Chapter 103: I Came to Keep You Company
Sophia handed over the remaining matters to the bodyguard, which she had already arranged.
She came for just one night and then immediately returned to her country.
The following evening.
Inside the chairman’s office of Eagle Entertainment.
Mike exchanged glances with him.
Pierce’s wrist was still swollen when the signed contract was delivered, and there was a demand for an
additional investment to become the exclusive investor.
Mike couldn’t get excited about this great thing that day.
He looked at Pierce with a smile:
“What conditions did Mr. Clement want?”
Pierce’s eyes were deep, his tone casual as he began to speak:
“I wanted Sophia to sign the contract personally.”
Mike tugged at the corner of his mouth, unable to help but speak:
“As far as I knew, you guys divorced because of a lack of feelings, didn’t you? Always meeting up, isn’t
that a bit inappropriate?”
Pierce swallowed, responding seriously:
It was for official business, there was nothing to avoid suspicion.”
Mike pursed his lips and gave a smile:
I called her, but she wasn’t at the office.
The reasons and conditions given by Pierce were irresistible.
After all, Pierce did own some shares in Eagle Entertainment, and he was going to invest in a new
drama under the name of the Clement Group.
If they had rejected him, how would others in the industry have speculated about their relationship?
Now that I was riding the tiger, it was hard to get off, so I had to bite the bullet and go on.
Mike directly called Sophia.
After a long time, Sophia finally picked it up with a somewhat languid and leisurely manner:
“Mr. Brant, it’s almost time to get off work now, any further instructions?”
“Hadn’t you gotten off work yet? Where were you?”
Sophia paused for a moment, then began to speak with a smile:
“I was shopping at the mall, always feeling that I didn’t have enough clothes to wear, or enough jewelry
to put on. In a while, I was going to have hot pot with Derick. Do you have anything else?”
The voice on the phone came through, and Pierce’s face instantly fell.
Somehow, Mike felt the temperature in the office had suddenly

dropped.
He paused, glanced at the stern and deep Pierce, and began to speak: Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Mr. Clement came to discuss the signing matter. The cooperation was negotiated by you, so you have
to sign it.”
Sophia sneered and flatly refused:
“No, I was going to cat.”
“The client came with money, we couldn’t refuse, Ms. Cruise. We were waiting for you at the company,
we wouldn’t leave without you!”
After finishing his words, Mike hung up the phone, feeling somewhat
uneasy.
He knew Sophia was not a person who let emotions dictate her actions. Pierce looked solemn, casually
sipped his coffee, and then said lightly: “Did Eagle Entertainment recently collaborate with Derick?”
Mike was drinking tea. He took a sip before he began to speak in a leisurely manner:
“Yes, there were plenty. But Sophia was too outstanding, with a bunch of men chasing after her. Derick
was just one of them. Who knows if he collaborated with Eagle Entertainment just to get close to
Sophia?”
Pierce’s ink–black eyes were steeped in cold emotions, his breath sinking along with them, and
creases furrowed his brow.
He knew, that substitute had ulterior motives, harboring ill intentions!
Damn it!
office.
Mike had been waiting for two hours on an empty stomach, feeling very uncomfortable. Sitting with
Pierce made it even worse.
When Sophia knocked on the door and came in, it was like seeing a savior.
“Ms. Cruise, you finally arrived. Huh, why do I smell hot pot on you? Have you eaten?”
Mike asked in surprise.
Sophia chuckled, rightfully raising an eyebrow:
“Of course, I couldn’t possibly come back to work on an empty stomach, could I? However, considering
you were still waiting here, I came back without changing my clothes. You don’t mind, do you?”
She had done everything she was supposed to do, she didn’t want to get too involved with him in the
first place.
Mike paused, “I don’t mind.”
What could it matter if one minded?
Pierce looked at her with a quiet gaze, feeling increasingly uncomfortable inside.
He had waited here for two hours, and sure enough, she went to have dinner with Derick.
I was inexplicably a bit angry.
But thinking about the injustice she suffered that afternoon, what was his own two–hour wait in
comparison?

She must have felt awful, and Pierce’s heart ached even more,
The anger that had originally been pent up in my heart also disappeared lightly.
She went shopping to clear her mind after arguing with Ava, because she loved herself too much!
She was just pretending to be strong, Pierce knew it all in his heart.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come without even changing my clothes.
The most detestable was Derick, who took advantage of the situation. He was no good!
He thought to himself, stood up with a gentle and clear aura, and looked deeply into her eyes, saying:
“Of course I didn’t mind, as long as you enjoyed your meal.”
Next time, he was going to accompany her to cat hot pot!
Mike looked at Pierce in surprise.
Just a moment ago, he clearly had the intent to kill, how did he change so quickly?
Such a fickle man, it was better for Sophia to keep her distance!
Mike coughed, and the thought of leaving early was instantly dismissed.
“Quick, the contract is here, the lawyer has already reviewed it, Ms. Cruise, please come and sign it!”
Sophia glanced at Pierce, walked over with an indifferent expression, took a look at the document,
indeed there was no chones

the figure in the amount column had doubled.
She didn’t know what he was up to, but she wouldn’t turn down money either.
She lowered her head to sign her name, then casually placed the pen aside.
“I’ve signed it, Chairman. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
Mike nodded in satisfaction, waving his hand grandly:
“Off you went.”
Pierce’s eyes turned cold, seizing the opportunity to say:
“To celebrate, how about we go for some late–night snacks?”
Sophia frowned, “I just finished eating, I’m not hungry.”
Mike nodded, “Exactly, Mr. Clement, I haven’t eaten, I’ll join you.”
Pierce’s eyes tightened, and he immediately changed his words:
“Shall we go to see a movie then?”
Sophia glanced at him indifferently, her voice devoid of emotion:
“Didn’t go, not interested.”
Mike immediately spoke up:
“Mr. Clement, I’ll go, I’ll accompany you to watch. I really like watching movies!”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, clapping:
“Great, I wish you had a wonderful night.”

She said, and turned to leave.
They hung it high when it was none of their business.
Pierce gave Mike a complicated look.
He hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself, and gently declined:
“Forget it, I have an urgent matter to attend to, I must take my leave.”
Mike chased with doubt to the door:
“Mr. Clement, you’re leaving already? Otherwise, we could go to the concert together!”
After listening, Pierce’s steps quickened…
Sophia had just gotten in the car and was about to start it when Pierce abruptly opened the passenger
door.
She paused for a moment.
Pierce was stunned as he looked at the stuff piled up on the co–pilot’s seat.
“Couldn’t you have tidied up a bit? How is anyone supposed to sit here?”
The passenger seat was filled with clothes and bags she had previously bought for Sandra, but hadn’t
had the chance to deliver yet.
Sophia gave a speechless, cold laugh:
“It wasn’t meant for people to sit on in the first place, yet the requirements were quite demanding.”
Did it matter a dime to him whether she cleaned up or not?
