Chresanto’s Pov
The weekend went on pretty quickly. After the supposed dinner that turned into a disaster I had come to a conclusion not to attend any family dinner, not any time soon.
Chris and I got to talk and he told him his decision of finding his ex and winning her heart back. For the first time in a long time I finally saw him talk about something with so much passion and I couldn’t wait to see the lady that was behind Chris happiness.
“Mr Lightwood” I heard a voice, which I only assumed to be Sophie’s since she was the only lady allowed to come into my office without an appointment.
“Miss Wells” I called out lightly. <
Sophie’s Pov“Keep it low, Rina” I rolled my chair closer to where I placed Rina “You’re only here because of the trouble you got yourself into” I threatened her, my voice obviously laced with anger.Two hours after I had dropped Rina off at school and arrived at work I got a call from Rina’s school stating that she got into a serious fight with her mate and has been suspended for the rest of the day.I had no other choice than to bring her over to work as Gia was away and that was the only option available.“Sorry” She mouthed softly while she concentrated on the cartoon which played on the screen of her IPad. An AirPod was connected so as not to disturb anyone. 
Sophie’s PovChresanto had called for a meeting with the newly employed and for that reason we were all gathered at the conference room.After lunch, Chresanto and Rina seemed to have gotten even closer. He had asked for permission to spend the day with her and I couldn’t object to it since it was what Rina wanted also.The meeting went on for about thirty minutes. Although everyone was curious about the child with Chresanto but no one dared ask.After the meeting ended everyone left leaving just me, Rina and Chres.“When I grow up I’ll own a company just like Chres” Rina told me excitedly.
Chresanto’s PovThe fall weather was beautiful today. The light breeze prickled my skin just as I got out from my car and headed towards the elevator. The day was unusually bright although it was just past seven in the morning.The elevator opened and I got in after giving instructions to Hank, my driver. I arrived at my floor after a few minutes and I exited the elevator to my office.After I had settled in my office flashes of all that happened with Sophie came rushing down to me. Although I thought everything that happened was too fast, I definitely didn’t regret getting to know a little bit about her.I took out time to sort out messages sent to my email and then responded to th
Sophie’s Pov“Get your ass out of my office” I heard immediately I stepped into Chresanto’s office.His voice was laced with so much anger, his eyes shot red and his body rigid. For a minute I had almost lost my balance as I held the door knob to keep my feet standing while my hands and my whole body shook.I felt the need to thank him immediately I had arrived a few minutes ago, he did so much for Rina and I which made me feel there might be something aside from being just employer and employee but I wasn’t so sure anymore.“Sophie” I heard him call, this time his voice was calm and he ran his hands over his hair in a frustrated manner.
Sophie’s Pov“Can you stop adding more water to the vegetables?” Gia shouted from behind me pulling me out of my trance “For the love of God, do not wash them like you’re doing your laundry” She added again obviously angry.“I’m out, cut them yourself” I said angrily while I got on my feet.I took the day off since Gia needed some help with cooking. They were supposed to have a company dinner but Gia insisted she would cook for them, instead of going to a nice restaurant for something exquisite she had decided to host them in her home.“Why did you even suggest that you’ll do the cooking when you obviously do not enjoy cooking?” I asked
Chresanto’s PovThe shone bright through the curtain as my eyes struggled to adjust to brightness. I rolled to the other side of my bed, yawing lightly. My hands involuntarily moved to rub my eyes which were a little bit itchy.I had a very exhausting day at work the day before, Sophie took the day off and Josh had other issues to attend to. I struggled to get out of my bed and walked lazily to my closet.Just then my phone rang and I answered immediately after seeing that Josh was the caller. I placed the phone between my ear and my shoulder while I used both my hands to arrange my extremely messy hair.“Sir we have arrived at the company” He told me as I wondered why he called to tell me just that.&nb
Chresanto’s PovThe whole of the flight Sophie kept on mumbling words, and the few time she woke up she talked about going to pick up Rina for school, and other times about making her lunch.After we had arrived Australia, I took Sophie to my hotel room that Josh had booked online before we even arrived. After placing her on the bed and making sure she was fast asleep, I left the hotel room.“Sir” Josh called to me immediately I stepped out of my room “Miss Tacha’s insists on having dinner with you” He said to me.I sighed while I rubbed the back of my head in a frustrated manner.
