Playing Mrs. Beckett 083 - Drowning In Our Roles
Adrian woke up to find himself in a dimly lit room. His entire body felt hot. A weird medicinal smell rushed to his nose, and his head pounded once again. He tried to sit, but a hand held him and it pushed him back to bed again. He squinted, and through his blurry vision, made out a silhouette before him. A familiar one.“Sophie?” he said, and even that took a lot of him to do.The silhouette went still for a fraction of a second, but she said nothing. She just extended her hands, cupping Adrian’s face and before long, he felt something touching his lips.It was a kiss. One that Adrian somehow returned, and he blamed the hot sensation in his entire body for that. He knew this was bad news. He remembered what happened before his consciousness faded, so despite his delirious mind that, for a split second, thought it might be Sophie kissing him right now, he knew that was definitely not the case.Yet the more he tried to resist, the hotter his body burned, and his mind went more and more
Playing Mrs. Beckett 082 - Of Course You Are
“Hello, Soph, sorry for coming so sudden—whoa, looking grim here. What happened?”Oliver was already so chipper the moment he came into the room. Too bad Sophie was too concerned with another matter, otherwise she would gladly play along. Then, he noticed Gregory sitting on the sofa.“Oh, someone’s here. Sorry, I thought—”“No, it’s okay, Ollie,” Sophie waved her hand. “He knows.”“Oh… good then. I always feel awkward when you tell me to pretend we don’t know each other.”Sophie raised her brows. “You don’t look awkward at all.”“You don’t get it,” Oliver shook his head, clicking his tongue as he went. “What I feared was feeling too relaxed and accidentally slipped something out, but never mind that. You’ve been scowling. What happened?”Sophie weighed. Should she tell Oliver?“Is it something internal? If it is, then don’t tell me, it’s okay.”“Well, it’s not exactly a secret. It’s just… awkward.”“Try.”“It’s Adrian Beckett…”Oliver frowned. “Why? Is he still bothering you?”“No, no
Playing Mrs. Beckett 081 - Complications
Her investigations led them to a hotel, another one owned by Senator Ballard. Her investigators had already begun moving to find out the senator’s information, and look into what he wanted with Adrian or Beckett Holdings. Upon receiving the location, Gregory, too, instructed the guard agency to go there.Everything was confirmed, and now that she had done something, Sophie’s heart felt lighter. Still, she had Gregory stay for further coordination.He looked at her with confusion.“What is it?” Sophie asked.“Nothing, just… I don’t think you’ll still do all this for Mr. Beckett,” Gregory replied, and to that, Sophie sighed.“Even I find it surprising. I was tempted to just leave it alone, but once I noticed the weird things that happened, I just couldn't calm down.”“Do you still care for him, Miss Langham?”The question made Sophie pause. It was the very same question she had asked herself. Did she still care? Or was it just a habit? She had done this for Adrian countless times, smoot
Playing Mrs. Beckett 080 - Against My Better Judgment
Sophie sat in her office, trying to focus on her job. It proved difficult, mostly because she didn’t have that many things left to do. Despite her effort to forget Adrian’s weird call, Sophie couldn’t really shake it off of her mind.Her finger hovered over her phone screen, the investigator’s contact ready on dial. But Sophie debated with herself—should she?What did she care about Adrian? If he found himself in danger, Sophie no longer had any obligation to lend a hand. That was what her rationale was constantly telling her.Yet she found her mind to stir, and before she realized, her finger was there again, ready to call.After it happened for the third time, Sophie finally decided to resign to her fate. Knowing her, she wouldn’t be able to concentrate. And if later she found out that Adrian was, in fact, in some sort of emergency, she would never forgive herself for ignoring his call for help.“Look into Adrian Beckett,” she sent. Luckily, her investigator team didn’t make a fuss
Playing Mrs. Beckett 079 - A Setup
Adrian stepped out of his car, and his eyes scanned the building before him. It was a commercial district Senator Ballard owned, and people had been whispering about how he even got this many buildings.In front of the main entrance, Julia Hall stood waiting for him. Her smile grew the moment he met her eyes, and it almost reignited whatever flame there was between them. Almost—Adrian knew better.He loved Sophie. That fact still hadn’t changed. Even if he was seeing another woman, even in his unfaithful days, Sophie would always take priority. Now that he knew the damages he had done on his most beloved, he couldn’t afford making any more mistakes.So even if his heart ached, he still managed to return Julia’s smile with a professional greeting.Noticing his attempt at creating distance, Julia’s smile dropped for a moment. It returned a beat later, though.“Mr. Beckett,” she said. Her professional tone pricked Adrian’s heart, but he told himself that it was for the best.It should hu
Playing Mrs. Beckett 078 - What Happened After
The next day, Sophie received some good news. First was Gregory applying for a leave because Cynthia’s surgery was finally scheduled. All preparations were done and Cynthia’s condition was optimal for the transplant. Both Lyla, who first received his application, and Sophie, who immediately approved the leave, were excited—they were even more elated than Gregory, who managed to somehow stay professional throughout the entire process.The second was that Langham Logistic had started the first batch shipment, and the nearest orders were received on the same day. By evening, reviews had started rolling in.At dinner, Sophie’s eyes were practically glued to her tablet, watching testimonies and unboxings. No one said anything—both Helen and Albert Whitaker understood how meaningful this moment was for Sophie, so as long as she still properly ate her meals, the elderly couple just let Sophie be.So far, the reactions were positive, and it raised the hype for her brand. Influencers also revi
