Chapter 74: I fear no one Sofia's POV I pushed him as hard as I could; I was scared that his fiancée might see us. He seemed surprised because of what I did to him. “Why did you do that? I'm confused; you’ve been staring at me the whole party, and it is making me uncomfortable,” his expression suddenly changed, and I heard him sigh. “I'm sorry, it's just that you look like someone I knew before. You look like her; I just missed that person,” he messed his hair up and glanced at me before leaving me behind. I was left puzzled by his words. What is he talking about? I just introduced myself to him earlier. What's with his action? Why did he do that? I was about to run after him to ask him, but then I bumped into someone; my purse fell to the floor, and I hurriedly picked it up. “Oh my gosh, I'm really sorry; I didn't see you coming,” I apologized to the lady in front of me. She seemed shocked when she saw me; she didn't even say a word. “Ma'am, are you okay? Are you hurt or s
Chapter 75: Bridesmaid Sofia's POV After that night, I wasn't expecting Mr. Sterling to contact my secretary, but he accepted my offer to invest in his company. “Elisha, where are the files that I've been telling you to submit to me yesterday?” I kept looking at my table, but I couldn't find them. I forget where I put them. “Ma'am? I just handed them to you yesterday,” she said. She helped me search for them. “Yeah, I just forgot where I put them.” There is too much paper on my table, and these past few days, we've been really busy. “Is it okay if I check your drawer, Ma'am?” She asked, and I nodded to her. “I found them, Ma'am,” she handed me the files. “Thank you; I really forgot about them. Have you checked your email? I already sent the letter and the designs that I want to add to the proposal,” I glanced at the files and opened them. “I already checked it, Ma’am. I also told Sasha about it. I also made an appointment for your meeting with Mr. Charles next week,” I sighed
Chapter 76: Pre-celebration Sofia's POV “You're really improving with your cooking, Ma'am Helena,” I chuckled at what our chef said. “It's because I have a great teacher, I guess?” I replied, making him laugh. “You're not going to fire me, would you?” He asked for the hundredth time. “I won't do that, even if I became one of the greatest chefs in the world. You've worked with my mom for almost ten years, Josh. That's why stop asking if I will fire you because my answer will always be the same: I won't, okay?” I chuckled while seasoning the chicken. I remembered what happened last week. After I agreed to his proposal, I didn't know if I answered the right thing or not. “Helena? Aren't you busy this week?” Mom suddenly showed up and went to the refrigerator. “Not that busy, Mom, because we already finished all the paperwork last week,” I said while sautéing the onions and garlic in the pan. She went to the table and opened a box of ice cream, which made me crave it, too. “Mom,
Chapter 77: Night Swimming Sofia's POV It took us an hour before we could finally arrive at the hotel we were staying at. I even slept in the car, but Alex woke me up when we arrived. “Let me carry your luggage, Helena,” he insisted, which made me glare at him. “What?!” he stopped, asking for my reaction. “That's the first time you've said those words, Alex,” I said, and he just shrugged his shoulders. We went inside the hotel, and I was surprised that the others were already there. They were even looking at us while we were laughing together because of his silliness. “I'm sorry we're late,” I added, seeing that they’d been waiting for too long. I looked at Marcus, and he seemed surprised, but I just gave him a broad smile. I wasn't even aware of the other guests' names, but what's important is that I'm with Alex. “Let's book a room now,” Natalie encircled her arm around Marcus's, and we went to the front desk. Natalie and Marcus would share a room together, just like the o
Chapter 78: Truth or Dare Sofia's POV After that night of swimming, the group decided to have a camping trip at the beach. We had fun last night, and we already knew each other here. I’m trying to wake Alex, but he’s still asleep. I even slapped him three times, but he didn't want to wake up. “Alex! Come on, wake up! I told you last night that you shouldn't drink too much!” I messed up my hair. Georgia’s boyfriend and Hector helped me last night carrying Alex because he fell asleep due to being too drunk. “I'm still asleep, Helena. Get off me!” He’s trying to push me because I'm sitting on his back. “No! Wake up! I'm hungry!” I shouted at him, which made him mess up his hair. “Damn! Okay, fine, get off!” He sounded irritated. “Do you remember what you did to me last night?” His forehead is knotted. “What?! What did I do?!” He became hysterical and covered his body. “What the hell are you doing?!” I threw him the pillow. “What happened last night?” He became serious, which m
Chapter 79: Is he mad Sofia's POV It was already six in the morning, and we decided to go back to the hotel. I didn't see Marcus leave his tent; it was only Natalie. Is he mad? He just walked away last night without answering my question. “I'll take a shower first,” I grabbed all my stuff and didn't wait for Alex to answer because he was still sleepy. When I'm done taking a shower, I just wear a yellow dress. Mom bought this for me last year, and I haven't worn it. It's kinda cute, and this colour really made my skin glow. I went out, and I saw Alex still sleeping. I started to blow-dry my hair and tied it after I was done. I only put light makeup on my face. I wanted to wake up Alex, but I decided to let him sleep. It was already late when we decided to sleep last night. But then, before I could go out of our room, he sat on the bed. “Where are you going dressed up like that?” His voice sounded still sleepy. I turned around to look at him. “Eat breakfast, I guess? Isn't i
Chapter 80: Trapped Sofia's POV I didn't make a sound while he was hugging me; I could even hear his heartbeat. I feel embarrassed at the same time because of our position right now. But I'm too afraid to separate from him. I shouldn't have gotten in this elevator a while back. We ended up trapped here. “Do you have your phone with you?” He asked me, but I just shook my head. “I charged it before leaving the room,” I answered him because it was true. He looked for his phone to call for help, but it was out of battery. He sighs. We can't see anything because it's too dark. I am slightly separated from him. And we both sat on the floor. We stayed like this for almost five minutes, but no one was coming to help us. I hugged myself; at least I had company here; it would lessen my fear. I heard him clear his throat. “How is life being Presley?” He suddenly asked me. I thought he would never talk to me. It made me a little bit calm because of his question. “I have a great mom; I m
Chapter 81: Workaholic Person Sofia's POV Marcus and Natalie announced after what happened in the elevator that the pre-celebration for their wedding was already done. It only takes three days since they told us that it was extended. Their wedding is one month from now. After we went home that day, I also found out that Marcus and Natalie had a fight. Lianth told me. I don't know if it's because she saw us so close at that time. I was just scared, and we just talked about life. There's nothing wrong with it. I mean, Marcus is already engaged with Natalie, and I have no plan of ruining their relationship. I am not that kind of person. I’d rather stay away than ruin their relationship. Did she just get jealous? Marcus and I didn't do anything wrong in the elevator. I feel guilty because of what happened to both of them. I sigh and look at the laptop. “Having deep thoughts?” Alex suddenly appeared in my office. “Not really, I'm just thinking about Natalie. I have no intention o
