Chapter 164 The Promise

Suddenly, Sophia's office phone rang. She took the phone and the receptionist asked her to get an email for Victor. Without hesitation, Sophia took it and put it on Victor's desk.

It was afternoon when Victor returned to his office. Sophia was dozing off on her desk. Victor tiptoed to the girl sleeping on the desk. Her face blushed from shyness, and her long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly. He assumed that Sophia might not have a sound sleep.

Victor took out a small brown blanket from a cupboard in the back, and gently covered it on Sophia. When Victor approached Sophia, her face suddenly flashed a smile. It seemed that she had dreamed of something pleasant. Victor couldn't help but want to touch her delicate face, but he just stretched out his hand and touched her skin lightly, as if he was afraid that he would wake her up with a little more force.

The afternoon sunshine shone on them. What a beautiful scene.

When Sophia woke up, she found that Victor was sitting beside the desk and looking at her with interest. Sophia felt her cheeks unconsciously, she asked in a soft voice, "what's wrong? Is there anything on my face? Or is there anything strange with me?"

Victor shook his head, but he kept his eyes on Sophia. In an extremely gentle voice, he said, "no, I just want to look at you like this."

Being stared at by such a naked sight, Sophia was naturally a little shy. When she was about to move, she found a small blanket on her body. She felt warm in her heart, thinking that only this man would treat her like this.

She was a little confused after she slept for a long time. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, so she folded the little blanket and put it on the cupboard behind her office. She walked up to Victor and put her arms around his neck from the back. "You haven't come to the company even after lunch. Have you finished your work? Why do you waste time like this?"

Victor nodded and proudly said, "of course, I am such a great person!" Then he pull Sophia into his arms and she just sat on Victor's chair.

When Sophia raised her head, she saw an email on the desk of Victor's which was unfold. She pointed at it and said, "by the way, this urgent email arrived this afternoon."

Hearing that, Victor took the mail and opened it. What he saw was the invitation to Jenny's engagement party. The envelope was sent in the name of Caspar.

Sophia felt relieved when she saw the invitation. It seemed that she didn't have to think about how to tell Victor this matter.

Victor opened the invitation, waved it in front of Sophia and asked, "do you want to attend it? If you don't, I can pretend that I haven't received it."

Victor thought that Sophia would refu

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ed Sophia so much, he still let her get hurt

For a moment, a mixed feeling of pity and guilt overwhelmed Victor. He buried his head in Sophia's shoulder. He swore that he would never let Sophia get hurt again, and he would do his best to protect her!

Sophia was like a little kitten in Victor's arms, without the slightest movement for a long time. She quietly immersed in his arms full of love, and was reluctant to leave. Victor didn't ask too much from Sophia. He just hugged her on the outside. He didn't want to destroy the rare peace. For Sophia, if Victor was like a vortex that Sophia couldn't extricate, then Sophia was also like a vortex for Victor.

After a long time, Victor released Sophia and gently said, "are you tired? I saw you taking a nap on the table this afternoon. I'm also tired. Let's get off work earlier today, okay?"

Before Sophia could response, Victor got up to pack up his briefcase. He had already sensed the answer from Sophia's slightly tired eyes. Sophia took off his suit jacket and skillfully reorganized it. Then she handed it to him and helped him wear it and took care of his bow tie.

There was a tacit understanding between them. And both of them seemed to enjoy this state of silence.

The next afternoon, in S City, the weather had always been hot. It was rare that there was no strong sunlight. And even the wind brought a cool fragrance. Victor had made time for the whole afternoon. He had to accompany Sophia to select the dress for Jenny's engagement party. Besides, he needed a stylist to design the dress for her.

After lunch, Victor specially went to a place to choose dresses with Sophia. Victor must have told the staff of the store that he would go there. So when he and Sophia got there, all kinds of evening dresses were ready for them to select.
