Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

Miss Felestine stood up, the smile on her face didn’t vanish. “Sophie!”

“G-Good morning, Miss Felestine.”

“Please take a seat, sweetheart.”

“Thank you.” I sat on a couch and she sat next to me.

“Miss Thea said that you want to see me?” I asked.

Why do I feel so nervous no that I’m in front of her.

“Yes, I told her that. By the way Sophie, I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you in the first place that I am the CEO of this company. I just didn’t want you to feel awkward towards me.”

I shook my head. “You don’t have to apologize, ma’am. I understand you and I think it was also my fault since I didn’t immediately recognize you.”

“Actually, I’m so glad that you weren’t able to recognize me. I felt comfortable with you since the first time that we met and I don’t even know why. By the way, congratulations. You truly deserve to win the competition.”

“Thank you so much, ma’am. It’s such an honor for me to receive such a compliment from you.” I said while smiling.

She leaned on her seat while staring at me. “You know what? You actually remind me of someone.”

“Ma’am?”

“My daughter. You actually resemble her in appearance. She was still a child since the last time that I saw her. Maybe if she’s still here, I’ll see her grow up into a fine lady like you.”

“Where is she now?”

She smiled bitterly. “I don’t know. I got into an accident before and lost my memories, all that I can remember is the face of my daughter although I can’t remember her name. My best friend just told me when I woke up that his father flew away to Europe with her. I tried asking someone to try finding her there but they always find nothing. Some even said that she already died together with her father in a plane crash.”

“I’m so sorry to hear that, Miss Felestine.”

“But I don’t believe that, I still believe that my daughter is still alive and she’s still waiting for me to come back and get her. I will never give up on looking for her.”

I could see the determination in her eyes. She really loves her daughter.

Miss Felestine suddenly looked at me. “How about you, Sophie. Where’s your parents?”

“Actually Miss Felestine, I don’t have my mom anymore. She died back when I was just a kid. I used to live with my dad before and his wife. His legal wife.”

“Huh? What do you mean legal wife? Is your mom, a mistress?”

I lowered my head. “My mother was just working as a maid in their house before, she fell in love with my dad who was the son of the family where she works at. My dad is already married with her wife then, but then he also fell in love with my mom and they had me.”

“Do you know how did your mom die?”

“My dad said that she died because of heart attack.”

Miss Felestine nodded. “Looks like we somehow both lost the ones that we loved the most.”

“You’re right, ma’am.”

“Then we can just hang out more together. You can even consider me as your second mom since you are now the ambassador of our company.”

“R-Really, ma’am?”

“Of course. You can ask anything from me and I am more than willing to help you. Also, most of the time I will stay beside you because we are going to endorse our company to other bigger ones. Are you ready to do that, Sophie?”

I nodded with a smile. “Yes, Miss Felestine. I am more than ready and I am so excited to be with you.”

I was surprised when she suddenly leaned close to me and pulled me for a hug. “Oh Sophie, I’ve never been so comfortable like this towards someone.”

“Me too, Miss Felestine. I feel so comfortable when I’m with you.” I said as I hugged her back.

I don’t even know why but I feel like I was safe while she was embracing me. It felt like I was home.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