Sophie’s PovI snuggled closer to a soft hairy substance, a smile laced on my unconscious face. “Rina” I called lightly while I tapped around me noticing I was alone in the bed.My blue eye balls almost fell out as I opened them trying to figure out exactly where I am. I rushed out of the bed, my eyes scanning the room.It was a simple yet exquisite room, the bed was so big and comfortable, a sofa and table located at the other end, a mirror and dresser was close to the window.I walked towards the window and looked out of it, the street seemed quite and not one single person passed by in the minutes I stood there.I move
Chresanto’sA smile laced on my face as Elle approached me with two ice cream in her hand. Unlike what I had expected the camp fire festival was totally fun and took my mind off Sophie and Chris situation.She handed me one of the ice cream when she arrived at where I was and then laced her other hand with mine while she pulled me to the game section.“I didn’t know you could sing” I said to her while we walked slowly.Her gaze met mine with a proud look “I was awesome right?” She asked giggling a little.“You are amazing” I replied sincerely with another smile “How come your parents ne
Chresanto’s PovIgnoring everyone else’s greeting I rushed into my office completely frustrated. I had stayed out all night at Sophie’s hoping she would come out to give an explanation as to what was happening.I remembered my conversation with Chris before I went over to Sophie’s place.“How do you two know each other?” I had asked him.“Maybe you should speak to Soph first” He told me while shrugging off his shoulders.“D*mn it Chris” I ran my hand through my hair frustratedly “Is She the Sophie?” I asked again as my mind suddenly began to recall how he spoke about his ex girlfrie
Sophie’s PovMy whole body shook as tears began to gather in my eyes. I felt my legs went weak and I held the table for support.My gaze moved from Chres who had no clue what was going on to Chris who was as surprised as I was “Soph? What are you doing here?” For the first time in six years I heard his voice.I had always wanted to see Chris after our breakup, but never did I imagine we were going to meet like this.“Soph?” I heard Chres say as he turned to Chris “Do you two know each other?” He asked with a surprise gaze on me.I lifted my watered to meet Chris gaze, although I could no long see him clearly.&n
Sophie’s Pov“What? Kiss?” Gia asked above her voice causing me to quickly put my hand over her mouth so Rina wouldn’t pick on our conversation. She had forced me to tell her all that went down with Chres after I told her about our supposed outing with Chresanto tonight.I had told Rina about it and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since then. Although it was an hour to 7pm, Rina was dressed up already.“We didn’t kiss” I told her “We almost kissed, but Josh interrupted us” I added somewhat disappointed.“Whatever, it doesn’t matter” Gia rolled her eyes “You’re going to have him all to yourself tonight, Now let&rsquo
Chresanto’s PovI walked past Sophie into my office, completely ignoring her greetings. It was my first time seeing her since our encounter last week. I had stopped her from coming over to my home and I haven’t been able to come over to work because I still had few stuffs to put in place.In order to change the narrative circulating in the media, Bella and I had to go on several dates all through the weekend, which totally wore me out.I closed the door behind me while I walked to the sofa chair located at the end of my office and I laid on it. I hadn’t slept a wink since last night, since I had to attend to all of my emails and also had a late night interview.“Sir” I heard Jos
Sophie’s PovI paced up and down Chresanto’s living room, as he had requested to see me. I haven’t been able to properly apologize to him since last night as he had refused to even see me until now.It was past two in the afternoon and he had called for me about four hours ago. Because for what happened last night I wouldn’t dare enter into his bedroom.“Miss, are you still here?” Mrs Lukas who I met earlier this morning when I came in asked with a pity smile on her face.“He will be out in a few minutes” I reassured myself more than I said to her.She smiled while she wrapped her hand around
Sophie’s Pov“Stop running around Rina” I shouted from the kitchen for the fifth time. She stopped to give me her usual puppy look and almost immediately she dashed over to Chresanto.Rina came down with a little fever at the early hours of the morning, I couldn’t risk taking her to school as I was afraid it might get worse. So I had to take her over to Chresanto’s place since he agreed to it and due to the rumors I would be working with him at home for the time being.I took two cups of coffee in my hand and walked towards Chresanto who was in the sitting room. Thankfully his health got better overnight. His focus was now on Rina as he tickled her a little causing her to release a long laugh.
Chresanto’s PovI winced as the cotton wool which I had applied methylated spirit to reach my bruised face “Damn Tacha, Damn Bella” I cursed while dropped the cotton wool frustratedly.Immediately Mrs Lukas finished cooking I had ordered her to go home, so she wouldn’t be stucked here when the press arrives.The door opened revealing Hank who seemed to have been running as he was breathing heavily “Sir” He stopped to catch his breath “The press are outside sir” He told me.I sighed “Keep them outside the gate” I told him while he nodded and rushed out immediately.I walked lazily
Chresanto’s PovI arrived at my home and dropped into my bed exhausted, thankfully it was on a Sunday so I didn’t have to return to work.After the game played for some reason Sophie avoided me through out our stay in Australia, she had moved out of my room before I got there that night. I couldn’t help but wonder what exactly I had done to make her distance herself from me.I had to end it all with Tacha, as I warned her never to contact me again and if she wished to meet up for business purpose then she should speak to Josh.I rolled to the other side of my bed and yawned lightly. Giving in to the desire of my heavy eyes, slowly I drifted off into a deep sleep.
