Chapter 1508: 1508. Really thinks he is the center of attention!
But she and Lily Jones had no past grudges, they hadn’t even spoken. Why would Lily want to mess with her?
Or is it because Lily has a poor relationship with Elly Campbell, so she’s intentionally using her to irritate Elly?
No matter the reason, Sophia Taylor was starting to feel uneasy.
“Oh? What is it that requires our President Jones’s help? Why not come to me instead?”
Elly Campbell smiled, but her words made Sophia’s heart tighten suddenly.
Though she couldn’t tell if Elly was angry, just raising the question could easily overthink anyone.
Facing Elly’s curious gaze, Sophia composed herself and thought for a moment before saying:
“I did go to Campbell to find you, but the receptionist said I couldn’t see you without an appointment. I was afraid you’d be too busy to be bothered, so I came to find President Jones instead.”
This knack for tattling, such a waste of talent to be a teacher.
Elly chuckled inwardly.
In one sentence, she reported the receptionist’s actions and gave a perfectly reasonable explanation for coming to Adam Jones.
But who is Elly Campbell, after all? She’s dealt with countless schemers before.
She nodded with a smile, turned to Adam Jones, and said with a half-smile:
“It seems that in other’s eyes, President Jones isn’t as busy as CEO Campbell. I let you manage Jones so you could idle away?”
Her tone was light, and though the words were accusatory, their interaction clearly had a flirtatious vibe.
Surrender Jones to Adam Jones for management?
What does that mean?
This Elly Campbell really is hilarious, does she think Jones belongs to her?
Does she really think she’s so important!
Sophia’s heart was filled with disdain for Elly, the kind of pampered child from a wealthy family. However, she dared not show even a hint of it.
She expected Adam to at least retort, but instead, he humbly admitted his fault in front of Elly, “I was wrong, darling. I’ll work harder in the future.”
“Hmm, you’re forgiven this time.”
Seeing Adam act so subservient in front of Elly left Sophia dumbfounded.
She knew Adam treated Elly well and that the couple was deeply in love, but she never imagined they interacted this way in private.
From Adam’s demeanor, he seemed to thoroughly enjoy this “female dominate, male submit” dynamic.
Sophia’s perceptions were completely overturned.
Even the average men around her, earning just a few thousand a month, exhibited a dominant air in front of their wives or girlfriends.
Yet here was the richest man in the country, speaking so humbly in front of his wife?
He must truly love Elly Campbell.
Though Sophia knew her place and dared not pursue someone like Adam, watching a powerful man indulge a woman so thoroughly still sparked jealousy in her heart.
Elly then turned her gaze toward Sophia and said, “My husband and I are going for lunch. Would you like to join us, Miss Taylor?”
Sophia’s eyes brightened at Elly’s invitation, but the next second, she saw Adam furrow his brows. Out of politeness, he didn’t openly object to his wife’s invitation, but it was clear he wasn’t keen on the sudden addition of a stranger.
The light in Sophia’s eyes quickly dimmed.
As much as she wanted to join, she didn’t dare risk displeasing Adam. Otherwise, her hopes of going to Yinghua would be dashed.
