Sofia's POV

I'm still standing in the bathroom when I hear George's legs shaking nervously. „seriously... we have to go.. you don't need to spend that long in the bathroom" He sounded a bit annoyed.

I looked at myself in the mirror one last time and confidently step out the door „So what do you think? can i go like this?"I actually wanted my voice to sound more confident. I wear a dress, which I really very rarely do..

„WOW! umm Sofia, I didn't even know you owned clothes like that otherwise you always go to parties in casual clothes" at the end of the sentence he sounded rather questioning.

Uncertainly I walk through the room now.. up and down..."Yes, Carmen loaned it to me, i look stupid in it, didn't I?" I looked straight at George but didn't stop walking through the room.

„No!.. no. I was just surprised you look gorgeous sunshine.." as George says this he suddenly stands next to me and stops me from walking around. I look at him and know exactly what the next question is... and I think about what I want to say to George.

„So... who are we dressing up for?" He smiles at me and winks. I blush a little bit and start to tell George everything what happened.

„Wow... i don't wanna say i told you Max wasn't a bad guy...but..."George looks at me his eyes shine...

I roll my eyes „say it already"

„I told you..he is a nice guy" George's gaze is brimming with self-confidence

„Yes you did" I say a little annoyed but I can't help but smile „So, are we going to the party now?"

„but of course! let's get your man!" George's grin is so wide it must hurt, right?

„Georgie!!" I say annoyed „He's not my husband. We are... I guess friends... nothing else" If I believe that myself, I'll leave it open.

„yes, that's clear, but you've never made yourself look so chic to meet me" he now said in a playfully dramatic way. He laughs as we leave the hotel and I give him a light slap on the shoulder.

After a short taxi ride, George and I arrive at the club and go straight to the VIP area. There I see my favorite Australian directly „Little Wolff, come over, nice to see you here"

„Hey Daniel, hey guys" I waves to everyone and see that Max is not there yet, So I'm kind of sad that he won't come after all?

Charles jumps right up and goes to me „ Sofia, can we talk for a minute?" Charles's eyes are pleading, actually I'm still hurt by what Charlotte said, but he can't help what his girlfriend says.

„Yes of course Charles" I said an we both got outside to the balcony of the club.

Charles sits right next to me and takes my hand „Sofia, listen. I'm really sorry for how Charlotte behaved towards you. I should have said something or stopped her" I can see in his eyes that he is sincere

„Charles, ummm everything ist ok. You didn't say anything wrong..hmmm where is charlotte today?" hopefully at the other end of the world, that's what I'm thinking at the moment.

„We had another discussion that night and i ended the relationship. I haven't been happy for a long time. and this night just opened my eyes" Charles still holds my hand and squeezes it lightly.

„Oh, sorry to hear that" Of course that was a blatant lie, but no one needs to know „I keep my fingers crossed that you find the person who makes you happy" that in turn was meant seriously, Charles seems to be an upright nice guy.

„I hope so too" Charles now also takes my second hand and I have the feeling he is leaning forward, but I'm not sure.

„Shall we go back inside? it's cold and we have to celebrating your victory" I say and get up.
