LOGINCHAPTER 22Sophia could barely concentrate the entire day at work. The only thing she pondered was Mary and how she had gotten fired. She knew better than to mistake Chris’ action for kindness. He was just doing what any other boss would do.But it was the way the other employees looked at her that bothered her. Especially the looks she got when she walked past them in hallways.She sat in her cubicle, trying to pretend like she didn't hear a few of her colleagues gossiping about her. Acting like she wasn't even there.“She probably made Mr white fire Mary.”“Watch her become the next supervisor of this department.”“Isn't it obvious? That's been her goal from the start.”She couldn't take it anymore. She stood up from my chair and walked out of the office, without sparing any glance back at them. They laughed, but that was the least of her struggles.She was in a hurry, barely paying attention to where she was going. She bumped into a figure, causing all of his things to fall to the
CHAPTER 21After what felt like forever, Chris returned with a brown bag filled with food. He entered the mansion and made his way to their room.Sophia was fast asleep, the blanket thrown aside. Chris couldn't help but smile to himself while staring at her sleeping figure. He bent down and tapped her cheeks softly, trying to wake her up. She ignored him and turned to the other side. Chris was amused at first, but went ahead and tapped her lightly once more.“Sophia. Sophia,” he called softly. She grumbled. “Come on, Kira. Can we not do—”Sophia paused once her gaze landed on Chris. Then she recalled that she wasn't roommates with Kira anymore. She lives with Chris now.“Oh, sorry about that.”Chris brought out the food. “Get up. You need to eat,” he stated coldly, not acknowledging her apology.She sat up straight, staring at the meal and trying not to drool. “Italian food?” Her eyes lit up in excitement.“Hmhm,” he responded. “Do you not like it?”“I love it,” she beamed. “Thank y
CHAPTER 20Sophia stood to one side, feeling out of place and completely invisible. The couple showered each other with kisses, acting like she wasn't there.“Come eat,” Mia beamed.She pulled Chris by the arm and dragged him towards the dining table. It was a simple dinner, but it still looked delicious. The sight of it made Sophia's stomach grumble.She'd been swamped with work all day and didn't mind if she ate something, but she knew better. “Here you go.” She handed him a spoon. “Take a bite,” she urged, a grin spreading across her lips.Chris took the spoon from her, staring at the food longer than usual. “You don't cook, Mia. So, I just find it hard to believe that you made all these.”Mia gasped dramatically, clutching her chest tightly. “I have been taking a cooking class and wanted to surprise you,” she said, rubbing his shoulders. “After all, I will soon be Mrs white and can't be lacking in any areas.”Their eyes darted towards my direction briefly. Their eyes met for a se
CHAPTER 19The day went by in a blur. Her day was filled with meetings, working on files, and spending most of her time at the lounge printing different copies of documents. She stretched her arms, letting out a yawn. She was the only one left in her cubicle; most of her coworkers had gone home. She got up, gathered her things in her bag, and was about to leave. Then the sharp sound of heels clicking on the marble floor caught her attention. She lifted her gaze and met Mary. “Oh, hi Mary,” she greeted, still packing her things and barely paying any attention to her.Mary tilted her head. “Are you leaving?”Sophia glanced at her briefly before nodding slowly. “Yes. It's five pm already,” she gestured to the table clock on her desk.Mary pouted. “Too bad. I was hoping you could work on these files and submit them on my desk by tomorrow morning. They're needed for tomorrow's meeting.”Sophia’s smile faltered. “But it's five pm.”Mary's face twisted. “Are you saying you can't work on i
CHAPTER 18Sophia's heart skipped a beat. Chris got off her almost immediately, acting as though her touch burned him. The two didn't exchange eye contact with one another. “You can take the bed,” Chris told her, picking a pillow from the bed. “I'd take the couch.”Sophia almost argued. The bed was big enough for the both of them, but after what happened, she wasn't sure if she could handle being near him for the time being.So, she simply nodded her head. “Okay.”Chris went across the room, taking an extra duvet from the closet before setting up the couch. The couch was big, but Chris was a huge man, and she couldn't help but worry that he might find it uncomfortable. “Is something wrong?” His voice broke through her thoughts. She flinched, blinking rapidly before shaking her head sideways. “T— there's nothing wrong,” she replied.“Turn off the lamp then.”“Oh,” she let out and turned it off.She had been so caught in her thoughts that she forgot to turn off the lamp. The moonligh
CHAPTER 17The wedding was over. Everyone was gone. The venue was empty at this point, but it still lingered in Sophia's mind. She pondered over it, and her mind became a wreck. She was married. She was officially Mrs Sophia Davis White.Her mother-in-law walked up to her. “There's my daughter-in-law,” she beamed. She engulfed Sophia in a tight hug, which almost felt soul-crushing.“You're really glowing. I'm so happy that you're a part of our family,” she gushed, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes. “But don't forget that being a White comes with a lot of responsibilities. So, you have a reputation to uphold now.”Sophia's stomach tightened at the words. It replayed in her head and that was when reality started to set in. She was married to one of the wealthiest families in the city. The spotlight was on her.“Mom, give her a break,” Chris intervened.She just smiled softly. “Thank you, Mrs White.”They walked out of there with Chris holding her hand. He led her to the car and
CHAPTER 11Sophia felt her heart slamming in her ribs, as she fiddled her fingers. The silence stretched through the room and for a few minutes, none of them said a word to each other. She didn't fail to notice the frustration clearly written on his face. The way his jaw clenched, and despite the
CHAPTER 9Sophia was happy that no one in the company knew about her little night stand with the CEO. She didn't even want to show up to work, but Kira convinced me too. She kept talking about how she shouldn't be bothered by it and everyone has sex. It was just some liberal feminism stuff, she cou
CHAPTER 8Sophia couldn't forget the look on Chris’ face after his parents mentioned that they'd have to get married. She didn't want to get married to him, but if that's what it took to have him present in their baby's life then she was willing to comply. Kiran messaged her arms gently. “You don'
