Without giving Sophie the chance to protest iris with Claire came forward and Claire was able to hold her in position while Iris that the coat unbutton " you look amazing by the way, there isn't really a birthday celebration without pictures and it only for ours eyes or maybe your mother would be in the mix but that isn't the reason that we are having a party in the first place " Iris' words definitely made Sophie calm a little bit since her words actually made a lot of sense, since this was the one day that she might have in the rest of the year to really have fun. It is only proper that she really went all out in having fun. Claire gently released Sophie from her grip since she could tell that she had slowly come to terms with the words, Sophie took a moment to catch her breath since Claire put a lot of strength into those slender arms of hers. " I guess Iris is right on this but we have to have the photo shoot back at the room, the cabin crew is well enough to receive the guest pr
Her action definitely caused some disturbance which wasn't out of the radar of Ella as she spoke noticing bit " You shouldn't move around to much, the hangover pill just set in and it won't be long before we arrived at the Mansion.. Plus I had all your friends sent back to their place successfully so you don't new to worry much about that but I had to say you really had a wild party back there " Ella words did the trick as Sophie wasn't moving aggressively in the car anymore and more focus on resting since she could tell that her headache was reducing with each passing moment which was probably the effect of the hangover pills even If she couldn't recall any bit of her taking them but at the very least she was feeling more light headed which was a good thing.. Ella didn't say much until they got to the Mansion and help Sophie in although she could do it herself, as much as she didn't want to admit she felt being played over here in some sort of way by Marcus. She felt the only reason
Once her alarm went off Sophie went back to the bedroom to change into a set of new clothes which was a crop top and a baggy trouser which was typically her choice of fashion when she wasn't in a office suit or going for a official event, Sophie didn't need to do much since Ethan already had car prepared and ready to be drive to the airport which was only a hour driver from the airport. The drive towards the airport went on smoothly without any hitch as they wasn't any traffic build up on the road on they trip with Sophie surfing the web in the maybach to whine away time, at least she was far from making headline but it was hard to remove the Lucas industry from news since they were one of the major player in the world. Although Marcus might have a expressionless facial it didn't take much for anyone to know that he was bruising himself with work,the Lucas industry was able to stabilize the massive drop of share value but it was still far from over since the now the Dove and the Blue
Once they got to the Mansion Butler Andre help Sophie out of the car which she didn't decline since she knew that it was a sort habit for him and it would be rude of her if she declined, Sophie was stunned a bit with the presence of Marcus waiting to welcome Butler Andre but she wasn't really surprised that he was here taking the relationship they had between. The talks she recently just had with Butler Andre and his presence gave Sophie some sort of courage that she took the initiative in speaking on approaching Marcus " I would leave both of you to catch up while I go and take a quick shower before joining you over at the dinner table " Sophie wasn't expecting any sort of acknowledge from Marcus which he obviously didn't give so ahead immediately after speaking leaving both of them behind. Heading towards the bedroom, Sophie use this opportunity to have her phone removed from the famous 'don't disturb ' mode which she had selected a few hours ago and have totally forg
This time Marcus couldn't help but shiver a little as he stopped eating on hearing Butler Andre words, he really didn't have a pleasant memory of her of any sort. He could still remember when he was still young and Butler Andre with his late Grandfather were out on a business trip when he caught the flu so she was called in to help. She almost scalded him with hot water giving a squeaky clean bath which left huge scars in his memories. After surviving the incident everyday for close to a week he refused to have his bath with hot water for close to a full month, Pulling himself out of his thoughts Marcus had to admit that Butler Andre words sounded reasonable since his Aunt Katherine was totally that kind of person that loved to pull strings in the dark. He had being so focus on holding the company together that he totally forgot about the only sort of kin he had, Marcus finally cleared his throat before he spoke and you could tell from the tone which he used that he wasn't parti
The atmosphere was a silent for a split of seconds as Sophie Mum had her eyes on Butler Andre who tag along which Sophie was quick in noticing and spoke to clarify the situation " This is Butler Andre, the family Butler of my Husband " this was probably the first time Sophie ever those set of words or said it proudly unfortunately Marcus was not here to listen in. Butler Andre nodded a gave a slight nod as followed a short exchange pleasantries before instructing Ethan to help out with the load before leading the way to the helipad spot that was just around the corner, Sophie didn't need to up as any effort with her Mom wheelchair since it was fully automated. After putting out of earshot distance between Sophie Mom finally spoke " we have lot of catching up to do and so you better don't lie to me but that would be for tomorrow, I just need a hot bath and a proper sleep at this point " Sophie couldn't agree more with her Mom since she was also dead tired although it wa
