“Hi, Miss. Hanging out alone? Mind if I have a drink with you?”
Sophia raised her head to look at the handsome man before smiling. “Suit yourself.”
“I’m Jacob. What about you?”
“Sophia.” She wasn’t shy to introduce herself.
Even though the wedding was strictly hidden from the public eyes, everyone knew that the Presgrave Family was the richest family in the country. Just entering its name into the search engine was enough to know how wealthy they were. Similarly, the invited guests were surely from high society. Thus, Sophia wouldn’t mind the idea of getting to know some new friends here.
Sophia and Jacob really clicked right from the start, especially after knowing that they had graduated from the same high school. Time flew by as they were engrossed in the conversation. When the music stopped, the night tide began to rise.
She sprang to her feet abruptly. “What time is it?”
“It’s still early. It’s almost 10.00PM.”
“Huh? It’s almost ten? I’ve been out for more than an hour? I gotta go now. Let’s talk next time, Jacob.” She bid Jacob goodbye hastily.
“Sophia, do you work here?” He was curious, for the guests were allowed to enjoy their time the whole night without worries.
“I-I came with my friend, but I gotta head back earlier.” She couldn’t find the right words to describe it as she had no right to attend the wedding in the first place.
Turning her head, she was nonplussed by the unfamiliar environment again. Which way leads to Arthur’s villa?
“Jacob, do you know where Villa No. 58 is?” questioned the distraught woman.
“Yeah. It’s quite far, though. I’ll lead the way.” Jacob was willing to help a beautiful and adorable girl like Sophia.
“Really? Thanks!” In fact, she was a little afraid because the route was deserted, so she was pleased to have company along the way back.
They blabbered on and on while heading back. Although his eyes showed infatuation for her, Sophia was so dense that she deemed it as his outgoing personality. The guests are nice. It’s probably they’re having a blast here.
When they arrived at Villa No. 58, she thanked him, “Thank you for sending me all the way here, Jacob. This is where I stay. Be careful on your way back.”
“Can I see you tomorrow too?” Jacob asked.
“Tomorrow-”
“Why don’t we exchange our numbers? We can have a cup of coffee together someday,” he suggested.
“Sure.” Sophia wouldn’t reject someone who had helped her.
Unbeknownst to them, someone was hiding in the darkness at the balcony on the second floor. Due to the quiet environment, he overheard their conversation.
“See you tomorrow.” Jacob took a few steps back and almost stumbled over a stone.
“Watch your step.” She stretched out her hand to hold him and he grabbed it reflexively to keep his balance.
He let out a wry smile. “Sorry for scaring you.”
Sophia withdrew her hand with a smile.
“Watch out. There’s plenty of stones here.”
“Alright. Bye.” He waved his hands and left despite the heavy heart.
After watching him leave, she took a deep breath and wheeled around, only to find the doors were closed, but she neither had the card nor the password to open it.
“Oh crap! How am I going to go inside?” Her face scrunched up in distress, causing the man to snigger while observing from the second floor.
“Young Master Weiss! Young Master Weiss! Are you in there?” she shouted at the closed door.
Arthur came down in a black pajamas with a glass of wine in hand.
Sophia’s face brightened upon seeing him. “Young Master Weiss, could you open the door for me, please?”
Lying against the door frame, he gazed at her through the glass. “Mind telling me who allowed you to go outside without my permission?”
“I-I’m sorry.” Sophia admitted her fault.
“You’ll be sleeping at the doorstep. tonight. You’re not allowed to come in or go anywhere without my orders.” Arthur’s icy tone indicated that it wasn’t a joke.
“What?” Her eyes widened in shock. Even if summer was coming, it would be very cold at midnight. She was already feeling the chills right now, so how was she supposed to survive the night outside?
“Please, Young Master Weiss. Please forgive me this one time! I promise that I’ll listen to you from now on.” She raised her hand to promise the moon and the sky in her attempt to convince him into forgiving her.
“You’re not that bad. You managed to seduce someone by just heading outside once.” He made a snarky remark.
“We graduated from the same school, that’s why. He sent me home because 1 didn’t know the way back. It’s nothing like what you think,” she explained.
However, Arthur, the cruel man who wouldn’t go easy on girls, couldn’t care less about it. No one could ever persuade or dissuade him on something once he had made up his mind. “Enjoy your stay outside. Mark my words-nothing will come good if you disobey me.”
Although the black silk pajamas hugged his broad shoulders and well-defined body without exposing its skin, his toned abs were vaguely discernible due to its thin fabric. In addition to his tall stature, he exuded a domineering aura effortlessly.
Still, Sophia wasn’t in a state of mind to drool over such a pleasing sight. While he walked to the parlor, her face contorted in displeasure as she had to spend the night outside. He’s so cruel!
There was a table and chair for her to take a rest, but the night wasn’t as serene as one expected. Sometimes, a squeaky cry of a bird and the sight of a cat fleeting from out of nowhere pierced through the silent air.
Under such circumstances, a poor Sophia curled herself on the chair, hugging herself to retain her warmth.
One of the posh villas were Anastasia and Elliot’s matrimonial house. The exquisite yet minimalistic interior filled the place with a mixture of romantic and wholesome atmosphere.
Anastasia was still bathing when Elliot returned after settling some work. Listening to the running water, he smiled lightly while undoing the button’s on his shirt before opening the door to the shower.
Looking at the intruder, she dipped herself into the bathtub. “I’m not done yet!”
“Let’s shower together, sweetheart.”
“You’re going to say that we’re running out of water, aren’t you?” Anastasia chuckled.
