All Chapters of The Billionaire's Redemption: Chasing Her Back : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

SOPHIA “Are you leaving now?“ I asked Zara as I walked into the living room, pulling my hair into a ponytail. She looked up at me as she tied the last of her shoelace. A smile spread across her face.“Yeah,”“Can I get a ride?“ “Of course,”Minutes later…“How was the gathering last night? I didn’t know you’d come so late and I slept early,”I looked out of the window, sighing, as the memories of last night came flooding in, my argument with Mom, me lying about getting a job, Ryan coming to my help, and now the tight spot I was in.It was one pretty long night.“I told you they were going to try to scout me one way or the other and I wasn't wrong, ““So what did you say?““I told her I got a job,” I turned to her just as she did, surprise etched on her face.“Wait, did you?“ I laughed and turned away from her. “Of course not,”“But I got an offer to work somewhere,” I added as my mind drifted to Ryan handing over the business card to me.“Really? Where? What kind of work? “Will y

SOPHIAI bit the inside of my lips, scoffing silently. I raised my hand to run it through my hair, my back still turned to them.“Mr Adams, I think it's understandable she refuses at first-”I turned around immediately, Lucas paused when he saw the frown on my face.“Understandable?“Right. I was not going to direct my anger at him, he was probably just following his parent's orders like mine wanted me to.I turned to my mother.“I was going to respect that we have an outsider here,” I began slowly.“Honestly, tell me, how long have you been planning this?“She hesitated for a while. Shockingly. I've never seen her hesitate this way, not in my presence. “Two years after you left,”My jaw dropped. “Even when you knew I was in a relationship leading to marriage?““And where is that relationship now?“ She fired back.I scoffed loudly, taking a step back to process her words.Times without numbers she makes it clear every day what I meant to her. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.“You know, I

Two days laterSOPHIA“Are you sure about this?“ Zara asked for the umpteenth time as she pulled the car to a stop in the parking space.I smiled. “I mean, it could go absolutely wrong and it could not,”She parted her lips to speak but I beat her to it.“But whatever happens, I know for a fact that I'd rather not work for my parents,” She sighed. “I'm just worried, all that has happened between you both,”I smirked. “You know I'm very good at not mixing business with pleasure,”She laughed. “Yeah yeah. Have a wonderful first day and I hope this works out for you,”I nodded, held my bag, and alighted the car.I waved as she backed up and drove out.“I hope this works out too,” I muttered to myself. “Wow,” the words escaped my lips before I could even stop myself. Just from the building outside, my expectations for the interior had been high, but seeing this, it just blew it to the sky.The interior had a futuristic design. One thing I noticed was the countless plants that adorned

SOPHIA“So what do you think of your first meeting in RSC?“ Rose asked as she fell into steps with me.I reduced my pace. “It definitely feels challenging, but…” I trailed off.“I really love the idea of the game. I love the concept, too,”“Right? I feel that too,” She exclaimed, and I smiled.“That's right, I'd love to see some of your artwork. Do you have them with you?“I hesitated for a while and then nodded. Like I told Ryan, I hadn't drawn in years except sketches of new outfits. Right now, I wasn't even sure if I hadn't lost my touch or if I even still had my art designs. But was I supposed to tell Rose that? She'd probably be wondering how I got the job, and if anyone found out I somehow knew Ryan, I'd be tagged as a nepo baby who could get whatever she wanted without being qualified.“All good,” she replied.“Do you want to get lunch now?“I glanced at the time on my phone and then nodded. “Yeah, but first I need to get something in the office. I'll join you,”She nodded.

SOPHIA“Girl, what the heck?“ Zara exclaimed as I pulled open the door for her to come in.I made sure no one was in the hallway and quickly slammed the door shut.What even was the use? He already knew I lived here, it wouldn't be long before he found out my exact apartment. “How did you not realize? You didn't see him any of the time you came to check it out or move your things?“ Zara asked as she took off her shoes beside mine.“How would I know?“ I cried out in frustration.“Oh, that's right, he moved here two years ago,” she replied.She walked into the living room and her reaction was totally expected.“Wait, this is prettier than I imagined,” she exclaimed and I giggled. I moved to the kitchen to prepare a drink for her while she checked out everywhere. When she was done, she joined me in the kitchen.“And it was half the usual price?“ She asked as she leaned on the wall beside me.“Right? I find it suspicious but I mean, I signed the papers and nothing weird was in the contr
