Chapter 208: The Female Secretary’s Wild Games (3)

“I believe in you.”

Catherine hugged Lian again. If it weren’t for her, Lian never would have become Mary’s rival.

Ultimately, all of this was for her.

Lian had given so much for her.

Catherine decided to reward Lian in the dream and, at the same time, release the longing she had been feeling for days.

She kissed him deeply, and they became entwined on the sofa.

But they had barely gotten started when another knock sounded at the door, interrupting them.

‘This is terrible. I have to revoke Yina’s Best Employee award.’

‘I absolutely cannot let Sophie see this!’

“Catherine, someone’s here.”

Seeing Lian’s nervous expression, Catherine misunderstood. She thought he needed to maintain a prudent and proper image in front of his subordinates. Understanding, she picked up her dress from where it had fallen by the sofa, slipped into Lian’s bed, and pulled the covers over herself.

Lian breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing she hadn’t hidden in the closet, or she would have run into Anna. ‘This is a truly massive Xiuluo Scene,’ he thought.

He walked to the door and opened it again.

Sophie, the silver-haired girl, stood in the doorway. A kingfisher was perched on her shoulder.

She was as beautiful and captivating as ever. Her hair seemed to have grown quite a bit, now reaching her shoulders.

“Sophie, come in.”

Sophie nodded and walked into Lian’s bedroom as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

This wasn’t the first time she had dreamed of Lian, so she didn’t find the dream particularly strange.

Witches could maintain a certain degree of lucidity in dreams, but they weren’t completely conscious either.

Take Sophie, for instance. She didn’t know if the Lian before her was a figment of her imagination or the real Lian.

With Anna still in the closet and Catherine on the bed, Lian had no choice but to behave himself and lead Sophie over to the sofa.

“Sophie, how have you been lately?”

“Fine.”

Sophie answered flatly.

“You must have heard a lot of rumors about me. They’re not true,” Lian said with a serious expression.

Sophie tilted her head. “What rumors?”

“About Yusofa. You haven’t heard?” Lian asked probingly.

Sophie shook her head. “I only heard that you got engaged and took a mistress.”

Sophie was stating facts, and Lian found he couldn’t refute a single word.

“I heard there’s a brilliant architect named An. Is he always pestering you?” Lian quickly changed the subject.

Sophie looked slightly surprised. She shook her head again. “No one pesters a Witch.”

Lian froze, realizing he’d been had.

‘Anna must have written that on purpose to make me nervous.’

In reality, no one would dare pursue a Witch. Sophie wasn’t Tauriel, after all; Tauriel was the only Witch who didn’t have to worry about losing control.

“Sophie, don’t be so sure. Am I not a person?”

Lian winked at Sophie.

“You haven’t gone for a walk with me in a long time, either,” Sophie said softly.

Lian could hear the loneliness in her voice.

It was true. He hadn’t spent any time with Sophie for a long while.

“Sophie, I will keep all the promises I made to you. After the war is over, I’ll come back to Green Shade Territory. Then, wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you. After all, we’re the best of friends.”

He added that last part for Catherine’s benefit.

“I’m the Guardian Witch of Green Shade Territory. I can’t go anywhere,” Sophie reminded him.

“Why not? If you can’t go, then I’ll build an amusement park for you. I’ll gather all the world’s scenery inside it, so you can see whatever you want, whenever you want.”

He meant every word. If Sophie wanted it, Lian would build her an amusement park. He could even bring in investors and turn it into a tourist destination.

Sophie stared, taken aback. She suddenly had a feeling that the Lian in front of her wasn’t a figment of her imagination.

“I’d also like to see you… work the forge again.”

“Of course. I’ll personally forge a weapon for you. My smithing skills have improved a lot,” Lian said happily.

Sophie smiled, too—a smile as brilliant as the warm spring sun.

KNOCK, KNOCK KNOCK—

The knocking started again. Lian looked at the door in astonishment.

‘Besides Anna, Catherine, and Sophie… who else has entered?’
