“Pack your belongings and follow me.” As soon as Arthur said that, he walked outside.
“Would it be possible for you to give me two days off?” Sophia asked him from behind.
The man retorted in an icy tone, “No.”
Sophia sighed, realizing that she will have to put in a lot of effort to please this man. The only thing she can do right now is to keep him from getting angry, given her current situation.
She took down her unpacked suitcase from her room and told her parents, “Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, I’m going on a trip. You should enjoy your time together and wait for my return.”
“You’re leaving again, Sophia; where are you going?” With a worried expression on her face, Mrs. Goodwin questioned as she
held her daughter.
Sophia assured her mother, “Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll be fine.”
“Is this what Mr Weiss means when he says he wants you to be responsible, and
where is he taking you?” a worried Drake
Goodwin questioned.
“No, Young Master Weiss is not an evil man. He said that he wishes to accompany me while I search the area where I had lost it. You may just wait for me at home, and maybe we will find it together,” she murmured softly.
After hearing these words, her parents felt relieved and hoped that they could get it back and appease Young Master Weiss.
She took her suitcase with her and left. Her parents got out of the house to watch her get into the car, but they were still too worried.
At this very moment, the pendant in the storage room beneath the staircase was emitting a resentful glow. Even though its owner had been here for a while, he had ignored it and left.
Sophia hadn’t slept for about thirty hours after hearing about her father’s incident. She dozed off out of weariness as soon as she got into the seat.
They arrive at a bar where Arthur Weiss has established it as his personal hangout spot. An exquisite master bedroom was built on the second floor just for his stay.
The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the back seat door to find the girl sleeping soundly. “Master, she’s asleep,” he informed the man who had exited from the other vehicle.
Arthur found the girl sleeping in the backseat as he approached the car. He was furious yet again. How is it that she could go to sleep after all?
“Wake her up,” he mumbled as he walked away. “Hey, Sophia Goodwin, get up.” The bodyguard yelled.
She awoke, startled, then grinned, and said, “Oh, we’re here!”
She brought her suitcase into the bar with her and asked them in a curious tone, “Why do you guys live in a bar?”
“Sophia Goodwin, you’re only the Master’s maid; don’t talk rubbish; remember, the Master wants silence.” She was reminded by the bodyguard.
She fought through her exhaustion and followed the bodyguard with a sigh. The bodyguard ordered, pointing to the staircase, ‘Head upstairs and find a room for yourself.”
Sophia gave a slight nod, knowing that after becoming the maid for this man, she couldn’t expect for much. She went upstairs, found a room, and slumped on the bed to sleep.
In another room, Arthur Weiss was
becoming uneasy as he assessed what was going on. The item was not recovered and he brought an unpleasant woman along with him, which was not his style.
If he was letting her free in exchange for the return of an important family heirloom after a year, it would seem to be
too lenient for the woman.
He became exasperated as he thought about it. Then, he rushed into Sophia’s room to find a way to traumatize her, but when he got there, she was sleeping again.
The afternoon sun glistened on her curled-up shape, revealing her wavy and sensual curves, her long auburn hair, and her flawless skin, which gleamed and glistened like jade, as well as her thick and light brows. Under the pleasant warmth of the sun, her upturned nose and soft pinkish lips took on a youthful charm that was reminiscent of innocence.
He narrowed his eyes as he watched her sleeping peacefully, and for a moment, Arthur was unsure if he should wake her up or let her keep sleeping this way.
In the end, he decided to leave.
Sophia slept till she awoke, opened her eyes, and saw it was darkness outside the window. She stretched out, and her eyes gleamed like beautiful diamonds, with excitement of unexpected prospects and Fantasies ahead.
