    She helps him settle comfortably back against the plush pillows.Edward sighs in defeat."All right, you win."Sofia releases a small breath of relief."You are staying home to rest today, understood?"Edward looks at her quietly."Fine."Sofia smiles softly."Good."Edward glances toward the clock on the wall."There is an important business event coming up next weekend."Sofia looks at him with mild curiosity."What kind of event is it?""It’s a major corporate award ceremony.""Several prominent business leaders will be there.
