Is this destiny?

Chapter 145 - Getting Closer (8)

~ Fairfield, Sarah's apartment ~

That evening Sarah got into the study and saw that Aiden is video chatting with someone. The male voice was familiar. When Aiden noticed Sarah, he quickly finished his chat. "OK. I need to go now. We will talk more at a later time. I sent you requirements, let me know if you have any questions." He disconnected the chat.

Sarah noticed the secrecy, and her curiosity awakened. "Who was that?"

"No one important", Aiden defensively waved his hands.

"Really? Since when you chat with random people?" Sarah thought for a moment. "Was that Felix?"

Aiden didn't respond.

"Why are you chatting with Felix? Did something happen to Sophia?" Sarah paused and analyzed, "Even if something happened, why would he talk to you... You are hiding something... What is it?"

Aiden looked desperate, "Sarah, let this go... please? Can I have anything left to surprise you?"

Sarah pursed her lips and nodded. "OK. I will stop asking you.", Sarah turned around and left the study. The moment door closed behind her, she texted Sophia.

[Sarah]: "Do you know what Aiden and Felix are up to? I just caught them video chatting..."

Sarah locked her phone and smiled playfully. 'I said I will stop asking you, not that I will stop asking.'

~ New York ~

In a two-bedroom apartment on the seventh floor Felix was looking at the requirements document that Aiden sent him. "Huh, to get it down to this size might be challenging, and the timeline is crazy. But I will do my best. Who knows, maybe someday we become family." Felix opened his notepad and started sketching a design with a title "ยต GPS*".

...

Sophia just got out of the shower and heard her phone beep with notification for new message. She checked it and read text from Sarah. Sophia responded to her:

[Sophia]: "No idea. I will follow up with Felix."

Sophia thought for a minute and texted Felix:

[Sophia]: "Are you using company resources for private work?"

He responded within seconds.

[Felix]: "Only if it's for a lady from Hill family."

[Sophia]: "What are you up to?"

[Felix]: "Don't spoil the surprise for your sister... Keep your next Saturday free."

[Sophia]: "What is next Saturday?"

[Felix]: "Don't spoil the surprise for yourself"

Sophia stared at her phone, and wanted to send another text, but then decided not to. She kept her phone on the side table and went to get ready for sleep. She had a plan for tomorrow. 'Felix will pay for what he did today. He thinks that he can get me excited by exposing himself shamelessly. He will pay.'

...

Next afternoon Felix was summoned to the CEO office for a short notice meeting. He entered Sophia's office and asked as soon as he closed the door behind him. "You want to discuss budget for this new equipment?"

"Yes", Sophia was sitting at her desk, several pages of documents spread in front of her. Felix noticed her yellow shirt. 'She wore a tan shirt during lunch, right? Why did she change her shirt?'

"I thought we discussed this last week.", Felix commented as he took a seat in front of her desk.

"I have questions about this document", she stood up to hand him the document and leaned over the table. Felix at that point noticed that her top three buttons are unbuttoned, and as she leaned over, he had a clear view of her cleavage. In an instant he knew that she is doing it on purpose, it's a payback for yesterday, but still... he could not look away.

She was leaning over her desk and shamelessly smiling at him, "This section here needs clarification", she was pointing with her pen at the section of the document, but he was still looking at her cleavage. Sophia cleared her throat, and that got Felix to look into her eyes. Her smile widened and reached her eyes, she licked her lips slowly, and repeated, "This section here needs clarification."

Felix was not sure what she said, but he nodded. Sophia said few more things, but his mind was not able to focus on the content of what she was saying. He was not looking at her chest anymore, however, that image was engraved in his mind.

Sophia moved backwards and stood up straight behind her desk. Felix observed that yellow shirt is tightly hugging her body. 'She is too seductive today.' He felt blood rushing from his head into his crotch area and felt the need to leave her office. Felix stood up, and grabbed document that she was pointing at, while talking previously. "Uhm, I will check this and get back to you later." He turned around to leave.

Sophia cleared her throat, "Felix, I have one more thing to discuss. We are not done."

He turned around and sat back in the chair, waiting to see what else she has in store for him. He watched her as she slowly walked around her desk toward him, her eyes locked on his. When she turned the corner and he got an unobstructed view of her, his eyes widened. She was wearing a bright red short skirt... very short skirt. 'This is not what she was wearing during lunch!' Her legs were in full display, finely sculpted long legs. He forced himself to look her in the eyes. "What else you want to discuss?", his voice was hoarse.

Sophia walked slowly until she reached in front of him and said. "There is this one thing left..." she turned around and leaned across her desk to reach a piece a paper which was on the opposite side of the table. As she leaned over, edge of her skirt lifted up slightly.

'Just a bit more and I can see her panties...' he subconsciously tilted his head hoping to get a better view.

Sophia turned her head to the side and saw him gawking at her, trying to see under her skirt. She laughed, "Do you want to touch?"

He opened his mouth to speak, but she interrupted him. "If you say yes, you lose... if you touch, you lose. Do you think I like losers?" She straightened up her body, and adjusted her skirt, pulling it down.

Felix stood up and stepped towards Sophia. His face was very close to hers. "This is a dangerous game you are playing. Are you sure you can win?"

She looked him in the eyes defiantly, "You started it... and I don't like to lose."

He came closer to her, and whispered in her ear, "You don't have to play."

Sophia whispered back, "What if I want to play?"

He took a step back and looked at her with a wide smile. "I admit that you won this round."

"Then the score is one-one", Sophia responded.

He brushed her cheek with his slender fingers and turned around abruptly before leaving her office.

Sophia looked at the door closing behind him, while his fiery touch still lingered on her cheek.
