The Reckoning of Love ( Sophia Yancey )

Chapter 59 Heading Back

As Matilda was drinking her alcohol, Sophia kept the conversation brief. She transferred some money and requested Matilda to show gratitude to the people who had assisted them.

After finishing, she slowly packed up her things. While she tidied up the clothes she had worn the previous day, a diamond cufflink slipped out. She paused for a moment before reaching out to pick it up.

That diamond cufflink was something she had spotted last year during a shopping trip in Spoint while accompanying Joseph on a business trip. She loved it and immediately spent two months’ worth of salary to purchase it.

Recalling that moment, she found it ironic as she was well aware of her current position. She firmly believed that even the act of gift-giving seemed like an intrusion in Joseph’s relationship.

This cufflink held memories of the night he had stayed over at her place after returning from a business trip. She remembered how calmly she had pinned the cufflink onto his suit sleeve the following day.

“Let’s bring you along.” She held the cufflink tightly in her palm, though the sharp edges made her palm tingle.

After gathering her belongings, Sophia checked out of the room and headed to the hotel restaurant. There, she ordered a light yet nutritious meal. As she took a few bites, she noticed that a group chat on Twitter had become active.

In the President’s Office Survival Squad chatroom, Hoping4NoScolding typed, ‘I heard the president will officially announce his engagement tomorrow!

WorkingIsMyPassione chimed in. ‘He’s been absent from the company for several days. Rumor has it that he’s accompanying his fiancé to choose a wedding dress.

DiligentOdel uploaded some pictures. ‘Have you all seen the engagement ring? It seems to have been leaked by an international entertainment blogger. He got a massive diamond ring for his fiancé!”

Hoping4NoScolding responded. That’s one big diamond!”

WorkingIsMy Passione replied, ‘So ostentatious!

Sophia looked at the enormous diamond in the picture before glancing at the diamond cufflink resting on her palm. In comparison, it appeared shabby.

Just as she was about to put away her phone, a message from Joseph popped up. ‘Show your phone.

She stared at the dialogue box and remained silent for a moment. Mr. Lynch, the handover for Edgeminster Infrastructure Project is complete. She typed a line and sent it,

Before waiting for his reply, she immediately sent another message. As for the secretary’s work matters, I’ve already handed over all the work notes to Miss White. With this, the transfer of all tasks is complete, and I won’t be returning to the company. She added, Regarding the position of Executive President, I’ve concluded that it doesn’t suit me after careful consideration.

Suddenly, a voice call request from Joseph came in, but she hung up the call without hesitation. Later, she blocked his number and turned off her phone before tossing it into her bag.

Next, she slowly finished her meal. Her other phone rang, and she answered the call. “Hello, Miss Yancey. This is your assigned driver speaking!”
