Victor frowned. He changed his mind about following Jessica into the house and said, "David, drive."
Jessica, who saw this scene, was stunned. She quickly ran up and said, "Victor, you haven't eaten yet, how can you leave like this?"
Victor said, "My assistant is not feeling well, so I'll take her to the hospital first."
Assistant?
Jessica angrily looked at Sophia and realized that she looked perfectly fine, with no sign of discomfort!
Jessica thought she must have done it on purpose, but she still had to pretend not to be angry. Instead, she suppressed her anger, smiled, and walked up to Sophia, saying, "If you're not feeling well, you can rest in the guest room upstairs. Victor just arrived. You can't possibly make him run back and forth to the hospital just because of you, right? People who don't know will think you're the boss here."
While speaking, Jessica secretly squeezed Sophia's hand and threatened her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If you dare to leave now, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Sophia frowned. Before she had a chance to speak, Jessica preemptively said, "Victor, she agreed to rest upstairs. You just arrived, so finish your dinner before leaving."
After saying that, she had the Johnson Villa butler Tom lead Victor. At the same time, Jessica took the opportunity of taking Sophia to rest and dragged her away.
Jessica walked quickly, hurriedly going upstairs with an air of hostility, scaring the servants in the house to avoid her, afraid of being affected!
Once they were inside the room, she angrily closed the door.
"What are you doing in my house? Sophia, do you want to die?" Jessica yelled fiercely, her delicate face almost distorted with anger!
Sophia pulled her hand back, which was hurting from Jessica's tight grip, and said, "Victor asked me to come. Do you think I wanted to come here?"
"Victor asked you to come here? Who do you think you are? How could he be interested in you? You must have seduced Victor, making him bring you here! You deliberately wanted to embarrass me!" Jessica did not believe Sophia's words.
Sophia sneered, "Since you don't believe me, there's nothing more for me to say."
She shrugged and turned to leave. But Jessica quickly grabbed her hand, not letting her go.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Sophia said, "Since you don't want me in your house, then I'll just go back. I don't want to be here anyway."
"Victor just sat down and you pretended to be sick. He treats his subordinates so well, so if you leave now, he'll think you're unwell, so you can't leave." Jessica blocked the door and called two people to stand guard and not let Sophia leave.
Sophia looked coldly at the people at the door and said, "What, you want to lock me up?"
"Just stay here honestly." Jessica reminded the servant, "Watch over Sophia, she can't take one step outside this door until Victor leaves."
"Yes, ma'am," the servant nodded.
Jessica locked the door and then quickly walked downstairs.
Victor did not intend to stay long at Johnson Villa, he just went through the motions to save Jessica from embarrassment.
Taylor prepared a table full of food, but Victor didn't eat any. It wasn't until Jessica came down that he said, "I have something to do, I'll leave first."
Jessica was taken aback, she walked over with a smile and sat next to Victor. "You haven't eaten yet, finish your meal before leaving."
"I'm busy," Victor said calmly.
Jessica hung her head in disappointment and teary-eyed, "Do you hate me? I waited for you all day and you sat down for only one minute before leaving. I don't know how people outside will gossip about me."
As Jessica spoke, she brought food to Victor. To please him, she specifically researched his favorite dishes and worked tirelessly all day, but he didn't even look at them... Jessica lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, silently continuing to bring him food, looking pitiful.
Victor's expression was complicated. After a few moments of silence, he slowly picked up his fork. He didn't eat much, just casually took a few bites.
"This is delicious too, have some more," Jessica quickly wiped away her tears and said pleasingly, "Do you want some wine? I have your favorite red wine here, it's from 1988, specially imported from abroad. I'll go get it for you."
Then, she rushed to get the red wine and asked David to sit down and eat together.
However, David didn't dare!
Victor glanced at the time and said, "Go ahead and eat, you won't be able to go back for a while."
"Thank you, Mr. Hastings." David sat down, actually, he was hungry too.
Jessica really liked Victor, so she was very kind to David as well. She immediately set an extra place setting for him and asked the servant to bring an extra chair.
David thanked her repeatedly. After sitting down, he suddenly remembered Sophia upstairs and said, "Should we call Sophia down as well? She hasn't eaten today."
Jessica's face stiffened, and she smiled and said, "No need, I will have the servant bring the food up later. You don't have to worry."
Victor thought of Sophia who had just come out of the hospital. Although he didn't really like her, he was also afraid that something might happen to her. Therefore, he said to David, "Why don't you go upstairs and check on her?"
"No need. Sophia is fine. You don't have to go see her." Jessica felt that Victor cared too much about Sophia, and she was not happy about it, so she called out to David.
He glanced at Victor and saw a gloomy and cold expression on his face. Therefore, he nodded slightly towards Jessica. "Sorry, Ms. Jessica, I'll go upstairs to check on Sophia first, and I'll be right back."
David immediately got up and went upstairs.
Jessica clenched her hand tightly by her side, almost exploding with anger in her heart. However, she kept holding it in, biting her lip to suppress her anger. She restrained herself and said, "Victor, is that new assistant good? You seem to care a lot about her."
Victor glanced at her slowly and asked, "What are you trying to express?"
"I'm just curious, and I've never seen a female assistant by your side before. What does this Sophia have that makes you look at her differently? Is it because she's very capable? Don't get angry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know more about you. If you don't like it, I won't say anything."
She suddenly remembered that she had asked the two people to keep an eye on Sophia just now, and now they were still outside the door! Jessica was worried that David might notice something strange, so she quickly put down her fork. "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
After saying that, she was about to run upstairs, but she happened to meet David coming down from upstairs. Jessica quickly said, "How is that assistant? I was worried that Sophia might not feel well, so I specifically asked two people to keep an eye on her. I don't know if they took good care of her."
David said, "She's fine."
"That's good." Jessica saw that he seemed to have not noticed anything, so she smiled and said, "Let's quickly eat, the food is getting cold."
"Okay." The crisp voice answering her was a surprise to Jessica. She looked up and realized that Sophia had already come downstairs!
When did this bitch come down?
Didn't she warn Sophia not to come down?!
