CHAPTER 97: I’M DEAD
Sophie’s POV
“What?! Vincent and Dylan Jacobs are the same person?! And he what? He tried to kiss you?!” Sabrina said as soon as I told her about everything that happened yesterday.
I wasn’t able to talk to Sab for the past few weeks because she’s been out of the country for a while.
“Y-Yeah. When I brought him to the stock room, h-he tried to kiss me…” I said while looking away.
“He tried, or you really let him kiss you?” Sabrina asked while looking skeptically at me.
I bit my lower lip. “H-He kissed me all of a sudden! I didn’t have a chance to push him away!”
Sabrina shook her head. “Oh, Sophie. I know you really well. And for sure, you kissed him back, right? And, did something beyond that happen too?”
“W-What?! O-Of course not! N-Nothing happened after that because I already kicked him in the groin.”
“Ouch! That hurt as fuck, Sophie! Hahahaha!”
“He deserves that. And the next time he tries to go near me again, I won’t hesitate to do it again and again until he becomes impotent.”
“But if that happens, you won’t be able to experience the best sex of your life.” Sabrina teased me.
I glared at her. “Sabrina!!!”
“Just kidding hehehe..”
Then my phone rang.
I excused myself from Sabrina to answer Miss Felestine’s call.
“Hello?”
“Sophie, can you go to my office now?”
“Huh? S-Sure, I will go there immediately, Miss Felestine.”
“Okay, we’ll wait for you here.”
“Okay.”
Then she finally hang up the phone.
I looked at Sabrina.
“Miss Felestine wants me to go to her office.”
“Your mom?”
“Y-Yes.”
“Sophie, why don’t you address her as ‘mom’ or ‘mommy’? I mean, you longed for that chance, right? You even told me how much you want to be able to call your mom again.”
I heaved a sigh. “I don’t know… Maybe I’m just not comfortable with her yet… By the way, I have to go now. Bye, Sab!”
“Alright, bye Sophie!”
***
I was surprised as soon as I stepped inside Miss Felestine’s office. She was sitting on her swivel chair while talking to Vincent who was sitting on the couch while his legs crossed.
They both looked at me.
“Sophie, you finally arrived.” said Miss Felestine.
“I’m sorry if I’m late, Miss Felestine.”
She nodded. “It’s alright, honey. Please have a seat.”
“T-Thank you.”
I glared at Vincent who was staring at me with a smile on his face. I sat on the couch but I made sure that I wouldn’t be sitting next to him.
“Sophie, why are you so far away from Dylan?”
“H-Huh? N-Nothing…”
“You can sit next to him.”
I covertly rolled my eyes as I moved closer to Vincent.
“So, I have heard that you left Mr. Jacobs at one of our branches yesterday when you were supposed to tour him around. Why did you do that to our greatest investor, Sophie?” Miss Felestine asked me.
I glared at Vincent before looking at Miss Felestine.
Who wouldn’t run away if a pervert tries to rape you?! This pervert really had the audacity to tell it to Miss Felestine?! And he even made it look like it was my fault?!!
“A-Actually Miss Felestine, I didn’t really left him there. I just went out for a while because I was not feeling really well. I just forgot to tell it to him…”
“But still Sophie, you shouldn’t have left him there. He said that he waited for you to come back.”
I just kept my head lowered.
“Sophie, you should apologize to him.”
“But—
“Mr. Jacobs is one of the most important investors that our company has. We shouldn’t give him a bad impression especially he just agreed on dealing with is.”
“It’s alright, I understand Miss Sophie. Maybe she was just not feeling really well yesterday that’s why she left me there.”
“But still, should’ve informed you about that. Sophie, you should apologize to Dylan.”
I sighed.
I lifted my chin up and looked at Vincent. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. It was so disrespectful of me to left you there just because I wasn’t feeling well.”
Vincent suddenly reached for my hand. “It’s alright, Miss Sophie. I think you don’t feel comfortable with me yet. I would like to invite you for a dinner later so that we could get to know each other more.”
“That’s a good idea! You should have dinner together!” said Miss Felestine.
I quickly brushed Vincent’s hands on mine and forced a smile on my face. “I’m so sorry Mr. Dylan but I don’t think I can go on a dinner with you. I have so many things to do later so—
“I can reschedule your meetings with our investors. You don’t have to worry about anything, Sophie.”
“No, Miss Felestine. You don’t have to reschedule my meetings, we can’t do that to them.” I said.
“We can, as long as it’s for our biggest investor.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“But—
“Oh, and by the way Mr. Dylan, we would like to invite you to our ball next week. We’ll be having an important announcement there including our partnership with you.”
Vincent nodded. “I’ll go.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Dylan.”
