21. Being intimate in public

As soon as Emily finished speaking, the crowd fell silent for a moment before they started talking again.

"Damn! What did I just hear? She has seduced Mr. Carter?"

"Didn't I tell you that she looked like a tramp?"

"You're missing the point. How can she be wearing Mr. Carter's suit jacket?"

"She probably stole it!"

Sophia's colleagues fixed their burning gazes on her as if they were going to incinerate her.

With a frown, she asked, "Miss Emily, are you sure that you want to make this into such a big deal?"

"Don't threaten me. Did you forget how lofty you were back then? I asked you to be with Mr. Ace, and you refused. Now, you're selling yourself to a wealthier man..." Emily did not believe her words at all.

Sophia smiled and said in a sharp tone, "Speaking of selling oneself, I don't think I am as experienced as you in that matter, Miss Emily. I am sure that you must be really exhausted after getting so many projects."
