Chapter 521
Cedric coughed lightly, his expression not one of embarrassment but of frustration. 'I am not at the point where I need that for my health. Does Grandpa really have so little faith in me?'Throughout breakfast, Sophie barely spoke, her face flushed with embarrassment. She felt relieved to escape Jeff's suggestive looks, but the enclosed space of the car made her heart race with anxiety.'Sophie, it’s just sleeping together. It's not like it’s the first time!' she silently berated herself, turning to look out the window in an attempt to calm down.Cedric smiled faintly, giving her time to compose herself."Good morning, Ms. Luxford." The elevator doors opened, and Linda approached as usual. Her immaculate makeup showed no signs of her overindulgence the previous night.Seeing Sophie staring at her, Linda asked, puzzled, "Ms. Luxford, is there something wrong?""No, I just think it must be exhausting for you always to be so perfectly put together every day."If she had not seen Li

"This is from Mr. Carlson," said Evander as he placed the item on the table.Sophie looked at the item, her face full of surprise. "Coke?""Yes." Evander nodded, feeling equally baffled. On his way over, he kept wondering if he was becoming a worse assistant or if Cedric's intentions were just getting harder to decipher. Practicing claw machine skills behind closed blinds was one thing, but delivering Coke instead of jewelry or clothes? That was a new one.While still pondering, Evander's confused gaze met Linda’s, and his cheeks flushed. Quickly turning back to Sophie, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back."Watching him leave in a hurry, Linda suppressed the chaos in her heart from their brief eye contact. "Ms. Luxford, what do you think Mr. Carlson means by sending you Coke?""How would I know?" Sophie replied casually, examining the Coke bottle.After scrutinizing it for a while without finding anything unusual, she turned to the glass window opposite her office

The deliberately prolonged tone made Linda, usually adept at managing her expressions, blush with a hint of suspicion. "Someone has a crush on me? Could it be him?"As the thought crossed her mind, her face turned even redder. She quickly found an excuse to leave the office. "Ms. Luxford, I have some unfinished business to attend to. I'll head back to my office."It was rare to see Linda so flustered.Sophie couldn't help but laugh. This month seemed to be filled with good news. Jeanna was getting married, Linda had a secret admirer, and her relationship with Cedric was progressing.Thinking of Cedric, she glanced out the window and found him still in the same position, his piercing eyes quietly observing her. She couldn't help but smile.She took out her phone and dialed a familiar number. On the third ring, his deep, sexy voice came through. "Why haven't you drunk the Coke I sent you?""I'm worried it might have some strange flavor, like vinegar or something weird."On the oth

The weather shifted from sweltering heat to a cooler breeze, but the top floor of Luxford Group building was heating up. Besides the daily delivery of roses, Sophie's desk was piling up with various exquisite gifts."Looks like I missed a lot of drama while I was on my second honeymoon. The air here is thick with the sourness of love. It's overwhelming," Jeanna remarked as she returned to work, immediately sensing the different atmosphere.She had been worried about Sophie being bullied by Cedric, but it seemed the two were getting along just as her husband Sean had predicted."You missed the Coke incident," Linda said, covering her mouth as she laughed.She only understood the significance of the Coke bottle after seeing it on Sophie's desk. Who would have thought Cedric would come up with such a quirky gesture?"And the blue rose incident," Sophie added, not willing to be outdone, making Linda blush instantly.Jeanna was confused, clutching Sophie's arm with a gossip-hungry exp

"Fenix?" Sophie raised an eyebrow. Fenix was always focused on work, constantly traveling around the world. Today he would be in Illyria, tomorrow in Gallia. Pushing him into this would be quite difficult.-At Cheshire Group:"Mr. Cheshire, here is your itinerary for today," the secretary said, handing Fenix the schedule with a cautious demeanor.People often claimed that being a CEO's secretary was a promising job, but after three years at Cheshire Group, she knew it was exhausting. She was on call 24/7, even squeezing bathroom breaks into five minutes.Fenix Cheshire was a renowned workaholic, with every minute of his day meticulously planned.As Fenix reviewed the printed schedule, his brows gradually knit together. "There's a half-hour gap between the two afternoon meetings?""Yes, because some travel time is needed between the two locations," the secretary quickly explained.Fenix looked up, his brows furrowed. "Then why weren't the meetings scheduled in the same location

