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 overtand 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 sentto 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.

Fia responded with a smile, “What’s wrong? You look so excited all a sudden.”
“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 hwith my dear friend here.”
Eileen’s fans stood sdistance away from them as they shouted to her warmly.
“Eileen! Cback to the entertainment scene soon!”
“We’ll always be waiting for you to cback”
“Please rest well too Don’t work too hard! If it’s too tiring, always take a break, okay?”

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 scoaches 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 smartial 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 beca 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!”
