On the way to the old apartment, Sophia went the long way round on purpose and kept paying attention to the surroundings. Obviously, someone was following her.
She was completely shocked. Fortunately, Kathleen was thoughtful and was alien to her. Otherwise, definitely she would be recognized.
Walking into the apartment, she turned very furious on seeing it’s a complete mess of the table.
Zoey was completely shameless about what she had done. She left all the mess only waiting for Sophia to deal with it.
But if Sophia insisted on staying here, she had to do all the chores. Otherwise, Kathleen would be homeless.
After cleaning up the table, she moved back to her smallest room and was planning secretly how she could get a sum of money.
If Kathleen could escape from NK City, then she was in need of a sum of money, otherwise, she could do nothing.
The next day, Sophia was woken up by a sudden knock.
Last night, she had been thinking about Kathleen all the time and couldn’t fall asleep. She was almost up all night. She didn’t expect someone would knock on her door so early. Feeling unwell, she got up and opened the door.
“Well, Sophia. You are totally a slacker. I’m already up, why aren’t you still lying on the bed? Be quick and make breakfast for us.”
Sophia turned to check what time it is. Zoey was old and got up at six in the morning, but she hadn’t slept for an hour.
“It’s too early. I’ll make the breakfast later, alright?” Sophia replied to her.
“It’s getting late. I came over to wake you in person, but you still want to sleep for a few hours. Don’t you even care about whether my grandson is hungry or not? Get up quickly!”
Zoey knocked on her cane and insisted that Sophia get up to make breakfast. She kept calling Sophia a slacker, who only knew to sleep.
Sophia had a headache and didn’t want to have any conflict with her. She had no choice but to get up and make breakfast.
She had already prepared the breakfast. However, Rose didn’t get up until ten o’clock in the morning. The breakfast was already cold.
Then, Zoey knocked on her walking stick again and scolded that Sophia wasn’t flexible. She scolded her for not heating up the breakfast.
It must be that she did it on purpose to let Rose eat something cold. If Rosa wasn’t feeling well after eating it, definitely she would complain about all of this for Sophia.
Sophia pulled a wry face, wondering that Zoey must have been indulged in paranoia!
Sophia thought it ridiculous but still helped to heat up the breakfast. Rose glanced at it and argued that it wasn’t fresh. She wanted to eat the freshest breakfast.
Zoey nodded instantly and demanded Sophia to make another one. Sophia was so angry that she threw the mop in her hand immediately.
Rose had been pregnant for merely three months, but she had already gained ten pounds. It seemed that Rose was being unreasonable.
“If you want to eat breakfast, then make it all by yourself. Anyway, I don’t have any money to buy all the stuff.”
Zoey turned furious. She took out ten bucks from her wallet and threw it on Sophia’s face, “Take it and quickly buy what you need, or get out of my house.”
Rose was being quite picky. With mere ten bucks, what could she buy?
Immediately, the neighbors would hear Zoey and Sophia arguing again. There was no need to guess the reason. Definitely, it must be for the money.
Zoey was too stingy. She had always been fussy about everything, so everyone just took it as a farce.
…
In James’s villa.
When Kara woke up, she noticed that James was changing his clothes. Therefore, she narrowed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He took off his sports shirt. She could see clearly of his strong arms, beefy chest, and eye-catching 8-pack abs…
She was looking forward to seeing him undressing the pants, but suddenly it was a total dark. She was confused.
Crap, she was spotted.
There was a burst of sweat mixed with the faint mint fragrance in the air. She removed the sweatshirt covering her face but found that he had already gotten changed.
“Stupid girl, get up.”
His voice was low and hoarse. It was quite enjoyable to hear his voice.
“Alright.”
She got up, ran to the end of the bed, and opened her arms to him.
“James, give me a hug.”
Seeing her acting like a spoiled child, James glanced at her coldly and ignored it.
You’re getting up so late and still wanted a hug? He didn’t answer her request.
Seeing him being like this, Kara wasn’t angry. She was gazing at him while some sunlight broke in. Her eyes were amber which would become even deeper with the sunlight. Her eyes shone brightly.
If he didn’t hug her, then she could only take the initiative to hug him.
Stepping on the edge of the bed, she suddenly jumped on him.
Seeing her suddenly jumping over, James quickly stretched out his arms and hugged her steadily with his arms.
“Good for you. Do you think you are a bird and could fly?” James scolded her while slapping on her butt angrily.
“Ouch, it hurts. Go easy on me, James.”
Kara grabbed his hand. She pretended to pout prettily to make him forgive her for her sleeping over. She didn’t expect that she was now totally controlled by him.
“Stupid girl, you owe me…” he said.
Before he could finish the sentence, her pink lips covered his mouth.
Gazing at her in shock, he noticed that she tried to stop it.
Well, what a fortune in the morning! He wouldn’t let it go so easily.
He turned around, holding her in his arms. He pressed her against the wardrobe, with one hand holding the back of her head. They kissed more passionately.
“Oh…” Kara regretted.
Knowing that he would scold her a lot, Kara canoodled with him and kissed him back.
Then he seized the opportunity and held her in his arms. He could feel her hot breathing…
He was holding her in the bathtub. In the end, Kara was hypnotized and her breath was heavier…
When Kara arrived at the studio, she had been late for half an hour, he was caught by Master Larry.
“Gotcha you. Dock your pay! ”
Kara pursed his lips and glared at him.
It was all James’s fault. If he didn’t kiss her, how could…
James coughed lightly to cover up his guilty conscience. He patted her head and smoothed her hair.
“Be good. I’ll pick you up after work. Work hard.”
Kara remained silent and grabbed his hand. She didn’t want him to leave.
Master Larry was furious now. If she left, she would definitely be criticized again.
Seeing her holding his hand, his eyes flashed with love. Ignoring Master Larry’s cold face, he calmly held her in his arms and went upstairs.
As long as she went to her own studio and closed the door, Master Larry could do nothing to her.
Master Larry was speechless.
Seeing James protecting her like this, the angry Master Larry couldn’t help laughing.
After sending Kara safely to the art studio, James kissed her goodbye reluctantly and told her to be docile. Then he left.
When he went downstairs and saw that Master Larry was still with a stern face, James nodded to him politely as a greeting.
“You sent her to my studio. Then she can’t always be late and leave early like that. She has to participate in the competition anyway, so she has to put some effort.”
“You’re right. But Kara is very hardworking.” James nodded and replied, “If she didn’t put her heart into it, I wouldn’t send her here every day.”
James wouldn’t let anyone say anything wrong about Kara, not even her teacher.
Hearing this, Master Larry was so furious that he even wanted to smash his teacup.
Why was it that in James’s eyes, Kara coming to the studio every day was a gift to him?
Well, well…
“Kara has been working here for a month and earned less than 800 yuan. I can earn this almost in seconds.” James argued.
“… Get out!” Master Larry said furiously.
Could art be measured by money?
James, who was filthy rich and merely focused on profits. How could he understand aesthetics? No wonder he said such vulgar words.
“…”
Aware that if he provoked Master Larry, Kaya would suffer all of this. Therefore, James nodded and left the studio.
Seeing that James had left, Master Larry went upstairs.
Did he think that Kaya didn’t need to face all her mistakes if he had hidden her in the studio?
Well, he was still too young too simple!
