My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1242

On December 29, Sophia said she had something to do after dinner, so Michael followed along.

They went to a bar in the West Valley of Bayside City and since it was already the end of December, there were very few people in the bar.

And so, Lucy and Sophia sat in the corner of the bar, chatting.

“Happy New Year!”

Putting down her glass, Sophia smiled and said, “I have to thank you for coming to this fashion week, otherwise I would’ve been in deep trouble.”

She originally intended to cooperate with the Ronney Group and had even negotiated with Callum about this. Pourl was going to Ronney Fashion Week but to Sophia’s dismay, Anna wanted her to deal with the trash.

Sophia was just a small fry in the fashion industry so she was under a lot of pressure when she was suddenly confronted by a giant corporation like the Ronneys. It was fine if she just continued to work in Bayside City but it would be bad if she wanted to go international in the future.

She just wanted to do her business well but the other party kept pressuring her, so she had no choice but to fight back.

Fortunately, Lucy came and saved her from the situation, so she could concentrate on making money.

She was a little grateful that she didn’t threaten Lucy with her little secret at the time.

Lucy inhaled a mouthful of the lady’s electronic cigarette and said, “I just took on this task temporarily. I’m just responsible for handling this event well. After the fashion week is over, I will naturally withdraw from the company.”

She puffed out a swirl of smoke and continued, “After I withdraw, you will have to rely on yourself in the future.”

Lucy just wanted to complete the task. She only chose to cooperate with Sophia as she knew that Sophia would make trouble if she did not, and that it would affect her ability to complete the task. Still, Sophia was very grateful to Lucy so she murmured, “In that case, I hope our fashion week will be a complete success. Aren’t you glad that I asked you to get involved in this profitable event?”

Lucy smiled reluctantly.

Lucy and Sophia were not friends, but they were not enemies either—they were competitors. There was competition between King and Pourl and they had competed to be the agent of the Dragon Eye in Cethos. They had fought many times, both taking turns winning and losing. However, Lucy didn’t really hate Sophia either.

That was because every time she lost to Sophia, she would summarize and deduce that, in fact, most of the failures were caused by herself and had nothing to do with the strength of her opponent.

Moreover, they miraculously had a common topic of conversation.

“I am envious of you—you have a perfect family.” Lucy looked at Sophia, sincerely envious of her.

Sophia had a loving father, brother and lover, as well as an adorable daughter and a group of like-minded friends.

Comparatively, Lucy felt that she had nothing.

Fate has me suffocated.

Sophia laughed self-deprecatingly. “In fact, the person I admire most is you. You have your own business and have taken the entire Edwards Family down at a young age. Back then, you used to be my role model!”

Sophia had flipped through her previous work diary and she saw that her goal was to become as powerful as Lucy. Sophia wanted to own hundreds of billions of assets, as well as to become a domineering and powerful female president!

The two smiled at each other tacitly.

Sometimes, what you don’t take notice of is what others are chasing after for their lifetime!

Meanwhile, two cars were parked at the entrance of the bar.

A battered looking Dana was wearing low-key black cold-proof clothes. Even if her mouth was swollen after being beaten up, she still smoked a cigarette fiercely and puffed out a swirl of smoke under the dim yellow street lamp.

Michael, who was in the other car, was huddled around the heater while he looked at Dana from time to time.

Dana and Lucy?

Both of them have totally different styles. How did they get together?

Plus, they have been together for more than ten years?

Lucy was also Michael’s ex-girlfriend. Come to think of it, he was truly speechless in his own taste in women.
