Chapter 137: RICHARD
Memories of the time, Sofia shoved her way into the elevator drifted through my mind as I approached the elevator.
I almost expected her to shove her way in just as the elevator was closing. But that didn’t happen. The elevator closed and my ascent began. The other elevator rose almost immediately.
As I rose higher and higher, I wondered if the bitch Sofia was already here or would she be waiting until it was 8am before she would start coming.
For her sake, she better be here already. As it is now, any mislap from her end adds to my thirst for revenge. And her sins were already surmountably drying up my parched throat of vendetta.
For the first time I found myself wondering what would have happened if she didn’t shove her way into my elevator, of course I wouldn’t have known her, as I do now. Because clearly I would have treated her like every other applicant, there wouldn’t be any extra tests, no quest to make her pay, no anger to work with.
And without all these things, I wouldn’t have known her reading ability, or taste her defiance. Though I doubt she wouldn’t display her restiveness even on the course of an ordinary interview.
She would have been let go like all the others. I would have hired Cole and sort of a way to deal with my selection problem.
Thinking about all these made it seem like meeting her the way I did had its perks, but they came with baggage. Loads that I wonder if it was worth it all. Or would my life be simpler if she hadn’t shoved her way into my ride?
The elevator dinged open before I could weigh that possibility. Picking up my case, I exited. Normally, Lanke would have been the one to bring it up, but I was aiming to beat Sofia at the time I gave her. So, I had left the car with my case.
The hallway was empty, not even Vera had come. And that means Sofia wasn’t here yet. Cause if she were, she would be waiting for me just outside my office, but she was nowhere in sight.
"Good morning" someone greeted, as I reached for the biometric scan to open my door. Not just someone, I would recognize that voice even in my dreams, it was Sofia pissing Blake.
Startled, I lost hold of my case.
