Chapter 141

Sophia was at home tucking the little ones in for a nap when she got the message.

The kiddo had just nodded off, and Susan was also around the house.

Sophia went dead silent for a bit when she saw the message, just zoning out while staring at her phone screen.

Susan took a shot in the dark, “Brandon?”

Sophia chuckled, “As if it’d be him.”

Susan glanced at it, then back to Sophia, “Honestly, I think you should totally snag this job opportunity.”

She glanced at the little girl snoozing on the bed, “Just picture Theresa punching in one day, bragging to her pals all proud-like, ‘My mom designed this – how cool is that?”

She picked up the design proposal Sophia had left on the table, flipping through it with a touch of regret, “Such a killer design getting buried would be such a waste.”

Sophia glanced at the design proposal too, but kept mum.
