Sophie's POV
"Good morning, Miss Laurens."
My eyes widened and the smile on my face vanished as soon as I saw him.
It was him.
Vincent.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Miss Laurens? Is there something wrong?" He asked innocently with a playful smile on his face.
What is he doing here?
"I-I'm sorry but I think you are mistaken. I am waiting for Mr. Dylan Jacobs, not you. Please get out of here." I said to him.
He just sat on the chair across mine and folded his arms on his chest. "I am Dylan Jacobs."
"Vincent, I am not playing with you. I have a very important meeting with our biggest investor today so please stop fooling around and get out of here." I said with gritted teeth.
"Miss Laurens, I am not playing with you too. I am Dylan Jacobs. Your biggest investor."
I glared at him. "Vincent, I am serious here!!"
"I only use Vincent Hastings as a mafia boss. But when it comes to real business worl
Sophie's POV"What? Your biggest investor is boss?" said Venom when I told her about what happened that morning.I nodded. "Yeah. I actually got surprised too. Is it really true that he uses the name 'Dylan Jacobs'?""Yes, he uses that whenever he's dealing with businessmen. However, he uses Vincent Hastings more often.""Really? I didn't know that.""Maybe he just didn't tell you. By the way, Miss Sophie. How did you feel when you saw him again?"I quickly averted my gaze from Venom. "N-Nothing. I didn't feel anything...""Really?"I sighed."Fine, I missed him too. And I admit that he looked handsome a while ago."Venom looked at me while smiling."But that doesn't mean that I want him back. I'm still mad at him. I just found him handsome and I just missed him but that's it. You know, it's normal to miss your ex after a long time that you haven't seen each other.""Miss Sophie, you don't have to hi
Sophie's POV"How was your meeting with Mr. Jacobs?" asked Miss Felestine to me while we were having coffee together.And I suddenly remembered all the things that happened when I met him last time."W-Well, I don't think he's interested in collaborating with us.""Huh? But why do you think so? Did he say something?"I shook my head. "N-No... That's just my guess. I think he won't accept our offer.""But he accepted it."My eyes widened as soon as Miss Celestine said that. "H-huh?""He accepted it, darling. I was even able to talk to him this morning over the phone and he said that he would like to know more about our company.""B-But I---"I told you, this is going to be successful. You did a great job! Do you know how much I want to collaborate with them? You don't know how happy you've made me, Sophie."I smiled although I was feeling really nervous. Why did Vincent accept our offer?"By the way,
Sophie's POV"Miss Sophie, Mr. Jacobs is already waiting for you in the conference room."When I heard that, my heart automatically started beating really fast.This is it."O-Okay. I'll go there now.""Okay, Miss Sophie."I stood up and looked at myself to make sure I look presentable before I go to the conference room. I was wearing a white office top and black pencil skirt.Someone opened the door of the conference room for me and I immediately saw Vincent sitting on a swivel chair while facing the glass walls."Mr. Jacobs." I almost rolled my eyes when I called him that.As soon as I mentioned his name, he turned around and looked at me. A smile appeared on his face upon seeing me. He stood up."Sophie.""Mr. Jacobs, thank you for accepting our offer. And since you requested us to tour you around the company, can we start now?" I asked him formally.I was surprised when he suddenly walked towards
Sophie's POV"Sophie, I want you to talk to me.""Please, open that door."He was leaning against the door so there was no way I could get there without going near him."I said talk to me first." He repeated."Then talk. I will listen to you. Go on." I said while I was getting pissed off.He heaved a deep sigh before talking. "About what happened during your---"How many times do I have to tell you that it was already done? There's no point in talking about the past because we can't bring that back anymore! Can't you see that I'll already happy with what I have now, Vincent? Can't you see that I'm already happy without you?!""Really? You're happy without me?""Yes! I'm so happy without you!!"He nodded as he clenched his jaw. "So, that means you don't love me anymore?"I wasn't able to speak immediately.Damn it."See? You can't even answer me. Because the truth is---"I don't love you
Sophie's POV"What?! Vincent and Dylan Jacobs are the same person?! And he what? He tried to kiss you?!" Sabrina said as soon as I told her about everything that happened yesterday.I wasn't able to talk to Sab for the past few weeks because she's been out of the country for a while."Y-Yeah. When I brought him to the stock room, h-he tried to kiss me..." I said while looking away."He tried, or you really let him kiss you?" Sabrina asked while looking skeptically at me.I bit my lower lip. "H-He kissed me all of a sudden! I didn't have a chance to push him away!"Sabrina shook her head. "Oh, Sophie. I know you really well. And for sure, you kissed him back, right? And, did something beyond that happen too?""W-What?! O-Of course not! N-Nothing happened after that because I already kicked him in the groin.""Ouch! That hurt as fuck, Sophie! Hahahaha!""He deserves that. And the next time he tries to go near me again, I w
Sophie's POVAs soon as Vincent and I went out Miss Felestine's office, I dragged him towards the company lobby."Why did you tell Miss Felestine about that?!""Told her what?""You know the reason why I left you there in the first place! How dare you made it look like as if I was the one at fault?!"Vincent suddenly crossed his arms and looked down at me since he was so tall. "You should be thankful because I didn't mention about what you did to me yesterday. Don't you know how much that hurt?! You kicked my balls, don't you want to have kids anymore?!"Heat immediately captivated my whole face when he said that. "W-What kids are you talking about? H-Hey, you were acting like a total pervert yesterday that's why I did that. You almost raped me inside that stock room!""Rape? Oh, Sophie. You kissed me back and you even moaned when I touched you, would you call it rape if you yourself got aroused by my touch?" He said while raising one
SOPHIE'S POV"Venom, will you accompany me to the ball tomorrow?" I asked Venom as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a half bath before going to sleep.Venom looked at me. "Of course, Miss Sophie. Your mother will also announce that you are her long-lost daughter tomorrow, right?""Well...yeah. I feel so nervous about that. Then there is that man again...""That man?"I heaved a sigh. "Vincent.""Boss will go there too?""Uh-huh. And I think he's planning something.""He will finally know that you already found your real mother."I sat on the bed. "As if he cares about that.""Of course, Miss Sophie. He cares about you."I looked away and just reached for my hair brush. "You know what? Lance saved me again today. Vincent tried to force me to go back to him again, good thing Lance came, and he pretended to be my boyfriend."Venom's eyes widened. "He pretended to be your boyfriend?"
SOPHIE'S POV"You look freakin' gorgeous, Sophie!" Sabrina cooed as soon as she saw me all dressed up in the dressing room of the hotel, where Miss Felestine decided to hold the ball for the special announcement.I just wore a black Tulle bustier gown with black underlay with two front slits. They also put light makeup on my face and permed my hair a bit.I smiled at her. "Thank you for coming here, Sab.""And why would I miss the most important day in my best friend's life?! Of course, I would be the first one to congratulate and clap for you even though you seem to have your new best friend already," she said as she looked at Venom, who was sitting on a couch.I laughed because of what Sabrina had said. She always tells me how jealous she is of Venom. She said that I spend most of my time with Venom instead of her. And that never fails to make me laugh."Oh, Sabrina. How many times do I have to tell you that Venom is like a sister to me?"
