Chapter 17

Pheobe’s POV.

What on earth was she doing here? Did she stage this purposely just so she could show up at lunch and sabotage every thing?

Sophia entered the restaurant wearing a checkeded pencil skirt, a grey button front that tucked in to the waist band of her skirt. The black heels she wore clinked as she walked and could be heard. even through the chatter of the restaurant.

I watched in utter bewilderment at the scene unfolding before me. I had my doubts, my goodness, did I have any doubts but it was all becoming too real for me to handle the truth that was right in front of me.

Sophia walked in to the restaurant and Dante, like he had some radar that went of when the minute she entered, fixated his eyes and his attention on her. It was like I was no longer seated right across from him and he was here alone, forgetting all about my presence entirely.

His eyes moved, following her every move like he couldn’t see, hear, or focus on any thing else but her right now. I followed his gaze and saw the wretched woman there talking to a waitress who lead her to her table but she would have to pass us first before she got there.

Sophia a return back to the country was wholly unwelcome and unsettling. Nothing has felt right. side she returned. Sophia was proving to be like a bug that needed more than just being squished beneath a shoe to get rid off.

She walked past our table and I noticed her designer formal wear. She was wearing branded items from head to to and even those earrings she had on were a limited addition with only a total of five pairs made by the most exclusive jewellery designer in the world.

I wondered if Adam had gotten it for her. If there was any thing I should be thankful for it would be the fact that she was with Adam Huxley but even then I wouldn’t let myself relax until I knew what Dante’s intentions was and were his perception of her had lay.

“Sophia.” Dante had the nerve to call out to her to get her attention. Sophia looked at Dante and paused right before I saw it.

The flicker of yearning in her eyes when she first looked at him. It was gone as fast as it had appeared but I had caught it and was not going to be fooled. Sophia still had feelings for Dante.

I glanced back at Dante trying to gage if he had felt the same way.

“Mr. Crawford.” Sophia addressed him formally which was not what I had expected but what I did not expect more was finding that Dante was very offended at being addresses for formally.

His jaw tensed and his eyes hardened but he still continued to speak to her like I was not discussing some thing important minutes ago.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you here. She said but I knew better than to believe. The desperate b*tch. must have followed us here just so that she could interrupt our lunch date.
