"Did I ever say you couldn’t meet him?" He shook his head helplessly, "Where is he? I’ll take you there."
Sophie Smith was initially unresponsive, just staring at him blankly.
"I said, where is he now? I’ll take you to meet him." He repeated patiently.
"Oh, that school, the café in the east area of the school, you turn around here and go straight, and you’ll see..." she quickly added, fearing he might change his mind.
He turned the car around and drove to the location she mentioned.
He parked the car steadily in a spot not far from the café and was just about to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out when she stopped him with her voice.
"Wait for me in the car, I’ll be back soon," she said seriously.
She did this without much confidence, afraid he would get angry.
After hearing her words, his hand went back from the seatbelt.
"I’ll give you only thirty minutes, if you’re not out by then, I’ll come in to find you." Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Sophie knew this was already his biggest concession.
"Hmm." She nodded in agreement, then opened the car door and walked towards the café.
Actually, she wasn’t even sure if Edward Harrison was still inside; she glanced at the time of that message, and it had been almost two hours since.
She opened the revolving door of the café, scanning the somewhat crowded café with her eyes.
"Hey, isn’t that Sophie Smith? What’s she doing here?"
"Yeah, she looks quite pretty in person."
The students here for coffee were excited to see Sophie since not long ago, she had appeared at the school celebration event, arm in arm with Eastern City’s diamond bachelor.
Sophie was a bit caught between a rock and a hard place. This time, she miscalculated; in her eagerness to meet Edward Harrison, she forgot her identity; she was no longer the junior student Sophie Smith who could freely enter and exit the school without being recognized.
The students all took out their phones, saying they wanted to take pictures with her as a memento.
As an alumna, she naturally couldn’t refuse, so she had to nod and agree.
There were many male students who couldn’t restrain themselves, stepping forward, and even some bold ones who directly wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Sister Sophie, since we’re from the same school, could you give me your phone number?" the boy said with a slick tone, "Sister, you’re now the goddess of all the boys at our school!"
Sophie took his hand off her waist, a slightly impatient look on her face.
Even though she cooperated with their photos and autographs, that didn’t mean she would let people take advantage of her, right?
She didn’t see Edward Harrison, so she prepared to leave.
Upon hearing a familiar voice, she turned her head in surprise.
Isabella Yates’s smug face instantly came into her view.
Isabella held Edward’s arm, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Edward was just about to approach Sophie when Isabella held him back.
His expression was momentarily unnatural; he genuinely wanted to see Sophie, which is why he texted her. But who knew that Isabella would follow him to the café? Isabella naturally understood Edward’s feelings; she noticed it during the school celebration event, seeing that something was off in Edward’s gaze towards Sophie.
"Sophie, you secretly arranged to meet my boyfriend, so I followed along, which seems perfectly reasonable. Although I trust Edward, I can’t trust you." Isabella deliberately raised her voice, ensuring everyone in the crowded café could hear clearly.
