Chapter five

Marcus was really tired but he feels better with the two million dollars contract he just signed. He strode into his office, loosening his tie and top button as he walked. He sat on his chair pushed backwards so he could rest a little and settle his tired brain.

" Sir... " He heard Stella said as she was coming into the office but right now he was tired and needs a little bit of rest.

He maid a stop finger and she stopped immediately" drop my jacket and leave" he said closing his pale blue eyes.

Silently she did as he instructed and walked out quietly

"Better" he murmured and settled deeper against his chair

Becoming one of the most richest bachelor in New York was his life long dream. And he made sure he reached the position he wanted without the help of anyone. Not even his rich father who will rather mock him than help him. Sometimes he wished he still has his sweet mother who gave him the best he could even when she wasn't happy about the marriage she was in .....her husband, his own father, the cheater and the one who had so many children outside that he can't even count, most times he wished the old man dead instead of being alive and he didn't feel sorry for his brutal thought. He had stopped being sorry a long time ago. When he thought he had found the perfect woman to stay by his side for the rest of his life, Melissa his one time lover his first and last lover,

He was happy, truly and first time damn happy, especially when she'd told him she was expecting his baby, he had promised her the whole world and would have given her the world truly if he didn't find out later in that the baby was his father's.

The foolish whore had been seeing his father behind his back and the man had made her damn pregnant. He held the grudge with his father for so many years and he's still doing so now, but that had been the end of his love life, he went out, bought a padlock with a key. Locked his heart tight and threw the key in the ocean.

Right now, he was waiting for that woman who will swim the ocean to find the key to his locked heart.

Sophie made her self comfortable on the soft cushion in her mother's parlour. Playfully and skillfully braiding Camille's hair as they both burst out laughing at the funny program they were watching.

" Sophie!! You were supposed to be helping with setting the table for dinner but there you are sitting and playing like a child" her mother yelled at her from the kitchen. But Sophie turned a deaf ear to what she said.

" Camille.....get over here and help me with this" she called.

Oh God! Her mom never gave her a breathing space for a minute. Sophie thought standing up and heading to the kitchen.

" Camille?.....what can she do here.... You do know how to infuriate someone" Sophie lashed

" I wouldn't have called her if you had answered me in the best place" her mother said and scoffed.

Sophie smiled and did the same as she grabbed a tray to set up the fruits.

" How was your job interview?" Her mother asked after a few minutes of silence

" It would have been the best interview ever if I hadn't offended the boss" she said calmly.

" You offended your boss when you haven't even started working?" She said this and busted out laughing.

" Mom!!! That's not funny!"

" You should have thought of it not being funny before doing that.....so tell me, you were kicked out if the interview room?"

" Of course not, the interview went well,just that he may not agree when he review my details..... I'll check for another offer tommorow and see if I'll get another interview with a different person"

" Since your interview went well, why don't you wait and check if they will call you .....you never can tell" her mother said fishing some food into the Fisher and leaving the kitchen to place it on the dinning table. Sophie followed with the tray of fruit and a pack of juice for Camille.

" Mom- mmy....." Camille small tiny voice called to Sophie.

" Yes switty .... Any problem ? " She asked walking over to meet her

" Cann iget a juice with dinner" she asked pouting prettily

" Of course switty. Any thing you want baby girl. Now get up and let's go to the dinning and let me prepare you a very delicious cereal. Ok?"

" Yesss mommy " she answered dancing egarly as they maid their way to the dinning table.

Tommorow was going to be another long day and she better enjoy the little time she had now.
