Sophie Sullivan immediately turned around and shot him a look, signaling him not to get angry, this was just a delaying tactic.
The priority was to stabilize that dangerous element, Thomas Shannon, for now.
Lucifer was unwilling, but had no choice but to accept it.
After all, he couldn’t bear to be angry with her, could he?
The bodyguard immediately came to Sophie and Lucifer, respectfully saying, "Miss Cecilia Branford, Young Master Lucifer, we don’t know what happened, suddenly these people came looking for trouble..."
Sophie raised her hand, her gorgeous face was filled with a solemn coldness, immediately silencing the bodyguard.
She looked around at these unfamiliar faces, unsure if they were connected to Andres.
But now there was only one thing she could be sure of; she couldn’t distinguish friend from foe.
"He is my friend, you all stand down."
Thomas Shannon casually handed the little yellow duck in his hand to Charlie River, stepped forward two steps, and grabbed her slender waist with an overbearing and possessive embrace, "Tell them, I’m your boyfriend."
"Male friend."
Male friend?
Thomas Shannon sneered, icy coldness flashed within his eyes, layer upon layer surfacing to the eye’s surface, he lowered his head, his thin lips moved close to Sophie Sullivan’s ear, appearing very intimate to outsiders, but actually not so.
Thomas Shannon lowered his voice, mocking, "I’m so ignorant, turns out Miss Cecilia Branford can casually go to bed~ with a male friend."
"Thomas Shannon, you!"
"Is admitting I’m your man that hard?"
Sophie Sullivan said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, I have something to do, if you’re leaving then leave, if you’re staying I won’t stop you. But one thing, don’t make a sound, don’t interfere with me, otherwise, I’ll have Gaby eat you up!"
"Forget about Gaby, it poses no threat to me." Thomas Shannon’s thin lips brushed slightly against her earlobe, "But if you eat me up, I’d be happier."
"I’m not interested in eating you!"
"Is that so? Your body says otherwise, who was it that was holding onto me tightly at that time, hmm?"
Sophie Sullivan was stunned for a few seconds, only then realizing this rascal was being a rascal again, immediately glared at him angrily, lifted her foot, and stomped on his instep to vent her frustration.
She clenched her teeth, her voice squeezed out through her teeth, "Thomas Shannon, you are shameless!"
"I just want you."
"..."
"Fennie, I’ve done nothing right during this time, except you."
"..." Damn rascal!
Seeing her look of wanting to be angry but unable to express it, Thomas Shannon laughed triumphantly, seeing her eat crow was a great delight for him.
He knew when to stop, fully aware of this wild cat’s temper; occasionally teasing was fine, but if truly provoked, she was capable of anything.
Thomas Shannon lifted his hand, patting her head soothingly, "Alright, I’ll accompany you home."
"No."
"Don’t refuse me, Fennie. Otherwise, you know what I’ll do."
This was a blatant threat!
"Despicable!"
"And that’s because you forced me."
The two flirted openly, making Lucifer nearly step forward several times to pull them apart!
Sophie Sullivan withdrew her gaze, turned around to get into the car, but Thomas Shannon grasped her wrist, his narrow eyes provocatively looked at Lucifer, "Fennie, ride in my car."
"No, I want to go with Lucifer." Sophie Sullivan rejected without hesitation.
