Chapitre 40: The Future Leader of the Harper Group
Amelia asked with a soft voice, smiling warmly and confidently.
"It was great."
Ethan stared at her and his eyes were full of admiration for her. He then became calm and drank out his wine. Amelia drank out hers too.
People here were all accustomed to social occasions. They could see that Ethan and Amelia had known each other for a long time and they had many topics to talk about.
They seemed like a couple from the appearance or the temperament.
Charles looked at Amelia drinking up her wine and felt more relieved because Amelia would never drink. He knew that Amelia would not form that habit in his family.
Amelia tried to ignore Bella and Charles. She looked away from them if their eyes met. It seemed that they were strangers to her.
"Dad, how about I talk to that director?"
"You?"
Charles hesitated, but Bella had taken her glass and was coming up to Amelia.
"Hi, Mr. Frost. Ms. Sophia, welcome back."
Bella smiled and took out her hand to greet Sophia. Bella got red nails with tiny diamonds on them.
Ethan felt the atmosphere grow tense.
"She nearly killed Amelia. How could Amelia stay calm?" he thought.
But Amelia was still smiling and she shook hands with Bella. Then she looked at Ethan and asked gently, "Is she also one of the top executives in our company?"
Bella smiled and introduced herself to Amelia,
"I guess you have not known me yet. I'm not a manager in the Grand Group. I'm the future leader of the Harper Group."
"The future leader of the Harper Group?"
"Well, she's the only daughter of Charles now," Amelia thought.
Amelia smiled and looked at her surprisingly, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Harper. I hope we can collaborate well in the future."
Ethan looked at Bella coldly and felt sorry for Amelia.
He knew that although she acted normally, her heart must have been broken.
"Ms. Harper, Sophia, and I have something to discuss. So, please..."
"Well. See you next time."
Bella drank up her wine and smiled at Amelia, waiting for her to drink hers.
Actually, Ethan had asked Hodgkin, the housekeeper of the Chinchol Manor, to prepare a bottle of non-alcoholic juice. Now, she was drinking it.
Amelia held her glass and drank out.
"Amelia couldn't drink them up. It seems that Sophia is good at drinking," Bella thought.
"It's common that people looked like each other. She is Sophia, the new director just came back from studying abroad."
Bella smiled with pride and then left.
"A director? An orphan indeed. I have the Harper Group. You can only live with the help of others," Bella thought.
Amelia was relieved when Bella left. She could even hear her own heartbeat.
"I have to use the bathroom."
"Yeah."
Ethan realized that her face was pale. He was worried about Amelia, so he followed her and waited for her outside the bathroom.
The party was over and everyone left.
Ethan and Amelia went back to their villa.
They were relieved and felt that what happened today was like a play.
"Do you feel alright?"
Ethan made a cup of tea for Amelia and then sat down beside her. He found that she was tired, so he stroked her face.
"I'm okay, but I feel nervous. When I talked with Bella, I almost exposed."
"Why? I think it was good."
Ethan smiled and put his hand on her shoulder. He looked at her gently because he knew that she needed comfort.
"You didn't know that I was a little trembled at that time. Luckily, you were there and I clenched your clothes."
Amelia remembered that when she hid her hand in the back of Ethan and clenched his clothes, she felt calm and was full of confidence.
"It needs time. Remember, you are Sophia, the director of the Grand Group from now on."
Ethan looked at her and felt a complicated feeling for her.
But what was it? It was hard to interpret.
"I'll take a shower."
Amelia stood up and went to the bathroom. Ethan was relieved when she closed the door, and then he went to the study.
Bella and Charles went back home. Delilah started to ask questions about the new director.
"What kind of person she is? Does she deserve a party?"
"Yes, she does. She's smart and charming,"
Charles replied and watched his teacup for a few seconds. Then he drank it.
Delilah glanced at Charles and smiled coldly, "You have no chance. The CEO liked her."
Charles put down the teacup and looked at Delilah. He sighed deeply and looked at Bella beside her.
Delilah also looked at Bella.
"You also think that she was not simple?"
"She's an orphan, but she was financed by the Frost family. She studied abroad with Ethan for three years."
Bella looked at Charles and Delilah and asked, "Do you think who is more likely to be Mrs. Frost?"
"They seem to be very close now. But you still have a chance. They just work together and have not developed into a relationship. You have to take time."
Bella nodded and thought, "Sophia has nothing but only a pretty face. She could never be Mrs. Frost."
She looked at her beautiful nails which had been praised by Ethan and thought that she would win his heart one day.
Amelia walked out of the bathroom and did not find Ethan. She felt too tired today, so she lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
When Ethan came to the bedroom, she was already in her dream.
Ethan stared at her pretty face and couldn't help stroking her.
"What is it?"
Amelia said in a soft voice, but soon she continued to be in her dream again.
