"Mr. Henry, it's been a long time. I just have some official matters to discuss with Mr. Henry. I didn't expect Mr. Henry to have a guest," said Hurley with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. However, the gaze he cast upon Sophie was chilling.
"This person is indeed an honored guest of our family's company," replied Henry, promising Sophie that he wouldn't disclose her identity to anyone.
"This young lady seems somewhat familiar. A few days ago, it seems I saw her online and heard some rumors about Mr. Henry. Naturally, I don't believe those online rumors. But now that I've seen it, could it be that there's some truth to the online information?"
Hurley's tone was very sharp, indicating that he was in a rather average mood today.
Sophie walked over, saying, "When did Mr. Hurley become so gossipy? Does everyone need to report their private lives to Mr. Hurley?"
Hurley gave a cold smile. What did Sophie mean? Now that there's someone else, does she disregard him even more?
"How is your son?" Sophie was still concerned about Jake.
Hurley has a personal doctor, so Jake's injuries shouldn't be a significant issue.
Sophie just hoped that the previous incident hadn't left any negative impact on the child's mind.
"He's doing well. You don't need to worry!" replied Hurley.
Henry looked at the two of them. "Mr. Hurley and Miss Sophie know each other?" Henry was a bit older than Sophie, so calling her ‘Miss Sophie' wasn't too informal.
"I don't know him." Sophie didn't want any involvement with Hurley and replied very decisively.
Seeing these two individuals—one addressing her intimately as ‘Miss Sophie' while the other acted as if they were strangers—made Hurley more determined to not comply with Sophie's wishes.
He directly placed his hand on Sophie's shoulder, hooked his long arm around her, and pulled her into his embrace.
In a lowered voice, with a hint of warning, he said, "You don't know me? Say that again?"
The large hand on her shoulder carried a scorching warmth, sending a tingling sensation through Sophie's entire body as if an electric current passed through her thin clothes.
Sophie wanted to escape, but Hurley noticed her struggle, and his grip tightened.
"I'm not very familiar with Mr. Hurley, am I?" Sophie gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring at Hurley like that.
In front of the Windsor family members, Sophie's urgency to distance herself from him made Hurley slightly displeased.
Is it really embarrassing to know him? Moreover, they still have an engagement, has Sophie completely forgotten about it?
The more Sophie acted like this, the less Hurley would let her have her way.
"I remember not too long ago we were intimate, and even at the club last time, Miss Sophie took the initiative to kiss me. Doesn't that count as being acquainted?" Hurley said, pressing the issue.
Sophie remained silent.
Will Hurley die if he doesn't speak?
"Hurley, could you be any more shameless?"
Even with others present, despite Sophie's thick skin, she couldn't help but flush slightly with embarrassment.
Henry, on the other hand, showed surprise mixed with a hint of amusement. Hurley, this fox, wouldn't come to their Windsor family without a reason, considering both their families were rival companies. It seemed that claiming to visit and discuss business matters was likely just an excuse.
At first, he thought it was related to knowing about his father, but now Henry felt it wasn't the case; instead, it seemed directed towards Sophie.
This wouldn't do. Sophie was his son's primary candidate for a wife and couldn't be taken away by Hurley!
"Since Mr. Henry has guests, I won't disturb any longer. I'll take my leave first, Mr. Henry," Hurley said.
"It's lunchtime; why not have a meal, and then I'll arrange for a car to take you back?" Henry suggested.
"No..."
Before Sophie could finish her sentence with ‘No,' Hurley interrupted, "Why not just leave it at that? Miss Sophie seems eager to leave whenever she sees me. Is there really something so shameful?"
Sophie remained silent.
What's gotten into Hurley today!
