Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Miss Sophie, Mr. Jacobs is already waiting for you in the conference room.”

When I heard that, my heart automatically started beating really fast.

This is it.

“O-Okay. I’ll go there now.”

“Okay, Miss Sophie.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I stood up and looked at myself to make sure I look presentable before I go to the conference room. I was wearing a white office top and black pencil skirt.

Someone opened the door of the conference room for me and I immediately saw Vincent sitting on a swivel chair while facing the glass walls.

“Mr. Jacobs.” I almost rolled my eyes when I called him that.

As soon as I mentioned his name, he turned around and looked at me. A smile appeared on his face upon seeing me. He stood up.

“Sophie.”

“Mr. Jacobs, thank you for accepting our offer. And since you requested us to tour you around the company, can we start now?” I asked him formally.

I was surprised when he suddenly walked towards me and grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close to him.

“W-What are you doing?!

“I miss you so much, Sophie…” He whispered in my ear.

I pushed him away. “We are inside the company and we are in the middle of work so please, act accordingly.”

“Sophie, why are you acting like this? Don’t you even miss me? Why do you act like you don’t know me?” He hissed.

“Mr. Jacobs, please just call me if you are ready.” I said as I started walking away from him but then he spoke.

“Fine. If that’s what you want. Let’s act as if we don’t know each other. I’ll give you what you want.”

He walked past me and so I just followed him until we reached the company lobby.

“This is our company lobby, Mr. Jacobs. We sometimes hold our meetings with other investors here.”

Vincent was just walking and he doesn’t seem to be listening to me. Maybe he got mad when I pushed him away a while ago.

“Now, this is our company lounge, this is where—-

“I want to go to your other branch. Where is it located?” he asked me.

I looked at him. “The other one is just located near here. Would you like to go there, Mr. Jacobs?”

“Call me Dylan, or maybe Vincent.”

“Mr. Dylan.”

“Just Dylan.”

“Shall we proceed now? We have our company car, they can send us there. This way, please…”

“We’re going to ride my car. You can just tell me the directions.”

I nodded. “Okay, Mr. Dylan.”

We started walking towards his car. I was about to sit on the backseat but then he suddenly spoke. “Why are you going to sit there? Am I your driver?”

I rolled my eyes and just do what he wants because for sure he won’t stop talking if I don’t obey him.

No one was talking while we were on our way to our other branch. Although I feel awkward because Vincent keeps on glancing at me through the rearview mirror.

“How are you now?” He suddenly asked me.

“I’m fine. I am definitely fine as you can see.” I answered.

He nodded. “That’s good then. That’s so good to hear.”

“How about you?”

Vincent looked at me for a while. “I’m good. But not so good since you’re not with me anymore.”

“I think we’re already here.” I said just to change the topic. “Oh, yes. We are already here, Mr. Dylan.”

I immediately stepped out of his car. We went inside the Felestine Boutique while he was just following me.

“This is our biggest branch, actually. Here, you can see our best designs and would you believe me that Taylor Swift already wore this red dress?” I told him while he was just staring at me.

I continue walking around the boutique while explaining every detail to him that I bet he doesn’t really give a damn with.

“Now, we’re heading down the stock room.” I said while we were descending the stairs to the stock room. Vincent was just following me.

I got surprised when he suddenly closed the door behind me as soon as we got there. “W-Why did you lock the door?”

“Sophie, I want you to talk to me.”

“Please, open that door.”

He was leaning at the door so there was no way I could get there without going near him.

“I said talk to me first.” He repeated.

“Then talk. I will listen to you. Go on.” I said while I was getting pissed off.

He heaved a deep sigh before talking. “About what happened during your—

“How many times do I have to tell you that it was already done? There’s no point in talking about the past because we can’t bring that back anymore! Can’t you see that I’ll already happy with what I have now, Vincent? Can’t you see that I’m already happy without you?!”

“Really? You’re happy without me?”

“Yes! I’m so happy without you!!”

He nodded as he clenched his jaw. “So, that means you don’t love me anymore?”

I wasn’t able to speak immediately.

Damn it.

“See? You can’t even answer me. Because the truth is—

“I don’t love you anymore! Is that what you want to hear? I don’t love you anymore, Vincent! I don’t—

And before I could even speak, Vincent suddenly grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close to him.

“Then let’s see if you’re telling the truth.” He said before he crashed his lips into mine.
