The Adopted Heir Chapter 85
The next morning, Alex went into Sophia's room to discover that she was already out of bed. He knocked on her bathroom door hoping she was there but there was no response. He was confused as to where she could be this early in the morning. He made his way downstairs hoping to find her or at least get a piece of information about her.When he got downstairs, he perceived an enticing aroma from the kitchen. At the back of his mind, he thought that his chef, Anastacia, was already making breakfast. He entered the kitchen so as to inquire about Sophia. He was shocked to see that it was the person he had been looking for for the past few minutes."Good morning Alex. How was your night?" Sophia asked cheerfully, still steering the food she put on the fire.Alex was too dumbfounded to say something. He thought maybe he was hallucinating or something because this couldn't be the same Sophia that was crying just a few hours ago because of stomach pain."Why do you look like you've seen a ghost
The Adopted Heir Chapter 86
At exactly half past 6 pm, Sophia was already on her way to meet up with Alex. He had left the house for over 3 hours now and she had no idea where he went. Well, she was on her way to go and meet him.Sophia was dressed in an elegant burgundy long dress with a high knee slit by the side. Her back was bare but the front was a turtleneck. She went shopping for a dress and she immediately fell in love with it at first sight. She knows that Alex would definitely love it when he sees it on her.About 20 minutes later, Mike stopped the car in front of Golden Spade Restaurant. Sophia alighted from the car and made her way into the restaurant. At the door, a young guy who looked to be in his early twenties ushered her in. He helped her carry her designer handbag. When they stepped into the room, Sophia noticed that the whole restaurant was empty which could only mean one thing– Alex paid for the whole restaurant for the night. She swooned inside of her cos of Alex's doings.It did not take

Throughout the ride home the couple didn't utter a word to each other. While Alex was busy looking outside the rolled-down window and tapping his knees in agitation, Sophia was busy fidgeting and looking at him with worry evident on her features.Sophia fished out her phone from her handbag and started texting Jayden. After all, they wanted to know how her dinner date went.'Jay, I think I may have lost Alex.' Sophia sent it to Jayden.Within a few seconds, her phone chimed signaling a new message.'What do you mean by that? Everyone is swooning over the internet about the romantic way he asked you out. Or wait… are you trying to pull my legs?'Sophia snorted silently at the text message.'Everything was going alright up until we bumped into Kelvin freaking Grammer and the fool had to leak the secret. I thought you said he was a professional?' Sophia could feel her hands curling into a fist because of how angry she was.'Oh shit! That doesn't sound good at all. Just try your best to d

Sophia dreaded going to the board meeting because of so many factors. She didn't want to see the distrust in Alex's eyes cos that would kill her soul and neither does she want to see her cunny father. She had successfully avoided him for the past month. She gave her security personnel strict instructions not to allow her father anywhere near her office. He should always supervise the other staff members but he should avoid her office.Sophia opened the conference room to discover that it was still a little bit empty. She rushed down here as soon as possible after the notification that they all got. She asked Cynthia to wait for her in her office because this sort of meeting doesn't take long to dismiss.She looked around and saw that her father wasn't in the boardroom yet. She almost took in a sigh of relief when the door opened and Alessandro McLean walked in. Sophia huffed and sat down. She took some moments to analyze her father who was making his way towards her. Alessandro looks

After Alex left the conference room and the other members followed suit, Jayden walked up to Sophia who still sat rooted at her seat. She saw the look in Alex's eyes when he looked at her before the meeting started– the look was emotionless and cold, it would definitely take a lot of effort for him to come around.Jayden sat down quietly beside Sophia. She seemed to be lost in thought, so Jayden nudged her gently. "A penny for your thoughts," Jayden said.Sophia came back from her reverie, "What's up?" Sophia asked."Nothing much on my end. But I could bet my whole savings that there's a lot going on with you. What were you discussing with your old man?" Jayden asked, looking curious."What else if not the so-called money he owed the Howells and also the way they were on his neck? That man just never ceases to annoy me." Sophia huffed."How much do you have right now?" Jayden asked concerned."As it stands now, I'm officially penniless. A few minutes ago, I transferred 8 Billion doll

Sophia and Jayden made their way to Alex's office. They knocked and entered. Alex already saw them from his computer so he need not look up to ascertain those in his office."How may I be of help to you both?" Alex asked without lifting his eyes off the laptop in front of him.Jayden and Sophia looked at each other and then back at Alex who was now looking at them. "I'm busy and your presence is distracting me. Say what brought you here so that I can continue with my work."Jayden discretely nudged Sophia signalling her to go on and start talking. Sophia looked uneasy but decided to give it a shot."You didn't even offer us a seat and.." Sophia was still saying before Alex's firm gaze shut her up. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her not to complete her sentence. She instinctively swallowed her words."If the reason you both are here is not office-related, don't even bother opening your mouth. But if it is, then have your seats." At this moment, Jayden and Sophia were confused. Th

Sophia and Jayden reconvened in McLean's Company where Cynthia had been waiting for them. She wasn't really bored cos she made herself comfortable just as Sophia instructed before she left for the meeting. Sophia told her to send for anything she wanted to eat or drink and also watch any movies of her choice with the company's subscription. So, when the duo came back, Cynthia realized that indeed she had lost track of time because of the so much fun she was having."Hi, I can see that you are enjoying yourself," Jayden said after they all sat down in Sophia's office."I can't even lie, I was having a lot of fun before you both interrupted it," Cynthia whined and pouted."So you want me not to come back to my office again?" Sophia asked in a playful tone."Gosh, please don't put words into my mouth. That's not what I said. How did the meeting go by the way?" Cynthia inquired still eating her snacks."It went well I guess," Sophia replied."What's up? Why is your face like that?" Cynthi

Sophia was so nervous. She kept running her palms down her hands and her hair. She was back home from the office. She got back home early enough to be able to meet up with Alex when he got back. She knows that if she doesn't meet up with him immediately when he steps foot into the house, she won't be able to see him again since he now spends most of his time in his room locked up.Sophia sat in the sitting room waiting patiently for the time she would hear the sound of his car outside. She had already changed from her work clothes. She was putting on a two-piece dress that stopped right above her knee. Sophia looked at the time again like she had been doing for the past 30 minutes. She discovered that Alex was taking too long to get home. He normally comes back home at around 6 O'clock but it's already half past 7 and he was nowhere to be seen.She was almost losing hope of him coming back anytime soon. So, when she stood up to go back to her room, she heard the sound of a car engine
