Chapter 10

Finley rolled his eyes and stared at Sofia.

She stopped breathing.

She wasn’t just scared about the fact that she had slapped Finley in the heat of the moment but was also horrified that he had just tried to kiss her.

The room fell into an eerie silence as if all the air had been sucked out, leaving only the sound of Sofia’s rapid breaths, a clear indication of her fear.

Suddenly Sofia’s cell phone rang, and the ringing seemed to ease the tension.

Sofia immediately hung up the phone.

She didn’t know where Brian had gotten her number, but she didn’t think it was wise to take Brian’s call in front of Finley.

Besides, Sofia really didn’t know what to say to Brian.
