Chapter 118 Victor&##x27;s Rejection

The employees didn't expect Sophia could say this. They were all dumbfounded.

"You are being other's mistress and rebuking us like this!" Said Mrs. Wang sourly, holding her arms.
This rekindled the topic that had just been destroyed by Sophia.

"Although Sophia is beautiful, it might be a whole plastic surgery."

Hearing this, Teresa raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "I don't know whether Miss Sophia's face
looks natural or not, but the clothes she wears are fake."

The crowd sighed, "no wonder she is a faker. Everything is faked!"

"No matter how she dressed herself up, she must be a fake. How could she get married and become a
phoenix?" Thinking of Sophia's arrogant image, Teresa was enraged. She couldn't believe that Sophia
wanted to marry into Xiao family and be the wife of Victor? No way, not even in her next life!

Teresa stared in the direction that Sophia was leaving, and thought, 'Sophia, your happy life isn't long.'

In the next few days, Sophia would always hear the discussions of Teresa and other colleagues on
various occasions. At the beginning, she could not accept it. But after a long time, she was tired of
hearing it. But people were still talking about her unremittingly. Obviously, Sophia had become a hot
topic in the company.

After a brief reflection, Sophia got to know several points that had been discussed: being with Victor
had destroyed the relationship between Teresa and Victor; being beautiful and doubtful about plastic
surgery...

Thinking of this, Sophia smiled helplessly. She took over the water from the tap and patted her face
gently to relieve the tiredness of staying in the office in the afternoon.



Sophia went out work alone, today. When she was about to leave, Victor asked her to go home first
since he had to work overtime. Perhaps it was because Sophia had guessed it earlier, she didn't show
any surprise on her appearance. However, the sense of loss in her heart grew heavier and heavier.
After struggling for a while, she left the office with her bag.

When Sophia thought about this, Victor had been very busy with the company these days. And
meanwhile, she had led a boring life. Hence, it could easily cause a lot of negative emotions for Sophia
if Victor was too busy to keep Sophia company.

After thinking it over, Sophia decided to register for a training class, and she could charge it in her
spare time.

Sophia also got something she needed to focus on. She wanted to be an independent woman instead
of paying attention to men. She wanted to live for herself.

When she thought of this, Jeremy's name appeared on Sophia's screen of her phone.

Sophia pick up her phone. Jeremy's gentle voice rang again. "Sophia, are you free tonight? Can I have
a dinner with you?"

"Well..." Sophia subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Jeremy forcefully interrupted Sophia who was going to say, "don't tell me you're busy."

Sophia was shy, she smiled and said, "you do know me well." it suddenly occurred to her that she
should have her own life and her own social circle. "Well, then. I'm already off work and haven't left the
company."

The happiness of Jeremy could be sensed through the phone. He said, "you can come out now. I'm at
the gate of your company." He would never admit that the reason why he came to the gate of the YS



Group was that he wanted to try his luck to meet Sophia.

Soon, Sophia walked out of the hall with brisk steps.

"Why are you so happy?" Jeremy had already opened the door for her, gentlemanly, and let her sit in
the passenger seat.

"Because I have thought something through and thrown away all the troubles, I am naturally happy."
Sophia enchanting, she smiled and said in a plain tone. At this moment, she was the most beautiful
woman in Jeremy's eyes.

The sky was not all dark at dusk. There were flames in the sky, which was like a landscape painting.

"What a beautiful fiery cloud!" Sitting in the car, Sophia couldn't help but sigh when she saw the sky in
front of her.

On the other side, Jeremy was driving. He occasionally looked at Sophia around him, feeling
wonderful. It made him realize that even if he didn't ask for Sophia as his lover, they were still good
friends and that was still great. It would be enough to wait for Sophia in silence.

The dinner place was almost there. This time Jeremy took Sophia to a Sichuan restaurant.

It was a place where people loved Sichuan cuisine, but the decoration of the restaurant was very
Chinese style. Its enthusiastic red back was noble and elegant.

"Jeremy, to tell you the truth, every time you invite me to dinner, you have thought about it carefully.
Right?" Sophia walked towards the dining room while asked Jeremy.

