In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 207
At 2:00 p.m., Albert Sauer from Bright Empire arrived at Heracles Hotel with his secretary and entered the private room. However, the first thing that caught his eye was Sophie sitting across from the entrance, surprising him. "Ms. Luxford, why are you here?"He had obviously arranged to meet Cedric, but the hotel manager called earlier, admitting to a scheduling error. She also mentioned Cedric had agreed to move the appointment up by an hour. Thus, he promptly concluded his current meeting and rushed over.Sophie stood up and started the conversation with an apology. "Mr. Sauer, I apologize for meeting you in this manner. Please forgive me if this is inappropriate in your book."Her apologetic tone left no room for Albert to express his dissatisfaction. They were both seasoned entrepreneurs and as cunning as foxes in business negotiations. This wasn't just inappropriate—it was outright deception."I know that you're here today to discuss collaboration with X Corp., but I believe

"Alright, since Ms. Luxford is interested, let's discuss it together." Cedric said with a smirk as he glanced at Sophie. He then pulled out his chair and sat down.At this point, Sophie naturally couldn't retreat either, thus she pushed the proposal forward with a smile.Cedric extended his hand, but instead of accepting the proposal, he grasped hers. "Since everyone has arrived early, we have plenty of time, there's no need to rush.""That's true," Sophie replied as she let go of the copy and withdrew her hand, a gesture of clear aversion that instantly made the atmosphere awkward.Seeing this, Albert had no choice but to step in to ease the tension. "Mr. Carlson, Ms. Luxford, how about we order some wine and dishes first?""Okay, I just so happened to be too busy earlier to have lunch." This was what Cedric was waiting for. He lifted his gaze and glanced at Evander beside him. "Go ahead and order us some food.""Yes, Mr. Carlson," Evander replied.He exited the private room. U

On the wedding day, he had elegantly completed the ceremony with her but hadn't touched any of the food. Despite having no appetite, she had insisted on eating everything."Does the food not suit your palate?" A mellow, pleasant voice sounded from behind, dragging Sophie back to reality.She opened her eyes instantly but did not turn around. Instead, she glared in the mirror at Cedric, who had entered the restroom at some point, and her voice turned cold. "Cedric, is X Corp. so idle that you're able to act this lamely?!""Yes, I've been very bored these past five years," Cedric replied.He wasn't just bored but also afraid—afraid that she might never return and that he wouldn't have the chance to rectify his mistakes.It had taken him five years to realize that the woman he thought he disliked had already nestled deep in his heart. All the absurd things he had done in the past were just attempts to prove her love and hide the fact that he had fallen for her!Not wanting to lose h

The two left and returned one after another, inevitably sparking speculations about whether they had been together just now.Linda looked at Sophie with some concern. However, she saw that she had already picked up her glass of red wine with a smile, clearly having regained her composure.At that moment, Sophie asked, "Mr. Sauer, we've almost finished eating. How do you feel about Paramount Inc.'s proposal?""Well..." Albert glanced at Cedric in embarrassment, then sighed. "Mr. Carlson, Ms. Luxford, to be honest, both of your proposals are fabulous. Especially yours, Ms. Luxford. It's just too good for me to refuse."So... Mr. Carlson, I'm sorry.""It's okay. If we can't collaborate this time around, there's always next time." Cedric's tone sounded as if he had lost a dime instead of an entire project.'It seems that I've guessed correctly.' Albert breathed a sigh of relief and then could not help but speculate, 'Mr. Carlson, whether it was when he was in charge of Carlson Group

'Apart from that, our highly-tempting proposal isn't the only factor contributing to our success in securing the project. Cedric's deliberate concession contributed, too,' Sophie thought as she knew what Cedric had done."Hey, what are you thinking about? Did anything else happen that day?" Jeanna asked."What do you want to happen? By the way, what do you think about Sean?" With her thoughts interrupted, Sophie calmly shifted the topic onto Jeanna and Sean.Jeanna quickly put down the coffee in her hand. "Oh, Soph, baby, you just reminded me that I haven't bought Cherry's gift. I’ll go first.”Seeing her opting for a quick escape, Sophie shook her head helplessly. "Linda, do you think fate enjoys playing tricks on us humans?"As her best friend, she hoped that Jeanna could find someone who would love and cherish her for the rest of her life. But now it seemed that fate had already decided, and her wishful thinking would not change anything."Over these past five years, Mr. Chesh

The financial channel on TV was reporting on how Paramount Inc. had taken the project from X Corp.Tristan tilted his little head and asked Vivienne with a puzzled expression, "Mommy, isn't Daddy the strongest? How did someone else snatch the project away from him?”"Tristan, your father is certainly the strongest there is." Vivienne turned off the TV, her gentle smile showing signs of strain. Losing the project this time was not because Cedric was not good enough, but because he had deliberately let Sophie win.Upon seeing her uneasy expression, Tristan's eyes glinted with a flash of fear, and he quickly looked down at his feet. "Mommy, I'll go upstairs to finish my homework.""Go ahead... Oh, wait!" Vivienne stopped Tristan when he was about to go upstairs.His shoulders instantly tensed up, and he could not even look directly at her. "Mommy, is there anything else?""Have you seen the girl from the charity gala at school?" Vivienne asked."No, I haven't." Tristan shook his he

The door to the bedroom upstairs was closed, but a small gap was left open, and Tristan pressed his ear against the tight gap. Although he did not hear the entire conversation clearly, he could still hear about sixty or seventy percent of it."What should I do? Is Mommy going to hurt Cherry?" Upon recalling the events from five years ago, Tristan's face turned pale. Before that incident, he had regarded his mother as the epitome of gentleness. However, following that event, he found himself unable to sleep at night, growing increasingly fearful of her as he grew older.Footsteps sounded from the staircase, and Tristan quickly sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and doodled on his workbook.Vivienne glanced in through the gap, seeing him doing homework before reassuringly returning to her room.After maintaining the posture for over ten minutes, Tristan quietly got up and closed the door.'What should I do? I can't even protect myself, how can I protect Cherry?'The young boy's

Cherry flung her limbs perfectly, but her round eyes darted left and right incessantly. In the past few days, she could not shake the feeling that someone was secretly watching her, and it did not feel friendly."What are you looking at?" Reyna, who was beside her, asked curiously, glancing around.However, other than their schoolmates and the PE teachers supervising them, she did not see anything out of the ordinary."I'm thinking of a riddle for you," Cherry replied.As soon as Reyna heard there was a riddle, her eyes lit up behind her glasses. When the midday exercises ended, she immediately wrapped her arms around Cherry's. "Quick, tell me, what's today's riddle?""What's the rush? We'll talk about it when we get back to the classroom." Cherry smiled and glanced around.'Whoever infiltrated the school likely isn't part of a large group. If it's a lone perpetrator, they won't risk acting in front of witnesses unless they are reckless. So, as long as there's always someone arou
