Chapter 147
By the time Sophia fully snapped back to reality, she was already sitting in the HR office.
Two employment contracts were laid out in front of her, both already signed by her hand.
Brandon was standing right beside her, handing one copy of the contract to her while tucking away the other.
Sophia glanced hesitantly at the contract now in front of her, then back at Brandon.
“Welcome to Star Dempsey Architects,” Brandon said, looking at her, his demeanor back to its usual cool composure.
Sophia managed a tight-lipped smile. “Thanks.”
She took the weighty contract with a bit of hesitation, still feeling like she was in a dreamy daze.
Her mind was all muddled.
Brandon’s cell phone chose that moment to ring.
It was Kent on the line. [Mr. Crawley, do we need to introduce the new Design Director to the guests? Don’s struggling to keep up on stage.]
He was still at the event diligently blocking the door, clueless about what was going down with Brandon and Sophia.
Don on stage was also doing his best to keep the show running, equally in the dark about the current situation with Brandon and Sophia.
Was Sophia’s new role as the Design Director set in stone? Would she be coming back? Should he take the chance during the design team introduction to officially announce Sophia?
His head was swimming with question marks, but with Brandon having already ditched the scene, he couldn’t just bail like Brandon and had to stay on stage, trying to signal Kent with desperate eye gestures to call Brandon.
Luckily, Kent was on the same wavelength and caught on to Don’s predicament straight away.
Brandon didn’t give Kent a straight answer but instead turned to Sophia. “Don is up there introducing the company’s design team right now. Wanna make an appearance?”
Sophia glanced subconsciously towards the reception hall.
“Do I have to?” Sophia was still a bit spaced out, the contract signing had happened so fast, she couldn’t even remember when exactly she had signed it.
“I’m not some big-name designer, nor do I have any standout pieces to show off. My experience and age don’t carry much weight either. If I go out there now, I might just lower everyone’s expectations of the company.”
She looked at Brandon and added, “Maybe we should keep it under wraps for now, and let my work do the talking later on.”
