Sophie was sure how long she was the restroom but she was sure that it was over two hours and the restroom was already overflowing with water since she had the tap running while she fell asleep when crying and didn't remember to remove the plug, she took a moment before she went into the bedroom and press the maid call button in the room. The water had already spread into the bedroom. Within a minute Ella with two other maids were already on the spot and immediately when the door opened they instantly knew that they had their work cut out for them. Looking at Ella stunned face Sophie made her way to the bed and got seated before she spoke " I mistakenly left the tap on without removing the flushed plug out and Marcus would be here in a moment so be quick about it " Sophie was a excited looking a Ella face as she sprang into action what was more pleasing that Marcus didn't mention about the kissing scene giving his attitude that you be the first mention on his list, it was really grea
Marcus felt Sophie was staring at him and even when he had his head up she didn't bothered blinking, he already felt something wrong or unique about Sophie aura today it was either she was confident or she was happy about a peculiar thing and he sure didn't want to find " Why are you staring at me?" Sophie instantly scuffled at Marcus living with him for sometime now had built her confidence and she wasn't afraid of him throwing a tantrum since she had gotten a proper understanding of him and she knew that she was kinda of important since there was no way under normal circumstances would Marcus would accept her proposal or have Butler Andre to find him a wife and it wasn't like he was dying of me any sort. This time Marcus couldn't help but take a look at Sophie he had a feeling that he would come to regret his decision as than he realized, he had been avoiding very lately because every time he saw her he always remembered the kiss that she gave him and he had realized that he was cr
They arrived at the restaurant in a few moments and Marcus came out of the car without the car coming to a full stop, he was angry but that anger was mostly to himself for allowing this situation to happen. He quickly found his way among the crowd of circles that had formed around Sophie while she was crying,he spoke making his voice as loud as possible while removing his other suit and wearing it for Sophie who was frozen to the spot. "Anyone that bullied my wife is a enemy to the Lucas family, I hope the Dove and Blue code company are ready for that" Marcus didn't speak more than that he slowly had Sophie walked out of the encirclement she was still shock and was till in tears, Ella didn't bothered to get into the car back since Sophie was them quickly had a cab halted that would take her back to the office. The car was filled with total silence as they drove towards the Mansion. Marcus wanted to help her by cleaning the soup off her face but she declined and helped herself to it.
She didn't have an inkling why Marcus said that she should meet him at the front of the Mansion, she changed her white robe into another one which doesn't have her tears on it before she went down to the front of the Mansion. She already got a clue once she saw the car parked outside with Marcus driver opening the door into the limousine, Marcus was silent when he noticed that Sophie was still on robe but he didn't make a comment about it he just motioned to the driver to drive out of the Mansion. The car was filled with silence for over thirty minutes on the journey to the bay. Sophie couldn't hold her curiosity any longer once she alighted from the limousine at the bay "what are we doing here?" Marcus didn't answer her question, but instead replied with his own question" can you ride a jet ski?" Sophie was still stunned about where they were so she didn't hear Marcus' words, they were in a boat park and all she could see was fishing boats parked and anchored beside one another.
If it was that she had heed to Marcus warning Sophie felt no doubt that she would have being thrown into the sea by the initial force of the boat, she was sure that the speed of the boat was immediately put at full a capacity as they race through the ocean.it took sometimes before she was able to stabilize herself and stands up properly despite the speed of the boat, it was worth saying that at this point the initial stench of fish in the boat instantly disappeared since the wind was helping to remove the stench from the boat. Having no other choice but mostly because Marcus didn't look approachable at this point, she began to look at the ocean since it was also what he was doing and that might the true purpose of boat ride. Over twenty minutes into the sea with the boat in full power Sophie couldn't hold it out again since she was having sea sickness, this time she was she was really prepared in apologizing to Marcus for any wrong doing that she might have cause by her actions yeste
It was after soaking in the bath tub for a few moments that she finally took her time to look around and the first thing that she instinctively noticed about the yacht was the window that was directly opposite her where she got a amazing view of the pool while still having her bath in the bathtub which she only attribute to being a billionaire also required you to have expensive taste , she could afford to buy a yacht like this even when she was still the CEO of Blue Code Company at the very least she could have it rent out for a month or two maybe more but she couldn't buy the yacht. Since not only does she have to buy the yacht for over thirty million dollars the regular maintenance and running cost of a huge yacht like this is enough to have her sign for bankruptcy in a couple of years, it was also at this point that she realized that she forgot her phone back at the Mansion since Marcus had her pulled out if the Mansion really quick that she could have time to make any preparati
She had expected the bridge where the Captain control the ship to be filled with lot of people having full concentration looking at their individual screen but it was actually the opposite of what she saw, no doubt the yacht bridge contains all the numerous and fancy computer that she had expected but the issue was that their was hardly anyone in the bridge, only Captain Leo was present and he was far away from the computers having a cup of coffee while looking at the sea wave. Luckily Leo was quick in noticing Anna presence in the bridge and could instantly read her expression before he spoke " Miss Sophie, I didn't expect you to see her. There isn't much to do in the bridge since we have a perfect weather" Leo words instantly pulled Sophie out of her daze and his words made lot of sense since they was hardly wind on the sea when she came aboard the yacht, she quickly regained her composure and spoke " can I off the engines, I'm waiting for my friend to come aboard the yacht and can
" Let have the birthday girl photo " since Lola had suggested it and they was no opposition to the idea they took a number of group selfie before Sophie lead the way to the master bedroom which had more than enough space to accommodate all of them comfortable. Once they all got seated Claire took the initiative to speak " Sophie you are all over the news again, the picture that Lola but online have already have a number of views. I guess since you suddenly came and swoop in the most eligible bachelor in town, lot of girls care aren't typical your fans " Sophie knew that Claire was right with her words since they was no doubt that a large number of her opposition and netizen was female based who previously had a crush on Marcus before she came along but she was quick in countering " This doesn't change the fact that I don't don't have a single penny in my name, which it definitely and irony and trust me you don't want know how my ID morning went " Iris which usually was the silent
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