Thinking this way, Linda retracted her gaze and walked towards her car. She had barely taken a step when the car horn sounded again.She paused, frowning at the car before reluctantly walking over. No one got out, so she politely knocked on the tinted window. "Hello, were you calling me?"The window, covered with a deep tint, finally rolled down slowly. Fenix looked at her professional smile with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.Recognizing Fenix, Linda showed a hint of surprise but quickly masked it. "Mr. Cheshire, what are you doing here? Are you looking for Ms. Luxford?"Fenix, the heir of the Cheshire family, was someone she knew well, especially as the chief secretary of Luxford Group. Considering the limited business between Cheshire Group and Luxford Group, his presence was puzzling."I'm not here to see Sophie. I'm here for you.""Me?""Yes, you. If you have a moment, could we talk in the car? I won't take much of your time. Fenix spoke with an air of certainty, open

"You think I'm here to poach you?""Isn't that it?" Linda's face showed suspicion. 'If he wasn't here to offer me a job, would he really drive all the way to Luxford Group just to compliment my work skills?'"Of course not. I'm here to ask you something." Fenix's smile lasted less than a second before his expression turned icy again. His cold tone followed, "As far as I know, you're still single. So, I'd like to ask if you would marry me."Ten years of working as a secretary at Luxford Group had given Linda a strong heart. She could handle any tough problem calmly. But this time, she was genuinely shocked. She must have misheard."You marry me, and you can continue working at Luxford Group."Fenix's voice cut through her thoughts again. Linda bit her lip, the slight pain reminding her that she had not misheard. Fenix had indeed said such an unbelievable thing."I'm sorry, Mr. Cheshire, but we don't know each other very well."She knew Fenix because of her job, but even in a prof

Linda didn’t know how she managed to get out of Fenix’s car. It wasn’t until her phone rang that she snapped back to reality. Seeing the caller ID, she hurriedly answered and heard the anxious voice of Modern Aer's secretary on the other end."Linda, it’s already past 3:30. Why aren’t you here yet?""Sorry, I’m stuck in traffic. I’ll be there soon," she lied, quickly hanging up and driving toward Modern Aer.-Sophie was reviewing the financial reports sent by the finance department, her furrowed brows clearly showing her dissatisfaction with some of the figures."Linda, please ask Ms. Yara from finance to come up." After a few seconds of silence, she looked up, puzzled, only to see Linda lost in thought. "Linda?""Huh?" Upon hearing her name, Linda’s eyes finally focused, and a flash of embarrassment crossed her face. "Sorry, I was distracted.""What’s on your mind? You’ve been out of it for the past two days. Did something happen?"Sophie wasn't reprimanding her—she was genui

"Of course you didn't know. That's why I'm telling you!" Jeanna continued excitedly, oblivious to Linda's discomfort.Meanwhile, Sophie's eyebrows furrowed in concern. 'Linda has been acting strange these past few days, and her reaction to Fenix's name is particularly telling. Could it be…'"Ms. Luxford, Ms. Yara is here," Linda announced, trying to regain her composure.Her heart, however, was still racing. 'Is Fenix serious about what he said? But we barely know each other. How could he even think of such a thing?'"You handle the work first. I'll come back later," Jeanna said, noticing Ms. Yara’s arrival. She stuck her tongue out playfully at Sophie and headed back to the design department.Sophie had intended to delve into the reasons behind the cost increases. However, distracted by the ongoing situation, she merely asked a few crucial questions and then dismissed Ms. Yara.Seeing that Sophie’s concerns remained unresolved, Linda suggested, "Ms. Luxford, if there are issues

Sophie's suspicion was right. Fenix was not one to easily abandon his target. After Linda ignored countless calls, he took the initiative to find her."Mr. Cheshire, Linda really isn't in the office right now," the secretary tried to block him, but it was futile against a determined man, especially one exuding an intimidating chill."Then I’ll find Sophie.""But Ms. Luxford, she—" Before the secretary could finish, Fenix's long legs had already taken him to Sophie's office door.He knocked twice before pushing it open. The secretary looked like she was about to cry. "Ms. Luxford, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop Mr. Cheshire.""It’s fine. Go make Mr. Cheshire a cup of coffee," Sophie said.Seeing Fenix barge in, she raised an eyebrow, smiled, and glanced at Linda, who was hiding in her office. "Have a seat and let's talk.""No need. I have to catch a flight soon." Fenix cut straight to the point, his determined eyes fixed on Linda as he said firmly, "I need an answer from you.""Mr.
