Playing Mrs. Beckett 092 - Repressed Memories
Sophie put her fingerprint on the scanner by the gate. Her heart clenched when it still recognized her and a side door was unlocked to let her in.“Welcome, Miss Sophie Langham,” said the system. Sophie smiled, feeling a sting in her heart—the good kind. She was almost sure that they’d erase her data, but now she knew that it was not the case.From the gate to the main building, she still needed to walk for around ten minutes through the gardens. She welcomed the walk. In fact, she needed it to mentally prepare, and the garden was just perfect for it.The green scenery calmed her mind, and she was more surprised that she could still recognize a lot of things. The gazebo, the pond, even some of the gardeners. Some even waved at her, clearly wanting to talk but were held by their job. Sophie just smiled and waved back.In the middle of her walk, a golf cart approached. Sophie chuckled when she saw Edmund sitting behind its steering wheel.“Sophie! I told you to call me when you arrive a

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic.Sophie waved goodbye to Oliver, who although reluctant, still had business to attend and couldn’t go with her.“How long will you be in London?” Oliver asked.“Not long,” Sophie shook her head. “I will probably stay for a night before I take a train to Langham.”“I see,” Oliver nodded. “Then, I guess I’ll see you back home.”Sophie blinked. Somehow, she had expected Oliver to offer her dinner or something. But a man came running, whispering something to Oliver, and his face got all serious again, so Sophie assumed he was just too busy.“Okay. See you later, Ollie.”Oliver just nodded as he walked away, his steps fast. Sophie watched him disappear into the crowd before she turned around. ‘I’ll see you back home,’ Oliver said. Home. The word lingered. A single, simple word with equally as simple meaning, yet Sophie had spent years trying so hard to redefine it. All that running, only to come back here. Back to the starting point.But right

Adrian walked towards the shelves of his home office, scanning through folders of old documents. He took one of them and flipped it over, and over, and over until his hand stopped at a page about Sunside Valley.He walked back to his desk and set the folder next to his latest contract. The same Sunside Valley development plan Julia Hall had handed him under the guise of goodwill. Turned out, the same contract was proposed two years ago, but at the time, the proposal was rejected.He read the details of the procedure, from the moment the proposal was first received, the one who oversaw it, and the board’s decision as to why it was rejected. Adrian had thought that it was his board of experts who did a good job at noticing fishy stuff, but no.The notes revealed that the first person to notice something off was Sophie.At once he remembered—Sophie by his side, just two years ago, frowning upon inspecting the details of the previous Sunside Valley contract.“Are you going through with th

“Someone is happy today.”Sophie blinked, and she lifted her head to meet Lyla’s gaze. Then, wearing a bashful expression, she smiled and asked, “Does it show that much?”“Why, yes! You’re practically glowing! So? What is it? Do you want to talk about it? Share the good news?”Sophie giggled. “I don’t know yet, but I’ll be having a trip soon. Hopefully it is as happy an occasion as I hoped it would be.”“It will. I will pray that it will. I got this new crystal—here you go, Miss Langham. You can keep this piece. This is filled with good energy.”Sophie could only chuckle. “The thought alone is enough, Lyla. Thank you,” she said, sliding the tiny rock back to Lyla.“But a trip, huh? So you will not be there to oversee the pop-up store?”Sophie nodded, though her face showed evident regret. “Yes. And I really want to see the actual reception in person, too…”Lyla frowned for a bit, but then her smile bounced back. “Well, I know that it will be good. After all, we now have people flying

Even Sophie didn’t expect to feel this down about the news.Edmond had long returned, now even Oliver was gone. Helen assured her that Oliver would definitely come back—he had business as important here in the States—so Sophie had no choice but to accept it.At least the dinner was enjoyable. Sophie had her fill talking about the latest reviews, and she interviewed Albert regarding his opinion on Meadow Lane’s future menswear line: what pieces they wanted, what kind of designs men might want, also for advice regarding in-house designers. She received lots of good insight and valuable advice, much to Helen’s dismay—”Who knows that a granddaughter can also be as crazy about work?” she lamented. Of course, Helen Whitaker went out of the way to rope Sophie into staying the night, which she regretfully declined. But could she really?“I really want to, Helen, but I have an important appointment very early tomorrow. I have to leave first thing in the morning.”“That’s even more reason! Her

Days passed, and Meadow Lane finally finished shipping their second batch pre-order. Lyla stood on stand-by for the reviews while Sophie and Gregory were in a discussion for the possibility of another batch.“It only makes sense if we open one for a new collection, so let’s prepare the announcement for our winter line.”Lyla chimed in from across the room, “How about seriously developing a collection for men?”Sophie hummed, deep in thought. “I’m not opposed to the idea, but if we release one, we will need to constantly make something for the men’s line.”“Shall we outsource the design?” Gregory said. “Though, judging by the reports, it seems like we can afford to actually hire an in-house designer specific for menswear.”Sophie nodded. “I will keep that in mind, but for now, let’s run the operation like usual. We also have events to think about, let’s focus on that for now.”Lyla’s head perked up. “Are we really going to Miami?”Sophie giggled. “Yes, and you will be the lead supervis

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

Adrian fulfilled his promise. Just as the clock struck midnight, Sophie could hear the beeping of their door system. She swiftly assumed her usual role. The wife, who was always ready to welcome her husband back.“Adrian, you’re too much,” Sophie said with a pout. “Not a word, not even a text. Do I

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

Nation’s ideal husband. That was what people called Adrian Beckett—a title Sophie had helped him earn. A self-made man, building his kingdom within just one generation. Beckett Holdings went public after only three years, and on the announcement livestream, Adrian had turned to Sophie and proposed
