Chapter 20
.
Two days later, Sophie patiently waited for the driver to come and pick her up for the manicure and pedicure session with Cassie at the mall like Chris had reminded her about in the morning.
He had woken her up with sweet words so she wasn’t angry he messed with her precious Saturday morning sleep. That’s the only day she doesn’t have to wake up early and start getting ready for school or work. But his call had woken her up and she was about to start blowing some vocabulary at whoever it was before his deep voice said “Good morning beautiful” She blushed instantly.
Even though they had parted ways the way they did, she still manage to miss him a lot much to her horror. She was even checking her phone from time to time waiting for when he will call her but refused to call him herself.
The game is childish she knows, and if he is not calling her then he is busy. It’s not as if he is her boyfriend, why should she care? Kayla went out already leaving her bored in the house. She wore a blue spaghetti strap blouse on a pair of pencil jeans pairing it with a crop jean jacket. She wore one of her mother’s old necklaces with a pair of stud earrings.
She heard a knock on the door, still wearing the fluffy flip-flops she rushed to open the door even though she wasn’t expecting a physical visitor. It would only take Chris’s driver a phone call to notify her that he was there.
She opened the door a little to reveal a young man carrying a big white box decorated with a pink ribbon.
” Good afternoon ma’am. Are you Miss Harris?” the man asked and she nodded her head politely.
” This is for you, can you please sign here,” he said politely, giving her the box which she eyes with a raised eyebrow but put behind her door before signing on the paper he gave her. He left after telling her to have a nice day.
She picked up the big box, slightly heavy and she wondered what was inside. She put it on her bed before opening the box carefully. She found four boxes of different sizes inside the large box. She already knew whom it came from when she opened the first box. It contains a pair of black high heels and they look madly expensive.
Her jaw almost dropped when she opened the second box, inside of it was a pretty long black gown with a slit. She removed it and hold it against her body facing the mirror. From the neck of the gown to the sleeves is a nude fabric that matches her skin tone which will give an illusion that it is sleeveless. The breast cup was decorated with black soft feathers that extended to the shoulder part. From the beginning of the slit to the ankle was a see-through black net fabric while tightly decorated laces adorn the other part of the dress. She loved the dress instantly. Is this Chris’s way of saying sorry? She laughed at the thought. That man is something else.
The third box is smaller, it looks like a jewelry box and she was right. The box contains a silver necklace with a moon-shaped pendant and a pair of dropping silver earrings with small moons that matches the pendant. She smiled at how beautiful they looked. Who knew that brooding billionaire had a nice taste?
The fourth box contains a set of expensive perfumes and three sets of Victoria’s Secret lingerie in different colors. She tried all of the perfumes and was not disappointed with the nice scent. She was too shy to even touch the lingerie so she left them. Inside the perfume box is a small note written by Chris.
I’ll be delighted to see you at this event tomorrow. The thought of seeing you in that dress? Damn!
She blushed at his Words, she is probably the luckiest sugar baby in the world right now. This man is just the best. She dialed his number instantly still blushing, he picked up.
” Do you like them?” he said immediately after he picked up the call. She could hear his smile.
” Like them? I love them! Thank you so much” She said excitedly, the sound of her voice was music to his ears.
” The thanking will be done when I’m removing them from your body,” He said turning her to an instant tomato. That man is something else, and why is there a butterfly in her tummy?
” So you don’t want to see me in them?” She asked with a pout. He laughed at her question.
” don’t get me wrong baby girl. I’ll love to see you in them but it will be the same amount of pleasure removing them” He replied with the same sultry tone he used earlier.
” Mark will soon be there to pick you up for the manicure session” He added making her furrow her eyebrow in confusion. Oh, Mark must be the driver, he had picked her up on different occasions and she did even bother to learn his name. She faces palmed herself.
“Okay, I’ll be expecting him. Thank you once again for the dress I appreciate it” She said with a smile.
” You’re welcome, sweetheart. I’ll see you tomorrow” He said before ending the call and her stomach made a summersault again. What’s with the endearment now? She can even get used to all this treatment. The thought of them ending whatever it is going on between them is scary and she shrugged it off dumping that thought at the back of her mind.
Her notification sound dinged again notifying her that the driver was around. She kept the box in her section of the wardrobe carefully. She picked a pair of Nike sneakers among the ones Chris had bought for her at the mall, then after that, she locked the door behind her strutting downstairs to meet the driver.
As usual, the drive was quiet to the mall, he hardly speaks and she appreciates it allowing her to wallow in her thoughts.
She felt more confident entering the mall now because she is also wearing suitable clothing to blend in. She tried hard to remember Martin’s store or Cassie but she was having a hard time locating Martin’s store.
She kept on walking until she saw the man walking towards her. She let out a sigh of relief, thankful she won’t have to look like a fool for long. He welcomed her with a warm smile painting her a picture of a loving older brother.
” Sophie!” The man practically screamed alerting some unwanted attention towards her.
” Hey,” She said shyly, and before she could utter any other word, he dragged her to Cassie’s store. Cassie was not around but her girls got to work immediately. She sat down on a soft chair while two girls started working on her fingers. The experience was very weird for her but she fell asleep since she doesn’t know how to start a conversation with them.
When she woke up, her hands felt strange. Softer and very pretty, she noticed her fingernails have been painted Nude with white tips. She doesn’t know how much she slept but her legs too had been given the same treatment.
Marveling at the treatment she was getting from being with a rich man. She smiled.
” I will be damned if ever I ever let Chris slip away from me” She muttered.
