"I was surrounded by them and couldn't leave. Could you do me a favor and get me out of here?"
She thought to herself that by making such a request, she had given Adam a very reasonable excuse to take her away. Even if Elly had any objection, he could just explain it as merely helping her out.
Elly, standing nearby, directly and unapologetically let out a snort of laughter.
It wasn't that she wanted to disrespect Sophia, it was just that Sophia also seemed to have the potential to be a comedian, her range was quite wide indeed.
Seeing Elly laugh out loud without holding back, Sophia's expression darkened, but still she maintained her pitiful look. Looking at Elly, she said in a soft voice,
"Mrs. Jones, what are you laughing at? Is it funny to see me surrounded by people?"
Her tone sounded accusatory, but coupled with her gentle expression and voice, it seemed more like she was blaming Elly.
