Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 135

Zach locked the car at once for her safety and started the car again. He blamed, “Come on! We are on the road! It’s so dangerous to get off here!”

“Then why do you stop in the middle of the road?” Sophia retorted.

Zach was wordless. He chose to keep silent and Sophia kept saying in an angry tone, “Why don’t you let me go? What do you want from me?”

Zach didn’t know how to answer. Just a moment ago, he stopped the car because he saw her crying beside the road. She looked so miserable and poor. Then he pulled her into his car. And now, he didn’t know why he would do that and what he should do now.

“Hey!”

“Be polite to me. I have my name!” Then Zach told her his name. But the next second, he heard her belly was singing in hunger. He looked at Sophia, “Haven’t you eaten anything? Are you hungry?”

Sophia was so embarrassed. She was working all the day and had no time to have lunch. She didn’t eat anything, except the drink from Elena.

He took her silence as a “Yes”. So he drove her to the restaurant that they just passed by.

Sophia refused to have a meal with Zach, but he said, “It’s on me. As a compensation. I am so sorry for hitting you last time.”

Sophia looked at him with suspicion. Seemingly she didn’t believe in his kindness towards her. ‘He must want to do something bad to me.’ She thought.

“Come on! Don’t look at me like that! I promise that I have no interest in you! So take it easy. Just enjoy the meal. You know, it’s just a compensation!” Zach explained and reassured her, pulling her into the restaurant.

Now it was not the lunch time. So there were few customers in the restaurant. Sophia picked a table next to the window and took a seat without hesitation. And then she ordered much food than she could eat up.

Zach’s mouth twitched slightly, showing his shock and disbelief. “Wow, it’s incredible that you can eat all of it.”

“It’s on you, isn’t it? Why can’t I eat?” Sophia snorted. She was so hungry that she started to eat heartily when the food was served.

“Look at you. How long haven’t you had a meal? You looked like a refugee!”

“Leave me alone and shut up!”

Zach raised both of his hands up to show surrender, and didn’t say a word to her anymore.

His phone was ringing. He took a look. Well, it was his dear mother, Mrs. Stone.

“Zach, you promised to bring your girlfriend home, if my memory is correct. I’ve waited for a few days, but you never show me your girl! Can you tell me what happened?” Mrs. Stone said worriedly.

Zach felt awkward, “Come on, mother, it’s only a few days!”

“It’s you who promised me to bring her home, isn’t it? Look at you. You are old enough to get married! And look at Logan, he listened to his family and married so soon and now, he is living a happy life! His wife may be pregnant now!”

Pregnant?

Come on. Impossible! He got too many enemies always thinking how to knock him down. And Elena was even drugged. Though they might have a baby one day, absolutely not now!

“You can hear me clearly, right? Don’t play dumb! Now I am telling you, if you don’t bring her home tomorrow, you will lose me. Am I clear?” Mrs. Stone gave him a threat.

Zach was staring at Sophia and suddenly knew what to do.

“Yes, Madam! Now I will book a ticket! Don’t worry!”

Mrs. Stone was satisfied with his answer, “Good boy!”

“…”

Just a moment later, he found that Sophia had eaten up the food she ordered. “Wow…You…you can eat a lot.”

Sophia was embarrassed, “Any question about that? It is not enough for me!”

He rubbed his aching temples, worrying that it might be difficult for her to support herself.

Looking at her happy face after she ate delicious food, he asked her a leading question, “You don’t have a job now, right?”

She nodded without hesitation.

Getting her answer, he made a plan quickly, adding, “Then I can offer you a job. Will you accept it?”

She was hesitating and frowning.

Then he showed a bait that no one could resist, “Ten thousand dollars for a day. And you only have to work for a day! After that, I don’t owe you and you don’t owe me; we’re even!”

“Ahh!” Sophia retreated, looking at him as a freak, “I know you won’t be that kind to me! Now you showed your intention! You must want to do something bad to me!”

“That’s not what I mean!”

“Do you think I am silly? Ten thousand dollars for a day? Come on! I won’t believe you! You liar! Fraud! I won’t earn easy money! Dream it!” She yelled, standing up with her bag and camera.

Zach didn’t know how to explain. He pulled her arm and tried to stopped her, “Listen. I just hire you to be my fake girlfriend!”

“What?” She was shocked by his idea.

Then he made her sit and explained, “Well, my mother pushes me to bring a girlfriend home. She called me just now and told me that I would be in trouble if I didn’t bring one home. How can I refuse her?”

“You don’t have a girlfriend? Save it! How can it be?” She didn’t believe him. In her opinion, he was a good player in love. He must have tons of so-called girlfriends!

Zach felt embarrassed. And thinking of Anna, he felt upset. He didn’t know why he chose not to tell them about Anna.

She observed him for a while. And an idea occurred to her. She said in a low voice, “I know. There’s something wrong with your body, right? I understand! It’s normal! Don’t worry!”

Zach was irritated by her presumption. He was healthy. He even seldom caught a cold!

But for comforting his mother, he couldn’t say any word against her but just to bear it! He clenched his teeth and his fists, “So tell me if you will do the job or not! Your tickets and meals are all on me. And you can get 10,000 dollars!”

“Yes, yes! I will do it!” Sophia answered in a hurry. Come on, it was 10,000 dollars! How could she refuse it!

Zach felt somewhat relieved but then he heard her warning, “But remember I won’t do anything strange or illegal!”

“Don’t worry!” He was trembling in anger, “I said I preferred sexy lady! I am not interested in you at all!”

Sophia squeezed her bag and gave him a contemptuous look. Charlie said this, too. Men were all the same, judging a female by her appearance. Shallow!

***

That night, Sophia called Elena, telling her that she had resigned. Elena was a bit surprised, “You resigned?”

“Yes.” Sophia nodded. She told a lie. She didn’t want to tell Elena that actually she was fired. Thinking of the job Zach offered her today, she felt somewhat happy, “But I got a new job! A hired girlfriend!”

Elena didn’t know what it was, “What’s the job mainly about?”

“Well, I am hired to be a fake girlfriend. What I need to do is meet the boy’s family. It’s an easy job!”

Elena raised her brow, showing her concern, “Call me anytime. Take good care of yourself.”

“I will!” Sophia agreed happily. After hanging up the call, she grumbled, “I guess he is not a bad person. Just a little immature.”

But then she was shocked by this idea. She tried to stop thinking about him and was determined to take a good sleep.
