Sophie's POV
I decided to visit my mother Hannah at the graveyard to give her some flowers.
"Mommy... I don't know what to do anymore... I don't know who to believe... If you are here you'll probably tell me the truth... I will only believe you..."
I quickly wiped the tears in my eyes. "How are you now, mommy? I hope you are doing well there in heaven. I love you so much, mom..."
I stayed there for a little bit longer until I finally decided to stand up.
"I will go back here, mommy..."
I was about to finally leave when someone suddenly arrived, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.
It was Miss Felestine.
"Sophie..."
"M-Miss Felestine."
She smiled then she walked towards me. She kept down on the ground and put the bouquet on my mom's grave.
"I would like to thank you, Hannah. I would like to thank you for taking care of my daughter... I've been away from her for so long... I almost thought that she alre
Sophie's POV"May I know where are you going, Miss Sophie?" Venom asked me as soon as she saw me getting ready.I was wearing a simple yellow chiffon dress and my hair was in a bun. I also wore a simple make up. "Lance and I are having a dinner together.""R-Really?""Yeah, he said he's going to tell me something important."Venom nodded. "I'm so happy that you're finally having the courage to start again, Miss Sophie.""What? Venom, Lance and I are just friends.""But that doesn't mean you can't be more than that." She teased me.I just shook my head while smiling when my phone starte ringing."Hello, Lance?""I'm already outside, are you ready?""Yes, I'll go there. Just wait for me.""Okay."Then I hang up the phone. I looked at Venom with a smile on my face. "I'll go ahead now, okay?""Alright Miss Sophie, take care.""See you later."Then I finally walked outside. I r
Sophie's POV"Sophie, are you sure you're going to be alright alone there?" asked Miss Felestine.I still call her Miss Felestine because I still can't address her as 'Mom' or 'mommy'. She said that she can wait until I can finally call her that.I smiled. "I want to practice talking to our company investors. You always go with me and you always save the conversation for me. I think I wouldn't be able to practice my marketing skills with that. I will forever rely on you.""But I like it when you rely on me."She smiled. "Alright then, I would let you talk to our biggest investor today. He would meet you at the conference room at 10 am today.""B-Biggest investor? B-But Miss Felestine, what if I wouldn't be able to convince him?""Then we lose our biggest investor." she just said as if it wasn't a big deal."But---"I trust you, Sophie. You can do it as long as you believe in your self. Trust me, you can do it."I
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
