Sophie’s Pov
“The files Sophie, I instructed they be on alphabetical order” Mrs Perry who was in charge of teaching us all we needed to know about the company said to me in a loud stern voice.
“I’m sorry but some of this files were not labeled” I replied.
“Then you should haves checked with me first” She shouted again pushing me aside slightly while she arranged the files herself.
“Exactly what you should have done” I rolled my eyes while I murmured to myself.
I was almost forced to tell her she should just quit if she so much hates her job. She had taken it to vent her frustration upon me and four other new employees that where
Sophie’s PovThe next few weeks went by smoothly. I had successfully adjusted to working at Lightwood, and found a way to deal with Mrs Perry’s drama.Thomas and I got pretty close, he had been an employee at Lightwood for about two years now and he pretty much understood everything there is to know about Lightwood which made my job a lot more easier.Thankfully I hadn’t seen much of the CEO as I didn’t want to be reminded of our encounter and I wanted him to forget about my stupid look on that day.“Heading home?” Thomas asked behind me while I was heading towards the elevator.I couldn’t be more excited that weekend was finally here as I haven&
Chresanto’s PovThe weekend was finally over, I couldn’t be more happy. All through the weekend, mom had to convince me to go on three blind dates, all of which were a disaster.Even when I came home I had little or no rest with Bella breathing down my neck. Thankfully I had contacted someone to help move my stuff to my new apartment, where I wouldn’t have to deal with neither mom nor Bella.I arrived at the office pretty my earlier than everyone as I didn’t want mom to see me leave. I slumped into my chair exhausted.I spent the next few hours attending to a few mails and files I couldn’t attend to over the weekend.I heard a slight knock and then the door
Chresabto’s Pov“And what exactly am I supposed to do with that?” I asked no one in particular “You call this your grand idea?” I turned to Mrs Powell who stood at front of the conference room with the projector light reflecting on some part of her face and body.The past few days had been a hectic one for me, the company had lost so much lately and I have been given a deadline by the investors else they’ll have to pull out and go for our rival company.“What the hell is wrong with you all?” I asked again, this time my voice rang in every edge of the room and I hit my hands on the table angrily while I got on my feet “You had just one job to come up with something exceptional, yet you decide to present me this trash”
Sophie’s PovAfter my grand idea came out a success and the company was back to normal. I had become a lot more popular around the company.I gained much respect from those superior and others at my level. Regardless of the fact that I enjoyed being appreciated for a work well done, I didn’t like the popularity that came with it and the hate from Mrs Perry.“What was my last statement Miss Wells?” Mrs Perry’s voice snapped me back to reality.“Ma” I jumped slightly while I mumbled on some few words. I had zoned out for more than five minutes now and I heard nothing that was said by her.“Ofco
Sophie's Pov"Hurry Rina, I don't have all day" I said to Rina a few minutes after the taxi arrived at her school. Gia had a few personal issues to deal with so I had to drop off Rina at school."Your lunchbox" I remind her just as she was about to get down from the car without it."Ooops" Her mouth formed an 'O' shape while she grabbed it with her other hand and then rushed out."Have fun and be a good girl" I waved at her while she got accompanied in by one of her school teachers.I arrived at Lightwood after about fifteen minutes, I hurriedly handed over some cash to the driver while I rushed out without advancing to take my change seeing that I was already late.
Chresanto’s Pov“Chres? Is that you?” I heard mom’s voice immediately I stepped into the living room “Oh Chres” Her voice got even closer while she pulled me in for a hug immediately she saw me. I stayed in the comfort of her arms for a while until we both pulled away.It’s been weeks since I last visited home, despite mom constantly nagging me to come over.“Chres” Dad smiled at me from the far end of the dining table.“Where’s Chris?” I asked realizing I hadn’t seen him since I had arrived.“Out on a business meeting” Dad replied with his gaze fixed on his tab “He should be back anytime from now” Dad said again, just then I heard the
Chresanto’s PovThe 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. 
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.
