Chapter 42 - Eating Together

Meanwhile, Jennifer came out of her room again. Slowly she walked towards the kitchen and peeked at Sophia and Michael.

"Perfect, they look like a complementary couple. Hope they can get back together!". Jennifer thought. 

After some thought, Jenifer told Larry about the two of them by sending a photo taken with the caption, "Boss, don't you feel jealous of their display of affection? I'm really jealous."

Not long after, Larry replied to the message quickly. "I will help you!".

Jennifer didn't understand what Larry meant, but she wasn't interested in asking because she had to take a shower to look fresh in front of Michael and Sophia.

An hour later, all the food was served on the dining table. Just then the bell rang.

"Jenifer... Looks like a guest, can you open it?". Sophia said while busy arranging the plates. 

The tidy Jennifer rushed to open the door. 

"Boss, why did you come?" Jennifer asked when she saw Larry standing behind the door. 

"Hahaha... To help you. Besides, I also want to taste the food that my future sister-in-law made". Larry replied with a chuckle.

After answering Jenifer's question, Larry went inside without waiting for Jennifer to invite him. 

Right at that moment, Larry fell silent as his nose was spoiled by the smell of the dishes made by Sophia and Michael. Immediately he felt very hungry.

"Good evening lovely couple, please don't bother forcing me to eat, because without being forced I will definitely eat". Larry said as he sat down in one of the chairs in front of the dining table.

Sophia and Michael frowned when they saw Larry suddenly appear and sit down without being asked.

"Who asked you to come?". Michael asked sarcastically.

"Hahahaha ... Brother, why is your face so tense? Of course I came because Jenifer invited me, right?". Larry glanced at Jennifer with a wink. 

"I?". Jennifer pointed at herself in confusion because she felt like she never invited Larry.

Sophia looked at Jenifer, immediately Jenifer waved her hands. Sophia immediately understood that Larry was lying.

"Don't talk anymore! We'd better eat while it's warm. We happen to cook a lot so Larry can join in." Sophia said while sitting on her chair.

"Yes". Larry was very happy and excited to eat the food.

The four of them had dinner together enjoying the results of Sophia and Michael's cooking happily. 

That night, Sophia and Michael were like a normal couple again even though Sophia still looked awkward and there was concern on her face. 

The next morning. 

At the W Group headquarters, everyone suddenly congratulated Michael as he arrived at the office.

Of course they intend to curry favor by congratulating them for an increase in their salary.

Michael did not understand what they were talking about, so he immediately called Jason.

CEO's Room.

"What happened?". Michael asked when Jason was in front of him. 

Jason immediately stuck out his cell phone, he showed his boss the hot news that had just circulated on the internet and social media.

Instantly Michael's expression darkened, his gaze so ferocious that the room suddenly became very cold. Jason was starting to get cold.

"Delete this news, and tell all employees that today they have to work overtime. And this month there is no bonus for them". Michael said as he clenched his fists. 

Jason couldn't understand why his boss had suddenly become savage and cruel. Shouldn't he be happy and double their bonus since he's getting engaged soon?

"Yes boss!" After that, Jason immediately left Michael's room.

Without wasting time, Jason immediately asked the public relations team to delete the news. And with a heavy heart he gave the bad news to all his employees.

At that moment they were confused and disapproved, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Somewhere in a certain place there was a thumping heart to hear the news that spread on the internet about her engagement to Michael. 

Just as he was about to check the comments, suddenly the news disappeared from the search.

"Why is there no?". Clara thought in confusion. 

Not long after that, she called her assistant, Vivi.

"What's the matter boss?".

"Quickly find out why the news about my engagement suddenly disappeared!" Clara replied irritably.

"Yes boss!"

Not long after, Vivi returned with the information she had obtained.

"How?" asked Clara.

"The news about the boss's engagement was deleted by the W Group's public relations team". Vivi answered while giving evidence to Clara. 

Immediately Clara was shocked, she gritted her teeth while clenching her fists in anger.

"Michael, why are you doing this to me? Even if you delete it, it will never change the fact that soon you will be mine. Just wait Michael! Just you wait! I can definitely beat you!". Inner Clara.

After that she glanced at Vivi again. "Is the dress I'm going to wear to Mr George's wedding ready?".

"It's boss, I'm sure you will be in the spotlight at Mr George's wedding". Vivi replied.

"Very nice". Clara smiled with satisfaction because she wanted to be in the spotlight at Vio and George's wedding later.

Because what will come to George's wedding consists of businessmen and important people. Therefore, Clara wants to stand out so that she is increasingly considered worthy of being a companion to the CEO of the W Group.

University FBI.

At the same time, all the lecturers at the FBI campus seemed busy preparing wedding gifts for Vio's wedding.

Only Sophia did not want to interfere, therefore she immediately left the campus after finishing teaching.

Unbeknownst to Sophia, Larry and Zian were already waiting for her in front of the campus main door.

Larry smiled when he saw Sophia from a distance, he immediately got out of the car without Zian.

Instantly, Larry's presence became the center of attention. His blonde hair and tall body and fair skin attracted attention even though he was only wearing casual clothes and sunglasses.

His luxury car was already eye-catching enough now that he used his charms to make all the girls crowd around him. 

Larry just smiled at the phenomenon, because it was a very common sight for him. 

Sophia was silent when she recognized Larry, she started walking again after she was sure that it was Larry.

"Larry...".

"Hello sister-in-law". Larry greeted Sophia with a sweet smile. 

Sophia frowned when Larry called her sister-in-law. But, she also did not refuse to be called like that.

"Why are you here?". asked Sophia in confusion.

"Someone wants to meet you". Larry replied.

"Who?".

Larry also led Sophia to see the adorable little boy looking at her from the car.

Sophia smiled and opened the car door. "Zian... You're so handsome!".

"Thank you Auntie. But, Auntie got in the car first!". Zian said with a sweet smile. 

"Okay".

Sophia got into the car and sat beside Zian casually. After that, Sophia hugged Zian.

Zian's cheeks immediately turned red because he was embarrassed to get a hug from the girl he liked.

"We're leaving now!" said Larry excitedly.

"Where to?". Asked Sophia after she let go of Zian's arms.

"You'll find out later". After that, Larry immediately started his car. 

Meanwhile, everyone started making rumors about Sophia being picked up by a handsome rich man. 

The rumor became a hot topic on the campus site, everyone started talking about it. However, no one knows who this man is.

Queen's Boutique. 

A few minutes later, Larry's car took up parking in front of one of the famous and luxurious boutiques in downtown B.

"Why are we here?". asked Sophia in surprise.

"Buy clothes". Larry replied with a big smile.

"For whom? Isn't this a boutique exclusively for women?".

"For you. So, let's go out now!". Larry answered while inviting Sophia to get out of the car.

"I don't want to! This place is famous for being so expensive that I can't possibly buy a single dress". Sophia refused to come down because she didn't have much money to buy a dress in the boutique.

"I will buy you as my gratitude because you have made my brother smile. Besides, I don't want you to appear normal at your friend's wedding." Larry said.

Sophia was silent.

"I don't want to! Because I still have clothes I can wear". Sophia is still stubborn.

"Then I have no choice but to cancel our promise". said Larry very regretfully. 

Sophia was surprised, she started to get annoyed with Larry. But, she couldn't do anything.

"Alright, let's go in. But don't blame me if I make your wallet empty".. Sophia said curtly.
