Sophia had a rest as The Master said but as her eye flutters open, she clearly sees him by the door like he's been waiting for eyes to flutter open for a pretty long time making her sit up almost immediately.
°Has he been here all these while?°
Sophia's heart skipped a beat as he approached her.
"What a creepy guy? " She mutters under her breath.
She could feel his eyes on her, boring into her skin. She tried to meet his gaze, but her eyes dropped to the floor.
"What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
He chuckled, the sound sending shivers down Sophia's spine. "Oh, I think you know," he said, his voice dripping with innuendo.
Sophia's face burned with shame, but she refused to back down. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her voice firm.
He laughed again, this time louder. "Don't play dumb, Sophia," he said. "I know all about you. I know what you're capable of."
°Capable of? °
Sophia's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with thoughts of what he's could possibly know about her. "What are you talking about?" she demanded.
"Cos i don't think you do" She adds
He smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Let's just say I have a special use for you," he said. "A use that requires your... particular skills."
Sophia's heart sank, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. What did he want from her? And what did he mean by "particular skills"?
" You know you're the first to ever.......
"Since you know all about me, we must be really close... So how come i didn't get to know your name? "She asks with a raised eyebrow making him hiss in frustration, brushing his fingers through his hair.
" What really are you? "He mutters under his breath while Sophia gave him a 'Go on' look.
"Aren't you meant to be trembling in fear in sight of someone like me? " He asks trying not to be surprised.
"I don't think so, i feel like you're of no harm to me" She says with a smile.
°Only if she knows i'm clearly the opposite°he thoughts.
°I had to be careful.°
She was trapped in he's mansion, with no way out. She had to play along, at least for now.
"So what skills are you talking about?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
He chuckled, his eyes never leaving hers. "Oh, Sophia," he said. "You're a smart girl. I think you know exactly what I'm talking about."
Sophia's mind was racing, but she couldn't think of anything. She was a victim of human trafficking, rescued by him. What could he possibly want from her?
"I don't know what you're talking about," she said again, trying to sound convincing.
He sighed, his expression turning serious. "Fine," he said. "Let me spell it out for you. I have a business proposition for you, Sophia. One that requires your... unique talents."
Sophia's heart was pounding in her chest, but she knew she had to hear him out. She had to know what he wanted from her.
"What proposition?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
He smiled again, his eyes glinting with excitement. "I'll tell you all about it," he said. "But first, you have to agree to work for me."
Sophia's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with doubts. What did he want her to do? And what would happen if she refused?
