Chapter 408: Do You Think It's Good to Be a Back-up?
"What a coincidence!"
David doesn't sense the hostility between the two women. He lets Sofia get in the car and helps her put
the suitcase.
Lily moves a little bit so that Sofia can sit down.
Glancing at the graceful woman, Lily says, "Sorry, I'm going back in your car."
"It's fine. I think it's good." Sofia smooths her long hair and says with a smile, "If I had known that Ms.
Lily and my David were friends, I would have just come out with you."
My David?
Lily can't stand it and she trembles. Then she lowers her head to send John a message to say that
she's safe.
Since her phone falls to the ground just now, she hasn't called back yet.
Sofia knows that Lily doesn't want to be disturbed, so she doesn't speak anymore.
After David gets in the car, Sofia asks him with concern, "I heard it was raining in Yorkshire last week.
You didn't catch a cold, did you?"
"No. I'm strong!" David hands her the thermos cup in the car as he replies. "Oolong tea with peach in it.
I made it an hour ago.
"Thanks." Sofia takes the thermos cup.
As soon as the lid of the cup is unscrewed, the sweet fragrance of the peach comes out.
Lily feels a little uncomfortable when she smells this fragrance. So she moves aside.
Sofia pours a cup of tea and hands it over, "Ms. Lily, would you like to try it?"
"No, thanks." Lily suppresses the discomfort and pushes the cup away.
Sofia shrugs and doesn't force her to drink it.
While Lily is playing her mobile phone, she hears David and Sofia talk about where to eat tonight, and
riding horses at the racecourse this weekend.
Lily is tongue-tied. She doesn't know whether she should blame David as a simp, or she should praise
Sofia that she's so great that she can deal with two men at the same time.
When they arrive, Lily can't wait to open the door and get out.
David helps Lily with the suitcase.
"David, come here." After taking a deep breath of fresh air, Lily pulls David aside and says, "Your
classmate is very smart and beautiful. But she's quite like an angelic bitch."
"What are you talking about?" David asks curiously.
"..."
Lily touches her forehead and whispers, "I mean she's been hooking up with any men. Forget about
that. What do you think of the relationship between her and Mr. Smith?"
She doesn't believe what she reads in the newspaper and wants to hear what David is gonna say.
After all, David has always worked with Louis.
"Not bad." David smiles, but he seems somewhat disappointed. "Ms. Lily, you know Mr. Smith. He likes
to advance talents. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept the R Department."
Lily feels upset.
Right. Outstanding women can be found everywhere. Anyone can take her place.
Lily suppresses the sadness and says to David, "Sofia is so smart. It's impossible for her to date you if
she doesn't know your feelings towards her. Besides, she never refuses to eat and go out with you."
"There's really nothing between Mr. Smith and her."
"Then why can they appear in the same entertainment press?" Lily is speechless, "David, you are so
nice. Don't get bewildered because of such a woman. Is it interesting to be a back-up?"
David continues to defend Sofia, "Perhaps she was on a business trip with Mr. Smith and they were
accidentally caught by the paparazzi."
Lily, "..."
"If she really likes Mr. Smith, I think it's normal." David grins. "After all, Mr. Smith is handsome and rich.
Few women won't be attracted by him."
"Do you think it's good to be a back-up?"
"I'm not a back-up. It's just a one-sided love." David corrects Lily, "As long as the relationship between
she and Mr. Smith is not confirmed, it is legal for me to treat her to dinner and go out."
"..."
Before Lily can recover from the shock, David looks at her and says, "Stop talking about Sofia. By the
way, Ms. Lily, you're also quite like that 'angelic bitch'."
"..."
"I heard from Kay that Mr. Smith went to Hanchi for you one day and he was almost crazy. Mr. Smith
was so kind to you, but you left with John without saying a word and even broke up with him."
"We're different, okay?" Lily is so angry that she wants to beat him. "John is in poor health. I took him
abroad to see doctors. I've never dated John from the beginning to the end. We didn't have any affair
and I've refused him. Did you see that my affair with him was published in the newspaper?"
"Actually, I didn't see that, but everyone knows your relationship." David keeps saying "Previously, I
went to a party in Country Z with Mr. Smith. Everyone knows the love affair between you and John."
Lily grits her teeth and says, "I'm just playing a role as his girlfriend in front of outsiders. There's nothing
between us. If I were really with him, would I come back to Country Z?"
"Then Ms. Lily, why did you come back to Country Z?"
Lily glances at Sofia and notices that she is playing her mobile phone and doesn't pay much attention
to them. So she says, "Burnell says he wants to retire in three years...."
She tells David why she returns to Country Z.
After saying that, she glares at David, "Don't say that I'm an 'angelic bitch'. I'm not like your classmate,
who has such a close relationship with Mr. Smith and also hangs out with you."
"So that's it!" David understands. "Then Ms. Lily, you...."
"Stop. He can love whoever he wants to. I won't make up with him!" Lily knows what he means. So she
blocks what he's gonna say and leaves with a cold face.
As long as she thinks of Louis' ruthlessness that day, she will be annoyed.
Even if she does something wrong, can't they sit down and talk about it? After sleeping with Lily, he
throws her some money and runs away! And he even hooks up with other women recklessly!
It's up to him! She won't behave like an idiot and give birth to three children for that man. She can
afford to raise them!
Seeing Lily enter the apartment, David touches his head and wonders, 'Didn't Mr. Smith go to see Ms.
Lily when we went to the party last time? Didn't they talk about it and solve the misunderstanding?'
Sofia rolls down the window and asks him, "Are you done talking to Ms. Lily?"
"It's over. I'll be right there." David quickly gets in the car, "Should I drive you home or?"
"Go to the company. I have some things to deal with." Sofia smooths her long hair and says
unintentionally, "I heard from the people in my department that Mr. Smith does not look good these
days. Did anything happen to you when you went to Country Y?"
David smiles. "It's fine. It's just that we failed the business there."
"Oh, I see." Sofia nods and leans towards the driver's seat. "David, I know that you and Ms. Lily are
friends, but she has broken up with Mr. Smith and is not the member of the Smith Group."
"I hope that you can have less contact with her. You know what happened between Mr. Smith and her. I
don't want Mr. Smith to blame you and make you lose your job."
"Really?" David can't help but say, "They just broke up with each other. They're not enemies."
"Besides, if Mr. Smith hadn't cared about Ms. Lily, he wouldn't have gone all the way to Country Y to
help her."
That night, David witnesses how busy Justin is and he listens to Justin's complaints all night.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Sofia pats him, "Have you ever seen any couple break up and still be friends? I'm worried about you.
You will lose nothing without Ms. Lily."
