Chapter 114: RICHARD
I watched her rise, her expression and her motions lacking the enthusiasm I felt.
You would think she would feel ecstatic. Here I was offering her fame, respect, a chance to learn from the very best, a position like no other in Wellington Fashion Headquarters nonetheless, and most importantly... a choice. Something she seems to be seriously lacking recently.
She reached the printer and took the slips as if they were some sort of infectious substance.
Sofia was odd. Weird even. And very hard to read at times, like now. What was wrong? What’s with the act? Like what the fuck was it this time?
Of all the reactions I expected from her, this... docile act was the least of them. And worse, I had no clue why she was being so weird. I really wished I could read her, perhaps then I could decipher what was wrong and find a way to curtail it before I make it worse.
She was like that. A little thing could spark her. She was like a child, a child prone to tantrums. A slight mistake or misword could agitate her.
If other girls were anything like her, then it’s a relief I’m hiring her. I will be needing a weirdo to deal with 15 weirdos like herself.
Apart from Mel, I haven’t dated anyone else that long. I can’t even say I’ve ever dated since then. They are more like flings. Casual flings. No feelings attached. Well except Rosa, of course. The bitch didn’t understand what we had, she had to go and fall for me and make me the villain when I didn’t reciprocate her feelings.
Actually it’s not just Rosa, almost all the girls I have been with always fall. Some sooner than most. Some were great at hiding it. But they always fall. They always do.
I keep them even after they’ve fallen, but as soon as I find myself developing even the slightest hint of emotion, I disentangle myself ASAP.
With that MO, we don’t get to spend much time knowing each other, other than, sexually. That’s the part of females that I think I can say nothing surprises me anymore.
But one thing was certain, when she saw the benefits. She will have no choice, but to agree.
