It’s from Sophia Fraser.
Chloe Grant looked at her phone ringing, feeling a bit helpless.
She finally picked it up, "Hello?"
"I can see you already, come out, let’s go eat together. We haven’t really met since you got sick." Sophia Fraser said, as if it was only natural.
Chloe Grant thought, that’s indeed the case.
"Should we invite Ava and Zoe?" Chloe Grant asked.
Sophia Fraser, already walking towards Chloe Grant, answered, "No need, just the two of us will do. I have something to ask your advice on anyway."
Sophia Fraser had already come up to Chloe Grant.
They hung up the phone.
"Why did you suddenly come to Matthew’s company?" Sophia Fraser probed.
Chloe Grant was a bit taken aback by the use of this name.
Usually, only family members or people very close to Matthew Morgan called him that.
Even Chloe Grant had never called him that.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Sophia Fraser looked at Chloe Grant with curiosity, waving her hand in front of her.
Chloe Grant snapped back, quickly shaking her head, "No, nothing at all..."
Sophia Fraser gave her a helpless look, pulling her hand as she walked forward.
"There’s a hotpot place, let’s just have hotpot." She said, while already pulling Chloe Grant’s hand into the restaurant.
The hotpot was a Sichuan-Chongqing style, the moment they entered, there was a rich, spicy aroma with someone playing the guzheng on stage, adding to the ambiance.
Sophia Fraser got them a private room and together with Chloe Grant, started ordering, eventually handing the menu to Chloe Grant.
Chloe Grant looked, then shook her head, "Let’s just eat what you’ve ordered first, we can order more if it’s not enough."
She really wasn’t in the mood for food.
"Just as she said," Sophia Fraser nodded.
The waiter took the menu and started placing their order.
"By the way, were you looking for him at Matthew’s company entrance?"
Sophia Fraser repeated the question Chloe Grant hadn’t answered earlier.
Chloe Grant paused, her expression a little flustered, "I... I was just passing by."
It seemed clumsy and unconvincing.
Chloe Grant added another line, "And then I thought, maybe I should go up and see Uncle Morgan... But it wasn’t anything urgent, so I was quite torn, and then you just happened to call me."
This explanation shouldn’t be too bad, right?
"Oh, I see." Sophia Fraser nodded.
She took a sip of her drink and then said, "I just came with my dad to discuss work with Matthew. Originally, Matthew said he would take me out to eat, but due to a last-minute meeting, I came out on my own."
Sophia Fraser looked helpless, shrugging.
She glanced at Chloe Grant, then added, "Previously, Matthew said we don’t know each other well enough. We should get to know each other more, and if things go well, get engaged next year."
"Huh?" Chloe Grant was taken aback.
"Getting engaged next year..."
"Yeah." Sophia Fraser lowered her head, smiling softly, "Actually, I think it’s too soon, I’ll only be a sophomore next year. But..."
Before finishing her sentence, Sophia Fraser burst out laughing, "My dad said Matthew is a catch and I should hold on to him quickly." Read full story at novel·fire.net
"Previously..." Sophia Fraser paused, then continued, "Matthew’s meaning was that we weren’t familiar, and since he’s quite an introverted person, he’s shy to talk to me. We should have more contact in the future."
After speaking, Sophia Fraser lowered her head, looking bashful, like a young girl on the verge of stepping into a new marriage.
Chloe Grant tugged at the corners of her mouth, wanting to smile, but... found she couldn’t at all.
