it. He didn't deny Sophia's ability.

"Pay more attention to your work from now on! John is gone. There are a lot of work to be done in the
company. "

Victor's words were harsh and Sophia's heart was ripped apart. Knowing her relationship with Victor,
she tried her best to prove herself. Besides, he couldn't deny that John had left for him?!

"I know!" However, Sophia was not shown on her face. She simply responded and left.

Sophia packed up her things after she left the company. She didn't want to get in Victor's car any more
because of the current relationship. She was no choice to book a contract with Victor, but she didn't
want to think too much except for her body.



When Victor got off work, he didn't see Sophia, so he asked the receptionist if she had seen it.

"Sophia has left already."

Upon hearing her reply, Victor lifted his eyebrows. 'Am I so annoying to her? Why is she unwilling to
take the same car with me? '?!

Victor drove at the highest speed. He didn't know why he couldn't keep calm every time he was with
that woman.

When he got home, he got nothing to do. So he took off his clothes and threw them on the sofa.

Noticing that only Victor was home, Zelda asked in surprise, "where is Miss Sophia? Why didn't she
come back with you today? "

"Her? Does she have anything to do with me? !" Victor's words were vague, but Zelda knew that it was
a sign of anger.

Web and Zelda looked at each other and wondered, 'what's wrong with them?' They had been serving
Xiao family for decades. They knew their master very well. Now that Victor met a girl that he took a
fancy to, they sincerely hoped that everything could go well with them.

"Mr. Victor, don't misunderstand girls. If there is any misunderstanding, just let it go!" Zelda suggested.

Ignoring Zelda's question, Victor took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and started to drink.

The two old men sighed after seeing that. Victor was good in all the things, but he was too stubborn.
Miss Sophia looked gentle but she was also very stubborn. There might be some conflicts between the
two young people here.

When Sophia got back home, Victor was a little drunk. He asked Sophia, "why don't you take my car?"



"It's none of your business? I don't want to take your filthy car! " Sophia could still remember the time
when Victor took Rita to have lunch.

"Filthy? Do you think my car is filthy? Do you think I'm dirty? " The man's tone rose sharply, and his
slightly drunk eyes became cold.

Sophia in her heart was saying, "yes, you're filthy." But she couldn't help signing an agreement with
you.

Sophia didn't speak, and her pair of big eyes slightly drooped. Victor knew what she was thinking, and
suddenly he had no mood to drink.

With a flick of his hand, the goblet that he was holding red wine fell from the table to the ground,
breaking into pieces.

Sophia got a shock. When she was about to move her ankle, a stabbing pain came from her ankle. She
looked down and found that her ankle had been cut by the broken glass.

Hearing the sound, Zelda and Web also ran out of the bedroom. Zelda noticed that there was blood on
Sophia's ankle, so she asked worriedly, "what's wrong with your ankle? Sit down. Let me bind up your
wound! "

"Don't worry, Zelda. It doesn't matter. I'll put on a band aid." She remembered there was a band aid in
her bag and was about to take it out.

Victor was so drunk that he fell off the glass. He didn't expect that Sophia would get hurt.

The man frowned, "don't you feel pain? I'll let you bind up the wound! " Sophia pouted. If it weren't for
Victor, she wouldn't have gotten hurt!

Victor carried Sophia herb to the sofa and signaled Zelda to get the first aid kit.



Sophia cut on her ankle, but it was not big. The cut looked a little serious because it was bleeding.

"Don't bother. It's really nothing serious!" When Sophia saw Victor kneeling down in front of her, she felt
uncomfortable and wanted to take her feet back.

But Victor grasped her calves. His cold fingers pressed against her skin, which made her shudder.

"Don't move. You have to be sterilized, or you will get scars."

Zelda brought the first aid kit. Victor found alcohol and gauze himself and disinfected her. The man was
clumsy in movement. It seemed that it was the first time for him to do such thing. Sophia felt a little
sweet in her heart. Was she the first woman to be treated by Victor?

After she thought about it, she couldn't help but praise herself, Sophia that you forget pain when you
get healed. Are you moved by him by doing such a little thing?'!

Victor had no idea of Sophia's mental activity. He focused on treating the cut in front of him. Sophia
was right that this was the first time he had bandaged a wound.

Finally it was done. A smile appeared on Victor's lips. He glanced at Sophia and lifted her to the main
bedroom upstairs.

"Go to bed early today." After that, Victor left.
