Butler Andre knew that Marcus would be this stubborn when it come to his Grandfather, it was around this point he felt the pain that Marcus Grandfather were passing through. " Young master, all your clothes and belongings naturally belong to the family since you bought then using the money of the family even through that you work for it, I sure that you haven't noticed it but you credit cards have been frozen "
The car was filled with silence since Marcus realized how screwed he was at this point, if he didn't comply to his Grandfather's wish he would be totally bankrupt with only the family Lucas name to bear, he didn't even have a friend to help out since his close friends were monitored by the Italy government. Unwilling he finally spoke "Butler Andre, I would leave the situations in your hands to deal with. You have never disappointed a bit " the literary meaning of what Marcus said was to contact their family lawyer so his Grandfather will won't be effective since he heard about some condition that need to be met for a person will to be voided but Butler Andre took his reply in term of finding a temporary wife he could marry, he was now thinking about choosing the right person who his young master won't get irritation at. Within a few minutes they got into the mansion, it was built to give the ancient yet modern aura even Butler Andre couldn't count how many times that it had been fully renovated under his time as a Butler. They spent little time here dropping off Marcus luggage and having the car change into a sedan as they head out again towards the family cemetery.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It was in the middle of the night, Amber had a lot of ice cream with Sophie so she woke up since she was a little press and was surprised not to find Sophie beside her. It was a plain bed since the other additions to the bed had been removed from the box,Finding Sophie was the least of her problems since she already had an inkling of what she was doing and she instantly sprinted into the restroom to relieve herself. It was when she was done cleaning up that she walked toward the living room since she could see that it had it's had his light on and just like she had predicted Sophie was still awake working with the file she seen her earlier, Sophie quickly noticed Amber in the room and quickly pass her the file that she was studying since she already know Amber. " I could get around the file and I found something interesting when I read deeper…" Amber was speechless on Sophie behavior it was obvious she crushing on him which was totally normal but Sophie wasn't done with her conversation " I saw something surrounding his birth which his rather tragedy, it really no coincidence he is antisocial " Amber found a chair to sit and read the highlighted part of the document, it was a accident report of a accident Marcus father and pregnant mom was involved in a accident which they died on the spot and they had to cut open to remove Marcus. Although the story was rather sad, Amber couldn't understand how the situation required her to stay up night. Amber quickly shrugged her off and pulled her against her will towards the bedroom.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sophie wasn't sure what the time was but she could hear her cell phone ringing from her bag. It took a while before she had her eyes open since she could tell that she already had a dark circle formed around her eyes. It took a moment before she was a to regain her composure and checked he phone books to see that she already had dozen of calls both from her mom and Dave it was then she look up at her phone time and saw that it was a few minutes after lunch break, she slight adjusted her suit skirt since it was she slept with as she didn't bring a extra clothing before she went into the restroom to freshen up a little bit. The dark circle around her eyes wasn't going to go anytime so she didn't bother much about it and went straight towards the kitchen where Amber had found the microwave among the boxes and was already heating up their left over from the fridge, it was when Sophie took a slice of pizza that Amber noticed that she was in the room " I told you should sleep early last night now you look like a crazy witch in, oh right you had a long of work text , your phone keep ringing all over again but I didn't want to disturb you " Taking another slice of pizza Sophie replied " I would place a call to them later on,am the boss nothing could go wrong and speaking about work aren't you going to report in for work since you already in New York I would deal with the unboxing, I literally took a day off to help you and I haven't shifted a box " Sophie took a great in convincing Amber to report to work for her clearance stuff so she would get would be able to a get a favorable impression at her employer, it wasn't that Sophie didn't want to employ Amber under but it was Amber that insisted not to since it was a little bit awkward to be working under you befriend hubby. Once Amber was out of the house going for the company clearance to sort her new employment slot, Sophie quickly place a called to Dave which he almost answered immediately as he asked being expecting her to call back " can you send lot of people that do interior designing to Amber places I want the place ready before she comes back" when Sophie said that she would help with the unboxing she really didn't mean herself as she was to lazy for that, she came from a middle class family do she didn't to do odd job to survive and by the stroke of luck she met Dave on her first interview so literally her life have sailing smoothly from birth.Dave took a minutes or two before he replied" I guess I know a few people and would have them send over but aren't you meant be in office today we have been waiting in a long while the meeting have been shifted for tomorrow , the heir Marcus is eager to inherit the business since he is a numbies it would be best if we are able to cling to him and Hunter said that the team is with highlight the files strong point " "I would be there in a jiffy. Sophie spoke as she disconnected the line, she was surprised that the meeting schedule was pushed forward five day than planned which was literally tomorrow. This alone made her form a bad impression on Marcus before actually meeting him, she quickly went into the bedroom and had her bath before making sure to have her hair adjusted before she left and boarded a cab. She didn't forget to send a text to Amber telling her that she would be out since something came up. Luckily there wasn't much traffic that she expected and they got to the compa
