Sophia immediately put the phone a little further away from her ear, and when the other end finally stopped talking, she said, “Do you want to get it back or not? If you want it, give me some time.”
“Where did you leave it? I’ll send someone to pick it up.”
“No, I’m scared you’d continue to hurt my dad when you get it back, so I won’t hand it over within a year,” Sophia said bravely.
“Are… Are you saying that I can only get it back a year later?” He was clearly asking her through gritted teeth.
“Yes, so you’d better be more patient,” she replied.
Just then, Sophia heard the sound of a car as the other end hung up the phone. Then, she soon saw Arthur again in the living room. Though her house was huge,
as soon as this man came in, it was as if the air turned still, making it difficult to breathe. Even Drake and Emma were a little afraid of him.
“Young Master Weiss, please take a seat and have a drink,” Drake said ingratiatingly, as if he were hosting an esteemed guest.
Arthur’s cold and sharp eyes shot straight at Sophia as he demanded, ‘Let’s talk alone.”
Sophia pointed to her father’s study and said, “Let’s talk in the study.
Hence, the two of them went in together, leaving the worried Drake and Emma outside. This young man was clearly a handful at first glance. Could their daughter really have a good chat with him? Would he hit her instead?
In the study, Sophia locked the door
before turning to look at the standing
man. “Mr. Weiss, do you agree to my
request from earlier?” “No.” Arthur gritted his teeth and looked. at her icily. “I want to see my necklace now.”
“Then, you leave me with no choice. I won’t give it to you now. Sophia crossed her arms and looked at him, her head
spinning rapidly with thoughts. She knew very well that his necklace would never be found again. Anyone would pick up such a beautiful item if they saw it, and it would either be sold to the second-hand market or be kept by them. However, how could she quell this man’s anger now?
When cornered, there was no limit to a person’s intelligence, and a plan instantly came to Sophia’s mind. If this man liked her one day, wouldn’t he forgive her and stop pursuing the matter? Although this method came at a price, in order to protect her family, she had no other choice. Hence, Sophia had to make the man in front of her fall in love with her and forgive her, then let go of her family.
Arthur narrowed his eyes at her as she sized him up, as if she was coming up with an ill-intentioned plan.
Seeing through her thoughts, he immediately sneered and said, “I’m not interested in you, so you’d better not get any ideas about me.”
“How about this? For a year. I’ll pledge myself and stay by your side and be your maid. After a year, I will return the necklace to you. What do you think? It’s a good deal, isn’t it?” Sophia raised her small head and asked.
Arthur felt annoyed that this woman had taken possession of his things and did not return them, but she was still being so righteous about it.
“Give it back to me, and I promise not to touch your family.’ Arthur didn’t bother to answer her and just wanted to retrieve his belongings and leave. He was not interested in her at all.
‘I said that I’ll only return it in a year. If you don’t want me to be your maid, that’s okay. See you in a year, then!” Saying that, Sophia pursed her red lips. How dare this man look down on me?
As if her words struck a raw nerve in him, Arthur suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. If you’re offering yourself, I won’t hold back either. As my maid, you’ll have to be by my side at all times. Do you have what it takes?”
Sophia’s eyes flashed with victory. She wanted to get close to him and spend time with him, then find the opportunity to make him fall in love with her and finally forgive her for losing his belongings.
“There’s nothing that I’m afraid of,” Sophia boasted proudly.
A glint of cruelty flashed past Arthur’s eyes. It was true that he would be letting her off easy if he let her go now, so he had to keep her by his side and give her a hard time to vent his anger.
