Playing Mrs. Beckett 076 - Don't Project Yourself Onto Others, Sir
Sophie blinked at Oliver’s towering figure. Part of her wondered what he was doing here, but another was just glad she had help to deal with Adrian, whom she found to be more and more unreasonable.“Oliver Blackwood,” Adrian muttered, so quiet that Sophie almost didn’t hear it. But even that faint, Sophie could still find an edge in the way Adrian said Oliver’s name.Somehow, Sophie always felt that Adrian had a bone to pick with Oliver. But as far as she knew, they never had any opportunity to interact before, so Sophie always wondered where the hostility came from.Oliver walked over to them, his face showed his usual friendly face. “Hello, Mr. Beckett,” he greeted, then turned to Sophie. “Miss Langham,” he added with deliberate emphasis.Sophie didn’t catch the way Adrian’s face darkened.“Did I interrupt something?” Oliver said, his tone light as ever.“Yes,” Adrian said with a polite front. “I’m currently talking with my wife.”Sophie was about to correct him, but Oliver spoke be

Immediately after he talked to Sophie, the withdrawals gradually slowed down. Even Beckett Holdings had lost quite a few partners in this ordeal, and those who left were reluctant to enter any new partnership, at least for now the situation wasn’t looking too grim.Adrian smiled. So she still cared. Sophie was still the same woman he fell in love with that even if they were separated, Sophie was still willing to help him.With the company stabilized, and a new contract with Senator Ballard signed, Adrian slowly gained back the lost trust. Now that he had something to work on, he could definitely bounce back. He knew, because it had happened before. And just like that time, he would overcome this too.But first, Sophie.The moment work hour ended, Adrian rushed out to Meadow Lane. He stopped by a florist to get a bouquet of calla lily, Sophie’s favorite flower, because there was no way he would come empty handed.He was trying to win her back, after all.Sophie cared. That was hope eno
Playing Mrs. Beckett 074 - It All Went Well... Right?
Weeks passed, and it was finally autumn. Sophie gave Edmund a big hug as a boarding announcement rang through the airport. Neither let go for a long time until Oliver cleared his throat.“Don’t you have a plane to catch?” he said.“Boarding just started. I still have time,” Edmund replied.“He’s right, Ed,” Sophie sighed as she let go first. “It will be silly if you miss your flight while already in the airport.”Edmund frowned. “I can always book a new flight.”Sophie could only laugh. “How did you become this unreasonable?”“And how did you become such a crybaby?”Sophie cringed, because Edmund’s words hit her right where it hurt.Another announcement rang, and this time, Edmund finally waved goodbye. He disappeared into the terminal gate. Sophie watched Edmund as he took an elevator. He needed to go back to England because frankly, his States visit was abrupt and unplanned.Sophie tightened her coat—one Mrs. Whitaker insisted she should accept—and her eyes started blankly around th

“So you’re getting divorced?” her father asked, in a tone so nonchalant that it didn’t at all feel like there were years between their last meeting.“Yes,” Sophie replied. “Edmund was a great help.”Her father gave a small hum, then silence settled for a while. It wasn't uncomfortable, only unfamiliar after so many years apart. “And are you still planning to stay in the States?”Sophie went silent for a beat. It was somehow refreshing to hear her father speak in such a matter-of-fact way. In truth, he was never a man of emotions. “I started a company here. I might still need to stay here to oversee it.”“I heard. Meadow Lane?”“Yes.”“Is everything okay now?”“Yes,” Sophie nodded. “I got help from Oliver.”Her father paused for a moment. “Why not from us?”“Huh?”“Why didn’t you ask us?”For once, Sophie didn’t know what to say. “I didn’t think you’ll—”“We will, Sophie. Whatever it is you asked for, we will.”A lump formed in her throat. For a few seconds, no one talked.“But I sup
Playing Mrs. Beckett 072 - Family
Sophie drove back in a daze. Back at Meadow Lane, she managed to do everything required of her, but both Lyla and Gregory could tell that their boss was on autopilot. Still, neither of them said anything until the office began to empty. Just as Sophie was getting ready to head home, someone knocked on her office door. Lyla peeked her head through the doorway, a can of hot chocolate in hand.“Is this a good time, Miss Langham?” she asked. Sophie, who had just finished tidying her desk, smiled.“What is it, Lyla?”“Nothing, really,” Lyla stepped in, leaving the can on Sophie's desk. “It's just that ever since you came back, you've seemed like your head's been in the clouds.”Sophie chuckled a little. “I just got a sudden family matter. Nothing concerning, though.” Sophie took the hot chocolate, “Thank you for this, Lyla. I need this.”“I can tell,” Lyla nodded, a proud smile appeared on her face. She then sighed. “I’m glad that it was nothing, then,” she said, standing up and beginning
Playing Mrs. Beckett 071 - You Will Always Have Our Support
Sophie remained where she was even after Adrian's car disappeared from view. The bustle inside Meadow Lane continued as though nothing had happened. Customers came and went through the revolving door. Somewhere behind her, Lyla was already giving instructions to another department. Yet Adrian's final revelation lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.‘Your family had been supporting Beckett Holdings.’She had instinctively rejected the idea. It sounded too absurd to be true. Her father had never approved of her decision to go to the States, let alone to marry Adrian. After she insisted on marrying him, she had believed the distance between herself and the Langhams only widened. Father no longer involved her in the family's affairs, he didn’t even look for a way to reach her anymore.

Their dinner ended on an unsatisfactory note.Adrian had to leave because of a work emergency. Sophie couldn’t even tell if it was real or not—if Adrian was just stealing fractions of time to be with Julia Hall.“I’ll make it up to you,” Adrian had said.But it had been two days, and Adrian was now

Three years. Turned out Sophie could only live as Mrs. Beckett for a mere three years. “How disappointing,” she said as she put down the photos in her hands. On the coffee table, there were even more photos of Adrian Beckett. Nation’s ideal husband, they said. Sophie snickered, her eyes scanned th

Early in the morning, Sophie woke up to yet another charade.When she opened her eyes, she couldn’t find Adrian. She found him in the kitchen, operating the coffee machine. It was what she got for their first wedding anniversary, back when Sophie said she wished to enjoy espresso anytime she wanted
