Theo simply looked down at her. "My name is Theo, not whatever you choose to call me. You don’t own me."
Sophia, realizing that she was losing control of the situation, became more frantic and lunged at him.
Her attack was so fierce that she actually knocked Theo against the wall.
Next, Sophia stood on her tiptoes. She lifted her face as if she were about to kiss Theo. "Marcus, look at me... Look at me..."
Theo furrowed his brow and was about to push her away when Ellinor's voice suddenly echoed from the staircase. "What on earth are you two doing?"
Sophia paused and turned to look at Ellinor as a sly smile spread across her face. "Oh, look who it is! Can't you see what we're doing? We were just about to kiss until you interrupted!"
Even if she hadn't managed to kiss him, she wouldn't let Ellinor have the satisfaction.
Theo immediately pushed Sophia away, sternly saying, "That’s not true! Don’t listen to her nonsense!”
Ellinor had only opened the door a crack, but after hearing Sophia, she pushed it wide open and strutted in.
She looked at Sophia, who had been pushed away, then at Theo, whose clothes were disheveled, and calmly helped him straighten his outfit. "So, you came out here to have a secret rendezvous with your old friend?"
