"Little Sophie, you must believe, your dad truly loves you,..."
But at this mont, any words appear so feeble and powerless behind the cruel truth.
Sophie Smith feels her mories are being drained, leaving only a blank space, with occasional fragnted images abruptly entering her mind.
She painfully closes her eyes.
"Miss Smith, why are you still standing at the company entrance? Sunny has been waiting for you for a long ti," Julia Brown urges Sophie Smith as she exits the company building.
"Hey, Miss Smith, who are you talking to?" Julia casts a disdainful glance at Christopher Smith, finding his attire and appearance mismatched with Sophie Smith’s temperant.
"This is my dad." Sophie can clearly see the disdain in Julia’s eyes, but this is absolutely sothing she does not allow.
"Oh, oh, so it’s Miss Smith’s father. Hello, sir, I’m Julia," Julia quickly adapts, knowing she shouldn’t neglect Sophie Smith’s father.
"Sir, would you like to co into the company for a cup of tea?" Julia asks ingratiatingly.
"Thank you, no need."
Julia doesn’t know about Sophie’s family matters, only sensing a sowhat awkward relationship between the two.
"Little Sophie, dad will leave now. If one day you feel like talking, I would be deeply grateful," Christopher Smith says with a hint of heartache.
After speaking, he turns and leaves, disappearing from Sophie’s sight.
Sophie’s eyes are red, and she stands there, unable to move for a mont.
"Miss Smith, what’s wrong?" Julia calls out to her several tis, but she doesn’t respond.
"Sunny called to urge, Miss Smith, can you co inside first?" Julia says sowhat helplessly.
Sophie finally snaps back to reality, gathers her emotions, and walks toward the company.
...
Asher Land checks his watch; it’s nearly six o’clock. He closes his computer, ready to leave work.
He retrieves his car from the garage, initially heading to the Land Family residence, but suddenly recalls sothing and turns the car in the opposite direction.
Nanny Garcia ntioned she hadn’t gone ho yet and was still at the company, so,...
The car smoothly stops at the entrance of Sophie’s agency. As he enters, all the employees bow their heads, greeting him.
"Hello, President Land."
"Hmm," Asher Land responds softly, continuing to walk inward.
Everyone is curious about the Big Boss Land’s purpose for visiting the company but dares not ask, so they follow behind him, waiting for instructions.
"President Land, what brings you here?" Sunny approaches from afar, greeting him with a smile.
Sunny is a top agent, holding so prestige in the company. Unlike others who fear Asher Land, she is not so distant from him.
After all, she relies on her eloquence for a living.
Asher Land stops, glancing behind Sunny, but does not see the person he wants to find.
Sunny’s sharp intuition has already gleaned so information; everyone in the circle knows Sophie Smith is connected to Asher Land, but no one dares to spread rumors, fearing Asher Land’s influence.
It’s late, and besides seeking Sophie Smith, there should be no other reason for his visit.
"President Land, you’re here to bring Miss Smith ho, right?" Sunny speaks.
