Chapter 173
Gordon slightly raised his hand, and the mald beside him promptly cleared the full plate in front of Sophie, replacing it with a clean one “Ms. Sophie, please make yourself at honie.”
Gordon took his seat at the head of the table
Sophie felt a bit restrained, and the maid beside her began to serve her food.
With Gordon present, the atmosphere suddenly turned tense, and even Harold kept silent.
Sophie fell like she was on pins and needles throughout the meal. How could someone make dining such a serious affair?

Sophie nodded her head. “Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gordon.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Sophie. She won’t get lost
Gordon didn’t respond, and his bodyguard wheeled him towards the elevator that led upstairs.

“My brother is a very gentle person. You don’t need to be so afraid.”

Sophie put down her fork. She glanced at the antique clock on the wall. In ten hours, the masquerade ball would begin.
While walking in the garden, Sophie casually mentioned, “Did you receive a badge yesterday?”
“What badge?” Harold frowned, “I haven’t heard of it.”
Sophie pondered to herself. If Harold didn’t know, then the badge must be with Gordon now
