The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 153

Without Sophia, would NRTE come to a halt? She knew that NRTE would not stop spinning without her. The world doesn’t stop moving just because one person isn’t there.

This was the truth, but Sebastian’s tone made Sophia very uncomfortable. Did he have to put it that way even if it was the truth?

“Are you implying that I didn’t do my job well? So just anyone can replace me?” Sophia’s tone instantly became cold, no longer polite and pleasant.

Sophia didn’t know why Sebastian would suddenly ask her this. She felt unusually wronged. She even thought that this was a denial of all the work she had done during this period.

“Sophia, I didn’t mean that. You did a good job. But the company won’t stop running just because it is missing an employee. Things will continue moving just as they should. Do you understand?” Sebastian tried his best to explain.

The atmosphere was fine earlier. He wanted to express his concern for her so that she would rest and not go back to work later. How did it escalate to this?

Her reaction seemed like she was feeling more than just anger. Sebastian immediately regretted it. He should not have made things sound so serious earlier.

“Hah, I did well? Aren’t I still easily replaceable? I think some people have been dissatisfied with me from the beginning.” There was sarcasm in her voice. Sophia instantly disregarded everything that Sebastian had done for her. At this moment, she only wanted to push him away.

He knew that work was everything to her. Why did he refuse to acknowledge everything? If he still didn’t know that work was everything to her, he didn’t understand her. He didn’t know her at all. If so, was it even worth liking and adoring him?

“No, I’m very satisfied with you. I’m very satisfied with your work, and I’m also very satisfied with you. Even if I were to leave NRTE, it would still be running.” When Sebastian saw Sophia’s flushed face, his heart became flustered. He did not know how to make Sophia understand that he only wanted her to rest more.

Sometimes, deep inner thoughts are revealed when one speaks too quickly. Did he say he was also very satisfied with her? Could she not have caught that at all? Now that she was angry, it was not the time to say these things. If he were to be nice to her now, she would probably be even angrier. Sebastian knew that timing was crucial in many things. Timing determines the success or failure of a matter.

“Since you are satisfied with me, you can send me to work. I will work hard!” Sophia got out of bed and planned to pack her things.

It seemed that Sophia did not hear what he said at all. She took his concern for her as a lack of recognition for her work. That was not what he meant. This woman had selective listening.

“No!” Sebastian croaked. He also stood up from the chair by the bed and held Sophia’s hand reflexively.

Sophia’s hand was hurting from Sebastian’s grip.

She did not care to shout. She only tried her best to break free from Sebastian’s grip. Then, she stared at him coldly. “Why not? I have the freedom to choose whether I want to stay or go! You are my boss. I don’t need you to interfere in my life. What right do you have to do that?”

A clear line was drawn. Bro? She only take him as her boss. Could a boss control her thoughts and life?

Did Sebastian think that as the CEO of NRTE, he had the right to decide whether an employee should go to work or rest? Did the CEO have the right to be so autocratic?

Sebastian pushed Sophia back to the bed. He grabbed her hand singlehandedly and supported her with the other hand on the edge of the bed. He pressed her body under his, making her unable to move.

“Hey… Get off…” Sophia suddenly lost her arrogance. She stuttered, and her body felt a little uncomfortable. This seemed to be the first time Sebastian was so close to her.

His hot breath brushed her face, which made her soften instantly and faded half her anger. But it was his fault. She only wanted to go back to work as soon as possible. What was wrong with that?

“You know, I never meant that.” Sebastian looked into Sophia’s eyes and said seriously, “Sophia, you shouldn’t be throwing a tantrum at me now. You’re pregnant now. You need to rest well.”

“What’s wrong with being a pregnant woman? Don’t pregnant women need to work? If they don’t work, how will they raise the baby?” Sophia asked very softly. Looking at Sebastian’s face, which was less than five centimeters away from hers, she was not as confident as before.

“I understand that you want to work. But I hope you can stay at NRTE, not just for an internship. I hope as long as NRTE is around, as long as I am around, you will be around. Do you understand?” Sebastian looked straight at Sophia and said sincerely..
