Chapter 152 - 152: Are You In A Hurry To See Me?

Before Sophia had time to get up, Molly had pushed Lucas's door and rushed into the room. She held up her phone and shouted, "Boss, you'll be rich!"

What was wrong?

Molly handed the phone to Sophia, went around her back and hugged her hard, "Let's be good friends, rich girl!"

Sophia ignored her, picked up the phone, and saw a message on it.

"OMG! I can't believe it. Our beloved sponsor, @Bertha, decided to give us more support. The prize for the ten-season championship has increased to one million dollars. Hug you, Bertha!"

Sophia had to admit that she got excited when she saw the news.

If five hundred thousand dollars attracted her to play hard, the one million dollars would make her make up her mind to win the championship.

She was on the show to torture Charles, but at this time… She could hardly remember who he was.

It was getting late, and Sophia went to sleep in the guest room.

The next day, Sophia was awakened by a scream.

"Ahhhh..." With the scream, Molly kicked open the door of Sophia's room. "I can't stand it. Can you keep me, rich girl?"

Sophia had a hunch. It couldn't be…

She grabbed Molly's phone and saw a message, which was posted early this morning. At that time, she and Molly were sleeping. So, Molly saw it just now.

"Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night for me. Our Wayward sponsor, @Aphrodite, gives us great benefits again. The prize of the ten-season championship had increased to TWO MILLION dollars. Oh, my little heart. I really want to know the feeling of becoming a millionaire overnight from the champion."

When Sophia saw the message, she felt a determination to overcome all obstacles.

The wayward sponsoring competition between Aphrodite and Bertha had attracted a lot of attention on the Internet so that this season of Super Quiz had become a hot spot before it started.

Everyone was calling for Bertha's next move, speculating whether it would raise the price.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary would be the champion that had not yet been decided, and people speculated about who would be the lucky dog.

"I am completely subservient to the evil forces of money. I regret not reading more books."

"Where's Bertha's next move? Did it throw in the towel? Don't do that so soon."

"I'm betting on Aphrodite. Haven't you noticed that Pearson Group is the big Boss behind it? That's a RICH one! And, love you, husband!"

"I feel Pearson Group is bullying someone, is it? Ha, ha. That's interesting. Come on, Pearson!"

"I've made up my mind. I'll wear the winner's clothes. I'm also wayward."

Sophia had the habit of turning off her phone when she slept at night because she was afraid of being disturbed, and the radiation was not good for her health. She set the phone to turn off and on automatically, her phone turned off at eleven o'clock every night and turned on at seven o'clock in the morning.

In the morning, as soon as her phone was turned on, she heard a series of text messages, which rang for a while before stopping.

Three of the messages were sent from the same unfamiliar number.

"Hello, Miss Green. I'm from Bertha. I want to talk about cooperation with you. Your phone was off when I called you. Could you please call me back?"

"Miss Green, please contact us when you see the message."

"Miss Green, please don't contact someone claiming to be Aphrodite, which is a scam."

A dozen other text messages were sent by Ryan, whose number was in Sophia's phone. The messages showed his name.

"Miss Green, I'm Ryan. I have something for you. Why's your phone off?"

"Contact me as soon as you turn the phone on."

"By the way, if someone claiming to be Bertha comes to you, just ignore it. It's a swindler. Seriously, believe me. I'll never lie to you. Love you!"

"Please call me soon. I can hardly wait for it."

"It's half-past midnight, and I have been waiting for you for over an hour."

"It's two o'clock now. I'm still waiting for you."

"Three o'clock. Still waiting…"

"I won't sleep tonight, just waiting for you."

Sophia was confused. She just slept for a night. What did she miss? The two companies had a sponsorship competition yesterday, sparking heated debate online. Why did they come to her at the same time? Was it anything to do with the Super Quiz?

Considering that she was familiar with Ryan and they had a good relationship, she called him after she saw the text messages.

It took awhile for Ryan to get on the phone. His voice sounded excited, "You're finally on the phone, Miss Green. I just fell asleep … Where are you? I'll go to you now."

"I'm in the airplane now. I haven't gone back. Are you in a hurry to see me?"

"Yeah. I messaged you for something. Our company … the company's partner is a sponsor of Super Quiz, called Aphrodite. Have you heard of it?"

"Of course."

"Here is the thing. Our company has important cooperation with Aphrodite. Yesterday, I saw the list of participants sent by the program group, and your name was on it. So, Aphrodite is going to let you wear their clothes on the show… Of course, you'll be paid. I'll deal with this matter. If there's no problem, let's sign a simple contract."

Sophia had understood from his words that the two companies were both sponsors of the Super Quiz and women's wear brands, so there must be a competition between them. It was normal for women's wear brands to find female contestants to promote their brands. She was a contestant. The two companies must be looking for her for the same purpose.

For fear that the other party would take the lead, both companies contacted her for the first time. They just didn't expect her to turn off the phone and go to bed early. They couldn't get in touch with her for a moment and had to text her.

Wearing the clothes of the brand on the show was not a big deal for Sophia. Among the two companies, the head of Aphrodite, Ryan, was her friend, and she would naturally choose Aphrodite.

Just to be on the safe side, Sophia asked something specific, "what kind of clothes are you going to let me wear?"
