Chapter 9: Sophie and Paul's conversation.

Sarah raised an eyebrow at Sophie, she seemed to be starting to have a different view of this girl. Although Sophie is young and inexperienced in the role of assistant, she is very smart and sharp in convincing the opposite person, isn't she? Let alone in front of her was a small boy who was difficult to convince, but she managed to do it. If manager Rita saw this expression of Sophie, surely she would not despise Sophie's ability to handle situations anymore.

"Thank you Sophie! Do you have your own car? I'll take you home."

Paul blinked and then secretly laughed in his heart, he was extremely wondering what Sophie's reaction would be, what excuse would she use to make Sarah no longer want to take her home. Because if Sarah knew her assistant, her house was many times bigger than hers, how would she feel? Surely she would think that Aunt Sophie approached her for some malicious purpose, and of course Aunt Sophie's job as an assistant was over. Paul thought that Sophie would find an excuse to refuse Sarah to take her home, but she did not expect that Sophie would definitely nod in agreement and thank her. Surprised the boy too.

"Sister Sarah, you're so nice."

"It's okay, in the future as long as you do a good job, I promise not to mistreat you." Sarah smiled heartily.

"Sister Sarah, please trust me, I will definitely do my job well." Sophie looked straight into Sarah's eyes with affirmation.

Sarah smiled and nodded at her, somehow she liked this girl more and more, and it felt like meeting her former assistant for the first time. Hopefully Sophie and she will also understand each other and be able to stick together for a long time like she and her old assistant.

Very quickly the car stopped at an apartment building, neither too old nor too bright. Sarah glanced outside, assessed the apartment building, then turned her head to speak to Sophie.

"Who do you live with? Is it your rental or yours?"

"I live alone, my parents live in the countryside, this apartment is rented by a relative." Sophie calmly replied fluently.

Paul beside him silently gave Sophie a thumbs up, praising her acting skills. She was supposed to be an actress like Sarah, not an assistant and one thing he really wanted to compliment Sophie a lot, was that she prepared the lie props very well. Find a whole house that fits her aunt's pretense.

"Sophie, are you safe here? Is it okay to be alone?"

"Don't worry, I know martial arts." Sophie did some martial arts moves with her hands for Sarah to see.

Only Paul next to him began to glance around the building, he was sure that around the apartment Sophie lived in, there would be many bodyguards ordered by her grandparents to protect her safety. Not to mention she was right, with her martial arts ability, he also trusted that it would be difficult for ordinary men to touch her. He once criticized her for being a girl but not feminine at all, now he understood, being strong also has the good of being strong, just like now, maybe because she knows martial arts so later assistant work will also be easier. He felt even more secure when he had her by Sarah's side.

Sarah raised her eyebrows, she silently praised Sophie in her heart, she was independent at a young age, but also a strong and resilient girl. She is confident that this girl's future will be very promising.

"Sophie, I promise you, as long as you do a good job, in a few years, you will definitely have enough money to buy a bigger house, then pick up your parents to live with." Sarah smiled affirmatively at Sophie.

Paul gave Sarah a wistful look, he felt sorry for Sarah for colluding with another girl to lie to her. He promised himself, this would be the last time he lied to her, in the future no matter what happened, he would always be honest with her. Paul was lost in thought when he heard Sarah call him.

"Paul, do you want to go up to Sophie's house to play? I have urgent business to go now, I can't take you home."

Sophie winked at Paul, hoping the boy would continue to understand what she meant. Fortunately, this time the two continued to understand each other.

"Sarah has work to do, you can go to Sophie's house and wait for your father to come pick you up."

"Don't worry, Sarah, I will take good care of the boy."

Sarah glanced at one big and one small then nodded in agreement with the two. For some reason, she had a strange feeling about their relationship. Her intuition told her that Sophie and Paul knew each other before. But she clearly saw that the two of them didn't show any signs of knowing each other. Perhaps she saw how easily Paul would allow a strange girl to approach him, that was why she had such thoughts.

After Sarah left, Paul and Sophie started to turn against each other. The two stared at each other, then Sophie spoke first.

"Go home, I have something to ask you."

"I also have something to discuss with you."

Ten minutes later, Paul sat in Sophie's "props'' apartment looking left and right, glancing at every little corner of the house. I silently praised Sophie's excellent preparation. The interior is really a poor girl, nothing is worth it. If it weren't for him being Sophie's family member, he wouldn't have thought that the girl in front of him and Sophie were the same person. Her private room was in her real home, he had been in several times, and was equally surprised each time by the foolishness of the interior. Everything that exists in her room, from the carpet to the small vase of flowers, is expensive, even limited edition.

"Haven't you seen enough, now tell me, why do you and Sarah know each other, besides being close?"

Sarah, after a moment of contemplation observing her grandson, finally couldn't hold back anymore and went straight to the point. She was really curious, obviously Sarah had just returned home, how could she get to know Paul so quickly, and still have a close relationship as if they had known each other for a long time. She even felt that the closeness between the two was very strange. If it weren't for Paul's mother who had died giving birth to the boy, she would probably have thought Sarah was Paul's biological mother, and the two lost each other only now to meet again.

"I met you by accident at the mall, I seem to have known your father before, but after that, there was a conflict, so the two of us hated each other, but Sarah liked me from the first time we met, so we were close." Paul honestly explained to Sophie that he had nothing to hide from her either. Because he still needed her help.

"Is that really the case?"

Sophie squinted at Paul, she wanted to see if he was lying? She honestly couldn't believe that they had such a close relationship just when they first met. Moreover, Sarah is very spoiled and respects the boy's decision.

"I've never known what a lie is, and there's no need to hide it. Now it's your turn, I have something to discuss with you." Paul looked straight at Sophie seriously, if anyone else saw Paul now, they probably wouldn't think this was a five-year-old boy. Because of his attitude and actions like an adult.

"Negotiate what?" Sophie was bewildered.

"I helped you to be Sarah's assistant, you have to help me with three things to return the favor, or I will tell Sarah to fire you. Believe me, your advice is very valuable to Sarah now." Paul raised his eyebrows both proudly and threateningly with Sophie.

Sophie glared, she silently gritted her teeth in her heart, as expected Paul is Peter's biological son, their personalities are similar as a perfect copy. Even, it must be commended that Paul is young, but smarter and more cunning than his father. She believed very much in Paul's words, what he said surely he would do and do very well. So Sophie had no choice but to compromise with Paul.

"Okay, you want me to say something."

"One, after going to work, every day after finishing work, all the things Sarah has experienced during the day, I have to send an email to you. Two, absolutely do not let any bad person bully or bully you. hurt Sarah Dad, when Sarah is in trouble, she must immediately call me on the phone. Is it that simple?"

Sophie's eyes widened at Paul, this boy, has she watched too many adult movies? After what he said, it was like he was making her a spy, helping him stay by Sarah's side. Moreover, the way you supervise Sarah is like a pervert for love. She narrowed her eyes coldly and asked Paul.

"What do you consider Sarah to be yours? Are there any perverted thoughts? Do you believe I will tell your father to send you to a mental hospital for psychological treatment?"

"You're the one who needs to go to the mental hospital, I tell you the truth, I want Sarah to be my mother and my father's woman. Do you understand?"
