Apparently, Robin didn’t seem to mind it. “Lincoln will soon be here, so he will be able to lend a hand.”
Smiling, Sophia told her, “You should open up and talk things over with Lincoln. Since you’re his girlfriend, you
should share your feelings with him. He’ll never know about them if you don’t tell him.”
With a nod, Robin answered, “Alright, I’ll discuss it with him when he comes here.”
Sophia stood up from her seat before stretching herself out cautiously. After putting in a few reminders, she left the
shop under Robin’s care. Upon stepping out of the shop, she hailed a cab, only to notice that there was another car
parked across the street when she looked out of the window after she hopped into the cab.
The window of that car was lowered, while someone from within the car was pointing a camera in her direction.
The sighting caught Sophia off guard, but she quickly stopped the driver from driving away. Retrieving her phone,
she took a photo of the car furtively before telling the driver to leave.
While on her way home, Sophia sent the photo to John. Due to the incident from last night, she didn’t believe for a
second that the presence of the cameraman was a coincidence. Someone must’ve dispatched him to take photos
of her.
John called her immediately to inquire about the situation. However, Sophia wasn’t sure what was going on, so she
could only tell him someone was taking photos of her outside of her shop. No matter who the photographer was
targeting, Sophia figured she should have someone investigate the matter, as she was feeling unsafe.

be helpful when they investigated the car owner. However, with how brazen the photographer was, Sophia figured
the plate number might be fabricated.
In the meantime, John was a little worried about Sophia considering she was alone in a cab, so he instructed that
she kept the phone call going until she arrived at home. Sophia complied with his request upon glancing at the
driver from the back seat that she was on. However, she had a hunch that things would be fine as the culprit
couldn’t possibly do anything to her in broad daylight.
Her safe arrival at home seemingly proved the driver’s innocence. Seeing that he left after Sophia had paid for her
ride, both John and her heaved a sigh of relief. John suggested he would arrange for a bodyguard to watch over her
as he was worried about her, but Sophia was resistant to the idea, as she wouldn’t be able to go for checkups in the
hospital.
In turn, she told him she wouldn’t be leaving the house during the following days. She would leave the shop under
Robin’s care, or she could close it if the arrangement didn’t work out. John agreed to her suggestion because he
figured that the enemy would be able to infiltrate them regardless as long as they were in public spaces, so staying
in the house would be the best option.
Upon entering the house, Sophia locked all the doors and windows, whereas John was busy with work, so he hung
up after cautioning her against reckless moves. Sophia lay down on bed after washing up. Drinking all the soup
Matilda brought her left her feeling bloated and drowsy, so she dozed off after flipping herself over, muttering
John’s name.
It was almost evening when she woke up. She propped herself up while taking in the view outside. Upon retrieving
her phone, she found that she had a few missed calls from John, Logan, and Matilda respectively. She checked on
all of them before giving Logan a call, who picked up almost immediately.
Before Sophia even said anything, Logan started yelling over the phone, “Sophia, what happened yesterday? Did
something happen to you? Who is it that wanted to hurt you? What kind of brute would do this to someone who is
under my protection?”
Sophia heaved a sigh before saying, “I’m alright, as nothing outrageous happened, so don’t you worry.”
Logan was absolutely pissed. “You’re at home, right? I’ll leave for your house now, and we’ll talk about this face-to-
face.” He hung up as soon as he finished his sentence. Glancing at her phone, Sophia had no intention to call either
John or Matilda, as she didn’t feel like opening up to either of them.
