Chapter 21: Offer 2
Monty followed Sophia into her apartment. Immediately after the door was closed, Monty’s playful manner turned serious. She looked fiercely at Sophia. She said, "Tell me the truth," "What is going on? What is the duration of your involvement in this matter?
Sophia was stunned by Monty’s frank questions. She tried to avoid talking about it. In an attempt to sound casual, she stated, "There is nothing going on." "We just talk as we always do. Furthermore, I do not find Adam attractive. How many times do I have to tell you that?
Monty merely grinned. It was a smile of knowing. Her response was, "I do not think so," "I have never seen you so curious about anyone else."
Sophia reddened. She averted her eyes from Monty’s piercing stare. "It is because he is so hardworking," she stated. Even she thought the excuse sounded weak.
Monty chuckled. According to her, "a lot of people are hardworking," "That is not it."
Sophia gently pulled Monty away. She declared, "I do not want to talk about this," To change her clothes, she fled into the restroom.
To herself, Monty grinned. She addressed the bathroom door that was closed, saying, "I know you are starting to have feelings for Adam," "Just remember if something happens between you two you have to tell me." There was no response from the restroom. Grinning once more, she walked out of the flat, gently shutting the door behind her.
Within the restroom Sophia propped herself up against the door. Her heart was pounding rapidly. Monty was correct. She was beginning to feel something for Adam. She was no longer able to ignore it.
Since the beginning, she had been attracted to him. His mournful eyes, his unwavering work ethic, and his quiet drive. She was drawn in by something about him.
She had attempted to brush it off as admiration. However, it went beyond that. She was concerned about him. She was concerned about him. Additionally, she had not anticipated feeling jealous after witnessing him converse with another girl, even for a little minute.
