Chapter 73 That's How It Is
Sophie was blocking the entrance of the company, so the driver had to stop the car.
"Mr. Donovan, do you want to get out of the car and pull Miss Lisbon away?"
The driver turned his head and asked Hubert.
Hubert was silent for a moment and then lowered the car window.
Sophie was excited to see him lower the window. Then, she immediately walked towards him with a bouquet of flowers and a thermos lunchbox in her arms.
"Hubert."
Sophie finally met the man she had been thinking about all day and night. Although she often came here to express her love for Hubert, she hadn't actually seen him in person for a long time.
She missed him so badly!
Although he still looked cold, he was still the most handsome man in her heart.
When Sophie saw Hubert pursed his thin lips, she wanted to lean closer and kiss him.
She wondered if his lips were soft.
Sophie looked at Hubert like he was her prey, which made Hubert frown.
"Miss Lisbon."
"Hubert, just call me Sophie."
Sophie had a bright smile. She shoved the lunch box through the car window and said, "I brought you breakfast. You can eat it while it's hot. And here are the flowers for you."
Hubert didn't take the lunchbox. And he wouldn't take the flowers, for he didn't like them.
"The traffic was terrible. How did you get here?"
Hubert just wanted to know how Sophie and Teresa knew each other.
Hearing Hubert's question, Sophie laughed and said directly, "I'm smart. I parked my car in front of a store. Then I informed my bodyguard to come over and drive my car back home. Then I stopped an electronic bike, and I made it all the way here without a hitch."
So that was it.
No wonder she and Teresa got to know each other.
"Hubert, it was amazing that the moment I reached out, I stopped the one related to a trending topic. She's the girl from the trending topic about 'ungrateful granddaughters'. Teresa was very nice. And we clicked right away."
Hubert thought, 'Sophie is known in Watenll City for her arrogance and aggressiveness. She and Teresa actually hit it off.'
Given Teresa's personality, it was only natural that Sophie would get along well with Teresa.
"Drive!"
After figuring out the reason, Hubert instructed the driver to drive in a deep voice.
"Hubert, take these flowers. And eat breakfast. I rushed here and brought it for you to eat. And I have prepared breakfast for you particularly. Hubert..."
The moment the car started up, Sophie was left behind.
She could only throw the bouquet of flowers inside Hubert's car. She didn't throw the lunch box because the breakfast would have spilled in his car, and it would have made Hubert angry.
It was rare that Hubert talked to her. Besides, Sophie didn't want to upset Hubert.
However, the bouquet of flowers she had thrown in the car was soon thrown out of the car and dropped on the ground by Hubert.
Sophie chased after the car for a few steps but couldn't catch up with it, so she could only give up.
She didn't dare to break into the Donovan Group because it would be too humiliating if Hubert told his bodyguards to carry her out and dump her on the curb.
The moment Hubert entered the building, he met Morgan, his special assistant.
Morgan first glanced at Hubert's hand and noticed that he came with empty hands today.
Then he approached Hubert. He teased as he whispered, "How come you didn't bring the breakfast your wife made for you to the office today?"
"I had it in the car."
Morgan felt speechless.
"By the way, I just saw a very dramatic scene. Do you want to hear it?"
Hubert glared at Morgan. Then, he didn't stop walking. He kept walking further. He put on a straight face as he pursed his lips. He remained silent.
Morgan hated the way Hubert looked. And he was so mean and gossipy. "I came to the office early. And I happened to see your wife dropping off Miss Lisbon, so I stopped to see what was going on."
"Before your car arrived at the company, your wife had a good chat with Miss Lisbon. Mr. Donovan, your wife and your admirer seem to appreciate each other. It seems that they will become good friends. What do you think of this?"
Hubert didn't want to pay any attention to Morgan, so he went into the elevator and left Morgan alone.
Morgan wasn't angry. Then he chuckled. He thought, 'This is going to be the drama of the year.'
He wondered how Teresa would react if Hubert's identity was revealed one day.
When Warren answered the phone, Hubert said coldly, "Mr. Lisbon, if you can't get your sister under control again, don't blame me for being rude."
And his patience was running out of time.
Warren got a headache and said, "Mr. Donovan, Sophie didn't cross the line. She just likes you. She's chasing after you. Anyway, I can't break her legs."
He could do nothing with his sister.
Even if he had someone watching his sister, his sister could still find a way to run away from the house.
"Hubert, you and I are about the same age. I've been married for a few years. And you've only had one suitor. For the sake of my sister being the first one who pursues you, just... bear with it."
Hubert hung up the phone straight away.
He knew Sophie very well.
In addition to ignoring Sophie, even if he was rude to Sophie, she would start all over. Even if he ruined her reputation, she wouldn't even give up on him. Unless he broke her legs.
Warren's face darkened when he was hung up on. Then, he couldn't help but call his sister and criticize her.
Sophie was already on her way home in a taxi.
"Warren, I'm on my way home. I really didn't do anything unbelievable today. I'm not that smart. I just can't think of anything like that."
Warren said, "... Could you spend more time with our mom instead of wasting your time on Hubert? And Mom will be happier."
"I do spend time with our mom. Mom is depressed inside. And the only way to heal her is to get closure. I'm our mom's baby girl, but I'm really not her cure."
Sarah was troubled by her constant desire to find her sister, from whom she had been separated for decades.
Her sister had been adopted by many families before. And she didn't even know where her sister was.
Sarah hoped she could get together with her sister in her lifetime.
"By the way, Warren, let me tell you something. Give her a hand."
"What is it?"
As long as Sophie wasn't asking Warren to help her figure out how to pursue Hubert, he was still willing to help her.
"I just met a girl. Her name is Teresa. And she's made a good impression on me. And we clicked right away. I've told you about that trending topic. And her vicious relatives have gone too far. You should fire the one whose surname is Heller. Don't let him tarnish our company's reputation."
Warren said, "I don't have to handle such trivial matters."
"Did someone make a move?"
Warren said, "I didn't. I guess he was suspended."
His subordinates would take care of it.
Petter worked in a branch company. As competent as Petter was, the trending topic about his family stirred up the public wrath. It seemed Petter had a very poor character. And Warren didn't like to hire employees like Petter.