Once she sat down back to her chair she had to admit she was a little nervous about the whole presentation that was happening tomorrow if wasn't that she was confident in herself she won't want even proceed with the whole plan and she had to admit Dave was right she in challenging her up to the task it has been a while since she had felt like this, the alarm that she had before since she needed to do shopping started ringing pulling her away from her thought. Since she didn't answer her mother's call in the morning she sent a text asking her to do a little shopping and a dozen of corn silk tea which she had recently become obsessed with after her recent travel with her travel group that takes place every three months which was roughly four times a year. Sometimes Sophie felt her confidence was from the genes, her mom always wanted travel around the world but after the accident it was really not possible since she had to manage her limited funds for Sophie upbringing but she couldn't
On the second thought she was a little bit excited about meeting Marcus not because it wasn't everyday that you have the chance to see a billionaire in person but she couldn't help but fantasized about from that moment whenever she close her eyes or even when she was on heat, she quickly realize that she won't be able to get out of bed and probably need lot of tissue us he continue with her fantasy. Without wasting any precious time she immediately went onto the restroom as she wanted to removed her blonde coloured back to her natural since it was kinda of her lucky charm but things really didn't work out the way one' planned ,it took more time than she expected to have it done and now she was currently in a walking in haste towards the top floor. Sophie could already anticipate the scolding or laughter she would get from Dave if he knew that she made such a rookie mistake, she could only pray in her heart that Marcus the billionaire heir who she was supposed to summit her business p
Marcus took a quick glance at Butler Andre who immediately understood his decision,he couldn't help but feel a little sorry at Sophie so he could tell that she really gave it her all. Marcus stood up and he was passed his coat by Butler Andre and spoke while moving out of the meeting room " you should have work under me but as I said earlier you are still clumsy" this time Sophie was infuriated she couldn't believe that there was still someone who who still addressed her as a child she literally had boobs although it wasn't a massive as would think it would, it showed that she was a full fledged adult. "Hey" she shouted using all her strength into her voice as she ran out of the office to catch up with Marcus at the employee lounge, having no other choice than to stop since if the he didn't clarify on the issue on as lot of eyes where on him rumors were bound to be spreading around the company and would reach the ears of the media sooner of later. Sophie was taken aback a little by t
Once she got into the meeting room she instantly asked " why are you all doing here this time? Didn't you have work to do" Dave quickly made his way out of the crowd and spoke " we were waiting for you to celebrate, Hunter would be back any minute with the champagne and the Lucas industry just donated a hundred billion dollars to charity." Immediately Dave was done talking Hunter entered the room moving a tray containing different expensive wine, But Sophie was still stunned hearing Dave words, that b**stard literally refused her proposal that it wouldn't cost more than five million to implement which was almost nothing to him but to Sophie and Dave it was their push to reach a quarter of a billionaire and the next moment when she left he actually donated such a huge amount of money.Did he really want her to choke on her own blood since it was definitely working, Dave slightly tap Sophie pulling her from her daze. Sophie took a few moments to regain her composure before she spoke " t
Benson was a friend of Sophie which she meet at the restaurant back then he didn't knew who she was and tried to woo her even sprout lot of things like her becoming his personal waitress and he was caught of guard when Sophie revealed who she was, obviously things didn't work out in a romantic with him but they became closer friends since then and she always used his words back then to tease him. Benson maintain a huge smile despite her teasing and reply " at least I get to pay for your meal for the first time, If you need anything extra you can asked the waiter but I have to hurried back in I making a new recipes and too bad you aren't allowed to have a taste also don't forget to report to the bank about your card issue" Sophie couldn't help but laugh softly as she watched Benson hurried back into the Kitchen he really saved her from this sticky situation. Since the issue was resolved she left the restaurant and went back to her room since she still had to prepare work for today. I
She didn't need any conviction at this point that Dave was really behind the situation, having no other option she picked up the bag and halted a cab back to the hotel. Thinking about it, the probably good thing that had happened to her during this week was Amber coming to New York and booking the hotel room three days in advance, she had just been dealing with different scum including the one that she was dealing with right now in a week alone. She went straight into her room once she came out of the cab, the bag that contained her personal stuff from the office wasn't a bit heavy so she was quick about it. Without hesitation this time once she placed had her stuff dropped on the bed she placed a call to bank since she want the issue with the bank as resolved as possible since she had a bad feeling about the overall situation especially when Dave was involved, it took a while before she was assigned a system operator and she made her compliant " I want to make a inquiry into a joint
Ken nodded and waited for John to seated before he spoke he was naturally surprised at the speed Dave lawyer came but since it was normal for lawyers to make several trips to the police station was understand " my client want to understand why her not allowed access to the company that she owned with Mr Dave and she was even refused access to her join account which they created together, I want a proper explanation if not you won't be getting a only a divorce paper in court I sure you understand the gravity of you client action which is lot of jail time"Sophie admired how Ken was handling the situation but her trouble far far from over, John still maintain a calm face as he replied " I told you before I representing the Black family which in simple terms Mr and Mrs Black, my client would be reclaiming all the possession including the company,credit and and your house since it was registered in my client name.." John took a short pause and began to removed some file from his bag before
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
