Sophia Parker

Phoebe and I began to search for a new job for me last night. We didn't find anything suitable... yet, but it was just our first attempt. I know we would eventually find something.

On the other hand, today is Friday and I'm on my way to the office, about to quit my job. But first, there was something I needed to do. I thought about this thing alone before I went to bed last night and now I know what I have to do.

Sean is an amazing person and I made a huge mistake yesterday when I turned him down. I can see myself happy with him and he's genuinely interested in me. The whole thing I had with Mr Wilson was a flop. He has moved on and it's time for me to move on too.

I arrived at work and made my way to the elevator.

I will be handing my letter to the HR department on the 8th floor since Mr Wilson is not around for me to give him directly. Maybe they would notify him by email about my resignation.

But before then I went to the 4th floor. I knocked on the door to Sean's

    Adam WilsonSo many emotions ran through me the moment I saw her.But there was one so strong I felt the most.One that made something inside of me explode.I watched her as she closed the door quietly behind her, taking a few moments before she finally lifted her head, barely looking me in the eye.Seeing her beautiful face once again made happiness lodge into my chest. That was when I realised, all this time without her was torture.How could I have stayed away from her for so long?She looked beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous. Everything. My heart swelled in appreciation.Missing her was an understatement. I constantly felt her absence the whole time, like there was a shortage of something in my life. Seeing her now completes me.The silence in the room was deafening as we both stared at each other."Sophia." I whispered, loud enough for her to hear me.She didn't respond. Instead she looked away, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. She looked shy and nervous but still sexy a

    Adam WilsonI threw the cup on the wall and it shattered into pieces. This was probably the third thing I've smashed this afternoon...Still in the aftermath of yesterday's unpleasant situation, I haven't even blinked an eye to sleep. All night I tossed and turned up until dawn. I've spent my whole day drinking, but I'm not drunk.I have work to do but I postponed everything because I wasn't in the right state of mind. Today my main focus was not on business although it was very related to it, it was on something much more personal. A slight clash between the two. My mind was dwelling on something so exquisitely feminine and alluring that I don't know how I had managed to control myself last night and not go to that little apartment in Murray Hill, knock down the door and take Sophia hard and fast!I can still remember how she looked last night seeing her for the first time in a long time. She was better than any fantasy I've ever had.I frowned at the unwelcoming surge of desire tha

    Adam Wilson"You need therapy and you need it urgently. Don't wait till this toxic obsession over a woman finally consumes you. Don't wait till it's too late!""Shut up Mason. I know she's here somewhere. Are you going to help me find her or not?""For heaven's sake, no! Let's just turn back and go home Adam." He put his hand on my shoulder. We were currently in my car, driving through Lexington Avenue."No! Not today. Not on her birthday. I need to find her." I kept on driving."And then what?!""I don't know... I haven't really thought about it.""This is absurd! I'm not going to help you make a fool out of yourself.""Then don't help me, I'll handle this myself.""That will only end up being a disaster. Just don't do it." He said.I ignored him and scanned the street, trying to find her. She should probably be in one of the shops on this street, my men had informed me she was doing some shopping with her friends.They've been tracking her movements the whole day. Apparently, she ev

    Adam WilsonMason forcefully took me for a medical check up because of my fight with Sean and to his surprise, everything was just fine. The only problem was I was out of shape. Too much unhealthy food had made me gain some extra pounds and I needed to get rid of it.This morning I hit the gym before going to work. I need to get my body back and start looking good again... for Sophia.I am 100% confident that she would show up today, knowing the implications of not doing so, she had to.I'm pretty sure she hates me for doing this to her but that was the only way to make her stay, at least for a little longer.Her notice period is going to be 3 months. I have already discussed this with Paul, the head of Human Resources. I told him to do everything he can to keep her working in the office for longer than usual. I also told him to delay processing any documents regarding her resignation like her recommendation, severance pay and holiday entitlements.She can't leave without those.Time

    Adam Wilson"Flowers, chocolates, teddy bears... there's nothing that I haven't given her! Yet she still doesn't approve of me.""Why do you need her approval?" The shrink asked. I wonder how he is a shrink if he does nothing else but asks stupid questions."Because she is the woman I love!!! Wouldn't you want the approval of someone you love?!" I snapped angrily at him.The only reason why I was here in the first place was because of Mason. He ensured that I seek therapy because of my smoking and relationship problems with Sophia but I'm not sure this is working."Calm down Adam, I can see you're frustrated because of Sophia's rejection and your lack of nicotine for the past few hours.""Then don't ask foolish questions.""I asked for a reason. Just take a deep breath and try to answer the question, why do you seek the approval of Sophia?"Ugh! I would have beat up this guy right on the spot. But I'm trying to change... for Sophia."Because it hurts that she doesn't like me and wants

