Seeing the awkward situation Adam hesitated for a moment. Then he remembered that he had to hide from Sophia at any cost what he was doing with Smith. He could not tell her about his grand plan.
He could not tell her that he was about to make this young boy the CEO of a multi-billion dollar enterprise. Who knows what Sophia would think about him then. So Adam immediately put his hands forward in a placating gesture.
"Sophia Smith is a very smart kid," he said his voice a little too cheerful. "Seeing his dedication to his studies I wanted to help him. That's why I'm giving him some extra tuition for now."
Sophia's worried expression immediately vanished. She was very happy to hear this. A bright smile lit up her face. She looked at Adam with a new admiration in her eyes. "So all those rumors about you in school are false," she said her voice filled with relief. "I knew it. I knew you were a good person."
