"Out of space" Sophia says playfully making Mr. Lee chuckle as he stands.
"Out of space huh? " He IP, walking her direction.
"So tell me Sophia, what planet exactly do you come from? " Mr. Lee adds with a playful smirk.
"A place where all your wishes are granted" Sophia says in almost a whisper while staring up at the sky.
"Are you hallucinating? " Mr. Lee asked with a raised eyebrow. All hands in his pocket.
"I don't........... " She was interrupted by a clear of throat which was obviously from Penelope who had been standing there fuming in anger.
"How many times have i warned you on knocking before entry? " Mr. Lee asked coldly.
"I did knock before entry" Penelope says.
"Maybe because you were carried away by this useless b**ch" Penelope mutters.
"Get the food" Mr. Lee says coldly regardless of her mutter but before anything happened, Sophia rushed over.
"Don't worry i can handle it, Ehm...... Thanks for the food Penny" Sophia says taking the tray from her as she moves back to the veranda making Penelope scoff.
"Penny? " She scoffs before exiting the room.
Mr. Lee just hissed in frustration, brushing his fingers through his hair which made Sophia's heart race a bit on seeing such handsomeness. Like he's a..........
° He looks exactly as the main character in k-drama.°
°The kind of movies i mostly caught Aunt Rachael on°She thought to herself in admiration.
She decides to comport herself and behave but something tells her......
"I've lost my appetite, lemme go get myself some fruits and drop this" Sophia said about to exit the veranda but he made her pause with just a word.
"Don't" Mr. Lee says authoritatively making her pause.
"I'll send my P........ "
"You know i can do things myself so just let me do my thing" Sophia interrupted.
"My house, my rules and if you dare disobey. You'll have yourself to blame" He say coldly.
"Alright fine but make sure it's crystal that.......... "
"Do we know eachother? " Mr. Lee asked confusedly while Sophia gave him a raised eyebrow not expecting such a question.
"Why're you so familliar with me like we long knew eachother? " Mr. Lee added giving her a suspicious look.
"Maybe..... I don't know. That's the way i am" Sophia replys with a smile as she heads back to the chaise longue while Mr. Lee just let out a sigh of resignation.
Mr. Lee put Penelope to call.
Penelope didn't waste much time before arriving with a scorn on her face while Sophia smiles at her.
As Sophia handed Penelope the tray who just rolled her eyes at her and left.
Her gaze drifted back to Mr. Lee, who was now standing by the window, his profile illuminated by the soft light.
She couldn't help but be captivated by his chiseled features, his sharp jawline, and his raven-black hair, which seemed to be perfectly messy.
°He's so handsome, it's like he stepped out of a K-drama,° she thought, her mind racing with admiration. °His eyes seem to hold a thousand secrets, and his smile... oh, his smile could light up an entire room.°
Just as she was lost in her reverie, Mr. Lee turned around, catching her staring. A sly smirk spread across his face, and he raised an eyebrow, teasing her with an unspoken challenge.
"Like what you see?" he asked, his low, smooth voice sending shivers down her spine.
Sophia felt her cheeks flush crimson as she hastily looked away, trying to compose herself. But she could sense his gaze lingering on her, and the air seemed to vibrate with his amusement.
To her surprise, he chuckled - a deep, throaty sound that seemed to contradict his cold, reserved demeanor. He looked away, his expression softening for a moment, as if he too was taken aback by his uncharacteristic reaction.
"What's gotten into me?" he wondered, his mask slipping ever so slightly.
For a fleeting instant, their eyes met again, and Sophia glimpsed a glimmer of warmth beneath his icy exterior.
Then, his mask slipped back into place, leaving her wondering if she had imagined the whole exchange.
But Mr. Lee knew he hadn't imagined it. He had chuckled, and it was unlike him.
He was surprised by his own reaction, and he couldn't help but wonder what it was about Sophia that had brought out this unexpected response.
"Excuse me Master, here are the fruits"
