Benson looked at Sunny, and then at Corinne to check her reaction. He was worried that Sophia was Corinne’s friend and that
he would offend her if he did not let her in.
Even though Lucas did not explain who Corinne was, all the servants could guess who she really was. Thus, they could not
afford to cross her.
However, Corinne did not look like she was interested in Sophia’s arrival at all. Instead, she continued to eat her lunch
nonchalantly.
‘Seems like the guest isn’t welcome here at all. That means it’s safe to ask her to leave,’ thought Benson.
“Yes, Mister Sunny. I’ll do that right away,” he said before turning to leave.
A few minutes later, he came back and reported, “Miss Corinne, Mister Sunny. I’ve already relayed your message to Miss
Sophia, but she insisted she won’t leave until she gets to meet Miss Corinne. She even said she has something very important to
tell her.”
Corinne looked up and was about to say something when Sunny stood up impatiently. “Something very important, huh? Well,
she can tell me! I’ll deal with her myself.”
After that, he swaggered out of the dining room.
Seeing this, Corinne said nothing and continued to eat her lunch. She was actually relieved that Sunny volunteered to send
Sophia away since she did not want to see Sophia.
...
Sunny came to the mansion gate and saw Sophia standing outside with a gift bag in her hand.
‘Does she think she can bribe her way in with gifts?’ thought Sunny. He crossed his arms and said rudely, “Hey, what are you
doing here?”
Sophia was disappointed to see that it was him who had come, but she forced herself to smile. “Oh, Mister Sunny, you’re home
as well! I heard Corinne was staying at your house, so I came to visit her.”
“She is staying at our house, and she lacks nothing. You don’t need to get her anything!”
“Does she not want to see me?” asked Sophia tearfully. “I know she doesn’t like me, but I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t
have anything important to tell her. Mister Sunny, I know you’re a fair and righteous man, so can you please let me go in to see
her?”
Sunny was instantly flustered by how pitiful she looked. He frowned and said, “Hey, why do you look like you’re about to cry? We
got surveillance cameras all over this place, so don’t think you can go around telling other people I’ve made you cry!”
Tears began to pool in Sophia’s eyes as she said hoarsely, “Mister Sunny, please let me go in to see Corinne. I beg of you! Even
a few minutes would do. I’ll leave as soon as I’ve told her the news.”
Sophia did not look like she was faking the tears, so Sunny started to waver in his resolution. “What is it that you want to tell
her?”
“It’s something between us girls, so I can’t tell you.”
Sunny frowned. ‘I guess I can let the poor girl meet Corinne for a while. I’ll just have to supervise their conversation so she won’t
dare to do anything.’
Sophia smiled smugly without Sunny noticing when she saw he was about to open the gate for her. She then thanked him
profusely and waited for the gate to open.
Suddenly, a car honked, causing Sunny to stop.
