26 ALCOHOL AND KISSES 4 (2/2)

He started explaining what happened at his apartment, how he just lied about being engaged to Sophie to protect her reputation and now he didn't expect it to go that public. Now even his dad thinks he is really engaged and is expecting him to get married.

Well now you just have to marry her; James coldly said to Chris.

What!?; Chris exclaimed.

Yea, you told the public you are engaged so they will be expecting you to get married to her too and if you won't do it for the public, then do it for your father Chris; James replied with his face looking concerned.

Am not ready for marriage James, and you know why; Chris leaned on the couch to rest his back a bit.

You cant keep a hold of the past, it will get you nowhere; James told him speaking like a wise old man.

”Ok so what should i do?” Chris gestured his hands asking

Ok why don't you just ask her to marry you based on an agreement that you will divorce her within a certain time, what do you think?; James advised.

I think you are out of your mind; Chris replied with his face in disapproval.

What!?. Its an advice take, it or leave it. Am leaving; James said as he straightened his body and left.

Chris sat on the couch for a bit, thought about what James said about the contract marriage then went to swivel and began to check the documents Sophie brought earlier. He has been at it for a long time before he looked at the wall clock and saw it was 6pm. He closed the file and took his jacket from the hanger and went out. As he reached the car park, he saw Sophie walking out of the office building. He hesitated for a moment but he walked up to her and said ”Why don't we have dinner and i drop you home” with a cold and calm voice.

Huh; Sophie was surprised at his request.

Yea i just want to discuss something with you; Chris explained.

Ok sure; Sophie replied with a wide smile.

They both boarded his car and he drove away.
