Once she sat down back to her chair she had to admit she was a little nervous about the whole presentation that was happening tomorrow if wasn't that she was confident in herself she won't want even proceed with the whole plan and she had to admit Dave was right she in challenging her up to the task it has been a while since she had felt like this, the alarm that she had before since she needed to do shopping started ringing pulling her away from her thought. Since she didn't answer her mother's call in the morning she sent a text asking her to do a little shopping and a dozen of corn silk tea which she had recently become obsessed with after her recent travel with her travel group that takes place every three months which was roughly four times a year.
Sometimes Sophie felt her confidence was from the genes, her mom always wanted travel around the world but after the accident it was really not possible since she had to manage her limited funds for Sophie upbringing but she couldn't hold herself back now that he daughter was a self made multi- millions that had been certified by forbes itself.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marcus was currently in the CEO seat of the Lucas industry which was technically his grandfather but he was the heir, thankfully he didn't have any uncle or extended family apart from his mother family that he had to attend their family dinner on specific occasion and celebration since he was technically part of the family but there was no one that he had to fight for heir position which automatically side to him but the was the least on his mind he was buried in work. Just today alone he had attended fifty business meetings and ten press conference but he had bail out early of all of them with no exception since they couldn't some his money problem at this point as most of the business proposal were wanting to leech of the family wealth something that he couldn't afford at this point, it was on the request of Butler Andre that he decided to slow it a bit for tomorrow with only one proposal. He couldn't seat back and have his faith decide on what he suppose as Butler Andre making a convincing deal with the lawyer, but in actually fact Butler Andre had gone a long way in complying a huge list of situation girl from respectable family using what he thought to be Marcus choice of girls preference into brunette, body size, appearance and so on but what he didn't tell Marcus that this action of his had cause a stir in the city and he had accidentally activated a hidden clause in the will further decreasing the time limit further. He could so see Marcus Grandfather staring at him every moment saying " you couldn't still couldn't get a wife within a week after you held a auction" although he was rather calm when he was with Marcus internally he was confused ,he knew that they had less than a week before they really lost everything for real, tomorrow there was already a hundred billion dollars set to go to charity a few minutes after midday and he haven't told Marcus the situation Marcus was currently bruising himself in work he was currently looking for a offered that would require someone to pay the Lucas industry a huge amount of money so he could have it emblezzed into a private account while the company will be forced to take money from their storage tank or proceed with the term of contact without the funds since he was basically untouched since basically owned the company in a way but luck wasn't in his way this time as has have found a deal that meets his requirements. Seeing that Marcus was getting a little bit aggressive with his research Butler Andre quickly spoke" Young master I think that we should take a short break, we could go to the Void restaurant and have a meal their and I have let go some of the workers in the Mansion since we are not able to cater for them but we promise to have them back once the situation becomes stable " Since he was a little hungry he didn't hesitate to agree with Butler Andre's request and about the latter part of his sentence he knew that he had no choice since they were currently having to tighten his belt, he almost had Butler Andre carry a lunch box for him to work for food. All the running matter that the family was running on was from huge storage of material they have and the Void restaurant that Butler Andre spoke about was one of the neutral zone that his Grandfather left out of his will since it was owned but his late wife in fact she owned it and use to work their as a chef and it was their first had their meeting place before he turned it into a five star restaurant which he and Marcus loved to go and almost all the chef was familiar with him. But it turns out that this was also his savings grace or else he would be the first billionaire that couldn't afford his meal or pay his bills but think it over again he was actually the first not that they was a list or some sort,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sophie woke up tired and a little late than usual as she cooked late into the night using the ingredient that purchased from the store as her mom felt the urge to eat a lamb dishes which Sophie argue against since she had promise to do so on lot of occasion , she really tired that she totally forgot about set up her alarm but luckily she still had a extra two hours before the meeting that she scheduled to hold with Marcus.Sophie was done hardly done with the meal when her alarm went up and she took it's as her cue to leave " I guess I got to go but the still a lot of time to catch up and about the meal it's would be better to go by normal cream instead of blueberries" Benson gave a light chuckle before speaking " Sophie wait, I actually called you here because of this…" Sophie was stunned by Benson sudden kiss but she she quickly reciprocate for few minutes before pulling herself away from Marcus before it got pretty heated " Now since I'm back and also being a head chef, I can fully take care of both of us and you don't need to put up with Marcus. You said it yourself he is gloomy " It was at this point that Sophie realised the effect of her action with Benson although they were in VIP suite there was no lack of people around that would recognized her since she had been in the news lately too much , Sophie spoke quickly placing her stuff into her bag while getting up leave
