Meanwhile, at the Xing Manor, everything was being cleaned, maids were busier than ever. When Xing Yi Yang woke up he saw all the maids rushing and doing all the chores he was confused to see such a sight in front of him, though the chores were done early every day but today everybody looked scared and were doing everything as if their life depended on it.
When he came out of his room all fresh and ready he was immediately bombarded by his mother at the door ''Yang you are free tonight I know it so you will be going to pick my best friends daughter up. Are we clear?''
Now he understood what was going on, an important person to his mom was coming that's why the entire household was turned upside down and every inch was being cleaned.
Then suddenly it rang through his ears 'Daughter of a best friend. Pick her up' Yi Yang was quite a long name so the people close to him called him Yang
He looked at his mother and saw her expectant eyes. He still remembers he was about to graduate and that's when she wanted him to meet someone too but he refused and after that, she never said a word related to it.
That was the first and the last girl his mother ever liked and wanted him to meet with.
He immediately wondered if this was the same girl so he asked his mother ''Mom is she the same one to whom you wanted me to meet before graduating high school?''
Mother Ning immediately said ''I don't know, better find out your self.'' No one from the Xing household ever told him the girls background so he knew nothing about her except what she looked like. But he figured that she was a decent girl otherwise why would his mother urge him to meet her.
After a short round of banter between the mother and son duo he reluctantly agreed. On the breakfast table, Father Xing was all smiles, Yang could still not understand what was his parents deal with this girl.
According to him, all girls are stupid, who cry on the smallest things and act all innocent. A White Lotus or Scheming for wealth and money or just wanted to become mistresses and scheme their way up in some influential persons bed. Till date, he has only met and seen such women.
He detested women and did not like getting close to them as they all just used to throw themselves at him and had no self-respect whatsoever for themselves, and acted like loose women, spreading their legs to anyone at any time.
So he preferred maintaining his distance. Never in his life had he let a woman other than his family touch him or even come in 5 meters radius.
He went to his office with a gloomy expression being forced to pick up a girl. All the employees were already very afraid of him but they respected him a lot too.
Seeing their CEO's glum expression everyone shivered inwardly and thought 'Who pissed the Boss in the morning and irked the Devil and will now suffer his wrath.'
After a long day in his head office, which seemed like an eternity to the employees with all the doubled work and angry boss, the evening finally came. Yang messaged his mother 'Mom when am I supposed to pick that girl of yours and from where?'
When his mother received the message she was talking to Ying, Yang's younger sister, she was just telling her about Sophie's arrival.
Ying was about to graduate from her university, it was her final year. She was the same age as Sophie and Luca.
But due to the pressure from their mother's family Sophie and Luca had too many things even before they reached a certain age to do it. There family's situation well you can say its complicated.
Mother Xing immediately called Yang ''She will be reaching China within an hour go to the airport arrival gate 6.'' after saying this she ended the call with the speed of lightning!!! not giving him any chance to say a word.
She has already instructed their drivers not to listen to Yangs orders for a day or two.
Yang signed and messaged her again 'At least tell me her name, how am I supposed to find her?!!' Mother Xing was about to type Persephone as that was her official name which was on her passport but she figured that Yang will find out her identity very soon if he knew her name on paper so she typed 'Her name is Sophie'
Every one loved calling her Sophie and Gianluca Luca. They loved their nicknames more too, and liked being called that way.
Yang let out an exhausted sigh and thought 'Sophie. just Sophie no surname mom what's with all the secrecy.
He put on a mask and hat so as he won't be discovered by anyone at the terminal. He waited for her holding a name card as he had no idea what she looked like.
Sophie came out wearing a black sleeveless crop top with a light khaki midi skirt with a stylish belt paired with black pumps and a small hand black clutch in her left hand with a Pearl watch. her neck was adorned with a silver chain that had small pearls sprinkled over it paired with the same et of earings.
Her hair was jet black till her upper torso then slowly turning silver they were puffy and soft looking and reached a little down her waist. She had beautiful almond-shaped eyes with silver and a tinge of blue-colored irises.
A high pointed yet soft nose with Cupids bow lips which were naternally a little pinkish and a bit red. Her face was oval-shaped. She was tall and had long slender legs. Her skin looked as smooth as jade and pure white a perfect complexion.
He did not even realize when she reached him and asked ''Are you, my driver?'' He gave her a questioning look.
She said ''Sophie'' He was still blank she said tiredly ''That's my name, so did Aunt Ning send you, are you, my driver?''
Unable to say a word he just nodded his head. She handed him her luggage and motioned him to guide her to the car. She sat at the back seat of his rolls Royce while he sat at the driver's seat when he started driving her words registered in his brain.
He was about to clarify things when her phone rang up it was Yining's call. She immediately answered it, as she was about to say a word her bro's yelling for help could be heard and woman flirtatious voice telling him to stop resisting the effect of the sex drug.
Sophie was blank for a moment she said in a low murmur ''You got cheated''.
Yang was busy removing his mask and hat when he heard her he froze since it was a murmur he only heard 'you cheated' and his brain thought of every possibility and the most obvious one was it was her 'boyfriend'.
His heart started to ache with pain his throat went dry with the thought of her having a boyfriend no it was seeing her with other men than him.
Before his thoughts could run any more rampant and he could utter another word her voice became louder and could be heard as clear as a crystal ''How could you, I mean just how could you. You are the biggest idiot. Why did you even call me, wait you knew I was coming to China I messaged it. You idiot, where are you let me see what I can do.''
Yang thought her boyfriend cheated on her and now she was going to see with whom he cheated on her.
He had to admit to himself she was a beauty but wasn't she just like other women? Jumping into things and making fool of herself for not having a solid plan on how to deal with the situation.
But still could not shake off his attraction towards her. He wondered why...?
Meanwhile, Sophie was worried about her brother who just got cheated again!!!!
She told him ''Mr. please drive to The Royal Mirage hotel as fast as possible.'' Yang on the other hand just nodded and was still deep in thought as stepped on the gas pedal, as he drove towards the said hotel. He was trying to figure her out.
