Sophie's POVSophie stared at her phone with a sigh. That had been like the umpteenth time that she would be checking it. Still, she had found nothing. Each time she realized that there was not a single news of what had happened with Giovanni at the restaurant, she felt her shoulders and stiff body slump in relief.To be honest, she hadn't thought that it was possible, especially with the number of people she had caught filming the scene the day before.She had also waited for that call. The one her father would bless her with for defying his orders but it didn't come and the entire thing made her very uneasy. She couldn't even work properly. After the entire episode when she had broken down, she picked up and drove straight to a bar where she distracted herself by flirting with hungry-looking men, had a drink to last a lifetime, and then she drove herself home.She had only been very lucky to add style to her drinking otherwise she would collapse with a hangover.Now, she was biting

Tyler's POVTyler sat in shock for more than a second after he walked back into his house. He still couldn't believe it. He was still amazed by the whole thing and that was very much apparent in the way he kept blinking, befuddled.“So, who was it?” His head snapped back toward his open laptop and he shuffled quickly to his couch where he had placed his laptop. He had been on a call with Gabby right before he heard the door ring.At first, he ignored the ring thinking that it was a mistake but when he heard it for the second time, he has been forced to excuse himself from Gabby so he could answer the call. As he stared at Gabby's curious face through the screen of his laptop, he felt like holding up the brown bag and lying that it was an order but he dismissed the thought as soon as it occurred to him. Because of course, there was nothing to lie about.“Who?” Gabby pressed already sensing that it must be someone important if Tyler couldn't speak and was that dumbfounded.“My next-do

Tyler grabbed a handful of mints and shoved it into the pocket of his black leather jacket. Shoving a hand into his hair, he ran it through near the roots to the tip. He was yet to step out of his apartment yet he was already feeling drained. Grabbing his keys, he walked out of his apartment and locked the doors.Glancing at his neighbor's door, he took a glance at his Rolex which was strapped to his wrist and he took note of the time. At first, he thought about waiting out there for her and he leaned against his side of the wall.Ever since they signed the deal, they'd barely gotten the chance to sit and talk. And according to what she planned, this was supposed to be their first date. She was going to hate him for it but he had already gone ahead to book them a reservation at a popular restaurant.He wondered why in his good mind he would allow her to take charge of him the way she was doing. She was still the bratty woman he met. She had done nothing to change that yet and if her h

Sophie's lips tightened in a grimace at the sight on her laptop. Pulling back a little, she started to crack her knuckles while muttering incorrigible beneath her breath. She had been on the same thing for hours.She sighed and her gaze flickered to the man seated on the chair in front of her.“You don't like it?” Her employee asked, sitting up quietly at the look on her face.“Hmm, ” she mumbled as she watched light fade out from his face to reveal a crestfallen expression. “Let me speak, ” she hummed.“When I said that I wanted something different, I meant that you should give me something beautiful, amazing yet DIFFERENT.” She laid emphasis on the last word. “You heard the client. You met then, Roy. You spoke to them. You should be able to ascertain the kind of people they are from your conversation. That's if you asked the right question.” She exhaled.“Now, I don't know what you asked but I need you to think back to your conversation and decide in your mind the sort of design tho

Sophie knew that no victory ever lasted for her. She should have known that. Yet, the amount of disappointment that coursed through her when she saw their text from Mira that morning was enough to have her spiraling out of control.She had meant to climb out of bed and have a beautiful morning by jogging over to Joyce's place down the street but there went her morning mood.She hissed and shuffled out of bed. Sitting up, she shoved her phone somewhere before climbing down. Shoving her feet into the bunny slippers at the foot of her bed, her gaze landed on the hamper filled with a pile of her dirty wears.Groaning because she wasn't in the mood to do her laundry, she ignored it and padded into her bathroom instead. For some reason, she felt very hungry that morning despite having eaten casserole with Joyce the night before.She grabbed her toothbrush, applied an ample amount of paste before she started to brush her teeth. When she finished brushing, she stretched and came out of the ba
