"Would you please just call a cab for me?" Sophia requested, freezing. She was unaware he was still holding her hand until he pulled her.
"Wait!" She was trying to decline, but he was persistent. They went inside his big and elegant house. "He's such a wealthy man." She thought as he still pulled her upstairs into his room.
"Mr. Will! Would you be so kind as to____?" However, before she could say anything, he stopped her by placing his finger on her lips.
"Go ahead and take a bath first. We will talk about it later." He complied. She had no choice but to follow him.
"Can I use the bathtub?" She inquired as she was making her way into the bathroom.
"No problem." He smiled at her once again.
It took her about an hour to take a bath. She just loved his tub since it was so relaxing and relieving. When Sophia went out with the towel around her body. She was surprised to see him sitting on the bed before the bathroom door. He already changes his clothes with a clean white shirt and jeans waiting for her barefoot. Because of the shock, she accidentally loosened the grip on the towel, and it fell on the floor. And once again, she got naked in front of the mysterious man. She froze and was unable to use her limbs in any way to pick up the towel.
Xander thought he was such a lucky man sitting there and watching the perfect body he had just recently owned and cherished. He couldn't contain his excitement, but he needed to suppress it to determine whether Sophia still remembered him. He stood and walked towards her. Sophia would have wanted to move her body to run or hide, but it didn't obey her. Until Xander was standing before her, the only thing she could do to hide her embarrassment was lower her head. But he lifts her chin so she can look at him, and the two just stand there and gaze at each other.
"You were really such a tease, Sophia." After giving it some thought, he kissed her.
Xander's kiss to her was exactly the same as the one he had given her previously. It was when they were outside the bar, with such expertise, that she couldn't resist. In response, Sophia gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. He had his hand on her waist and pulled her closer to him, making her arms move up to encircle his neck.
"He was gorgeously tempting!" She thought.
"Mr. Will, your order has just arrived! It was his secretary's presence once more as she knocked on the door. Although Xander did stop kissing her, the way he held her did not alter; his grip was still quite firm around her waist.
"I'm coming!" He answered, glancing at the door and smiling back at her.
As a result of feeling humiliated, Sophia instantly flushed and shifted around a little. But to her amazement, he released his grip on her waist and grabbed the towel instead. He conceals it all the way up to her torso.
"What a semi-gentleman!" She was thinking with her cheeks flushed with anger. After that, he went back to his bed and grabbed something.
"Here, wear this. I'll wait for you outside." Xander answered with a grin. After getting ready, Sophia went to his room and discovered him in the kitchen.
"Mr. Will." She questioned him.
"Give me another minute. The finishing touches are being put on my signature dish. I named it fried shrimp with mushrooms and mashed potatoes." He responded while cocking an eyebrow at her. "You are going to be the first to taste this!" He stated this with pride.
"Mr. Will, I think we have to stop this." She continued, thinking she must make her move to end this stupidity.
"I'm terrified that I could end up falling in love with him, but I just can't do it! I was aware that deep down, I was still waiting for Xander." She thought sadly.
"What is it that you're saying, Sophia?" She was slightly taken aback since he did not formally address her name. Xander placed the plate on the table before approaching her with his stroll.
"I don't know who you are, but if you are one of those men I hurt in the past. Well then, kindly accept my apologies." She stated that he was astonished, thinking perhaps she was just pretending, and she really did recognize him.
"As you can see, I'm here to work!" Sophia proceeded.
"Yes! You dumped me!" Xander is adamant about getting to the bottom of this.
"In college? Then, I am very sorry about it." She explained that convinced him he had been incorrect.
"She did not recognize me at all!" It occurred to him.
"Please accept my apologies, Mr. Will, and I beg you not to bring our personal problems into the workplace. Thank you." She stated. However, the decision he made to tell her the truth is definitive. It's now or never!
"Please, let's stop this! I'll ask my boss to send you another designer because I can't work like this. I'm sorry." She continued and turned back to him.
"Hey! Are going to do it again!" He grabbed hold of her wrist and yanked her around to face him. "Are you going to reject me once again? Hurt me!" He yelled at them.
"Let go of me!" She attempted to struggle back, but he gripped her arms even more tightly.
"Are you always like this? Hurting the man you loved!" He insists, and her eyes widen.
"What do you mean?" It was a mystery to her.
"Did you forget about me to the point where you wouldn't be able to recognize me even if we were this close?" He was becoming furious.
"I don't understand you." She sobbed again, despite her efforts to distance herself from him.
"You've been crying my name all night, pushing me to make love with you! And still, you don't remember me!" Xander's yelling was becoming so loud that it worried her, and she shed some tears.
"Is this some kind of revenge?" She inquired with an unsteady voice.
"I guess this would be the sweetest revenge you'll ever have." He eventually lowered his voice and released his grip on her hand.
"If you leave this house, you might not see me again or forever." He walked away from her and returned to the kitchen.
