Chapter 204
Their relationship was nothing more than physical entanglement.
Talking about being together was pure fantasy.
Mistress.
What an ironic word.
Yet she had still reached this point.
Standing beside him.
But they could never go back to how things were.
She thought she had prepared herself mentally.
So why did her heart still ache?
Was she still hoping for reconciliation?
She felt ridiculous.
Just as Adrian Sinclair had said.
She was only his mistress.
Since he had drawn a clear line.
She shouldn't indulge in wishful thinking.
She curled her lips in self-mockery.
Turning to look at the person beside her.
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Instead of worrying about me."
"Maybe you should focus on yourself."
"How are things with Marcus Hill?"
No matter what.
She had to sort out her chaotic emotions.
There would be no future for them.
The person suddenly questioned froze.
Stopping their probing.
Sophia Roscente pouted.
Leaning back against the bathroom counter.
She muttered, "Come on."
"This is just mutual harm!"
Even though she was an adult.
Talking about her love life still made her shy.
Anna Ross finished brushing her teeth.
Then carefully washed her face.
She spoke only after drying off. "I'm just concerned about you."
"How is that mutual harm?"
Looking at her annoyed expression.
Anna really wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks.
"By the way."
"Didn't your cousin ask you to tell your mother about returning home?"
"You should find a chance to tell her yourself."
"Before he snitches on you."
Hearing this.
Sophia became even more discouraged.
Waving her hand dejectedly. "I know."
"I just haven't figured out how to bring it up."
The thought of her mother's stern expression made her shiver.
She hugged herself tightly.
Anna smiled.
Tidied up the bathroom counter and prepared to change clothes.
Sophia's phone suddenly rang.
Anna glanced over.
Sophia nearly jumped.
Her expression one of impending doom.
Pointing at the phone, she exclaimed, "It's my mom!"
"Oh no, oh no."
"My cousin must have told her."
She threw the phone aside.
Not wanting to answer.
Anna shook her head.
Picked up the incessantly ringing phone and handed it back.
Comforting her, "Don't worry too much."
"Maybe she just wants to check in."
Sophia hesitated while looking at the phone in her palm.
Encouraged, she finally found the courage to answer. "Hello, Mom......"
Anna tactfully left.
Giving them space for their conversation.
After a quick tidy-up, she prepared for work.
Passing Sophia's room, she noticed she was still on the phone.
After a moment's thought, she decided not to disturb.
Thinking about the unresolved trouble at the company weighed heavily on her.
The security footage hadn't shown a clear face last time.
The person had deliberately avoided the cameras.
It seemed she needed another approach.
She had just arrived at her workstation when she received notice.
The project was temporarily suspended.
The incident seemed to have significant impact.
She sighed and sat down.
Then she saw Chloe Valentine walking toward the office with a girl, laughing and talking.
