She Fell for Her Taxi Driver — Then Discovered He Was the Billionaire CEO She Never Expected to Love
Chapter 6
Sophia returned to work.
The hospital became a strange place.
Some coworkers supported her.
Others whispered.
One doctor asked:
“So you’re dating the billionaire?”
Sophia smiled.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
She laughed.
“Because he’s nice.”
The doctor looked stunned.
“That’s it?”
“That’s enough.”
Daniel’s company was still under attack.
Victor had obtained support from several investors.
Daniel discovered the reason.
Victor had been secretly trying to acquire stock through shell companies.
If he gained enough control, he could force Daniel out.
Daniel needed proof.
He asked Sophia for nothing.
That was important.
He didn’t want her dragged into corporate politics.
But she noticed something.
One night, she asked:
“What’s your biggest problem?”
“Someone I trusted.”
“Victor?”
Daniel nodded.
“You trusted him for years.”
“Yes.”
“Then he knows you.”
“Exactly.”
Sophia thought.
“What did you learn from the taxi?”
Daniel smiled.
“People tell drivers things.”
“Exactly.”
He looked at her.
She continued:
“What did Victor think you didn’t know?”
Daniel became thoughtful.
Then remembered something.
During his taxi period, he had driven an executive from Reed Meridian.
The man had been drunk.
He had complained about Victor.
He had mentioned a private meeting.
A code name.
An offshore account.
Daniel had dismissed it at the time.
Now it mattered.
He contacted the executive.
The man confirmed it.
He had seen Victor transfer funds through an offshore company.
The evidence was enough.
Victor was removed.
The board supported Daniel.
The market stabilized.
The crisis ended.
Afterward, Daniel went to Sophia.
“We did it.”
She smiled.
“We?”
“You reminded me to listen.”
She laughed.
“Then maybe I earned a promotion.”
“To what?”
“Chief taxi critic.”
He smiled.
“I’d hire you.”
She kissed him.
Their relationship became public.
But they refused to turn it into a spectacle.
Sophia kept working at the hospital.
Daniel kept visiting ordinary places.
The billionaire CEO still occasionally drove the taxi.
Not because he needed to.
Because he didn’t want to forget.
One night, Sophia rode with him again.
She sat in the passenger seat.
“You remember our first ride?”
“Every word.”
“You were mysterious.”
“I still am.”
“Not anymore.”
She smiled.
“Now you’re just expensive.”
He laughed.