    Adam WilsonToday's workout was intense.It was chest day and I could feel my ripped muscles.Apart from the smoking habit I picked up in Michigan, everything else with my body is fine. I have been eating well and trying to get as much sleep as I can. The shrink suggested at least 5 hours of sleep at night which has not been working out so well.But I'm a working progress.When I arrived at work, it was already 1pm. I'm late but I made it just in time to prepare for the meeting today at 2pm. I had also bought a box of white chocolates on my way for Sophia, her favorite.She is presenting and I can't wait to watch her. This is the first time she'll do so and I could tell that she's nervous about it. I remember the look of terror on her face when I told her to do it. She had begged mercilessly but I had none of it. If she was going to leave in a few months I had to make good use of her to her maximum potential. I'm sure she can do this.I got to my office and rang Sophia immediately but

    Sophia ParkerI knocked firmly on the huge brown doors leading to 'his' office."I can do this." I whispered to myself as I took deep breaths.Yes, I am ashamed of what happened yesterday but I wouldn't let it affect me OR repeat itself in any way today. I'm just going to pretend like it didn't happen. And if he tries to do anything, I'll run out!After no response, I decided to just walk in.I opened the door with one hand, his coffee and dairy in my other hand. I didn't even bother to look at him or say hello but I knew he was there. My body was completely aware of his presence.I carefully walked to the edge of his large brown desk, maintaining as much distance as possible, then I placed the cup as close to him as I could... which was still very far from him."Alice informed me that you scheduled a meeting with someone from AIRTEX today at 10am. It's currently 9:45. Apart from that, your diary is empty. Is there anything you would like me to do for you today?"After reading from hi

    Adam WilsonAfter taking a few breaths to cool down, I heard the doorbell ring.This is it.I opened the door...and there she stood.Looking effortlessly beautiful.Whatever dusky feelings I had before died out instantly because she seemed to light up my entire world easily.She looked up at me and I felt a blast of warmth pour over me.I was so glad that she was here. I don't know what it was, but there was a certain magic in her presence. All I wanted to do was be near her, hold her till the very end and never let her go.She was dressed very casually in an oversized knitwear, blue jeans, and boots. But still she looked amazing. Heck! Everything about her was amazing."Come in." I finally said after my long mental appraisal of her.I moved to the side for her to walk in and when she did, I caught a whiff of her scent. It was probably her hair conditioner because she smelt like a delicious apple...Ripe, plump, and ready for plucking."What brings you here?" I said, getting my thoug

    "Say 'mama'." Sophia mouthed the words to little Ben in her hands, with crazy hopes that he would somehow repeat them.He only stared back at her with his cute wide eyes. They were just as blue as his father's. Of course he wouldn't respond! She thought to herself. He was way too young to speak!"Oh, what an adorable creature." Ben's grandmother chimed. "I can't believe I missed his birth."Getting Adam to reconnect with his family had been an impossible task for Sophia, at first. But when it finally came down to the wedding, Anne González realised that there was no way she could miss her son getting married for anything in the world. She and Chloe Wilson, her daughter, flew in from Spain a week before and attended the ceremony. And it was absolutely magical. The morning session was held in St. Thomas Church on 5th avenue and the reception was held in an intimate suite at the Plaza Hotel, suitable for their 100 guests.

    Sophia Parker "Trust me, this coffee machine is the best! I've never had such good coffee in my entire life.""Okay, okay, give it a try." I laughed."By the way, how was your parents' visit to New York?" Lily asked. She'd insisted I come over and try out her brand new coffee machine. Being in her new apartment made me a bit nostalgic. I definitely missed living here. Phoebe moved in from her old apartment which used to be on the top floor. And to be fair, she'd done a better job with the place than I did. "Ugh! It was a disaster!" I groaned as I put my hands over my face and sat at my old kitchen island."Really, it couldn't have been THAT bad." She placed the fresh cup of coffee she'd just made in front of me. It actually smelled heavenly."Thank you. And yeah, maybe I am over exaggerating a little bit. Overall it wasn't too bad... but at first it was. Adam had a little confrontation with my father." I took a sip of the warm beverage. "Wow, you're right. This home-made mocha tast

    Sophia Parker"Tell me about this one." I rubbed the scar by the side of his knee. "Fell off from a motorbike." He said casually from behind me. His breath tickling my ear."When? And how?""Its stupid. I was in college and we were racing. Sean was there too.""Really?" I scooped some of the water into my hands and poured it on his knee. Like that was supposed to make any difference to the scar!"Yeah... he was." He threw his head back onto the edge of the bathtub and relaxed, his arms gripped both sides."Just our of curiosity, did Sean ever get interviewed for his position?" I asked.While I was at Wilson & Co, I remembered reading his application for the role of Head of Accounting and Finance. When I recommended him, Adam merely laughed. Plus, I don't recall Sean ever getting interviewed. I could bet it had something to do with their friendship. I could hear and feel Adam chuckle from behind me, causing my own body to move in sync with his."Yes, I did interview him." He said."

