Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“How was your meeting with Mr. Jacobs?” asked Miss Felestine to me while we were having coffee together.

And I suddenly remembered all the things that happened when I met him last time.

“W-Well, I don’t think he’s interested in collaborating with us.”

“Huh? But why do you think so? Did he say something?”

I shook my head. “N-No… That’s just my guess. I think he won’t accept our offer.”

“But he accepted it.”

My eyes widened as soon as Miss Celestine said that. “H-huh?”

“He accepted it, darling. I was even able to talk to him this morning over the phone and he said that he would like to know more about our company.”

“B-But I—

“I told you, this is going to be successful. You did a great job! Do you know how much I want to collaborate with them? You don’t know how happy you’ve made me, Sophie.”

I smiled although I was feeling really nervous. Why did Vincent accept our offer?

“By the way, honey. You are going to meet him again today. He said that he wants you to be the one to tour him around our company and other branches.”

“W-What?!”

Miss Felestine got surprised by my reaction.

“Why? Don’t you want to tour him around?”

“N-No, it’s not like that. I-I will meet him later, Miss Felestine.”

“Alright, honey. Thank you so much. Oh, and by the way, we will have a ball next week. I want you to invite him too.”

“A ball?”

“Yes, sweetheart. We are going to announce to everyone that you are my long-lost daughter and that you are the new President of Felestine Company.” She said while smiling at me.

“I-I feel nervous…”

Miss Felestine then reached for my hand. “You don’t have to, I am always beside you.”

I just smiled before I finally went out of Miss Felestine’s office.

Sighed.

Why did he accept the offer?!

“Miss Sophie, you are going to meet Mr. Jacobs at 1 pm.”

“Do I have something to do after that?”

She shook her head. “No, Miss Sophie. Miss Felestine cancelled all of your duties today so you could just focus on Mr. Jacobs.”

“What?! I mean, did she really do that?”

“Yes, Miss Sophie. Mr. Dylan Jacobs is our most important investor, that is why we really need to give enough time for him.”

“Can we just assign someone who can go with him and tour him around because… A-Actually, I don’t feel really good today.” I lied while pretending to be touching my head.

“I’m sorry Miss Sophie but there’s no other person who can replace you to do that. And besides, Mr. Jacobs specifically mentioned your name to be the one to accompany him.” she said while smiling at me. I think she knows that I was just pretending.

I heaved a sigh. “Fine. I guess I have no other choice.”

“You can take a rest for now Miss Sophie. You can just meet Mr. Jacobs in the conference room.”

“Okay.”

***

I decided to just go to my office while waiting for my meeting with Vincent.

Just thinking that I would meet him again makes me feel so nervous.

Why does he have to go here again?!

Calm down, Sophie. You need to be brave and face him again. You need to show him that he no longer have an effect on you. You need to show him that you don’t care about him.

“Right! You can do it, Sophie!” I mumbled to myself.

I tried to distract myself from thinking about my meeting with Vincent by having some coffee in the company lobby.

I wonder what he’s planning again. For sure he has something up in his sleeves that’s why he suddenly appeared and decided to collaborate with our company.

Does he think I would really allow him to succeed? No way.

I will never be dumb enough again to go back to him. I will never ever let Vincent become my world again.
