Chapter 147 Call Me Honey
Jefferson remained silent, with an indifferent expression on his face as he held the cigarette to his lips.
Sophia had no idea what to say and dared not speak.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
On the other hand, Alicia seemed indifferent, showing no concern for Mia or her death. There was even a hint of annoyance in her expression. In silence, Elianna had been secretly observing Jefferson's reaction, hoping to gauge his attitude towards Mia.
But Jefferson showed no reaction, just smoking his cigarette, leaving her unable to figure out what he was thinking
He extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and stood up. "Let's end it here for today.”
When he got up, Sophia and Alicia followed suit.
Especially Alicia, who reached out to pull him, but after being glanced at, gave up in annoyance.
Unwilling, she said, "I've been in Oakpool for so lang and haven't had a chance to enjoy the night scenery. Can't you accompany me?" Jefferson picked up the car keys from the table and raised his chin at Sophia. "You accompany her and buy whatever she wants on my account." "Hey, Jeff.”
Watching Jefferson leave without any nostalgia, Alicia stomped her feet in frustration and shouted at his back, "Is money what I lack? I just want you to accompany me!"
Jefferson didn't turn back and waved his hand without looking at them. The onlookers in the restaurant all turned to look at Alicia, thinking that she felt embarrassed after being rejected by a man. Alicia glared back directly. "What are you looking at?”
Sophia was afraid that she would lose her temper and make a scene, so she grabbed her arm and comforted her. "Maybe Jeff really has something to do. Let's go for a walk first.”
She joked again, "I asked Jeff to buy us some clothes earlier, and it took me a long time to persuade him. But as soon as we arrived here, he spent money without hesitation. With your presence, I'm going to take advantage of him.”
Alicia indeed enjoyed hearing these words. Although she didn't lack money, Jefferson was willing to spend money on her, which made her feel a bit sweet.
Feeling content, she still maintained her arrogance on the face. "No need for him. Whatever you like. I'll pay for it.” "Oh, thank you, Ms. Gibson."
Seeing Sophia manage to make Alicia happy with just a few words, Elianna understood why she was praised by everyone in the Larsen family. Just as she was thinking, Sophia smiled at her and said, "Elianna, let's go together?”
Elianna didn't dare to go and casually blurted out, "No. I have to go back and make supper for Asher.”
"Oh, I see."
Sophia didn’t insist. "Then let's go to the parking lot together.”
In the descending elevator, Elianna stood in the corner and listened to Sophia chatting with Alicia.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Seeing the name on the screen, Elianna quickly silenced it, but Sophia still heard it.
Turning around, Sophia smiled and said, "Is it Asher urging you?”
"Yes."
Elianna pretended to be shy and lowered her head, but in fact, she was trying to conceal her horror.
"Then answer quickly. Don't keep him waiting.”
Since Sophia said so, it would be strange if she didn't answer.
She turned down the volume to the lowest and reluctantly answered the call.
"Hello, Asher. The signal is bad in the elevator. What's up?"
After a twoxsecond pause on the .* other end, a low laughter followed by an eléctric current entered her ears. Gontent belongs to swnevel.net

Elianna held back a bellyful of words that couldn't be said and gritted I her teeth;Alright, wait for me then. ‘Well, we'll talk more when we get ‘back."
Just as she was about to hang up, the man stopped her again. "Wait." The elevator arrived, and Elianna lagged two steps behind. trying hard to maintain a smile. “What's wrong?"
"We have to act convincingly. Call me ‘honey’.”
