Victor's undisguised mockery and disdain made Sophia feel uncomfortable. She clenched her hand by her side slightly. She had her temper too. She was also angry being humiliated like this. However, thinking that Liam was still staying at Victor's house, Sophia endured it!
She hadn't seen Liam for many days. Although Liam always said he was doing well in video calls, as a mother, how could she feel at ease with him living in a stranger's house!
So even though she was humiliated in front of Victor, Sophia held back and said, "Mr. Hastings, do you only have one bed at your house?"
"What's wrong? How many beds do you want?" Victor's deep and soothing voice was full of seduction, and it sounded sexy.
Sophia raised her face excitedly and said, "Do you have any extras? If not, I can sleep on the couch."
Victor felt like Sophia was trying to seduce him!
After a cold snort, he walked towards the car and glanced at the door indifferently.
Sophia, who realized what was happening, immediately rushed to open the car door and respectfully said, "Mr. Hastings, please get in."
She thought, 'Victor didn't directly refuse me, which means I have a chance!'
Throughout the journey, Sophia did not speak, driving carefully. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation. The more Victor looked at her, the more he felt she was smiling in a sleazy way. He felt like she was up to something, but he couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.
When Sam saw Victor's car, he quickly ran out to greet him, ready to help him park the car after he got out. However, he was surprised to find a female driver sitting in the driver's seat. Sam was shocked and thought, 'Mr. Hastings has only had male assistants all these years. I've never seen a girl sitting in Mr. Hastings' car!'
After taking a careful look, Sam thought, 'This girl looks very pretty! Mr. Victor finally did something right. Mrs. Hastings will definitely be especially happy when she sees this!'
"Mr. Hastings, who is this girl?" Sam's kind face was filled with a contented smile.
Victor coldly replied, "The driver."
Sam laughed and said, "You've never had a female driver before. Is Mrs. Hastings pressuring you too much recently? However, don't worry, Liam has been sick lately. Mrs. Hastings is busy taking care of Liam and doesn't have time to pressure you to get married."
Sophia, who had already parked the car, happened to hear Sam's words. She quickly walked up and asked, "Who is sick?"
She seemed a bit unusual and spoke quickly, as if she was in a hurry!
Victor suddenly glanced at Sophia and said coldly, "You should go back."
Sophia suddenly realized and said unwillingly, "It's already dark. Mr. Hastings, your house is so remote, it's not safe for me to go back alone."
Victor's expression instantly became unhappy!
Observing expert Sam could immediately see that their relationship was not ordinary and quickly said, "She's right. It's indeed unsafe to walk on the road at night. Mr. Hastings, why not let her stay?"
"Do I need you to teach me?" Victor dangerously narrowed his eyes. His cold voice could freeze people to death!
Sam was scared and dared not say anything, silently standing aside.
Victor walked into Hastings Villa and Sophia couldn't help but follow. She had just heard Sam say that Liam was sick. As a mother, Sophia's greatest fear was Liam getting hurt or falling ill. In the past, whenever Liam was sick, she would always be by his side. But now...
Sophia was very worried, so she walked quickly.
Victor saw the worry on her face, but he didn't say anything.
Upon Victor's return, four or five maids surrounded him, helping him take off his coat, change his shoes, and handing him a towel. They even cleaned the shoes that Victor was wearing on the spot.
This was the first time Sophia had seen such an exaggerated scene, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances at Victor and thought to herself, "The life of the wealthy is really good, to have so many maids serving him!"
Not only that, but these maids were all young and pretty. After helping Victor with his coat, one of them asked thoughtfully, "Mr. Hastings, dinner is ready. Would you like to have it now?"
"No," Victor replied disdainfully, throwing away the towel that the maid had handed to him.
Sophia following behind couldn't help but take a few glances at the towel and then at the maid who was squatting down to change Victor's shoes. She noticed that they were all wearing disposable gloves, and the towels and things that were directly touched by the maid were thrown away by Victor.
She thought, 'It seems like Victor doesn't just dislike me, but all women!'
With this thought in mind, Sophia suddenly felt that Jessica was quite powerful to be able to subdue a man like Victor.
"Where am I staying?"
Victor seemed unwilling to pay attention to Sophia. Seeing him enter the house and go straight upstairs, Sophia couldn't help but ask as she followed behind him.
Victor looked down on her and said coldly, "Come upstairs."
Sophia, who had changed her shoes, eagerly caught up. She followed Victor all the way to the end and entered a large bedroom. The bedroom was clean, with a cool color scheme that made the room feel very cold, just like Victor, who was indifferent all over.
Unable to see Liam as she had hoped, Sophia disappointingly thought of looking elsewhere. However, Victor closed the door and quickly locked it.
Sophia was confused by Victor's actions, blinked her eyes, and looked at Victor, who had pressed her against the door without her noticing, and couldn't help but swallow hard. "Is this the room prepared for me?"
"Yeah," Victor replied in a low voice. His seductive voice sounded so good.
Sophia pointed at him with her finger. "Then shouldn't you leave?"
"This is the room prepared for you, but it's also my bedroom," Victor calmly replied, tempting her with a smile. "Now, do you still want to borrow a bed from me?"
The warm breath sprayed onto Sophia's face, making her heart race and her cheeks blush. Her voice trembled with fear as she spoke, "No, Mr. Hastings, don't you have any other rooms in your house? I saw many guest rooms upstairs earlier."
"That's none of your concern," Victor replied, his hand with a thin callus touching Sophia's cheek, causing her some discomfort. Victor enjoyed seeing the look of displeasure on Sophia's face and her sweet, melodic hums. He chuckled softly and asked, "Are there unused towels and bathrobes in the bathroom? Do you want to take a bath first or undress?"
"I..." Sophia nervously sweated.
Victor paused for a moment and then grinned mischievously, "Or maybe you want to sleep first? Do you prefer the bed or the sofa? Or maybe you don't like either of them? Well, the balcony and the floor are also options for you to sleep on. But do you dare?"
He chuckled softly, his voice crisp and appealing, capable of making any girl fall in love with him just by listening to it.
His voice was like a spell, tempting Sophia. She was about to nod in agreement, but Victor's hand on her cheek exerted a strong invasion that prevented her from moving. She was scared...