The corners of Jeremy's mouth raised a little. He did not deny it. "How can it be too casual to invite a
beautiful woman to dinner?"



Sophia no longer talked. She knew that Jeremy had put a lot of effort on her. She couldn't respond to
this love, but they could still become close friends.

Jeremy was a careful man. He ordered some specialty dishes and pick the fish bone off. Only then did
he cautiously put the fish into Sophia's bowl.

This was really a hard thing for Sophia to see, so she moved the tableware to a place where Jeremy
couldn't reach. Then she smiled gracefully and said, "don't only focus on me. You should also eat more
food."

Jeremy understood what Sophia meant. He stretched out his hand, wanting to get more food for her,
but had to smile drily before he put it back to his bowl.

Sophia tried hard to push Jeremy back to his seat and said normally, "I'm going to take a junior course.
I'll have some time to enrich myself."

"Have you decided which shift you will take?" Jeremy smartly replied to her.

Sophia shook her head, put the spoon in her hand into the bowl, scooped up a little, tasted it and said,
"I haven't decided yet. I'm a little confused."

Jeremy knew about the recent rumors about the YS Group. In order to save the order of the group,
Victor worked overtime every day. Jeremy then realized that Victor had ignored his daily life, and
perhaps Victor was the reason why Sophia wanted to take a further course. And since Sophia said this
to him, Jeremy was no doubt her best friend.

Although he knew it was inevitable, Jeremy's heart thumped, as if he had lost something. He
thoughtfully took up the cup, shook the cup and said, "Sophia, in fact, you can consider getting a MBA
class." He continued, "and many young people are using MBA_topursue a higher level."



Sophia listened carefully to Jeremy's words. She had heard about MBA long before. When she was in
Jian family, Caspar worried about Sophia's status and was afraid that she coveted the wealth of his
own family. He never gave her any chance to work in an important position, let alone study outside.

Now, after hearing Jeremy's suggestion, Sophia thought it was feasible. She couldn't always rely on
Victor. To be his special assistant for the rest of her life, she could always have her own life. And the
best state for the two people was that they were relatively dependent on each other and were relatively
free.

"Yes, you are right. I could successfully get the MBA." Sophia took a sip of the tea by the table, and
said with determination.

Jeremy put down the things in his hand and asked tentatively, "Sophia, in fact, I have some resources.
If you don't mind, I can help you register. You just need to focus on your study."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can do these things myself." Sophia refused. She didn't want to owe
Jeremy a favor for some small matters.

Jeremy sighed in his heart. Although he knew he would be refused, he still hoped that Sophia could
accept his help.

Seeing that Jeremy was a little embarrassed, Sophia cautiously put her chopsticks on the plate and sat
in a serious manner. "Thank you for helping me so much. After a pause, she continued, "friend!"

Of course, Jeremy understood what Sophia meant. He nodded and took up the chopsticks to take
another dish the nearest to him. He ate it quickly, trying to hide his emotions.

Sophia didn't talk anymore. She looked out of the window.



…… By this time, S City was shrouded in the night. The too bustling streets had made people forget
who they were and lost many vigorous hearts...

Teresa was busy too. In the living room, she was busy discussing with her mother, Connie. How to
make Sophia get defeated and keep Sophia away from Victor.

"Mom, do you mean that all the contacts have been made?" The excitement of Teresa had clearly
shown on her good-looking face. While speaking, she leaned towards Connie and held her arm, acting
like a spoiled child.

Connie didn't resist the intimacy between Teresa and her. After all, she had cared about Teresa since
she was a child. Connie nodded. She actually felt a little scared in her heart, but she had the cheers
that she could get rid of Sophia. A weird smile appeared on her face. Connie asked tenderly, "how's the
relationship between Sophia and Victor?"

Speaking of this topic, Teresa was a little bit complacent. She raised her head half and said proudly,
"it's not easy for Sophia to get together with Victor every day. It's rare that they get together in the office
and get so busy with their own things that they don't even have a chance to talk!" Teresa blinked again
and said shyly, "besides, I don't think that Victor has been rejecting me as much as he did
before..."
