Martha looked at her grandson in surprise. As she had watched him grow up since he was a child, she knew his personality and preferences well. When Arthur met her gaze, there was a flash of discomfort in his eyes..
“Are you hiding something from me?” she immediately asked.
“No.”
“Out with it. Tell me about Miss Sophia. I want to know what kind of girl can affect my grandson as well.” Martha refused to let him avoid the topic.
Arthur chuckled. “She’s just an ordinary girl. There’s nothing special.”
Looking at her grandson’s reaction, she felt that this girl named Sophia was not just anyone and became even more interested in the reason why this girl was able to make her grandson defend her like this.
“Grandma, I’ll ask the realtors to come over and talk to you tomorrow.” Arthur changed the subject.
Martha didn’t continue to probe either After all, she would be here for some time, and she would eventually get the chance to meet that girl.
Meanwhile, Drake had already returned to Goodwin Residence to recuperate his health. Sophia saw that all of the staff in the house had been dismissed, and her mother had started to take charge of the cooking. However, because it had been quite a while since Emma last cooked, her skills had become rusty, and she accidentally cut her finger while cutting vegetables for dinner.
At the table, Drake blamed himself. “It’s all my fault. If I didn’t get set up by that b’stard, we can at least hire a maid.”
Sophia felt her heart ache for Emma as well and she offered, “I’ll cook from now on!”
Emma smiled. “It’s fine! I don’t think you even know how to hold a knife.”
Seeing that her family was starting to live frugally, Sophia couldn’t afford to sit around anymore. It just so happened that:
Arthur gave her a vacation, so she could take the opportunity to find a job. In the evening, she started to write a résumé and sent it to many large companies online, hoping that she could get a job as soon as possible.
At night, in Martha’s room at Arthur’s villa, Emily reported to her what had happened in the past few days, making Sophia seem like a seductress.
“Grandma, she took Artie to fool around in a hotel last night, and even had her pajamas wet. After that, when I tagged along with the bodyguard to send them a new set, I saw that the two of them were only wearing bathrobes in the room.”
Martha frowned. When did her grandson start liking to fool around with girls in hotels? He was simply ruining their family’s name.
“It seems that I have to meet Miss Sophia when I have the time.”
“Grandma, when you meet her, you have to warn her to stay away from Artie,” Emily reminded.
Martha nodded before saying, “Then, you have to work hard too! Don’t waste the opportunity that I created for you and Artie.”
Emily pursed her lips and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, “I will.”
Early in the morning, Sophia answered a call in a daze. “Hello? Who is it?”
“Hello, are you Miss Sophia? I’m from the HR department at Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier. We have arranged for you to interview for the front desk job at 10 o’clock in the morning. Do you have time to come over?”
When Sophia heard this, she hurriedly replied in an excited tone, “Yes, yes, I’ll definitely be there.”
She was ecstatic as she didn’t expect to receive a response when she had just submitted her resume the previous night. Besides, Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier was a high-end jewelry brand, so it was promising for her career.
After hurriedly getting out of bed, she washed up and put on makeup before leaving. When the time for her appointment came, Sophia’s attractive appearance and elegant aura that she had gained from her dance practice since she was a child were in line with the requirements to be a receptionist.
“Sophia, you can start work tomorrow!” The manager of the HR department instantly hired her.
She felt incredibly lucky. The salary and benefits of the company were not bad as well and completely met her expectations.
When Sophia arrived for her first day at work on Tuesday, she saw that amongst the six receptionists, she was placed on the far left. Although they were working at the front desk, they still had complicated feelings toward each other, especially toward other girls who were prettier than them. Sophia was dressed in a professional suit with her long hair tied back, and her slim figure gave off a refreshing and stunning aura.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Sophia, and I just started working here. I’ll be in your care.” She greeted them.
was a little surprised. It was her first time entering the workforce, and she had already encountered a crisis.
She sat in her position, and there was only a transition plan from the previous staff. As for instructions on how to work, they did not specify in detail.
“Excuse me…” She tried to ask her colleague next to her.
“Don’t ask me. I won’t teach you,” the girl replied arrogantly.
At her answer, Sophia didn’t dare to ask any more questions. Just then, the phone in front of her rang, and she reached out to pick it up. “Hello. How may I help you?”
“Transfer my call to the general manager of the planning department.” A male voice instructed her from the other end of the call.
“Huh? Wait a moment, let me check.” Sophia quickly flipped through the transition plan, but she still couldn’t find an answer after a long time.
The person on the call said angrily, “What’s wrong with you?” After speaking, he instantly hung up.
Sophia’s forehead beaded with sweat from her nervousness. As she wiped her sweat in frustration, the girl next to her sneered, “How could you come to work without any experience?”
“This is indeed my first job.”
“I think you should quit! You can’t handle it.” Her female colleague didn’t want to help her, and she didn’t want her to remain as a receptionist either.
Still, Sophia didn’t give up and replied, “I will try my best. I need this job.”
She was just looking at documents when she saw that her colleagues who had been lazing around suddenly straightened their backs and acted as though they were working hard. She was taken aback by the sight, and as she looked in the direction of the entrance, she saw a slender and charming figure walking in gracefully.
The woman was Anastasia Tillman, the current president of Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier. She had wavy long hair and delicate features, and she wore a luxurious white custom-made suit that complimented her gorgeous waistline as she walked past the front desk while talking on the phone.
