Chapter 186 181: Good Riddance
Sophia smiled charmingly, seemingly fearless.
Since he misunderstood that he was married to Derick, there was no need to explain.
Letting a mistake be a mistake, it was also a good thing.
Pierce’s face darkened.
Extremely ugly.
Her words made him feel as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his heart, causing him to feel suffocated.
Could he, Pierce, have been content to be reduced to a lover?
It would be utterly ridiculous if it got out!
“What if I said, you must get a divorce?”
Sophia’s face turned slightly cold, she then walked over and sat down on the sofa, letting out a light and indifferent laugh.

“Take care, no need to see you out.”
Her attitude infuriated Pierce.
Did she really like Derick that much?
No, she liked being Mrs. Woodward!
He suppressed the tumultuous emotions within him, took a deep breath, resisted the urge to storm out, and stood there:
“You could stay, but while you were with me, there couldn’t be anyone else.”
Like the intense flames churning at the bottom of an iceberg, he forcefully suppressed it.
The surface remained indifferent, cold, and without any difference.
Sophia watched his proud and stubborn figure, laughed a little, her eyes filled with a soft glow, and corrected him:
“It was you with me.”
“Follow” was a subtle word.

But now, the relationship between the two had completely changed.
From the moment Pierce voluntarily stepped into Sophia’s office, Sophia had already been dominating over him.
Pierce gave her a deep, penetrating stare.
Sophia’s eyebrows and eyes were charming, soft as water. Her eyes were filled with water, easily taking the lead.
Pierce’s heart trembled, he didn’t understand how he could have agreed to such an absurd and unreasonable request?
How could he have stood here and said these things to her?
But the moment he saw her, he felt himself being pulled back to reality.
The iceberg collided with the volcano, and he was the fragments that burned and melted in the collision.
Willingly.
Pierce left.
Aylen looked at his face, unable to discern any signs.

He hurried to the office, where Sophia was enthusiastically opening the box, admiring her spoils of war.
The fact that she still had the mood to look at bags indicated that Pierce hadn’t affected much.
Sophia heard a noise and turned to look at him:
“Where’s Lucky? I bought some clothes for him, let him try them on!”
Aylen quickly brought Lucky inside.
Lucky took a turn, didn’t see Pierce, and happily ran to Sophia, wagging his tail.
“I knew you didn’t like him either, that was my good luck!”
Sophia stroked its fur, feeling that her efforts had not been in vain!
She had him try on a few vests, and Lucky expressed his satisfaction.
Sophia suddenly remembered something, looking up at Aylen:
“Went to invite Pierce and Lydia to have a meal together.”

Aylen was taken aback, “Mr. Clement agreed?”
Sophia laughed, “No, but a meal should be fine.”
Pierce dared to whet her appetite with this matter, without giving her any sweeteners, how could she believe him?
So he would definitely come, he would show her hope.
She remembered his number was still on her blacklist.
She calmly removed him from the blacklist and sent a new friend request.
Pierce haughtily waited until the evening before agreeing to her friend request.
Sophia was laughed out of anger
Pierce rarely let everyone off work early.
He thought Sophia would invite him to dinner, or some other activity.
After all, it was their first day together.
Although it was somewhat disgraceful in terms of status.

But it was understood, an unspoken agreement.
But even as the sky darkened, the message box on the phone remained empty.
She didn’t even send a message.
Pierce’s face was getting worse and worse.
Worked overtime until midnight.
He was just about to leave the company, watching Kasen packing up and still on the phone:
“Yes, we, Mr. Clement, didn’t have time, didn’t have time in the evening, and won’t have time tomorrow either, sorry…”
A thought crossed Pierce’s mind, he walked over, concealing his weariness and fatigue.
“Who?”
Kasen hung up the phone, paused for a moment, feeling quite helpless:
“It was Aylen, the assistant of Ms. Cruise from the Cruise Group, who wanted to invite you and Lydia for dinner. Didn’t you
10:23
Chapter 18% 151. Good Riddance
instruct before that you wouldn’t discuss this project unless it was in a private social setting?”
Pierce’s eyes darkened, staring at him with an intimidating chill.
“Sophia’s person?”
“Is… Yes, it is!”
The person was from Ms. Cruise, but what she wanted to discuss was the project, not personal matters.
Mr. Clement had always been clear about the separation between public and private matters.
So he politely declined then!
Kasen believed that what he had done should be correct.
Pierce had never felt as angry as he did at that moment.
He had waited for a date all night, only to find out he was stood up by his own assistant?
He glared at Kasen, his eyes dark and indifferent, gritting his teeth.

Chapter 186 181: Good Riddance
The moment Kasen made eye contact with Pierce, several methods of death flashed through his mind.
Did Mr. Clement lower the bottom line for Ms. Cruise again?
There was absolutely no difference before and after the amnesia!

Kasen awkwardly lowered his head, wondering if it was too late to contact Aylen now?
On the way back.
Pierce naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to tell Sophia that he had waited for her all night. It was Kasen who arbitrarily cancelled the date.
He was still holding onto his pride, not wanting to become like Owen, a sycophant who lived off women’s money.
The next day.
Kasen took the initiative to contact Aylen, apologized and made amends, and also set a place to have a meal.
They had booked a very romantic couples‘ restaurant.
When Lydia arrived, she looked around with some doubt,
10:23
Chapter 186 181: Good Riddance
wondering if she had gone to the wrong place.
Pierce hadn’t expected that Sophia had also invited Lydia.
Moreover, Sophia herself was late.

So, in this restaurant, Pierce and Lydia, who arrived first, sat facing each other, looking at each other.
Lydia could still put on an elder’s airs, coughing once:
“Did you plan to give up your plan?”
The smile on Pierce’s face didn’t reach his eyes.
“No.”
Lydia felt a slight heaviness in her heart, but her face remained expressionless:
“So, were you planning to deceive her?”
Pierce looked at her, his eyes deep, but devoid of any discernible emotion.
“Aunt, it was her who invited us.”

Lydia was silent.
Sophia came.
Her smile was radiant, her delicate and exquisite features were like carefully crafted works of art
“Sorry, there was traffic on the road, I was late.”
Lydia stood up with a laugh and embraced her:
“We arrived early, Ms. Cruise.”
Sophia handed over the prepared gift:
“Ms. Ayesa, don’t be shy. This is from a design company owned by a friend of mine. It’s their latest product, not yet on the market. If you like it, keep it and wear it.”
It was just an agate bracelet, its value lay in its unique design.
Lydia glanced at the brand name and nodded with a smile.
“I really liked the design of this brand, thank you.”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, then handed another gift box to Pierce.

Chapter 186 181: Good Riddance
“Mr. Clement, this is yours, I specifically chose it for you.”
She looked at him with a radiant smile, her eyes moist as if filled with water, soft and affectionate.
Pierce’s dark eyes reflected her face, his heart slightly trembling.
He took it, inside the box was a string of reddish–brown beads.
There was no sense of design, nor anything special.
Sophia remained unfazed, this was just a free gift with the purchase of the agate bracelet.
But she gave off the feeling of a world–class unique piece.
After all, the box.packaging was very expensive.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Thanks.”
His mood suddenly brightened up.
Suddenly, Lydia across the table spoke:
“Mr. Clement, was your fiancee Annie coming back?”
