Chapter 37

• "Soh..." Sophia begins to say, but an instant hesitation is evident as her expression flickers with wide-eyed realization. She quickly snaps her mouth shut, realizing that sharing her true identity could result in unwanted media attention. The thought of news articles and the ensuing paparazzi frenzy sends a shudder through her.
• Glenda notices a dip in Sophia's brow and contemplates her face as Sophia remains silent, choosing not to reveal any further details. It's a habit ingrained in her by her affluent family—to only disclose her identity when it's safe and not to invite unnecessary drama. Glenda lifts an eyebrow, waiting for a response, but Sophia remains blank, despite feeling a pang of guilt. She knows that Glenda saved her life, but she can't risk exposing herself or bringing potential harm to POLO, the company she represents.
• "I... umm... I'm sorry. For now, please don't ask," Sophia croaks out, her voice strained. Glenda narrows her eyes, almost squinting in suspicion, but she ultimately grins and lets the topic go. She realizes that Sophia must have her reasons for remaining tight-lipped. Glenda is a laid-back person and doesn't push for explanations.
