I'm good. You don’t have to.” Lorelai gave a dismissive wave at her suggestion hastily.
Anastasia didn’t insist on it as Lorelai declined. In the meantime, the food was served, so they had steered their conversation to other topics. Anastasia believed that the latter could understand her meaning, even though she had not spoken the obvious.
After finishing their lunch, they both got up to leave. Lorelai took out a suit and. showed it to her. “This is the suit Elliot wore yesterday. Do you need help to send it for dry cleaning service?” “There's no need to trouble you. | will do it myself, Anastasia said as she took the suit from Lorelai.
Once they got out of the restaurant, they parted and Anastasia pointed at a car not far away. “My car is over there. See you next time, then.” “Goodbye.” Lorelai watched Anastasia as she got in the car, where a female bodyguard was waiting in the driver's seat. The car then sped away.
When the car was out of sight, Lorelai could finally let out a sigh of relief. Anastasia was not a woman to mess with, as she insinuated her disapproval of Lorelai’s misbehavior.

Meanwhile, Sophia was doing household. chores in Arthur's villa.
She was alone in the villa. Emily had gone out shopping, while Arthur had some matters to attend to. Sophia started with organizing his study table, followed by cleaning the dust on every surface.
A familiar signature caught her eyes when she was sorting out Arthur's files on the table. The signature pressed hard to the paper, showing a hint of grace from the owner's personality, and it no doubt belonged to Arthur.
Sophia crouched under the table for a better angle to clean. Just then, someone pushed the door open and it startled her, so she hurried to stand.
Suddenly, a thump echoed in the room. As Sophia tried to stand up, she bumped her forehead into the table.
Arthur stared at her with wide eyes from the doorway. He found her holding a cleaning rag in her hand, while another hand was pressed to her forehead.
“What are you doing?” That was all he could manage to ask.
I'm cleaning the table, Sophia answered meekly.
Taking in mind her eagerness, Arthur walked toward her and took a close look at her forehead. There was a bump on the spot where she hit hard on the table..
“You should use a cold compress.” “I'm alright.” Sophia didn’t mind the pain. However, just when she was about to continue the chore, Arthur put an arm around her waist. Shocked, she quickly leaned backward, but he seized the opportunity and pressed her against the table.
“You just can’t wait to repay me?’ he teased and closed in.

He had at need to confirm his thoughts, so he simply had to taste the sweetness on her supple lips. Without further hesitation, Arthur wasted no time and went in for a kiss on her lips.
W-What? His bold actions made Sophia’s mind go blank.
Did he just kiss me again? Her lean body was soft under his touch. The feeling of their bodies pressed against each other on the table sent at tremor through Arthur's body, making him feel hot and bothered. The kiss lasted for a long time, as he did it again and again, to prove he was right.
Passion filled the study room.
With her eyes shut, Sophia responded to him eagerly. He was forceful one moment and gentle the next, and she was surprised to feel happy from his actions as if they were in love.
Finally, Arthur broke the kiss and pulled himself away. It was a cue to Sophia as she took to her heels almost immediately. However, passion lingered in the study room, like a reminder to everyone that they had just shared an intimate moment.
