Revenge On My First Love
Chapter 214 Emma's Invitation

"Oh? What gift?" Roman asked curiously.

The man whispered in his ear for a few seconds. Roman nodded his agreement.

"All right. Since you've prepared me a gift, I'll give you one in return." As he spoke, he passed the contract that was supposed to be signed by Sophia to the man.

The man read it through and said in disbelief, "Master Roman, this gift is too much. I cannot accept it. Thank you for your kindness, though."

"Why? Are you on my side? Do you want to deny it?"

"Uh... Well..." The man laughed. "Thank you for your generosity, Master Roman."

"You are welcome. We'll be allies from now on."

They snickered together.

...

When Sophia received Aria's call, she had just finished work.

Stretching her shoulders, she asked, "Hello, Aria. What's up?"

"Ms. Glass will prepare a feast tonight. She wants to invite you. Are you free?"

Sophia checked her schedule book and replied, "Yes, I am. Your brother won't be there, will he?"

"Sophia, are you alert to your teacher and me now?"

"I have to."

Aria laughed as she was annoyed. Suddenly, she didn't know how to retort.

"I've finished work. I can leave and will be there soon." After joking, Sophia would still go to see them.

"All right. We'll wait for you."

After packing up her belongings, Sophia left the office. Bailey was waiting for Chloe, who was still busy working.

Sophia asked, "Chloe, why are you so busy? If it's not critical, you can leave it till tomorrow."

"Almost. I'll go later. See you, Sophia," Chloe answered without raising her head as she was too busy.

Sophia glanced at Bailey apologetically. "She's always like that. Please don't be angry with her."

"I like her this way." Bailey stared at Chloe, affection written all over his face.

Sophia shook her head helplessly, thinking she shouldn't have said those words as the two love birds enjoyed their current status. "All right. I'm headed up. See you."

Bailey suggested, "Shall we have dinner together?"

"No, thanks. I'm not interested in being the third wheel. Besides, I have an appointment tonight."

"Is that so? OK. See you next time, Sophia."

"Ehn. Bye."

When Sophia arrived at Emma's villa, she didn't see Drake, feeling relieved.

Aria blamed her. "Sophia, are you serious? Why don't you want to see Drake so much?"

"He's horrible."

"I don't think so. After all, in his opinion, you can never escape from him for the rest of your life." Sophia felt helpless.

"By the way, how is it going between you and Ms. Glass?"

Aria had been staying in Emma's house for a while. They saw each other often daily.

However, Sophia didn't see any progress between Aria and Emma, feeling worried.

Aria replied in frustration, "I'm working hard to make progress, but it doesn't mean I can accept her right away."

"It's alright. Be patient." Sophia didn't want to push her too much.

When Sophia arrived at the house, Emma had finished cooking three dishes.

"Sophia, why didn't you ask your brothers to come here?"

"I called them, but they all were busy."

Aria and Emma exchanged a glance. Sophia noticed it but didn't quite understand. Anyway, she didn't overthink.

During dinner, Drake didn't show up either. Sophia gradually believed Emma invited her for dinner because of missing her.

After dinner, Aria suggested, "Sophia, can you stay here overnight? I want to talk to you tonight."

Sophia was about to refuse, but Emma chimed in, "Sophia, you and Aria are the same age. Aria has been home recently. It's good if you can talk to her." Her words convinced Sophia, so she agreed, "OK. I'll stay."

After she chitchatted with Emma for a while, Emma said she needed to go to bed early and left the living room. Sophia followed Aria into her bedroom.

"Sophia, I actually want to ask something."

"What do you want to know? Go ahead."

"As you saw me last time, I went to the audition but failed. I've been out of school a while but still have nothing to do. I cannot help Drake in the company, but I want to rely on myself at least. What do you think I should do?"

Sophia was surprised as she had never expected Aria to discuss those matters with her.

"Do you like performing?"

"Honestly, I do, but I cannot act well. After the audition last time, I lack self-confidence."

Earlier, Sophia was worried that she wasn't fond of anything. However, Aria's answer made her relieved.

"If you like acting and wish to become an actress, I can give you some advice."

Aria's eyes lit up. Starting at her expectantly, she chirped, "I knew asking you about your opinion should be correct. Please tell me what on earth I should do."

"I have some play scripts. Let me check on them for you to see what roles fit you. Then I'll replace you a teacher to teach you how to perform. As long as you are willing to work hard and overcome the difficulties, you'll surely succeed."

Aria nodded vigorously. "I can do it. I can do anything. Sophia, if you didn't tell me those things, I wouldn't dare to imagine it."

"It's alright. In fact, the show business needs some actors and actresses who are good at performing and treat acting seriously. If you want to study it wholeheartedly, I will help you."

"I will. I definitely will."

"OK. Leave this matter to me. I'll help you."

"Thank you so much, Sophia."

"You are welcome. Ms. Glass treats me as her biological daughter. So in a sense, we're pratically sisters."

While they spoke, they suddenly heard someone talking outside the door. Emma asked, "Why are you here, Drake?"

Aria secretly glanced at Sophia, only to replace she was frowning.

"Mom, I hope I'm not interrupting. I didn't want to stay home alone, so I dropped in. I've finished dinner. Going to bed now." "Did you really have dinner?"

"I swear."

"OK. Tell me if you need anything."

"Sure. Good night, Mom."

Aria saw Sophia move slightly and said, "Sophia, I hope you don't wish to go home again. Drake didn't know you would be here."

Sophia was lost in her thought. This was the third time she had stayed in this house, and she didn't think she would go to Drake's bedroom by mistake again.

She was sure.

"I'm a little bit sleepy. Good night, Aria."

"Good night."

A snicker touched Aria's lips.
