Chapter 31 Sophie Lisbon
After breakfast, Teresa cleaned up the kitchen as usual. And then, she came out and said to Hubert, "I'll go to work now. Remember to lock the door when you leave."
Hubert glanced at her and then lowered his head to continue eating the spaghetti.
"By the way, can I give some of the fruits in the refrigerator to my sister?"
She had bought a lot of fruits that day. After her in-laws had left, there was a lot left. She had Hubert couldn't eat that many fruits, so they would go bad after a long time.
Hubert said, "Your sister is also my family member. You can give her as many fruits as you want. You don't need to ask for my permission. In our family, you can make your own decisions unless there is something huge."
"We don't know each other very well, and I am living in your apartment. I am asking you about it because I want to show my respect. I'm not taking advantage of you to help my sister, and I will not keep giving your things to her or my parents. I bought too many fruits that day, and we can't eat them all. They will go bad after a long time, so I want to give some to her. It is not a good thing to waste food after all."
Hubert nodded.
Seeing that he had no objection, Teresa packed two bags of fruits and went to her sister's place.
Seeing her, Leila said, "Don't give your things to me. If I want to eat fruits, I will go to buy some by myself."
"There are only Hubert and me at home. I eat some occasionally, but Hubert doesn't like fruits. They will go bad soon, and we don't want to waste food. It is Hubert that asked me to bring them to you, and he said that you're his family member."
She had never seen Hubert eat fruit.
He left early and returned late every day. And as soon as he came back, he went straight into his bedroom and did not come out until the next morning. He barely ate fruit or snacks at home.
Teresa suspected that if she had not made breakfast for him, he would eat out as he used to, and there would not be even an egg at home.
Hearing this, Leila accepted the fruits.
Teresa had played with her nephew for a while before going back to the bookshop.
As soon as Teresa went out, Hubert hurriedly poured the unfinished spaghetti into the trash can. At first, he had felt it was sour and delicious, but the more he ate, the sourer it tasted.
He couldn't eat it at all.
As he had said, he had never experienced the taste of jealousy!
He did not want Teresa to see the spaghetti in the trash can when she came back in the evening, so he went out with the trash bag.
The bodyguards were waiting for him downstairs.
Since Teresa had left home first, they didn't need to worry about being noticed anymore.
Seeing Hubert coming downstairs with a trash bag, they were all transfixed. They had worked for him for years and always regarded him as a god who would never do housework.
Hubert threw away the trash and then walked to his car. After he took a few steps, he found the bodyguards had not followed up. So, he turned his head to them and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter with you? Why are you standing still? "
Hearing this, the bodyguards came back to their senses and hurriedly walked up to him.
The commercial vehicle that Hubert used to pretend to be poor was driven to the Donovan Group by a bodyguard every day. When Hubert got off work, he would drive it back home.
After half an hour, Hubert's car arrived at the gate of the company, but a red Ferrari suddenly blocked his way with an arrogant and domineering vibe.
The girl in the Ferrari had long wavy hair and delicate facial features. And she was wearing a diamond necklace, a diamond bracelet, and diamond earrings. In short, she was richly bejeweled.
Soon, she got out of the Ferrari, walked over to Hubert's Rolls-Royce, and knocked on the car window.
Hubert rolled down the window and said coldly, "Sophie, you have two minutes to drive your car away!"
Sophie was the daughter of the chairman of the Lisbon Group and Warren's younger sister. She was deeply pampered by the Lisbon family and was the noblest young lady in Watenll City.
"Hubert, wait a minute."
As if remembering something, she rushed back to her car and took out a large bouquet of bright roses.
Then, she ran back with the bouquet, stuffed it into Hubert's car, and said, "Hubert, please accept my roses. Although you and Warren are on bad terms, I love you. And I think I should let you know how much I love you."
The Lisbon Group and the Donovan Group were not deadly rivals, but they were competitors in many industries. Therefore, they had some conflicts when doing business and were at odds.
But Warren's sister Sophie had fallen in love with Hubert at first sight at a banquet many years ago. Because of the conflicts in business, not only her brother but also her parents who had always spoiled her did not approve of her pursuing him.
Although Sophie had been pampered since childhood, she was not a brainless person. She had tried to give up. But after a few years, she liked him even more instead of forgetting him.
She liked Hubert's icy temperament the most and thought he was cool. Because he didn't allow young women to approach him, she had a desire to conquer him. Since she could not forget him, she decided to bravely tell him she loved him no matter what her family thought.
From today on, she would begin to openly pursue him!
Hubert's face instantly became sullen.
He grabbed the bunch of flowers with one hand and threw them out.
Then, he rolled up the car window and coldly ordered, "Drive!"
"Hubert, I love you! I will pursue you!" Sophie shouted while slapping the car window.
Hubert's driver started the car and said, "Mr. Donovan, Miss Lisbon's car..."
"Hit it!"
The driver did not slam on the accelerator to hit it. But a bodyguard car behind rushed forward and knocked Sophie's multi-million-dollar Ferrari away, making a loud noise.
The security guards on duty were dumbfounded.
After knocking her car away, Hubert's Rolls-Royce quickly ran into the company.
Sophie was stunned when seeing that her newly purchased Ferrari was hit and damaged by Hubert's bodyguard car. When she came back to her senses, she tried to catch up with him, but the security guards had already closed the gate of the company.
"Hubert!" Sophie shouted, "You ruined my car, so you must compensate me! You owe me this! I will come here every day to ask for a new car!"
Although she was distressed that her car had been damaged, on second thought, she found she had an excuse to pester Hubert now.
Sophie felt this collision had given her more opportunities.
Anyway, she had confessed his feelings to Hubert and told him clearly that she would pursue him!
No matter what the result was, she had tried her best, so she would never regret it.
And she thought Hubert had looked cool when ordering his subordinates to hit her car away. Of course, he would have looked cooler if it were not her car.
The security guards on duty wondered why Miss Lisbon was so bold today. She had acted widely in the office building of the Donovan Group and said she would pursue Mr. Donovan! What an audacious woman!
