After all, she had him standing by her side while facing the media, driving her home, and even taking her to parties… What’s more, he had even been treating her better, though that was probably simply out of gratitude… Even so, that was enough for her to be happy. The fact that he had even been seeing Xavia less made her feel as though their relationship would indefinitely remain this way…
Yet at this very moment, she realized that she had simply been fooling herself. He had already found his true love, and she was simply a burden to him…
Once she was sure she had suppressed her emotions, she was prompted to add, “…You know, why don’t you stay at the hospital with Miss Lockhart tonight instead? After all, you two barely meet as it is… I can just drive your car back…”
“There’s no need for that,” replied Zivon in a calm tone as he revved the engine up and began driving off…
Though he really wanted to stay, he knew better than to do so based on her current emotions. He was also worried that he’d be unable to contain himself and end up devouring her... Shaking the thought off, Zivon was prompted to say, “Since there isn’t anything that involves us tomorrow, you don’t need to come to the Burton Group. Just take some time off for yourself.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia’s eyes instantly widened as she replied, “I… Ocean Express called about ten minutes ago, and I’ve already agreed to meet them… That aside, it’s my mother’s birthday tomorrow, and she really hopes that you’d attend her party… Since I didn’t want the paparazzi to have a field day, I promised her that you’d come along…”
“…Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” said Zivon in a slightly strict tone. He, for one, always preferred when things were arranged beforehand. It was the only reason why he had promised Xavia that he’d accompany her tomorrow.
For the most part, Sophia preferred having an early schedule as well, but due to how she had perceived their recent relationship, she had unfortunately overlooked that… In the end, all she could do was reply, “…I’m sorry for not notifying you earlier… If you’re busy, I can handle it…”
“That’s easier said than done… I’ll go, but make sure to tell me earlier next time something like this comes up,” muttered Zivon as he drove Sophia home… and after she was dropped off, he returned to his private mansion.
