Chapter 141: SOFIA
As I matched to the elevator, ignoring Vera’s venomous glare as she disappeared into Richard’s office, I couldn’t help but smile.
I didn’t even know why I was smiling, but I felt giddy. My life as entangled as it was, for perhaps the first time didn’t look so bad. My life now, it felt unreal. From becoming the billionaire’s Personal Assistant to his weird, but kind offer for me to come live with him. Not to mention, I was to be traveling with him to fucking Hong Kong!
I’ve never been, but the prospect of going to some place new was always an exhilarating anticipation. It wasn’t just a new place, it homed a whole new culture, new people I have never been in their midst before, new things to learn, different perspectives to be learned and of course, I was to experience all this under the influence and affluence of Richard Wellington, who I may hate, but don’t mind calling him my boss. At least within my mind.
It wasn’t just about traveling, he was sorta taking me out tonight, to meet his friends, in another place or circle I’ve never been in. Not even in my dreams, have I reached for so high. A billionaire circle and lifestyle, not even close.
Don’t even get me started on the fact that I was going to change my entire wardrobe. Suddenly, I didn’t mind the billionaire’s haughtiness and his really pissing nature, these privileges will certainly make it all endurable.
The elevator was closing when I rushed to it, yelling,
"Wait!"
I suppose I could have waited for another ride, but I was so eager that I simply couldn’t. How could I possibly wait when I was going to read myself in various attires? What could be more interesting?
"Please hold the do–"
The words and my smile died away as I stared at Cole. He stared back, mouth agape. I had totally forgotten about him. In my swirl of recent events, he had been lost.
"Are you two just going to stare at each other or are we going to get moving?" Harry asked.
Like I was just pulled from a spell, I noticed him standing a few paces away from Cole. The bald middle aged man whom I had gone to a certain length to secure his job was donning a casual dim yellow tee over brown pants.
