meeting Felix again

"Sophie"

Felix muttered while staring straight ahead. Amanda noticed his unusual expression and trailed in the direction that Felix was looking. Only for her gaze to fall on two figures who were also staring at them with different expressions.

One had black long hair that traveled all the way down to her back with some strands neatly packed in front. Brown eyes with a mature womanly charm radiating from her, she had an explosive body that would make any woman feel insecure and uncomfortable.

The other lady who wasn't as tall as the first had long red hair that was scattered all over her back, black eyes, like the depth of an endless abyss, and a slim but curvy body that surpassed even Amanda's body shape.

Amanda's eyebrows arched together, forming a frown on her gorgeous face, as she inspected the two women in front of them, their expressions weren't so sightful. Especially the black-haired woman. She looked like she was going to lunge at Felix at any moment, the anger written all over her face, easily surpassed that of those who just got scammed of their life savings. But that wasn't really that bothered Amanda right now.

Her eyes drifted off to the red-haired lady standing beside the black-haired angry woman. The lady whose expression made Amanda to be troubled, and judging from Felix's line of sight, she realized that his eyes were locked onto the eyes of the red-haired beauty, and she probably must be the one whose name Felix just mentioned, 'Sophie'.

Sophie's expression right now was inexplicable, with so many emotions rumbling inside her but none were able to access the ownership of her face. But one would not be able to ignore the chaotic storm of sadness and longing that was brewing in the dept of her black eyes.

The pains and cries of thousands of emotions that seemed to have endured the torture of a thousand years.

Pains and longing that had been conjured by just a few words pegged to the strings of her heart as they pulled on it viscously without restraints, neither holding back in the slightest.

Thousand of restless emotions that wished to be released but found no gaps between the shackles that bound them to escape.

Suddenly, as if finally being given orders by the premodia ancestor of temptation, Sophie dashed towards Felix, who was too late to react and found himself being caught in a firm hug by the petite figure of Sophie.

Even Amanda and Kate were shocked by this. Amanda was shocked because of this strange woman's display. Though she had just accepted Felix and had yet to fall deeply for him, she still considers him her boyfriend and seeing another woman suddenly hugging him all of a sudden, left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Kate on the other hand was left totally speechless by Sophie's action, she knew her friend hadn't gotten over her boyfriend yet and was still healing the wound he left behind, but wasn't this sudden act a little…. too much?

For crying out loud, it was obvious that Felix didn't want her again, not only was he not sulking, he was even out on a shopping trip with another woman, a heavenly defying beauty at that.

The anger that Kate had been nursing suddenly grew over to an alarming state as she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, trying to stop herself from doing something unforgivable. Her Sophie had been in pain for the past few days and this jerk, this bastard was having such a carefree life with another woman!!

While Kate was struggling with her own emotions. Sophie still had her arms wrapped around Felix as she sobbed silently, small drops of tears trailed down her face, as they soiled Felix's clothes. But one could not help but note the relief expression on her face. Her face was so calm and peaceful like she had finally accomplished her greatest and hardest task in life.

"Why didn't you wait for me? You left so suddenly we weren't able to talk things over, are you still angry? Don't worry, I promise to meet all your demands, okay? Just come back, I love you"

With her head still buried in his chest, Sophie ranted nonstop.

Felix had an awkward expression as he looked at Amand who looked back at him with questioning eyes, both of them completely ignoring Kate's existence and even the small crowd that was now gathering around them.

After a whole minute of feeling his familiar body and hard chest. Sophie finally pulled away slightly, now looking at him with a sweet smile, though the tears on her face only made the smile more heart-piercing as all the men around swore to beat Felix up if he caused the red-haired beauty any discomfort. Feeling the burning and deadly stares of the crowd, Felix didn't dare to say anything rash and only looked at Sophie's sad smiling face with an awkward face, unsure of what to do.

As if just realizing, Sophie turned her gaze to Amanda, who was still staring at the duo with a strange look.

"Hello, are you Felix's colleague?" I'm Sophie, nice to meet you" Sophie smiled at Amanda while extending her hand for a handshake.

Amanda only stared at Sophie's hand before saying curtly "I'm not his colleague, I'm his girlfriend, Amanda" she introduced herself, but didn't take Sophie's hand and just left it hanging.

Sophie's figure froze, her brain filled with the replay of Amanda's reply.

She turned to Felix stiffly and looked at his face with dead eyes, probably expecting him to reject Amanda's claims, but what came next shocked not only her but Kate as well.

Taking a deep breath, Felix looked straight into Sophie's eyes with strong resolves, like a kid facing a final boss in a video game.

He had already made up his mind and he would not let his will waver, not now.

He already decided to end it with her and he was going to make it clear, in front of Amanda, so she could take him seriously too.

"It's over Sophie, I'm done with you, I found true love in Amanda and I won't leave her, not for anything, not for…you," he said quite, loud enough for only himself, Sophie, Kate, and Amanda to hear.

"So you are the unfortunate one he talked about, well, he's mine now, go find yourself someone else," Amanda said to Sophie in an arrogant manner, not minding the expression or state of the latter.

In her sight currently, though Sophie was a beauty on par with her. She lacked the etiquette and demeanor to compete with her, so Sophie wasn't much in her eyes.

"Sorry Sophie, but this is the end of our story together" Felix sighed and pulled away from Sophie's arms. He was about to walk past her when her hands gripped his shirt, almost causing Felix to fall.

Felix became slightly annoyed and flung her hands off his shirt, he looked at her and said with a voice filled with unknown emotions.

"It's over Sophie, find someone else, I am sure you will find someone Soon, don't be such a bitch now, get a grip of yourself," he said with his voice raised slightly.

"But the one I want is you," Sophie protested.

"But I don't want you anymore, don't you get it? You are of no value to me!''  Felix finally couldn't keep his gentle cover anymore and yelled at her.

Still, she wasn't willing to give up and still wanted to protest when….

"Slap!!"

A clear and loud slapping sound rang out as Sophie's eyes widened in shock while Amanda's pupil constricted and her eyes narrowed.
