Chapter 2 Childhood Sweetheart


    Sophia and John were like a match made in heaven. They were born in the same ce and grew up in


    the same neighborhood. They even had the same birthday! It was as if the entire universe had made it


    so that they would be brought together.


    As long as they were together, Sophia didn''t care about anything else.


    She was willing to lose everything she had if it meant that she wouldn''t lose him.


    John was her heaven on earth, her whole world and life!


    Tossing and turning in bed, she jumped off and rushed into the bathroom to wash away all the ces


    the man had touched. Last night, she had already taken a bath for nearly five times. Therge bottle of


    bath gel was all used up. However, she could still feel all the ces the man had touched. What was


    worse, there was still a kiss mark on her neck.


    When she walked out of the bathroom the sixth time around, her stomach rumbled. Thoughtfully, she


    patted her belly. It was gettingte. Dressing quickly, she tidied herself up and went out.


    Just when she arrived at the gate of themunity, she was stopped by two towering, muscr men


    in ck suits.


    "Are you Sophia Ye?" one of them asked.


    "What do you want?" She looked at the nk faces of the men, feeling that they were dangerous and


    unkind.


    "Our boss wants to see you," the man said coldly.


    "You must have mistaken me for someone else," she mumbled.


    She took two steps back and wanted to run away. But before she could turn around, she was grabbed


    by two big hands and was dragged into the ck Rolls Royce.


    There was a man sitting at the back. The seats were made of crocodile skin leather. He had one of his


    leg on top of the other, and his arms were spread across leisurely. There was some gauze at the top of


    his head, but it still didn''t hide the fact that he was unbelievably handsome. He looked so breathtaking


    that it was as if God had taken special care to make him.

    The man''s wheat-toned skin was smooth and wless. His deep facial features were as delicate as a


    masterpiece that has been carefully carved by a skilled craftsman. His body was also undeniably


    glorious. It was like he had jumped out from a Greek painting, his entire presence emanating charm,


    mour, and perfection.


    Sophia was taken aback and inhaled sharply. Unconsciously, she leaned against the window to set


    more space in between them. Then, she lifted her gaze and met the man''s eyes.


    He had a pair of eyes as sharp and cold as the Arctic star. There was a deadly charm in his deep and


    dark eyes. People would imperceptibly step away when they saw him, afraid that he could seize their


    souls any time he wished.


    Her heart trembled inexplicably and she looked away in a hurry.


    "Who are you? I don''t know you," Sophia stammered as she sped her hands nervously in front of


    her. There was a sinking feeling in her stomach.


    "Really?" The man leaned against the seat, the corners of his mouth raising up to a devious smile. His


    thin lips curved up to a dazzling arc. "Did you forget what happenedst night so quickly?" he asked,


    his voice low and raspy.


    Last... night?!


    When she realized who this man was, Sophia''s eyes widened in shock.


    The person who assaulted herst night wasn''t her brother-inw but rather....


    "I don''t understand what you''re talking about. You must have mistaken me for someone else," Sophia


    lied as she shook her head in panic. She had no idea why she had to deny it--she was the victim, after


    all!


    The man raised his thick eyebrows slightly and sneered. He took out a mobile phone from the drawer


    built in at the bottom of the seat, holding it up for her to see. "Technology nowadays is so advanced. It''s


    so easy to find anyone you want to find."


    Sophia recognized immediately that it was her phone in his hands. No wonder she couldn''t find it when


    she got home.


    "I was about to call the police. I didn''t expect that you woulde here. At least it would be easier to


    turn you in," she bluffed, trying to keep calm.


    "Call the police?" The man sneered and retorted. "Fine. I will even call the police for you. Maybe you''ll


    be so kind to exin how you sneaked into my roomst night, hurt me and shattered my sixty-million-


    dor porcin vase?" After saying that, he picked up a bag of broken porcin pieces at his feet and


    threw them in front of her. She trembled violently as if she was struck by electricity. Then, she gritted


    her teeth and red at him. "That''s nonsense. You were molesting me. It was just self-defense!"


    "Molesting you?" The man''s face showed an extremely sarcastic look. "Weren''t you the one who


    slipped into my room and tried to seduce me?" His eyes fell on her neck, where the trace of his kiss


    was still marked on her skin vividly. Seeing this, an amused smile appeared on his lips.


