Chapter 141 - Getting closer (4) (2/2)

Close to lunch time, Felix came to Sophia's office, as usual. The secretary told him the message that Sophia left. Felix nodded, and turned away. He was not sure what happened but knew that Sophia needs space. 'I will not press this, and let her have her time to think things through... I can only hope she does not drift away from me.' With his head lowered, he went to his office, and didn't get out until end of the day. He didn't contact Sophia that day.

...

In the evening, Hill sisters met for a video conference online. Aiden was also present.

Sophia looked troubled. She cleared her throat few times, ”Can we have some girl talk?”

Sarah turned to Aiden and said in a quiet voice: ”This is the cue that you should give us some privacy.”

His lips stretched into a smile while he protested, ”But I want to hear also!”

Sarah shook her head with a serious expression. ”You are not a girl.”

”You want to dress me up as one”, he had a pitiful expression.

”What?”, JoAnna perked up. ”Sarah, what kind of a fetish do you have?”

Sarah was shocked with this development, 'Did he just made it look like she is forcing him to dress up as a girl for some twisted foreplay?' Sarah puffed her cheeks in anger, and pinched Aiden's hand so hard that he winced. He moved away quickly when she tried pinching him the second time. At the same time his arms stretched, and he pulled her down with him. They went off the screen. For a minute or two Sophia and JoAnna could only hear some rustling sound, before Sarah returned back to their screens. ”OK. He left.”

Sophia and JoAnna observed Sarah, her hair was messed up and her lips red and lightly swollen.

JoAnna could not hold back her laughter, ”Did we... just now... wait for you two… to make out?”

Sarah saw her appearance on the screen and quickly adjusted her hair. She cleared her throat, and asked innocently, ”What?”

Seeing Sarah's bad acting skills, Sophia also laughed.

Once all three sisters stopped laughing, Sophia reluctantly started talking. ”I think you two are aware that there is some development... between me and Felix.”

Sarah's and JoAnna's eyes lit up from excitement. They wanted to hear more. Both Sarah and JoAnna were about to burst with questions, but seeing how uncomfortable Sophia looks, they waited for her to speak first.

Sophia continued, ”Nothing happened... yet. But there are some feelings developing. And I'm conflicted. I was hoping that you two can help me figure out what is going on and give some advice on what to do.”

JoAnna's mouth had no filter, as usual, ”This is something related to Mark?”

Sophia was stunned for a second before regaining her composure. ”You always had a great intuition. Yes. As much as I'm interested in Felix, I feel that Mark is still on my mind. And I don't think it's fair to start something with Felix until I sort out my thoughts related to Mark.”

”You talk about your mind, but what about your heart?”, Sarah asked.
