Chapter 153 The manager looked up in surprise, ‘Ms. Sophie, you’re the CEO. Isn’t it a bit too flattering for you to meet with an employee personally?” Usually, just the mention of a breach-of-contract fee would make Reece comply without argument. But this time, something was off. Reece wasn’t even listening to his boss and had the nerve to speak so defiantly. Sophie grabbed her bag and left the office. She drove to Reece’s address according to the information she had. Reece’s neighborhood seemed modest. Her luxury car stood out as it pulled into the cramped, aging apartment complex, drawing curious looks from some bystanders. The manager, keen to please, hurried to open the car door for her, saying ingratiatingly, “Ms. Sophie, let me walk you up.” “ill go up myself.” The building was old and housed mostly elderly residents. It lacked on elevator, forcing Sophie to climb the stairs. She reached the third floor and knocked on a rusting door.
Soon, the door swung open. A man in casual home wear appeared before Sophie. He was tall, with green eyes that carried a hint of clarity. Standing nearly six feet four inches tall, he towered over Sophie by at least a foot, his striking good looks making him stand out. The man seemed taken aback by Sophie’s appearance, but quickly regained his composure, his voice deep as he asked, “Who is it?” “Reece, who’s there?” From inside, an elderly voice called out. “Grandma.” Reece was about to respond when Sophie stepped forward, smiling, “Hello, Grandma, I’m Sophie.” Upon hearing the name Sophie, Reece furrowed his brow The old lady, hunched and squinting, peered at Sophie, asking, “Sophie, dear, are you Reece’s girlfriend? Come in, come in.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Glanna warmly pulled Sophie inside. Sophie’s smile froze on her face. She had planned to get on Glanna’s good side, but she hadn’t intended to be introduced as the girlfriend right away. “Grandma, she’s not…” Reece’s attempt to clarify was cut off by Gianna, “Reece, what are you waiting for? Go make some tea for Sophie.” Gianna’s joy was palpable as she ushered Sophie onto the sofa. Reece reluctantly went to make tea. Sophie’s gaze stayed on Reece. She remembered from his past life, after he became famous and Glanna passed away, Reece had tearfully spoken on a TV show about the humble life he could only provide for his grandmother before his fame. All of this stemmed from the partial sidelining by Russell Entertainment during Reece’s early career. Reece served tea to Sophie, though his expression was hardly welcoming. “Sophie, have you eaten? I will make something delicious for you. I’m making apple pies today” Gianna cheerfully announced as she headed to the kitchen. Reece looked coldly at Sophie, “What do you want?” “What if I said I’m here to support you with more resources? Would you believe me?” Reece frowned, clearly skeptical of Sophie’s intentions. “The company being this kind-hearted?” Reece’s voice grew colder, “Ms. Sophie, you see the state of my family. I don’t have time to waste with you.” “I’m serious about making you a star.”
