Chapter 660 Sophia's Little Trick
The old lady's voice grew louder and louder. Staff members had known Ms. Lawson's grandmother
from the Internet. But they never expected this annoying old lady would come to their office.
Though members of the office loved to gossip about Sophia, they would not get themselves involved
this time. Therefore, after the old Mrs. Lawson and the three others entered Sophia's room, her
assistant shut the door so the noises would not be heard.
The old lady stepped forward to grab Sophia and slap her face. But Sophia was alert the moment her
grandma showed up and shunned away swiftly.
"Grandma, this is a working place!" Sophia reminded.
"That's right! You deserve to be slapped in front of your colleagues. I will teach you a lesson." The old
lady came to her again but Sophia escaped once again.
"Stop running! You need to pay for plotting your cousin! Don't be so shameless!" What the old lady said
was not so pleasing. But Sophia seemed quite at ease. She stood up and said: "Grandma, don't be so
mad. Come and take a seat and I will tell you everything."
"What for? I don't want to listen to the person who did something like this. How can you deceive your
grandma? You think now you are a grown-up so you don't need to listen to a poor old lady like me, do
you?" The old Mrs. Lawson shook with anger.
Sophia said slowly, "Grandma, I knew you would be angry. But you have to believe I am innocent. I will
explain everything to you."
"You are innocent? You want to explain? Cathy just came to your company and before long something
went wrong with her first client. Don't tell me this is a coincidence."
The old Mrs. Lawson continued in a loud voice, "Besides, having cooperated with him for so long,
Sophia, you have known what type of person Mr. Collins is."
Sophia nodded, "You're right, Grandma. I know him so well and that's why I sent Cathy to negotiate
with him. I have encountered so many people like him all these years in business. But I managed to
become a leader step by step. You think Cathy is cleverer than me. So, if I can do it, I believe Cathy
can also do it. Wouldn't you agree?"
The old Mrs. Lawson had to admit what Sophia said was right so she looked at Cathy whose eyes were
red from crying. Though Cathy thought she was treated unfairly, stared at by the old lady, Cathy started
to grow uneasy.
Bella walked to the old Mrs. Lawson and said, "Mom, don't trust Sophia. She knows what we are
thinking after doing business for so many years. Don't be fooled by her."
Bella's words reminded the old Mrs. Lawson who turned back to Sophia. When the old lady was about
to speak, Sophia interrupted, "Bella, don't you agree Cathy is smarter than me?"
This time, Bella didn't know what to say. She would never admit Sophia was smarter than her daughter.
Sophia walked to her grandma, took her grandma's hands, and said sincerely, "People like Mr. Collins
are a great challenge to those who are new in the workplace. But they are not the minority in the
business cycle. Cathy is a Lawson and one day she will take on our family business. So, I want to
prepare her for the future and this negotiation was supposed to be a good opportunity."
Sophia's words calmed the old lady's anger who asked suspiciously, "You are not lying to me, aren't
you?"
Sophia complained, "Grandma, we're family. Why would I lie to you?"
However, Cathy wasn't buying this and she wanted to say something when interrupted by Sophia,
"Though I asked Cathy to quit it is because I don't have other choices. I didn't expect you to come
before I could tell you the news."
The old Mrs. Lawson asked confusedly, "What do you mean? What's the point?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Though Cathy can't come to my company, she can work for others. The Summersky Group has
agreed to offer her a job. Cathy is not good at management but she has studied the fashion industry.
Therefore, I recommended her to that company."
Sophia turned to Cathy, "Cathy, do your job once you get to the company. Don't be so reckless the next
time you face this kind of problem. A successful person deals with the problem rather than make it
more complicated."
Sophia seemed reasonable and sincere from the moment they entered her office as if she really cared
about her cousin. Even Cathy would believe her if they had not been rivals from a young age. But given
what Sophia had said, Cathy couldn't argue anymore or she would be considered naive by her
grandma. Cathy hated to admit she was cheated by Sophia's little trick.
"Grandma..." Cathy cried innocently.
The old Mrs. Lawson finally calmed down, "Cathy, your cousin is right. You still have so much to learn.
But you are a clever girl and you will make greater achievements than Sophia. Just go to the
Summersky Group as Sophia said."
She continued, "But don't make any more trouble or I will be angry."
Though Cathy cursed Sophia many times in her mind, she couldn't show her resentment. Instead, she
said sadly, "Yes, Grandma. I promise you I won't make any mistakes."
"You have just entered the workplace so it's OK if you don't know how to deal with some situations. You
can ask your sister Sophia. I think she would be glad to help," she said.
At this moment, Cathy finally yielded. Grandma had been so furious at first but since a certain point,
Sophia had influenced Grandma with her words and had convinced Grandma.
Though Cathy was usually kind of stupid when it came to competing with Sophia, she was definitely not
a fool and she knew she should stop being pettish or Grandma would trust every word Sophia said,
which would do her no good.
"Yes, Grandma, I know," Cathy said.
Bella looked at William but he didn't know what to say.
The old Mrs. Lawson smiled and said, "That's my girl. Failure is not terrible and I believe you can do
better."
Cathy nodded.
Only ten minutes passed after Mrs. Lawson entered Sophia's office. Staff members had thought there
would be a great fight between them but on the contrary, the old lady came out with a smile on her
face.
Before leaving, she turned around and said to Sophia, "Sophia, now I know you really become a
grown-up. You have learned so much all these years. I really feel happy for you."