    Adam WilsonAs I walked into Sophia's apartment building, I saw Alfred sitting behind his desk as usual. He and I have become aquatinted due to my frequent visits here. I remember the first time I met him. I was in pursuit of Sophia, and he informed me that she had left for an early morning flight to Virginia... the first time.I gave him my card to contact me if he heard from her. He eventually did but he was obviously too late. I had hunted her down myself.I exchanged pleasantries with him before making my way to Sophia's."Hey m'love." I said to her as soon as she opened the door."Hi." She replied, with very little emotion.Her mood seemed a bit flat. Wondering why, I took her in my arms and gave her a long sensual kiss, hoping I could cheer her up."How was your day?" I asked. Mine just got better. I was going to take Sophia home with me today. She was slowly moving her things into my house."Crazy." She sighed."Oh really? Do you want to tell me about it?" I asked, tracing my

    Adam Wilson"I'm very nervous! I need you to help me.""There's only so much I can do Adam. I can't be there with you.""At least you could prep me so I don't say the wrong things.""I'm not sure I can do that... I don't know the personality of her parents so I can't adequately prepare you for an encounter with them.""Then you're bloody useless!!!" I stood up and screamed at the shrink. "After today, your services will no longer be needed!"I felt like I was wasting my money! I pay every hour for this man to advice me but all he does is tell me complete and utter nonsense. He's so incompetent! I'm going to get Mason to replace him."Adam? Before you lash out, take a deep breath. There are other ways to deal with this.""No! There's no other way. I'm going to fuck this up and you're not willing to help.""I am trying to help you but you're panicking."He was right, I was panicking. I really didn't mean what I had just said to the shrink. Later this week, I'll be meeting with Sophia's

    Adam Wilson"I completely understand George and we are doing everything in our power to fix this." I tried to reassure the man on the phone but he was fuming."Remember, I gave you till Friday. You have one day left. If I don't have it by then, then you will be hearing from my lawyers." He said before ending the call abruptly."Oh fuck off!" I shouted in frustration as I threw my phone across the room and it shattered into pieces.That wasn't smart because now I needed to call Craig. This was all his bloody fault in the first place! I'm going to have a record of conversation with him first thing tomorrow when I get into the office.I was currently in the study of my apartment at 740 Park. Sophia and I spent our first night here. I was patiently waiting for her to arrive before I was disturbed with that phone call.Using the telephone on my desk in front of me, I dialed the engineering department at work and transferred to Craig's office."Hello Adam.""Don't Hello me!

    Sophia Parker"You're glowing.""Am I?""Yes.""I suppose that's a good thing." I took the last sip of my coffee."Plus, you didn't come home last night." Darn, she knows."Because I knocked on your door twice, including this morning." "What makes you think that?" I said, wiping my lips with a napkin."I'm sorry, I didn't hear. I was fast asleep.""You're terrible at lying.""I don't know what you're talking about." I shrugged."Whatever. So how did it go yesterday?""Oh, it went great.""Really?""Yup.""Did you show him the surprise?""Mhm."I smiled as I remember the look on his face when he saw the 'surprise'."And then... what happened next?""We... made up.""You mean 'made love'?""Lily!" I shrieked."Come on Sophia! It's written all over your face. Why won't you just tell me already!""Okay okay! I'ld tell you."She squealed and I rolled my eyes at her. She's always been a fan of Mr Wilson, and I'm sure she would be happy to hear what I'm about to tell her."So we spent the

    "No, Sophia. Let's do this properly." I carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. She squirmed as she waited for me to join her. I'd never seen her want to have sex so badly before. Could it be a pregnancy syndrome?"Please. I can't wait any longer." She whined.I speedily took off my clothes so I could join her. There was no need to worry about condoms which I was happy about... because I didn't have any.I slid on top of her and claimed her mouth in a deep kiss again, her hard nipples brushing against my chest through the thin fabric she wore. I unclasped her bra and flicked my tongue across her nipples, one after the other. She whimpered as she twisted and turned, digging her nails into my back.I needed to memorize her so I explored every inch of her body. My hands kneaded her breasts, teased her nipples, built up her anticipation until every brush against her skin made her shiver."Uhhh..." She moaned, bucking her hips a little, indicating to me what she really want

    Adam Wilson"Listen, if you don't fix the problem today then I might lose one of my most important clients. If that happens then you will certainly lose your job too, trust me." I ended the call and threw my phone on the desk.I was extremely angry with all the engineers, especially Craig! The security programme they installed for Sytner's branch in Michigan was diagnosed with bugs and this affected their surveillance and protection. In other words, they were hacked! They shut down immediately and now the company is prone to encroachment. I have been trying to fix the problem for the past week but I can't go over to Michigan, I have a lot to do here in New York!I also have a conference call with the board of Sytner group starting in 5 minutes and I don't know what to say to them! The problem still hasn't been identified because we don't have a copy of the software to work with! I managed to have a copy posted to New York a few days ago but it hasn't arrived yet!"Fuck."