Within a few minutes Sophie had the setup completed and connected to the multiple interface meeting that she was scheduled to have despite being two minute late, once she got connected Amber was the first to take the initiative in speaking " we saw the text you sent in the evening, so we assume that everything is going on smoothly between you two or did he finally get admitted that he charmed by your beauty ? I don't every get how you always being the lucky one getting all the right guys " Sophie didn't reply to Amber words since she knew that it was just to have her flattered rather she reply with her own set of words " That didn't happen rather I think I got us some space with some funds to start with through the help of Butler Andre who is back by the way but Amber and Claire will have to tag along to see the place. I don't want you guy's to quit your job over something tha isn't worth it yet .. Oh right Amber Mom is back so you might want to pop to the Mansion tomorrow morning be
It only took a few minutes for Butler Andre to locate Marcus position and head back towards the kitchen with him of course as he shield but Sophie's Mom was unusually filled with energy this morning so she naturally would let him slide easily so she spoke once Marcus had gotten seated and comfortably eating his burnt eggs with toast. " Butler Andre could you help with making coffee, so.. Marcus how are you Sophie didn't tell me much on how both of you meet. I'm sure you don't mind telling her poor Mom " This time Marcus wasn't stunned by Sophie Mom's words since he had expected it and had made proper preparation this time but he couldn't help but grumbled internally since he could see the clear connection between Sophie and her Mom in terms of attitude. " Sorry maybe later, I have stuff to do at the office and I should probably leave now since it is already sunrise, plus me and Sophie are going to my Aunt's place for the weekend…" Marcus was hardly finished with his sente
Sophie was done hardly done with the meal when her alarm went up and she took it's as her cue to leave " I guess I got to go but the still a lot of time to catch up and about the meal it's would be better to go by normal cream instead of blueberries" Benson gave a light chuckle before speaking " Sophie wait, I actually called you here because of this…" Sophie was stunned by Benson sudden kiss but she she quickly reciprocate for few minutes before pulling herself away from Marcus before it got pretty heated " Now since I'm back and also being a head chef, I can fully take care of both of us and you don't need to put up with Marcus. You said it yourself he is gloomy " It was at this point that Sophie realised the effect of her action with Benson although they were in VIP suite there was no lack of people around that would recognized her since she had been in the news lately too much , Sophie spoke quickly placing her stuff into her bag while getting up leave
Sophie could tell that she woke up pretty late since the sun was very much out and taking in account everything that happened yesterday she wasn't surprised much as she felt a little bit refreshed from the long sleep and she still had a lot of extra hours before the world tech conference so she couldn't be late. Heading towards the restroom for a shower Sophie wasn't bothered the lack of Marcus presences on the bed since apart the fact that they gotten pretty close from yesterday convery that she could tell what he was saying with his eyes from yesterday she also knew how Marcus deal with work so it's wasn't surprising or hard to know. Once she was done with freshening up and was about to head out to kitchen to fix herself some breakfast she got a beep from a unexpected someone which she hadn't meet for a long time Benson he was also the person that help her get out a tight spot when the incident with Dave was still fresh and also help her with the job as a waitress ev
Butler Andre took the initiative on speaking on spotting Sophie " Marcus said he would be back in a moment but I guess we don't need to wait for him when everyone is presence " " I'm sure he won't come since he is always gloomy without exception at the very least we would have a extra plate of meal for us " Butler Andre knew that it was almost impossible for Marcus to miss this dinner especially with Sophie being present and whatever he had going on, of course Butler Andre didn't mentioned it out loud since it would be less interesting as the situation unfold. Within the next five minutes the dinner table was all completed with everyone completely seated and of course Marcus was the last to arrive, Once they were all seated Katherine took the initiative in speaking as the host of the dinner also taking a cup of champagne for a toast " I'm sure the past year haven't been the best for all of us since we have lost something or someone that is which is dear to us but
