Chapter 88 Sophie's Purpose
"Teresa, I did not expect you can make such handicrafts. They are pretty!" Sophie complimented her when seeing the things she had made.
She picked up a fortune cat, carefully looked at it, and praised, "It's cute!"
"If you like them, I'll send you a few of my products as gifts. They're not worth much money."
"I like them very much." Sophie nodded heavily, "Thank you."
She then asked, "Teresa, are you selling these handicrafts?"
"Yes. I have an online store, which specializes in my handicrafts. The sales are good, but this month, my business is booming."
Sophie smiled, "Send me your online store's URL, and I will share it with my friends. I will help you market them. They are indeed pretty."
Knowing what had happened to Teresa, Sophie was willing to help her sell her products. Sophie was a picky person. If she thought Teresa's handicrafts were beautiful, others would like them. Even if they did not like them, they would buy some for Sophie's sake.
Sophie was very influential in the high society circles in Waternll City.
"Thank you so much, Miss Lisbon."
After asking Sophie to sit down, Teresa went to pour a glass of water for her.
After small talk, she asked, "Miss Lisbon, why did you suddenly come here? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Of course, she didn't think she could help Sophie do anything, who was the young lady of the Lisbon Group.
A few days ago, Teresa had gossiped with Gwen about the affair between Young Master Donovan and Sophie. But now, the latter had come to meet her in person, and they were talking like friends who had known each other for many years. She had never expected such a thing to happen and couldn't believe she was so lucky.
Gwen's family had tens of thousands of dollars, but she had no chance to make friends with wealthy young ladies like Sophie. Teresa was just an ordinary person, but Sophie had come to visit her. Teresa decided to buy a lottery ticket when she got off work tonight. Maybe she would hit the jackpot and win millions of dollars.
Sophie smiled, "I won't bother you for nothing. I'm here because I need your help."
Teresa looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
In Teresa's eyes, Sophie was beautiful and attractive-shaped. And she had a good temperament and distinguished family background. So, she believed Sophie and Young Master Donovan were a perfect match although she had never seen the latter and did not know what he looked like. Young Master Donovan was arrogant and cold and could make Sophie obsessed with him, so he must be handsome.
Teresa secretly wondered whether he was better-looking than Hubert. They were both surnamed Donovan, so they might have the same ancestry.
"Teresa, both of us have been on trending topics, and we know each other's affairs. So, I will say it directly. Please don't laugh at me. I came to you because of Young Master Donovan. You know I like him very much, and I have been in a one-sided love with him for several years. I thought of giving up before, but I found I couldn't let go. Therefore, I expressed my feelings for him in public and am chasing after him bravely now. Anyway, we're both single. No one can blame me for chasing after him. I did not violate the law or public morals. But no one supports me. Originally, my sister-in-law was supportive. But after my brother talked with her, she changed her mind. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, you make me feel familiar, and I have already regarded you as my friend. So, I came to you to pour out my bitterness. What's wrong with me falling in love and pursuing him? " Sophie was distressed.
Her family was not supportive, and even her best friends persuaded her to give up, saying that it was too hard to chase after Hubert and that their companies were competitors.
Only Teresa had encouraged her to go on making efforts. So, she relied on Teresa and regarded her as a confidant to whom she could talk.
"If he has a wife or a girlfriend, I will not pursue him no matter how good he is. I am an excellent woman, so I don't need to steal another woman's man. But he is single. I love him, so I must make effort. Even if I fail in the end, I will not regret it in the future," Sophie said sincerely.
Teresa had heard that Sophie was arrogant and willful. After all, she had been born to such a distinguished family. But now, she thought she was the same as all the ordinary girls who were lovesick.
Teresa agreed with her opinion and thought they shared the same values. When she had accompanied Gwen to the banquet that night, she had heard some gossip about Young Master Donovan and knew he was single. It was said a group of bodyguards followed him everywhere to prevent young women from getting close. He did not give any chance to any young woman. Sophie was bold and had expressed her love for him in public. Otherwise, he would not have had any love affairs.
"Miss Lisbon, you did not do anything wrong. Everyone has the right to pursue their true love. Young Master Donovan is unmarried, and he even doesn't have a girlfriend. And you are also single. It did not violate the law or public morals for you to chase after him. It's a normal thing."
Hearing this, Sophie nodded heavily, "You are the only person who supports me in chasing after him."
Teresa smiled, understanding why she had come to her. None of her family members or friends were supportive of her now, so when Teresa suddenly stood by her side to support her, she could not wait to come to talk to her.
"Teresa, have you ever been in a serious relationship?"
"I had dated a man in college, but after graduation, we broke up because of our different choices."
Many campus couples went to different cities after graduation, and their relationship also ended. Teresa and her first love were one of them.
"Did you chase after him? Do you have any experience in pursuing men? Please give me some useful tricks."
Teresa said, "...Well, in fact, my relationship with my first love was not deep, and it ended soon after it started. Neither of us pursued the other. We had a good impression of each other at first. After we got increasingly familiar with each other, we began to date. We went shopping and ate out together, but we even have never held hands. After we graduated, we went to different places and broke up."
Sophie was stunned. After a long while, she said, "This is too miserable. You broke up before you could hold hands. It means your romantic relationship ended before it started."
"It's a pity. Since graduation, I've been single for many years till now."
"It's okay. I'm also single."
Teresa chuckled, "I don't think being single is a bad thing. I'm free now. After getting married, we will have to support and maintain a family. It's too stressful. I prefer being single."
For example, Leila's marriage was a burden.
Although Teresa was married now, she had signed an agreement with Hubert, so they were equivalent to a contracted couple. Currently, she was still in a hidden marriage, so it was OK for her to tell outsiders that she was single.
