Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“She is Sophie Laurens.” Lance introduced me to a brunette in her 30s wearing a pink chiffon dress. Based on Lance, her name is Thea and she is the one who assessess the new models who wants to be part of their team.

I quickly smiled at her and bowed. “Hi, I am Sophie Laurens and I would like to be one of your models here.”

“Do you have any experience in modeling before?” She asked without wearing any emotion on her face.

“I haven’t done it before. This is actually my first time.” I answered.

She nodded as she continue scanning my whole body. “Can you turn around?”

“Y-Yeah…”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

I turned around as what she has said and I couldn’t also help myself from trembling since it feels like she was assessing every inch of me and my soul.

“I like your face, your height, and the way you dress. You are in, your training will start tomorrow.”

My eyes widened as I looked at Lance. Then I looked at Miss Thea again.

“Really? I can work here in your company?!”

“Of course, especially because you are recommended by Lance.” she smiled.

I nodded while smiling too. “Thank you so much, you’ll never know how much this means to me…”

“You are very welcome, Miss Laurens. You just have to go here tomorrow at eight o’clock and you’ll finally start training.”

“Thank you so much. I will go here tomorrow.” I said.

“Okay, see you tomorrow then.”

After that, Lance and I decided to finally leave the company.

“I told you, you are going to get in.” He said.

“We are not sure, maybe they will assess me even more tomorrow.”

He shook his head. “You are already in, that’s what she said. That means you are already their official model. All you have to do is to train.”

“Lance, thank you so much.”

“Tch. I already told you that you no longer have to thank me, right? You still have to be the best model in town. I will wait for that to finally happen first.”

I laughed. “You are dreaming too big for me.”

“Sophie.”

“Hmm?”

“N-Nothing. Should we celebrate now? Maybe let’s have some coffee?”

I nodded. “Sure, I’d love that!”

“Let’s go.”

Vincent’s POV

“Boss, won’t you go near her?” George asked me while we were looking at Sophie and Lance who were walking down the street while smiling at each other.

Looks like she’s learning how to smile again with Lance. I wonder what they are talking about.

“George, let’s go now.”

“Okay, boss.”

I will fulfill my promise, I will give her time. I will let her do whatever she wants until she’s ready to face me again. I don’t want to force her so I will just let her be free.

My phone started ringing again.

It was Monica.

I don’t even know why she keeps on insisting herself to me when she already has my brother. Or maybe they broke up already.

I didn’t answer the call so she texted me instead.

From: Monica

Vincent, I will wait here no matter what happens. I am waiting here at the coffee shop.

Damn it, she won’t really let me get away with this.

“George, let’s go to Tulips Coffee Shop.”

“Yes, boss.”

I will end this shit with her. I will make things clear.

As soon as I entered the coffee shop, I saw Monica sitting there with a smile on her face while looking at me. I walked towards her and she ran into me and hugged me tightly. “Oh Vincent…. I missed you so much… My Vincent…”

I gently pushed her away. “Monica, what do you really want from me?”

“Don’t you want to take a seat first? Let’s have some coffee.”

“I don’t have time for that. Just tell me what you want to talk about.”

“I want to talk about us, Vincent. Let’s start over again, I want to be with you. I don’t love Lance.”

“What?”

“You are the only man that I want, Vincent. Please listen to me, I love you so much. Please just be mine…”

I furrowed my brows at her. “Monica, listen to me. I don’t love you anymore. I have my wife and I love her. I love you too but just as a childhood friend. I am so sorry but I no longer have feelings for you. For all those years when you were in other country, my feelings slowly disappeared too. Especially when Sophie came. She’s the one that I love now, Monica. I hope you understand that. And I know for sure that you are going to meet a guy who will love you back.”

“No, you can’t do this to me, Vincent…. You can’t do this to me.”

“Please, Monica. Stop doing this, okay? I still have so many things to do so please prioritize what you need to do too. Goodbye. This will be the last time that I will meet you.” I said then I finally started walking away from her.
