Chapter 338 Do You Know Him?
Rylan said, "I just want to hang a painting. Doesn't Ms. Price want to do business with me?"
Sophia clenched her fists tightly.
Couldn't he tell whether she wanted to do business with him or not?
Rylan looked at Sophia leisurely.
He seemed to enjoy seeing Sophia angry but not daring to resist.
Sophia said, "You're overthinking it. I'm in business to make money; how could I not want to do business?"
"Since you want to order a painting, let's discuss the details."
Rylan began to discuss seriously with Sophia.
By the time they finished, two hours had passed.
Sophia closed her notebook and asked, "Mr. Reed, when is the earliest you need the painting?"
"We have quite a few orders on hand right now. We can only try to fit your order in without affecting the progress of other orders, but it might take a bit longer."
Rylan said, "No rush, I won't need it for at least three months."
Sophia nodded, "That can be done."
"Mr. Reed, you can go home and wait after paying the deposit. I'll contact you once the painting is finished."
"This painting costs 200,000 dollars with a 100,000 dollars deposit."
"Here's the bank account number."
Sophia took out a piece of paper with the bank account number written on it and pushed it to Rylan.
Rylan directly paid $200,000.
Sophia stood up and said, "Mr. Reed, please feel free to sit for a while longer. I have to get back to work."
She walked to the front desk, where Nora was typing on the computer.
Seeing Sophia approach, she looked up and said, "I posted an ad online yesterday to hire a housekeeper. Today, several housekeeping companies contacted me. I chose one with the best reputation and asked for a list of their top housekeepers."
"I think this Isla is good. She's been in the housekeeping industry for twenty years without a single negative review. What do you think?"
Sophia smiled, "I trust your judgment."
Nora said, "Alright, I'll tell the boss to hire her and have her come over tomorrow for a trial. If she's suitable, she can stay and take care of you."
Sophia was touched, "Thank you. You're the best to me. If I were a man, I'd definitely compete with Isaac for you."
Nora laughed out loud.
Rylan's deep eyes wandered back and forth between Sophia and Nora.
He thought Sophia's gaze at Nora was a bit unusual.
Could it be that she...
Rylan glanced at Nora a few more times, then withdrew his gaze indifferently and got up to leave.
Sophia politely escorted him to the door.
After seeing Rylan get into his car and leave, she walked back into the store.
Nora's smile faded, and she frowned slightly, "Why do I feel like that Mr. Reed looks familiar? His name sounds familiar too?"
Sophia said, "Rylan Reed, the CEO of DK Entertainment Inc. He often appears in the gossip news. You probably saw his name online."
Nora said, "Yes, Rylan, I remember now."
"He's quite handsome, but looks a bit hard to get along with."
Sophia teased, "With someone as good-looking as Isaac by your side, you find others handsome? Can anyone be more handsome than Isaac?"
Nora gave her a playful glare, "Stop teasing me."
Sophia said, "I'm just telling the truth."
Nora changed the subject, "Do you know Rylan? I feel like you two know each other. And it seems like your relationship isn't very good. Did you offend him, or did he offend you?"
Sophia's heart skipped a beat.
Nora's observation skills were really sharp. She had been trying hard to hide it, but Nora still noticed something.
Sophia quickly adjusted her emotions and smiled, "Our statuses are worlds apart. How could I possibly know him? You must be mistaken."
Nora touched her head, "Really? You seemed very uneasy in front of him."
Sophia said, "Didn't you just say he looks hard to get along with? I find him hard to get along with, so I was uneasy. I'm even more uneasy in front of Isaac, and you've seen that."
Nora fell silent.
The first time she introduced Isaac to Sophia, Sophia was so scared that she stuttered.
Isaac's aura and presence were indeed intimidating.
At that time, she wanted to invite Sophia to dinner with them, but Sophia made many excuses and left, not daring to stay with Isaac.
Over time, Sophia became less afraid of Isaac, but she was still somewhat reserved around him.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. It's getting late. I need to go pick up the kids from school. You're pregnant now, so don't stay open too late. Go home early." Nora stood up and hugged Sophia.
Sophia greedily hugged Nora. She smelled so good and felt so soft, with a comforting magic.
She wished she could hold her forever.
After leaving the art studio, Nora went straight to the kindergarten to pick up Magnus and Soren.
School was already out, and Nora picked them up from their teacher.
Soren held her hand, excitedly talking about the fun things that happened at school today.
Magnus, though silent, followed obediently and occasionally added a few words.
Nora felt very gratified.
Magnus had really improved a lot.
Since Isaac was back from his business trip, Nora wanted to go home early to see him.
After getting the kids in the car, she drove straight home.
Halfway there, Magnus suddenly said, "Mommy, this isn't the way to Mortimer's house. You're going the wrong way."
For the past half month, Nora had taken them to Mortimer's house every day after school. Magnus was very familiar with the route.
So, he knew at a glance that this wasn't the way to Mortimer's house.
Nora explained, "We're not going to Mortimer's house today. Isaac is back, so we're going home to have dinner with Uncle Luke. We'll go to Mortimer's house tomorrow."
Isaac hadn't appeared in front of the kids last night, so they didn't know he was back.
"Daddy's back? I haven't seen Daddy in so long. I miss him so much. Mommy, drive faster. I want to see Daddy soon!"
Soren was very excited.
A light flashed in Magnus's eyes.
But it quickly faded.
He frowned and said unhappily, "Mommy, you promised me we could go to Mortimer's house for dinner every day after school. You're breaking your promise!"
Nora quickly said, "Just for today. I'll take you there tomorrow, okay?"
Magnus said angrily, "No, I want to go today too!"
Soren asked, "Magnus, don't you want to see Daddy? We haven't seen him in two weeks."
