hapter 187 182: Inseparable Intimacy
Lydia’s words instantly silenced the atmosphere.
Pierce’s face was calm, showing no expression.
He merely glanced at Sophia subconsciously, then nonchalantly turned his head and said:
“The Stapleton family had already arranged for someone to take care of things and wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.”
Lydia sighed, seemingly speaking offhandedly:
“Just got robbed as soon as I arrived in Mautiland, such bad luck. Seems like it’s safer back home!”
Sophia slightly raised her eyebrows.
It turned out that Annie hadn’t spoken about the events of that
day.
Why?
Feeling guilty?

Sophia cast her eyes down with a faint smile, her demeanor cool yet delicate. She maintained a certain distance and politeness towards their topic of conversation.
Finally, Lydia had eventually steered the conversation towards the main issue:
“Ms. Cruise, your switch from Eagle Entertainment to the Cruise Group was indeed unexpected. However, the strength of the Cruise Group is undeniable, so I don’t think I have any objections.”
Sophia nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Pierce.
Her eyes sparkled brilliantly, soft and captivating.
“Mr. Clement, how about you?”
Pierce had always been silent.
At that moment.
His hand, resting on the table, gently curled up, tapping the tabletop twice. After a moment of contemplation, he began to speak in a low voice:
“I felt there was no need for this, the Clement Group could totally proceed independently with this project.”

I had reviewed the previous contract as well, Ms. Ayesa initially chose Ms. Cruise to participate, but in terms of strength, there was no comparability with the Clement Group.
Not to mention that changing partners had no benefits for us, I think we should just forget it.
“How about this, if Ms. Cruise wants to practice, I have other projects here that could be exchanged, what do you think?”
This was already the best outcome after Pierce had considered it.
Neither offended her, nor swallowed this project.
As for Lydia, she could be gradually phased out later.
When Pierce saw the contract, he could hardly believe that his pre–amnesiac self had actually signed it.
This project was undoubtedly a fat piece of meat.
Pierce, with his resolute and vigorous style, never shared with others.
He was somewhat confused, not understanding why Pierce, before his amnesia, would compromise to this extent.

But no matter what, he would not compromise.
Sophia looked at him meaningfully, her smile still in place.

But in his heart, he had already cursed Pierce’s ancestors for eight generations.
She knew, this Pierce was no good.
Give her some trivial little projects to pass the time?
So this project was just a carrot dangled in front of her nose, treating her like a blind donkey?
Sophia smiled faintly, her voice soft:
“I understood Mr. Clement’s meaning, isn’t it that he didn’t want to hang out with me?”
“Mr. Clement had amnesia, he probably didn’t remember that this project was a joint decision between Ms. Ayesa and me. Mr. Clement, you were the outsider.”
Sophia and Lydia exchanged a smile.
Pierce stiffened slightly, not knowing where to look with his embarrassed gaze.

He raised his eyebrows, hooking his lips in indifference.
“It wasn’t about who came first or last, was it?”
Sophia’s eyes twinkled slightly as she leaned back against the chair, assuming a negotiating posture:
“Then I’ll just say it straight, if Mr. Clement doesn’t agree, then I won’t give up on signing the book. After all, it’s written in black and white in the contract. Even if it continues under the name of Eagle Entertainment, I won’t be at a loss.”
Even if Sophia couldn’t resell it, she wouldn’t possibly give up on this project for nothing.
Pierce’s eyes darkened in an instant.
She hit the nail on the head with her words.
Lydia was gently smiling as she watched the two of them.
I developed a bit more fondness for Sophia in my heart.
The atmosphere among the three people was somewhat tense.

In the end, Pierce didn’t bite the bullet, he still left some leeway.
After all, he and Sophia currently had a vague, different kind of relationship, it was better not to fall out.
Lydia received a call, saying that someone was waiting for her downstairs.
She said a word to Sophia and Pierce and then left first.
Sophia and Pierce faced each other in silence.
Pierce recalled the incident of waiting in vain last night, a sour taste rising in his mouth:
“Why didn’t you contact me directly last night?”
Sophia squinted her eyes, laughed, her voice soft and light:
“Because it was official business.”
She paused, suddenly looking up:
“Did you want me to contact you?”

Pierce’s lips were tightly pressed together, his dark eyes deep as water. A button on his shirt was undone, revealing the sharp lines of his Adam’s apple, which moved slightly as he spoke.
“Did you break up with that pretty boy?”
Sophia understood in an instant, giving a knowing smile as she gently touched the back of his hand:
“Of course.”
Interesting, he seemed to have high expectations for this relationship!
She brought over the gift box he had set aside, took out the bracelet inside, and put it on his left hand.
The reddish–brown beads made his skin appear whiter, his forearms more defined, exuding a sense of melancholy that seemed to transcend time.
She didn’t know the material of the bead, it wasn’t any kind of wood, it seemed like agate or something similar.
Sophia nodded in satisfaction:
“It suited you very well,”

Pierce didn’t show any preference, but he didn’t take it off either.
Just as Sophia was about to stand up and sit back down, her hand was grabbed by someone.
She instinctively struggled to break free, but Pierce gripped her even tighter.
His eyes were dark and deep, shrouded in an impenetrable fog, and his voice was unexpectedly pleasant.
“Thank you, shall I give you a gift as well?”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, since when had this person become so sensible?
He stood up and directly pulled her away from here.
This meal ended before I could even taste what it was like.
The wind outside was somewhat chilly.
Pierce had gripped her hand and never let go.
Got into the black Bentley.

The driver ahead completely acted as if he was invisible.
Sophia desperately wanted to break free, but she told herself to endure, she must endure!
The wind had chafed her face to the point where her smile was frozen, and as soon as she entered the car and felt the warmth, she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
Pierce somehow produced a very exquisite, familiar–looking box from somewhere.
Upon opening it, it was indeed the “Tears of the Ocean” that was photographed on the cruise ship.
Sophia’s smile slowly faded, she didn’t reach out to take it.
The memory this thing gave her wasn’t very good.
Pierce watched her complexion change, his originally hopeful mood also somewhat depressed.
He noticed that she didn’t like it anymore.
Don’t all women like jewelry?
This thing had been in the car for a long time, he thought it was very suitable for her.

Just as he was hesitating whether to put it away or not, Sophia reached out and took the thing.
“Thank you.”
This perfunctory and evasive statement irritated Pierce.
Paused for a moment.
Sophia really couldn’t stand it anymore, so she opened her mouth with a hypocritically gentle smile:
“Time stopped moving, so I went back first.”
The person hadn’t even gotten out of the car when they were pulled back.
Pierce’s face was somewhat gloomy:
“Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”
He always felt that, although the two had reached a tacit understanding, there was something missing between them.
An intimate relationship.

Sophia looked back at him, “If you’re willing to talk to me about the project, then you can take me back.”
Her pride and aloofness were such that even being given something by her made one feel as if they were blessed for three lifetimes.
Pierce’s eyes were deep and his fingertips moved slightly.
“Good.”
