A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 587

Upon entering the office, Hesper immediately realized that her initial perception of the situation was too

simplistic. The meeting room was packed with people, at least thirty or forty of them.

She couldn't help but wonder, 'What is he up to now?'

That said, Hesper calmly sat down amidst the gazes of everyone in the room and faced Rickard, who

was seated in the main seat. She forced a bitter smile and said, "It feels like I'm attending my own

execution."

"You're just being paranoid," Rickard replied nonchalantly. However, upon seeing Hesper's strained

smile, he couldn't help but smirk and add, "This just shows our sincerity to you, doesn't it?"

Benji coughed awkwardly, and Hesper bit her tongue before nodding. "Alright, let's get started. I want to

see if your sincerity goes beyond just words."

"I'm sure you won't be disappointed, Ms. Lane," Rickard said.

Although the employees in the room could sense the tension between the two and they wanted to see

drama between Rickard and Hesper, their professionalism as employees of a large corporation

demanded them to remain composed and focused on their own documents.

As Hesper glanced around, she realized that she didn't have any materials in front of her. Just as she

was about to speak up, the meeting room door opened once again, and someone rushed in with a

stack of documents.

"Here are the final ten sets of documents. Is there anyone who still needs them?"

As Hesper raised her hand to indicate that she did, Sophia looked over and saw her seated in a red

dress, smiling and waving at her with what seemed like a hint of mockery.

Sophia never expected to encounter Hesper during her lowest moment. She clenched her teeth so

hard that they were close to grinding down. Despite this, in front of so many people, especially Rickard,

she had to hold back her anger and approach Hesper to hand over the documents.

Hesper scolded Sophia. "Don't you have any manners?"

"Don't push it," Sophia replied.

Hesper was slightly surprised, "So this is how your company treats its guests. You claimed it was a

sincere gesture earlier, but now even a low-level employee can speak to me so disrespectfully."

Except for Rickard, Hesper, and Benji, no one else in the room knew Sophia's true identity. Upon

hearing Hesper's words, everyone looked at Sophia with some anger in their eyes.

Sophia couldn't understand how this had turned into her issue when it was clear that Hesper was

causing trouble for her. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She looked towards Rickard for help, but he stayed silent, gazing at Sophia as if he didn't recognize

her at all.

This was the first time Sophia felt incredibly helpless. Hesper continued to stare at her as if she would

begin the meeting only if Sophia apologized.

Softly, Sophia muttered, "I'm sorry." The room was completely silent. Although her voice was barely

audible, everyone heard her.

"Sorry about what?"

Sophia jerked her head up.