Sophie could tell that she woke up pretty late since the sun was very much out and taking in account everything that happened yesterday she wasn't surprised much as she felt a little bit refreshed from the long sleep and she still had a lot of extra hours before the world tech conference so she couldn't be late. Heading towards the restroom for a shower Sophie wasn't bothered the lack of Marcus presences on the bed since apart the fact that they gotten pretty close from yesterday convery that she could tell what he was saying with his eyes from yesterday she also knew how Marcus deal with work so it's wasn't surprising or hard to know. Once she was done with freshening up and was about to head out to kitchen to fix herself some breakfast she got a beep from a unexpected someone which she hadn't meet for a long time Benson he was also the person that help her get out a tight spot when the incident with Dave was still fresh and also help her with the job as a waitress ev
Butler Andre took the initiative on speaking on spotting Sophie " Marcus said he would be back in a moment but I guess we don't need to wait for him when everyone is presence " " I'm sure he won't come since he is always gloomy without exception at the very least we would have a extra plate of meal for us " Butler Andre knew that it was almost impossible for Marcus to miss this dinner especially with Sophie being present and whatever he had going on, of course Butler Andre didn't mentioned it out loud since it would be less interesting as the situation unfold. Within the next five minutes the dinner table was all completed with everyone completely seated and of course Marcus was the last to arrive, Once they were all seated Katherine took the initiative in speaking as the host of the dinner also taking a cup of champagne for a toast " I'm sure the past year haven't been the best for all of us since we have lost something or someone that is which is dear to us but
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It was afternoon when Marcus arrived back at his Mansion with Aunt Katherine with him , she had somehow convince him that she would stay over for as long that his relationship with Sophie reach a stage that she was satisfied or in other words it's would proper to that she was here to give Marcus love advice not like he had a choice to refuse since she would do it anyway without him permission. Marcus wasn't surprised that's he met the Mansion empty since it wasn't hard to figure out that Sophie made plan's to explored the once she was done with making sure that everything went smoothly for tomorrow tech conference, He motion for Bella before speaking " Aunt Katherine this is Bella she would help you with anything that you need and I'm sure you know your way around the Mansion since you aren't old to forget that. Bella who also informed the other Mansion caretaker about the feast that would take place tonight " Since they wasn't any need for
Katherine finally spoke " Come on if you don't tell me everything I can't help but just admit it the little stunt I pulled help you out and I'm sure you know you might be running out of time " After endless number of teasing Katherine was finally able to have Marcus open up to everything, of course she felt the urge to burst into laughter more than ever since beneath the cold Aura he always had on Marcus was totally clueless to love.>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sophie had a hard sneeze unaware that Marcus' recent revelation was behind it, she didn't put much thought to the kiss since she thought her and Marcus already had an understanding to act like a couple in the presence of her Mother. She was finally able to convince her mother to tag along in their trip as Sophie felt she needed to purchase some gown and accessories for the tech conference something worth Marcus status as a billionaire plus she was was itching to go on a shopping spree something she hadn't done in a while, with her knowing
Sophie could hear her Mom fuming about being left alone and how busy she was to give her a grandchild, she didn't comment since it would make things rather complicated so she waited it out for a few minutes till she was done with her outburst before she spoke " Come on Mom, they still a lot of time to do that it just happened that we are busy at this time of the year. " The next ten minutes was spent on meaningless struggle within them while waiting for Butler Andre to return before they dig in for breakfast, Sophie Mom to a minute before she was able to regain her composure from the laughter she was having before she spoke " You haven't told me how the trip on meeting Marcus Aunt went, you didn't even bring it up since you arrived..." " Miss Amber have arrived in the Mansion and she would be joining you for breakfast in a moment " Butler Andre presence but a stop to Sophie Mom words which Sophie use best of this opportunity mumbling all her words in a short sentence " I promise we
