The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 154
Chapter 154: Are You Sure It’s A No?
What did he mean? Did he want her to be at NRTE in the long run? By his side? With him? What was her identity then? Would she be an employee or something else? What did he mean by ‘as long as he was there, she would, too’? Sophia couldn’t think straight.
“Didn’t you say that NRTE will not stop running without me or just anyone else?” she raised her head and looked straight at Sebastian.
Sebastian didn’t know when he had fallen in love with Sophia. He only knew that he had been thinking about this woman since the first day he met her.
She was so special and charming that she had all his attention.
He liked her stubbornness, courage, perseverance, and intelligence. More importantly, there was never a hint of cowardice in her eyes. She was so different from the rest, giving him an inexplicable feeling in his heart. She was like a white snow lotus, proudly blooming in his world, making him feel a sense of distance that he could not reach.
Sebastian was so stunned, he let go of her. “But, I can’t.”
‘I can’t go on without you.’ His voice was so small that it was almost inaudible as if he was afraid that she would hear it.
Sophia was stunned.
He couldn’t? What did he mean by that?
Could it be that… NRTE could survive without her, but he couldn’t? Couldn’t he live without Sophia? What did he mean? as he confessing to her? But he was so vague that Sophia could only play dumb. Her anger had completely dissipated.
“I want to be an excellent employee and become a qualified investment analyst in the future. I know it’s not easy for a woman, and it’s even more difficult for pregnant women.” Sophia was no longer impulsive. She decided to use her opinion to convince Sebastian.
“But it’s because of this that I need to put in more effort than ordinary people to stand in the position I want and achieve what I want. I hope you can understand this.”
She was very determined, and it didn’t seem like a joke at all. When Sebastian heard this, he was a little moved. This woman was indeed the woman he liked.
“I understand, I always have. But you don’t have to work twice as hard to catch up with others. You only have to do what you can do.”
Sebastian nodded, but he felt differently. However, he didn’t show his emotions but only said that lightly.
‘You do what you can, and I’ll help you do the rest.’
“I think I can go to work in the afternoon. I’m only four months pregnant, I don’t want to be bedridden until the due date. The baby won’t be happy, don’t you think so, bro?” Sophia’s tone softened as she mentioned her baby.
But what Sophia said was not without reason. Sophia looked much better. It would not be a big deal for her to work in the afternoon. As long as she was not asked to work overtime, it would be fine. The office environment was even better than in the hospital. If she insisted on going back, then she would go.
“There is something important I would like to say. I hope you don’t have to hurt your body in the long-run to achieve immediate success. You are very smart. I think you understand this.
“If you want to go to work, you can do so anytime, but you have to follow me. If you want to go somewhere else, you have to follow me. If you feel any discomfort, you have to report to me immediately. ”
“Report to you?” What did he mean by following him? Sophia looked at him and could not help but smile.
“Yes, this is an order.” Sometimes, there were some things that she did not know the importance of unless she was serious about it.
“Can I say no?” She looked unhappy with the decision. However, this was probably Sebastian’s biggest concession.
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. Did she want to bargain with him on this? This girl was fearless.
“Are you sure it’s a no?” Sebastian seemed to know that Sophia would eventually agree.
“Okay, okay, I got it, bro.” Sophia quickly compromised. The current result was already the best. What reason did she have to refuse?
Sophia looked squarely at Sebastian. It had been a long time since she saw a man as handsome as Sebastian since she started working.
Now she realized that Sebastian’s handsome face was so close to her that she could kiss him easily. Sophia’s heart started beating fast.
“Uhm, my hand… hurts…” she reminded him. Sebastian was so close to her that she could not breathe normally.
Sebastian quickly let go. Did he really hurt her? He even raised her hand to take a closer look. There seemed to be some slight red marks.
Sophia saw that Sebastian was a little too anxious about her, and she felt it was a little sweet for some reason..
