Chapter 798 They’re Getting Married
Sofia paused, probably trying to find a way around what she wanted to say. However, she gave up in the end, thinking it was too unpleasant no matter how one put it.
Then, she continued, “It’s only later that I realized it was all just a show. I’m sorry. I meant to apologize to you but could never find the right chance to do so. Tell you what? Let me pay for lunch. How about that?”
Can’t find the right chance to apologize? Yeah, right. I’ll be a monkey’s uncle if you weren’t able to apologize in the last six months. Just how shameless can you be to say something like that?! Shirley ranted in her head but didn’t express anything on the surface.
As the saying went, ‘Punish no man who sincerely asked for forgiveness’, she could only force a smile and forgive Sofia. “It’s all in the past.”
“Thanks, Shirley. You’re the best. Do you suppose we could be friends?” Sofia asked, then grabbed her phone without giving Shirley a chance to say no. “Come, let’s add each other on WhatsApp. We should hang out sometimes.”
If Sofia hadn’t opened her WhatsApp QR code, Shirley could’ve still said no, but now, the unique square barcode was right in front of her. “Here, scan mine.”
“Haha… Sure…” answered Shirley reluctantly. She was Garrick’s sister, after all, and Vincere still needed the collaboration with Cyberten. She couldn’t afford to jeopardize it.
Aside, Skyler’s countenance was grim and enigmatic.
“Alright, we’re friends now. You can’t turn me down when I ask you to hang out, alright?” Sofia chirped.
One had to admit that the young woman was gorgeous. Her black crop top, long, let-down hair, and delicate makeup gave her the sense of forthrightness and insouciance of a capable woman, and it wouldn’t be hard for someone to be infatuated with her at first glance.
“Haha, sure. I’ll join you when I’m not tied up with work.” Thus, Shirley would certainly turn Sofia down with the excuse of being busy with work whenever the latter invited her to hang out.
“It’s nice to see you two shake hands and put everything behind.” Garrick guffawed. “You sure are the bigger woman, Miss Wilson.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment, President Brennan.”
“Haha, I’m just telling the truth.” At that, Garrick turned to Skyler. “Skyler, you must invite Miss Wilson to your wedding with Pia.”
However, Skyler only took a silent and enigmatic gander at Garrick. Instead, it was Sofia who answered, “Naturally.”
“That would be my honor.” Shirley nodded with a superficial smile, then put all her attention on her coffee as she sipped on it.
They’re getting married? Huh… Great… Great.
That said, all that happened the night before came to her mind, and a dull, aching pain struck her heart.
Just then, her phone, which she had left on the table, pinged, and she checked it to find it was a message from Wade. ‘I’ll be able to head home tomorrow, Shir. I appreciate you looking after my mother.’
Wade had asked Shirley to look after his mother while he was on a business trip, and Shirley would check on the elder every single day. Even if she couldn’t make it, she’d ask Monica to help bring food over and keep the elder company for a while.
Speaking of which, Monica needed to receive the gratitude she deserved.
With that, she replied, ‘I didn’t do much, actually. Monica has been making the most effort. You should treat her to a meal or something when you return.’
‘Sure. I’ll treat you two to lunch, then. I appreciate you guys helping me out,’ Wade replied instantly.
‘Hey, what are friends for? Don’t mention it.’ Shirley smiled unconsciously as she typed away, probably feeling relieved because Wade was returning.
However, Skyler couldn’t help but turn grim when he saw her expression, and he tilted his head to peek at her phone only to find a name at first glance—Wade Yoder.
Instantly, a dangerous storm brewed within him.
