Win Your Heart

Chapter 227 So Near And Yet So Far

After Victor left Karl and Grace's house, he didn't want to go back to work, so he went back to his own home directly. Seeing him, Web and Zelda knew that he was in a bad mood. They didn't say much but do their job well.

When Victor went upstairs, the bedroom became empty since all Sophia's things didn't exist. It was like that his heart had been empty too!

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Victor gently rubbed the place which Sophia had spelt on. There still had Sophia's smell. But Sophia had disappeared!

Victor suddenly thought of the defiant look in Sophia's eyes after the love making last night. It turned out that she had already made up her mind to move out and leave him! But he didn't realize it at all. He just let her go!

Then Victor took out his phone and dialed Sophia's number again. Just as he had expected, the cold female voice said, "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off. Please redial it later." Victor threw his phone on the bed irritably. The phone rolled a few times and then stopped by the bedside.

Victor took off his suit jacket. When he recalled the scene that she got his suit jacket with a smiling face and hung it carefully for him, he felt heartbroken. He threw it aside irritably and loosened the tie in his hand. Leaning against the head of the bed, he muttered, "Sophia. How long are you going to hide from me? All your life? How could you... Leave me alone! "

At dusk, it began to rain. There were few raindrops this year in S City during the rainy season. And in the fall, it seldom rained. It had been a cloudy day and the rain finally came! It was rare to see such a heavy rain in S City at this season.

Victor walked to the balcony. Raindrops were falling and smashing the window and formed circles of water which followed from the glass. Now the days were short, and the weather was cloudy. So it was

already dark outside. Everything outside the window was hazy in the rain. In the dim room, Victor could only vaguely see the outline of all the furniture.

The wind and rain outside the window were very noisy, but the world inside the window was extremely quiet. In such a quiet environment, Victor missed Sophia more. Sophia. Where are you now? Did you get wet in the rain? How worried I was when you were not by my side? With that on his mind, Victor took a cigarette and lit it up.

At the same time, Sophia was standing beside the bed, listening to the rain outside the window. It was storming along with the rustling sound of leaves. In such a heavy rain, those broken leaves on the branches would probably be into the dusty tomorrow morning. A beam of light flashed through the sky, followed by a loud thunder. Then Sophia closed the curtain and walked away from the window.

At that moment, the door was opened. It was Rita. Rita shook off the water from the umbrella and shook the plastic bag in her hand. "Time to eat! It's raining heavily outside. "

When Sophia saw Rita get wet in the rain, she passed a towel to Rita and said, "Come here. It's raining. You don't need to be here and I could order delivery." Sophia said shyly.

"Sophia. Do you know how much I am worth? I'm here to deliver food to you. Can you afford the takeout? " Rita blinked her eyes and teased.

"I can't afford it! I can't afford it even if you sold me!" Rita's words amused Sophia. She pushed Rita into the bathroom and said, "Well, you just got wet in the rain. Be careful not to catch a cold. You should change your wet clothes and take a hot bath first. We'll have dinner when you come out."

After taking a shower, Rita wiped her dripping hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Sophia had put the dishes on the table cautiously. When Rita smelled the food, she ran to the table and sat down. She took a bite and said, "Sophia. Come and have it! I like their food the most!"

Sophia looked at Rita who kept eating, and then at her slim figure. Sophia shook her head and complained, "It's unfair! How can there be someone in the world who doesn't get fat while eating like this!"

Rita smiled and stuck her tongue out and said, "I have no choice. I'm born with it." Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Rita said, "Sophia. I want to sleep with you tonight."

"What?" Sophia heard Rita say the ambiguous words, the last sip of soup almost came out from Sophia's mouth.

"What? You don't want to do that! It's raining cats and dogs. Are you willing to let me go back in the rain?" Rita raised her voice and looked at Sophia carelessly.

"Okay, as long as Leon has no objection to it, then you can live here." Said Sophia jokingly.

"I don't care his opinion. I don't live with him. Who looks like..." Rita didn't finish her sentence, because she wanted to say "Who looks like you and Victor". When the words were about to come out, she realized that said something wrong, so she stopped in a hurry.

