The car ride from the airport to the hotel was silent. No on spoke a word the entire time. Max, their driver tried to initiate  some kind of conversation  but when he got no kind response, he gave up.

Sophia was constantly thinking about the time when he left her, called her a gold digger. How easy it was for him to label her with such crude words and all she could do was watch him leave.

"Here we are Sir, Madam" Max spoke in a proper  American accent. It made Sophia  wonder if he had moved here recently.

Conner got out first and slammed the door shut. Sophia wondered if he was mad or just frustrated. Whatever it was,  she didn't care.

They made their way through a huge garden with red and pink roses, it was the most beautiful  site Sophia had ever seen. Even her garden back home was nothing compared to this.

She walked caurltiously towards the grand mansion, which was all red. Yes, the mansion was of the prettiest  red she sad ever seen with cream colour pillars standing  high. The dark green garden complimented the mansion  perfectly.

"This is so beautiful" She whispered to herself. Despite being new here, she walked around like she owned this place.

"Bonjour jolie dame" Sophia stopped abruptly when she heard a soft voice call from behind. She turned around to find an old man with grey hair set perfectly  on his head. He smiled at her warmly and bowed his head.

Sophia stood silently, not knowing what to do. She smiled back.
"Bonjour" She replied. She didn't know how  to speak French, but just a few words. She wondered what the rest of the sentence meant.

"C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer" He said as he took her hand and gave it a small kiss. Sophia  blushed and turned away just  in time to see Conner walk towards them.

"She does not speak French Voltini. She's  Pure American" Conner spoke coldly to the elderly man. She was surprised how he had no respect for his elders.

"Oh I'm extremely sorry madam" He bowed his head again, "I  thoughy you knew French when you replied. My apologies. Earlier I  expressed my gratitude for you being here with us."

"No it's perfectly fine and the pleasure is all mine..'' Sophia smiled back and then turned to glare at Conner.

Conner gave her a bored expression "Voltini show Miss Morin her room and later get our luggage from the car, I'm tired so  get me a cup of coffee" With that he walked away, never turning back.

Sophia didn't  know why but she felt the need to apologise on his behalf. "I'm  sorry he's  such an ass" She bowed her head apologetically, to which the old man laughed whole heartedly.

Sophia looked up at him and gave a confused look. "What are you talking about Miss? He is a sweetheart" He replied.

Sophia looked at him, wide eyed.

You the old nut has been cracked.

"Him? Sweetheart? Are you kidding me, no offense  but I've  never met a more selfish man than him, he's  the world's  biggest jer-"
