Chapter 66

Dante’s POV.

Some thing was terribly, horribly wrong.

I had known this from the minute that meeting had come to an end. Sophia was not the easiest of woman to persuade and after all the progress that I had thought we’d made over the week away, I really hoped the two of us could move forward and explore us but many many things had the way of that cancelling out efforts and sending me to the pits again starting back right where I had been.

gotten in

Between Pheobe trying to put out glass news to the tabloids and the verdict passed by the meeting, I knew that Sophia was furious with me and, as always, she would not wait back for me to explain things to her.

Once the meeting had come to a conclusion, I rushed after her trying to dodge the other colleagues that tried to greet me. Nothing mattered to me more than getting to Sophia and clearing out the air before she made this even more bigger of a deal than it was in actuality.

I had made it to out of the board room and there had been no sign of her. Naturally, I assumed that she had headed to her office and I rushed over only go find her office empty and her assistant looking rather confused at my presence in an empty office.

After asking around, a red head mentioned seeing her leaving the building on their way up and I immediately rushed down to the loby and stormed out of the revolving doors which I hated. I made it to her car but found it odd that she had chosen to walk to where ever she decided to go to.

I walked all the way to the cafe down the road where I knew Adam and her frequented but there was no trace of her there either. Running out of placed to find her, I called her office again to ask the ever eager Lucy if Sophia had returned to which she informed me that Sophia had left for the day because her bag had been taken.

Defeated, I walked back to the parking lot with the intention of driving to her house but some thing didn’t bloody add up. How the fuck could she have headed back home when her car was still very much where I had last seen it parked in the spot that had been reserved for her vehicle.

I fished out my phone from my blazer pocket to call her up but then let it be knowing that she was never going to answer in her state of mind. She never ever took my calls when she was furious with

Where the hell could she have been?!

I gave up and a stormed over to my car. My anger bubble beneath the surface and I itched to

pound my fist in to some thing just to let out my frustration. I headed home with the intention of fixing myself a strong drink then taking an icy cold shower to relieve myself from being in her presence for more than five minutes without being able to touch her.

At some point between trying to cool down my own temper and pouring drink after drink, I had