But it seemed that Sophia had already understood what Rita wanted to say. Sophia was about to pick up the food, but her hand stopped and she fell into silence.

Rita sighed. She didn't think it was a good way to escape. So she said, "Sophia. What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" Sophia asked plainly.

"It's just... Will you go to work tomorrow? " Rita asked after some hesitation.

"Sure. Why don't I go to work tomorrow since it is work day? " Sophia answered was so natural.

Sophia's answer surprised Rita so much and Rita said. "Then... Then you will meet Victor, won't you? What are you going to do? "

"I meet my boss when I go to work. There is nothing strange about it." Sophia shrugged.

Rita fell into silence and didn't say anything. It was obvious that Sophia thought that it didn't matter that she met Victor in the office. He was just her boss. No other relationship. When it occurred to Rita that Victor had talked to her over the phone, she was curious about how Victor would think when Sophia only considered his as her boss.

The next day was a sunny day. After the heavy rain washed, the whole city had changed completely. When Victor arrived at the company, he found that Teresa didn't come to work. Probably because of what he had done yesterday, Teresa would not bother him as before. Judging from the attitude of Adam, it seemed that An family was going to break up with Xiao family.

This was not good, but not completely bad. At least, he got rid of Teresa once and for all. He got into the elevator and walked to his office. He heard someone was typing on the keyboard inside. Victor paused for a moment, 'It's my office. Very few people are allowed to enter. The only one who works with me is... Sophia!

Did Sophia come to work?' This idea made Victor excited. Did it mean that Sophia was no longer angry and didn't hide from him? Thinking of this, Victor couldn't wait to enter and meet Sophia. But Victor shrank back the moment he touched the door handle. If... Was he wrong? What if the people inside were not Sophia?

Victor laughed at himself that he was over thinking. There would be no one except Sophia. He was the CEO of the YS Group and always decisive. Why did he even think about opening the door now for a long time? Victor took a deep breath, opened the door and walked into his office. It was Sophia sitting in front of the computer.

"Sophia!" Victor walked to Sophia's desk and put his hand on it. "Sophia. Where did you go last night?" He asked.

Sophia raised her head and greeted politely, "Good morning, Mr. Victor."

Shocked, Victor shook his head and took a step back! She called him Mr. Victor! At that moment, Victor felt that Sophia in front of him so strange. Was this person really the one who would act coquettishly with him? Why did they change so much only after one night?

"Mr. Victor, I have prepared the files you need for the meeting and put them on your desk." Sophia smiled politely and distantly with a normal tone. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Sophia. You..." At this moment, Victor's heart was so painful that he could hardly speak. He would rather Sophia get angry with him than be treated so coldly.

"Is there anything you want me to do, Mr. Victor?" Sophia lifted her head slowly, and she met Victor eyes without any emotion.

"Sophia. What do you want from me? You could beat me or scold me! I beg you not to do this to me! " Victor's eyes looked into Sophia's eyes with sadness. His hands was clenched into a fist.

"Mr. Victor, you are wrong. You are my boss. What can I do to you?" Victor lifted her from the chair and forced her to the wall before she finished her sentence. Victor slowly bent over and wanted to kiss Sophia.

Sophia blocked his way. She turned her head and said, "Mr. Victor, don't... Don't do like that! Please let me go. "

Holding her shoulders, Victor asked in a low voice, "What if I say no? What can you do? "

Sophia kept her head down and whispered, "Then I can only resign and go to a place where you can't find me!"

"What? You are going to resign! Sophia! You're so cruel! " With a bitter smile, Victor let go of Sophia and went back to his desk to check the files that were prepared by Sophia. The documents were well prepared. She behaved like a perfect secretary. She finished her work perfectly and didn't go out of line at all.

Sitting in his seat, Victor felt uncomfortable when he looked at Sophia. His office was not so big. It was so close to Sophia's that the distance between him and Sophia was only a few meters. But now in Victor's eyes, it seemed to be the furthest distance in the world, as far as the horizon.

"Are you tired, Mr. Victor? Let me make you a cup of coffee." Sophia walked to Victor's desk and took his glass, then went out.
