At the start, Sophia had assumed that he liked her due to her unique personality and pureness… However, after hearing Jenna badmouth Xavia so much, she was starting to wonder whether that was truly the case…
If Xavia really was as pretentious as Jenna claimed, then that’d be absolutely horrifying… After all, that would imply that she was so good at acting that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see through her at all!
…No. She couldn’t be influenced by Jenna. If she wanted to be Xavia’s rival, she’d do so righteously! With that in mind, she took a deep breath before saying, “Looking fine as ever, Young Master Burton.”
Upon hearing that, he turned to look at her before indifferently saying, “You flatter me. That aside, is there anything I can help you with?”
Ever since that event, Zivon had treated her more and more like a stranger, to the point that she was only expected to meet him if there were important matters to discuss. Though she was hurt by this, she calmed herself as she replied, “…Well… It’s been about a month and a half since we started this fake date… I think it’s enough to fulfill Lady Burton’s dying wish… With that said, I think we should start thinking of an appropriate time to end our relationship.”
Sophia already understood the undeniable truth of the situation, and she didn’t want herself to sink any further… If that were to happen, then she’d surely turn into the kind of person she hated most…
Zivon, for one, hadn’t expected Sophia to initiate the topic, so he was prompted to ask, “What prompted this decision?”
She could tell that he was only asking out of curiosity, not concern. After all, the sooner she left, the better, right…? After clenching her fists, she eventually replied, “The idea just came to me. After all, we simply weren’t destined to be together…”
Despite how disheartened she sounded, Zivon retained his poker face as he said, “Glad you understand that. That aside, the day after tomorrow will be Wade’s birthday. Think of a reason to initiate the announcement by then.”
