Elsewhere…
“A press interview too?” Sophia was somewhat surprised when she received the call from her agent.
Wasn’t walking the red carpet supposed to be enough?
Who knew what kind of peculiar questions those reporters might
ask?
But her agent informed her that this was a rare opportunity for exposure-especially considering the event was a red carpet fashion show hosted at the illustrious Slandon Harbor in the capital city.
Sophia could only agree.
There were only two days left, she needed to get in shape to avoid looking fat on camera.
Lucas arrived home from work only to find an eerily quiet house, with only the ambient sounds of a yoga practice playing in the background.
He ventured further into the living room, “Sophia?”
The yoga-practicing Sophia didn’t turn her head, “You’re back?”
Lucas, with fatigue written all over his face, “Didn’t you prepare
dinner?”
Hearing this, Sophia turned around in shock, “You want me to cook? For you?”
Caught off guard, Lucas quickly rebutted, “No, it was just a question. If there’s no food, let’s order takeout”
He disliked having strangers in his house, so he never hired a maid.
“I can’t eat takeout Sophia approached him. “The cleanliness of takeout food is uncertain. Why don’t you cook instead?”
Lucas was momentarily stunned, “Me?”
“I’ve had a long day, I can’t cook right now. Let’s just order takeout. it’s only one meal, it’s not a big deal. Lucas tried to coax her.
Sophia considered his suggestion, “Alright then. Remember to order a fruit salad for me.”
“Okay.”
Afterwards, Sophia returned to her yoga practice to maintain her figure.
When Lucas went to take a shower, he noticed a pile of dirty laundry accumulating in the hamper, untouched.
Furthermore, the milk cup Sophia had drunk from during the day, the bowl she had eaten from, all remained on the coffee table, untouched
and unwashed.
After Lucas finished his shower, the doorbell rang.
Sophia, standing near the entrance, urged him, “Hurry up and get the
takeout.”
“You’re closer, why don’t you get it?” Lucas retorted as he descended
the stairs.
S
ossed her arms and pouted, “I’m a public figure and I have pet event in two days. How can I be seen by common people?
After signing for the takeout, Lucas placed it on the dining table.
He fetched some cutlery from the kitchen and returned to find

“Me?” Madison was in disbelief as she looked at the exquisite dress. that William had brought her.
Only a minute ago, William had informed her that she was to accompany President Grant to a red carpet event in two days, acting eas his female companion, alongside Ethan.
When Ethan finished his work and returned, he found a woman lost
in thought, leaning against the wall by the stairs.
Madison turned around, her voice dry, “Why do you want me to be your companion?”
“I don’t have any other women around.” Ethan responded hononchalantly.
D’Do you really need a companion? Can’t you go alone?” Madison fofollowed him, “Isn’t it okay to be alone?”
E Ethan turned around abruptly, “Sure I can. But since I want to groom yoyou to be the second female captain of Mukino Airlines, you need to mmake a public appearance. I was planning to have you start your

Watching her words not matching her feelings, Ethan couldn’t help but laugh, yet maintained his stern demeanor as her boss, “You’ve had a long day, shouldn’t you be going to bed?”
“I’m going now!”
Madison quickly closed her bedroom door.
After taking a shower and slipping into the soft bed, Madison felt extremely comfortable.
All emotional stress seemed to recede at that moment, and she genuinely felt relaxed.

did she feel exhausted from doing too much.
She was only 25, her prime years.
“Ding-dong–”
Madison opened F******k.
She was stunned to see a friend nicknamed ‘President Grant’.
When did they become friends on F******k?

ays, if she successfully completed the refresher training, she join the aviation company and participate in flight missions.
At the same time, she could finalize her divorce from Lucas.
The timing was just right.
