Chapter 11 - 011: Be My Boyfriend
Sophie Wilson had just placed her bag down at her spot when Lucy Wells hurriedly dragged her into the stairwell, anxiously asking, "Sophie, how about I let my boyfriend’s buddy pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"Lucy, you’re getting bold now," Sophie Wilson burst into laughter. Besides having Eva as a "good friend," she also had Lucy Wells as a good buddy in the company.
Lucy Wells was not only quiet but also timid and introverted, somewhat weak when it came to arguing, unlike Eva, who was outspoken.
Sophie Wilson really hadn’t expected Lucy Wells to come up with such a bold suggestion.
Lucy Wells stamped her foot in urgency. "Oh, come on, it’s this time already. If you don’t have a boyfriend to pick you up after work, who knows how rumors will spread about you in the company later. Words can be daunting!"
Lucy Wells was also a bit unfortunate. Her mother had her out of wedlock, something sensational back in the eighties.
It’s safe to say that Lucy Wells and her mother deeply understood the meaning of the phrase "words can be daunting."
Sophie Wilson knew Lucy Wells was looking out for her, afraid she’d be gossiped about.
"Lucy, I really do have a boyfriend." Sophie Wilson held her hand, smiling, "Just hadn’t agreed to be with him before, so I didn’t tell you."
"Really?" Lucy Wells didn’t mind at all that her good friend hid this from her; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, "That’s good, that’s good."
"Hurry up and call your boyfriend, I won’t hold you up," Lucy Wells said considerately before leaving Sophie Wilson some space.
Sophie Wilson smiled, realizing she’d been tricked by Eva, but at least she still had Lucy Wells as a good friend.
