Chapter 139
“Okay!
Okay!
Don’t go into detail.
You’re leaving for New york after two days, right?
“Yes p>
The launch party is in New York.
But why are you asking this?
“Because, most probably, Brandon’s surgery is in the next week.
And after that, he might have to take bed rest for 3-6 weeks because of the injury, so I was thinking if you can bring Ms.
Morgan with you while returning back to here?
“Ms.
Morgan, the same old witch who had healed Brandon when he got shot.
“Yes, the same.
But I didn’t know she was a witch.
Do you think she will still be alive?
“Hopefully, I will ask Joshua to check on her.
“Yes, please.
Because Brandon had to bear the pain for a week for a tiny surgery on his hand, I can’t imagine the pain that he will have to bear for more than one month.
“I get it.
Sophia observed how the people around her were observing her Bracelet and the pendant on her neck.
She was positive that most of the people’s thoughts around her wouldn’t be positive ones.
She had back-to-back three meetings alined for the day, so most of the people observed it, and she could also hear the people taking behind her back.
A part of her wanted to take them out and keep them in her bag but then didn’t do that.
Why should she?
That too for the people who didn’t matter much in her life
“Ms.
Weasley p>
” Shailey, her assistant, spoke when she observed that her boss was not going to explain a word to anyone.
I don’t understand the people around us.
“What do you not understand, Shailey?
“That p>
that why do people start whispering and talking about someone’s back when they saw anything good happening to others.
I mean, people used to say how MISER you are, even after earning so much profit from your business, you barely spend money on your clothes or any jewelry.
” She said, recalling how her boss had barely 12-15 clothes that she used to repeat most of the time, while the employees under her had more than 30-50 clothes which they barely repeat in a month or something in two.
“And now that you’re wearing diamonds today, they are whispering, who could have given that to you?
First, you got such an important investor, who belongs to the Royal family, and now this.
” She muttered in a disappointed tone.
“Can’t a woman get a gift from herself?
Or Can’t a woman succeed in her career with hard work?
“You can’t change anyone’s way of thinking, Shailey,” Sophia said with a smile.
“But yes, they are right about the fact that I didn’t buy these two expensive gifts with my money though I can afford them, but I can’t think of spending so much, at least not on me.
“You didn’t buy it?
“No,” Sophia said, chuckling.
“Then… hold on, do your Ex-husband gifted you these two?
” Shailey asked, and her eyes twinkled when she saw Sophia nodding.
“Actually, my babies chose them for me, but yes, he paid for both of them.
” Sophia corrected her.
“Wow!
” Shailey mumbled.
“I didn’t know… your Ex-husband is that rich?
Ha.
ha.
” She then laughed.
“I didn’t even know you have an ex-husband till last week.
Sophia smiled at her assistant.
“Seems like he is trying his best to win your heart.
“Maybe.
” She shrugged, saying it casually.
“I can guess, after this, it will be the turn of your big shiny diamond ring.
” Shailey teased on which Sophia started thinking about how Brandon and their twins went out with him.
So, was there any chance that they finalize anything about the ring?
Or did they go to the jewelry shop just to buy these two gifts?
“Maybe, Shailey.
I don’t know about it yet.
Maybe, this is a surprise for me.
“So, how did you thank him for these two gifts?
” She asked.
When Sophia raised her eyebrow, Shailey quickly realized that she was not her friend but her boss.
“I… I apologize.
Ms.
Weasley.
“It’s okay, Shailey.
I know we never discuss personal life much.
In fact, I have never talked about this topic with anyone yet, so I don’t know much about what I should give him in return.
I mean, just a small thank you will look like nothing in front of his gift.
I mean, he is trying his best to impress me with his second chance.
I don’t want him to feel that I’m doing nothing, but then I seriously have no idea anything about it.
” Sophia said.
Only if her mother were alive could she have discussed the same with her.
She had a choice of taking help from Rebecca, but she knew Rebecca and Oliver were mates; if she would come to know anything, Oliver would sense it too.
That was the reason Eden and Arya didn’t tell about Brandon to her because eventually, information would pass to Oliver as well.
Moreover, they were instructed to pass only that news in which her involvement was required.
They were not spies who had to inform even the news of each and everything because, being a queen, she had a lot of things to handle.
“I can suggest to you some ideas if you want.
My husband loves that way of thanking him.
” Shailey said.
“But I’m positive that the taste of your husband and my babies’ father are different.
What do you suggest?
Should I get an expensive watch or Bracelet or ring for him?
“By observing your gifts, I guess your umm p>
soon-to-be husband is rich enough to buy those things on his own.
” Shailey reluctantly said, shaking her head at her idea.
“You should give him something that no one can give him.
