The following morning, everyone was set to shoot a commercial. Sophie was supposed to be there with a group of other models. However, the photographer felt Sophie's presence was so captivating that having too many people around would only highlight her even more.
In the end, only one male model was left to work with her.
Early that morning, Lisa knocked on Sophie's door. When Sophie opened it, she seemed to be hiding something and didn't let Lisa in.
Lisa immediately looked at Sophie and asked, "Is there someone else in there with you?"
"I..."
"Sophie, how could you do this? Even though you broke up with that jerk, you just got married to Noah! How could you be fooling around already? Let me in... Let me see who dares to charm my dear Sophie!" Lisa was quite agitated and seemed ready to push open the door.
Just then, Noah stepped in, his tall and muscular frame blocking the doorway.
"Boss, it's you!" Lisa exclaimed, suddenly embarrassed.
Noah gave Lisa a brief glance that seemed to say he appreciated her concern. With her around, he felt confident that no other man would get near Sophie.
Without saying anything, he headed back to the bathroom to shower.
After he left, Lisa leaned her head on Sophie's shoulder and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me embarrass myself in front of someone so important."
"I just found out last night when I got back to the room," Sophie replied with an innocent shrug.
"Oh, wow! He's so romantic. Someone as busy as Noah actually took a direct flight to be here with you. Sophie, your luck has really turned around. Think about all those years you spent with that jerk. Did he ever visit you at work?" Lisa beamed.
"Exactly, people can be so different."
"Are we still heading to the shoot?" Sophie asked, though she acted casual about it.
"Is Noah coming too?"
"He should be," Sophie whispered.
Noah had traveled all this way, and there was no way he would miss Sophie's performance. The show at Brooklyn City Center had already been memorable, and he was eager to see how Sophie would shine in an outdoor setting.