    Sophia saw where he was looking and she pulled up her cor in a hurry, feeling ashamed and angry.


    Then she raised her arm and threw a punch at the window. "Who do you think you are? You think


    you''re so great because of all the money you have. Well guess what? I hate assholes like you the


    most, and I do not have an ounce of interest in you! I was just there at the hotel to go see my brother-


    inw. How was I supposed to know that you were in that room instead?" she shouted at him.


    Her words did not anger him. In fact, it appeared as if he got even more amused. "Breaking in to others''


    property... I can put you in prison for at least five or six years, do you know that?"


    "What... What do you mean?" Her heart jolted in her chest.


    "What do you think I meant?" The man asked.


    She bit her lower lip and lowered her head as she thought of what she should do or say next. Her thick


    eyshes cast a dark shadow on her bright eyes. How could she exin to the police that she had


    gotten inside the wrong room? She couldn''t afford to offend rich people like him.


    "What do you want?" She said tly as she looked up at him.


    "Well, now that you''ve asked, I will get straight to the point," He pursed his lips and said. "I''m a tolerant


    person. As long as you serve me for one year, all our scores will be settled!"


    ''Serve him? Like... a maid?'' She almost screamed out. Was he going to make her serve him?


    She stared incredulously at the gorgeous face in front of her, her fists clenched. "No way! I won''t be


    your maid!"


    "It''s up to you..." With a hint of slyness in his eyes, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and


    dialed. "Hmm. Police. Last night, there was a female bandit..."


    She jumped from the seat and grabbed his phone. To be honest, she really wanted to punch him, but


    she couldn''t. She had to endure it. She couldn''t be put in jail and lose John.


    She took a deep breath, and exhaled loudly. "Okay, fine!" she said with her eyes closed in defeat. "I''ll


    do as you say. But you have to give me a sry, one thousand and five hundred every month. I can''t


    just work for you around the clock without pay. I have to eat, pay rent and utilities, and other daily


    expenses!"


    The man did not answer, but his silence seemed to show his approval.


    "On top of that, I need a day off every week. I''m not a machine, so I need to rest," She added, trying to


    fight for the little rights she had.


    The man stared at her without beating an eysh, his eyes deep and unpredictable. "You''ll get your


    day off when I''m not around," he coldly said after a while.


    "All right." She shrugged and reached out her hand to him, "Now, it''s time to return my phone to me,


    right?"


    The man smiled, and twirled her phone around his fingers. Then he opened it and showed her a picture


    of her and John together. "Is this your boyfriend?" he asked.


    "You went through my phone. That''s an invasion of privacy!" She sneered as she blushed slightly.


    "Well, if I didn''t go through your phone, how would I be able to find you?" The man raised his eyebrows.


    All of a sudden, Sophia jumped at the man and tried to forcibly take her phone from him. The mad


    didn''t expect that she would do something like that, and so he fell onto the seat with her.


    Their two bodies were tightly inteced as they grappled each other, their breath warm and hot. It was


    just like what happenedst night, except for the fact that they could see each other clearly and that


    she was on top of him this time.


    The man''s face twisted to aplicated look. He released her and sat up straight. Sophia quickly


    scampered back to her seat, panting.


    "From now on, you can''t get closer to me than five feet!" She said through her teeth as she stared at


    him.


    "You still haven''t answered my question. Is he your boyfriend?" he said hoarsely as he straightened up


    the suit he was wearing.


    "So what if he''s my boyfriend?" She pouted.


    "How is your rtionship with him?" He asked, pressing further into the matter.


    "That''s none of your business!" scoffed Sophia.


    "I''m asking in regards to your employment to me. I don''t want my maid to have any unnecessary


    feelings while she''s working!" His tone was cold and harsh. He needed the people he wanted to be


    pleasing to the eye and would have no problems while on duty.


    "Don''t bother, alright? I am not interested in you and I never will be!" She looked resolute and


    aggressive.


    Aplicated expression shed through his eyes. He frowned and said coldly, "I''ll give you a day to


    solve your problem."


    With an exasperated sigh, Sophia rolled her eyes and got out of the car.
