The Reckoning of Love ( Sophia Yancey )
The Reckoning of Love Chapter 39

Chapter 39 A Tempting Offer

Unlike the overbearing male protagonists of many romance novels, Joseph didn’t have a tragic life. His parents were alive and well and still quite in love, while he was the golden boy, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and growing up pampered and spoiled. Having been with him for five years, Sophia was used to his indifference and condescension, as well as his ruthless decisiveness and callousness in the business world. Nothing could tie him down-except Hannah.

Strictly speaking, however, she didn’t think Hannah could tie him down either. Hannah had dumped him and married into royalty after his car accident back then, but instead of getting her back, he found a substitute to alleviate his addiction.

Sophia had seen various sides of this man, but his bad behavior right now was like nothing she had ever seen before. She turned around; his shirt was slightly creased from sleep, and his good-looking face had a kind of smugness written all over it that was alien to her as he looked at her. “Are you being possessed?” she asked seriously.

Joseph’s face froze for a moment before darkening at once. “What did you say to him about me?” he asked. That brat raised his fist at me right off the bat, saying that I forced myself on her!

“Nothing!” replied Sophia before she went to the bedroom and picked up the phone.

Her phone was on airplane mode; she didn’t have to ask to know whose doing this was. She turned off airplane mode. Then, after pondering for a moment, she decided to send Howard a text message. Howard, I’m sorry about what happened today. I hope you’re not injured. You go back first; I’ll apologize to you when I’m finished.

Howard didn’t reply to her text message, though. Honestly, Joseph was very good at messing with people’s minds. I guess I’ve lost him as a friend, thought Sophia with an inward sigh.

Let’s talk.” Joseph came in and sat down on the couch across from her.

Sophia looked at him. “About what?”

“You’re very capable at work,” Joseph explained in a serious manner. “Shell Capital’s going to launch an energy project and will set up a new energy company for this purpose. I’d like to entrust you with it.”

Sophia was stunned. “What are you saying?”

I’m saying that I want you to be the energy company’s CEO answered Joseph seriously and carefully

Sophia had to admit that this was very tempting. But of course, she understood that the more tempting this was, the higher the price she would have to pay for it “No, I’ll pass,” she refused without the slightest hesitation. Indeed, she wanted to make a success of her career, but her identity was different now. She had to run away from Joseph for her baby’s sake, or she would be in danger of losing it once he discovered its

existence

“Soph, don’t turn me down out of spite! Joseph called her by her nickname, which was rare

Seeing that the man was about to get mad again, Sophis changed her response in resignation Fine. I’ll

think about it

For how long” he asked

“Until we get back to Cleyrora’ replied Sophia to fob laps off

Joseph was satisfied with her reply, though. The CEO of an energy company was a position that many would kill for. Now that he had handed it to her on a plate, there was no way she would turn it down.

After seeing all the things Sophia had done during their time apart, he kind of understood that this little canary of his had her own ambitions, which a villa and 2.8 million wouldn’t satisfy. However, the position of CEO of an energy company was different. “Come on, have dinner with me.”

“No, I’m good, refused Sophia. “I have to work.”