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It was afternoon when Marcus arrived back at his Mansion with Aunt Katherine with him , she had somehow convince him that she would stay over for as long that his relationship with Sophie reach a stage that she was satisfied or in other words it's would proper to that she was here to give Marcus love advice not like he had a choice to refuse since she would do it anyway without him permission. Marcus wasn't surprised that's he met the Mansion empty since it wasn't hard to figure out that Sophie made plan's to explored the once she was done with making sure that everything went smoothly for tomorrow tech conference, He motion for Bella before speaking " Aunt Katherine this is Bella she would help you with anything that you need and I'm sure you know your way around the Mansion since you aren't old to forget that. Bella who also informed the other Mansion caretaker about the feast that would take place tonight " Since they wasn't any need for
Katherine finally spoke " Come on if you don't tell me everything I can't help but just admit it the little stunt I pulled help you out and I'm sure you know you might be running out of time " After endless number of teasing Katherine was finally able to have Marcus open up to everything, of course she felt the urge to burst into laughter more than ever since beneath the cold Aura he always had on Marcus was totally clueless to love.>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sophie had a hard sneeze unaware that Marcus' recent revelation was behind it, she didn't put much thought to the kiss since she thought her and Marcus already had an understanding to act like a couple in the presence of her Mother. She was finally able to convince her mother to tag along in their trip as Sophie felt she needed to purchase some gown and accessories for the tech conference something worth Marcus status as a billionaire plus she was was itching to go on a shopping spree something she hadn't done in a while, with her knowing
Sophie could hear her Mom fuming about being left alone and how busy she was to give her a grandchild, she didn't comment since it would make things rather complicated so she waited it out for a few minutes till she was done with her outburst before she spoke " Come on Mom, they still a lot of time to do that it just happened that we are busy at this time of the year. " The next ten minutes was spent on meaningless struggle within them while waiting for Butler Andre to return before they dig in for breakfast, Sophie Mom to a minute before she was able to regain her composure from the laughter she was having before she spoke " You haven't told me how the trip on meeting Marcus Aunt went, you didn't even bring it up since you arrived..." " Miss Amber have arrived in the Mansion and she would be joining you for breakfast in a moment " Butler Andre presence but a stop to Sophie Mom words which Sophie use best of this opportunity mumbling all her words in a short sentence " I promise we
Emily scuffled a little before she spoke since it was clear that that Dave was clearly teasing her " You better don't be overconfident Marcus isn't a run over either, I had a gut feeling why these was easier than normal so I hired a private investigator and found that his father left the company in chaos plus it already a miracle that the company didn't file for bankruptcy and was able to maintain it former status quote " Emily's words no doubt reduce Dave's initial excitement making him realize the numerous problems they had and Sophie was still in the picture, if she had the opportunity to get into their server she would throw all their hard work into the bin since she was the creator of the software. With her words having the expected reaction that she had in mind on Dave she spoke " don't worry much we have a flock of billionaires in our network that we can lay on plus Sophie can never have access to our security system, what about we close the office door like you sa
Having not other choice than to head back to the Master bedroom to check how he was faring Butler Andre spoke giving a order to the housekeeper "Olivia, have the pancakes that I placed in the refrigerator heated up and brought into the Master bedroom with two plate since Young Master might be hungry " Even without waiting for Butler Andre lead Sophie had already begun to made her way to the Master bedroom to check up on Marcus although she was heavy pissed to a point at this moment since she was totally stress out and need food to regain some energy which Marcus being awake delay that factor, since there was no conversation between Butler Andre and Sophie they were able to make it back to the bedroom within five minutes but the scenario they saw wasn't what they had expected even for Sophie. Marcus had already taken his bath and was in his sweat suit occupied with work on his desk space although Butler Andre knew that Marcus had a lot work piled out for him he totally didn'
Once they had alighted from the helicopter and Sophie had exchange goodbye pleasantries her initial reaction was to go check on her mother who was somewhere in the Mansion but on the second thought she decided to follow Marcus back towards the Master bedroom since she still wasn't sure of his health statistics and it was definitely not a good idea to leave him alone, plus she still had to carry her luggage back to her room. Marcus didn't care whatever Sophie did at this point since he could feel himself getting foggy with every passing second and that wasn't a good sign for anything. At this point he would probably give anything for a proper sleep on a comfortable bed. Bella stop them for vacation brief second on their way towards the bedroom taking the initiative in speaking " Butler Andre just arrived a few minutes ago before your arrival and he currently have the family doctor setting up in the Master bedroom " Bella words brought some sort of relief to Sophie
