Chapter 993
A few seconds of silence later, Fia responded, “It depends.”
“Depends? Depends how?” Sophia had gotten even more curious.
Fia shrugged and gave a bitter smile. “You can talk to Tiger and Silas more. They know a lot more than you. If you
ask them, they’ll tell you all about it,”
“I think I’ll pass. All Silas knows is working overtime and pampering his girlfriend. Tiger is a dull, boring man. There’s
no way he’d know more than me.” Sophia looked at her in disbelief.
“Oh, you’re quite mistaken. Tiger may look like that but he’s quite knowledgeable and intelligent.”
“Fia, are you thinking of asking Tiger to be your personal bodyguard? You best give up. Sir dislikes seeing you
getting too close to other men. This is the main reason he sent me to be by your side!” Sophia then puffed up her
chest and said, “Besides, I am not going to give up being your bodyguard without a fight!”
“No one is fighting over this post with you, Sophia. And I like you a lot too.”
Eileen was right. Sophia only listened to her willingly. This would mean that she was not just a bodyguard that
Conrad sent to keep an eye on her.
“Madam!” Sophia stared at Fia excitedly.

“Did I hear it right? You said you like me.”
“Yes, you heard it right. I like you a lot.” Fia held the girl’s face and tapped it lightly. “You have a good temper and a
lovely face. On top of that, you’re very kind-hearted. I bet everyone will like you if given the chance to get to know
you.”
“I don’t need other people to like me. I’m really glad that you like me, Madam!” Sophia said. earnestly, “I know I’m
just another one of Sir’s employees. But I’ve made up my mind to protect you with my whole being, even if it
means defying his wishes.”

Fia looked at her for a while before saying, “If you don’t follow his orders, you’ll be punished. Aren’t you scared?”
Sophia shook her head. “I’m not scared. If my carelessness caused harm to you, then I’ll gladly accept the
punishment.”
“Sophia…actually I…” Fia was feeling bad keeping it from Sophia. She had other plans for the
girl.
It was then that Eileen walked out of the bakery and waved at them warmly. “Hey! Fia! Sophia!”
“Hey, Ms. Reid!”
Seeing this, Sophia held Fia’s hand and walked toward Eileen.
Eileen quickly stepped forward and held Fla’s other hand and said to her fans, “Okay, you can
stop following me. I need to return home with my dear friend here.”
Eileen’s fans stood some distance away from them as they shouted to her warmly.
“Eileen! Come back to the entertainment scene soon!”
“We’ll always be waiting for you to come back”
“Please rest well too Don’t work too hard! If it’s too tiring, always take a break, okay?”
“Take a break?
She had, in one way or another, taken a break from stardom. No way she was going to take another break. Still,
she was happy to see that her fans were still friendly and amusing as ever.
“We’ll always support you, Eileen!”
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Please don’t fall in love, Eileen! Falling for a man will only affect you badly. You’ll not
be able to reach your full potential in stardom!”
Then, every fan began to shout together, “Yes! Men are pigs! We want you to stay away from them! So they can’t
hurt you!”

Eileen and Fia stared at them speechlessly Sophia, on the other hand, burst out in laughter and said, “Oh dear! Your
fans are so funny, Ms. Reid’
Eileen quickly brought them back to the car and said, “They’re right, you know. I should focus on my career. I will
be the prettiest star in the world! I don’t need no man in my life! They’ll only get in my way when I throw punches
to reach the top of stardom!”
Sophia whistled and said as she hurled a few punches to the air, “You mean like this? Do you like boxing too, Ms.
Reid? If you want, I can introduce some coaches for you.”
Eileen shook her head and beamed a smile at her. “I am interested but I don’t think the company will allow it.”
Fia said, “Sophia, Eileen meant pursuing a greater height in her career. Not boxing.”
“Ah, I see. My bad…I understood wrong”
“Well, you can still introduce some martial artists to coach her if she signed to star in an action movie.”
Hearing this, Eileen nodded excitedly. “Oh, yes! Even if I might not be able to become a Kung Fu master, I can still
make it work on camera if I actually know a few moves. If I can do that, I’ll get even more popular! Haha! When
that day comes, I’ll take you two on a vacation as a treat!”
