“Who told you to drink too much?” Charlotte’s voice echoed inside Sofia’s flat. “You always know that you cannot handle your

alcohol...” Charlotte grunted as she held Sofia’s waist. On the other side was Daniel, who was also holding Sofia’s other arm.

“Sorry... Hek...” Sofia mumbled. Her eyes were already closed, and a silly. smile was painted on her abnormally scarlet face.

“Put me down. You can leave now...

“How could | leave you when you are like this?” Charlotte frowned.

“Calm down...” Daniel spoke, his voice soft.

“Calm down? Her puke’s all over me!” Charlotte could not help but complain. “This is a new dress!” she added, irritation apparent

in her

voice.

Daniel only chuckled. “And yet you are here...”

“Do you think | would want you to clean her up?” Charlotte glared at Daniel.

“Right...” Sofia chuckled. “How could she let you... see... my... hek... body?”

The two let Sofia on the bed as Charlotte pushed Daniel out of her room.

“Sister, you know that you cannot drink too much alcohol. How could you

ask-” Seeing Sofia’s body fall into the soft white king-size bed, Charlotte rolled her eyes. “How could I even talk to a drunk?” she

kicked Sofia’s feet. “Wake up. You need to take a bath.”

When Sofia did not stir away, Charlotte kicked her sister’s leg again. “Wake up...”

“Won't...” Sofia mumbled. “Just leave me alone. | need to sleep.”

Charlotte let out a sigh. “I can’t carry you to the bathroom. Hey!”

However, no matter how much she tried to kick Sofia’s legs, the latter did not open her eyes. Seeing this, Charlotte sneered.

Then she opened Sofia’s shirt and simply tucked her into bed.

“Done?” Daniel asked her the moment she got out of Sofia’s room.

“Why did you let her drink?” Charlotte glared at Daniel. “You always know she’s like that when she’s drunk!”

“She told me she’s not...”

Charlotte snorted. “Take me home.”

“What about her?”

“What about her? She’s asleep. She’s gonna wake up with a bad headache tomorrow. While | have puke and sweat all over me.

Take me home.”

“Can't you call your PA?”

“It's one in the morning!” Charlotte said. “Besides...” she closed in on him, a coquettish smile on her face. “I missed you.” Her

hand rested on his chest as she tilted her head and licked her lower lip. “Don’t you miss me

too?”

“Char...”

“What? It’s just a question.” Charlotte said. “I know you never want to do it

here.”

“Char...” There was a hint of warning in his voice.

“Fine.” Charlotte pouted as she took a step back. To keep their relationship a secret, Daniel and her agreed not to do something

like this in the very same City where Sofia was. Daniel did not want to take some risks, and Charlotte did not want to cause

unnecessary problems.

So, they limited their interaction outside of Illinois where they would go on vacation together. Still, the fact that Charlotte is a

known personality is causing them trouble.

They had to choose a secretive location to see each other. Honestly, Charlotte was tired of this. She wanted the relationship to

be open but she could not do it— at least not right now.

“Still, you have to take me home...” Charlotte said.

“Right.” Daniel was about to go to Sofia’s room, but Charlotte held hist hand.

“Where are you going?”

“| was just gonna check on her.”

“Don't you trust me?” Charlotte said.

“Of course, | do.”

“Then don’t go inside her room.”

Seeing this, Daniel shook his head and smirked. “Jealous?”

“How could | not?” Charlotte said. “Can you blame me?” Her voice turned

soft.

Daniel immediately approached her and held her chin, lifting it up towards him. Without saying another word, he kissed her lips.

“Still jealous?”

“Stop it,” Charlotte rolled her eyes.

However, instead of giving her an answer, he kissed her lips again. “Again?”

“| said stop!” Charlotte said. However, she did not push him away. Instead, she giggled. “Not here.”

“Fine... let’s go. | will take you home.”

“Good.” Charlotte smiled. Her flat was located in another building, and it had very good security. She wanted privacy, away from

the media and her fans, and that was why she chose that place.

After a few minutes, the two of them walked out of Sofia’s flat. However, the moment they left, the door of Sofia’s room opened.

Sofia slowly walked out, her phone in her hand.

No. She chose not to record the two, but she heard and saw everything that they just did. She had other plans. After making sure

that her doors were locked, she opened her phone and sent a text to an unknown. number.

[They are on their way out. Follow them. Take some good shots.]

Slowly, she made her way into the living room and opened the blackout curtains that revealed the beautiful view of Springfield at

night.

Then she got herself some wine and sat on her couch, mulling over the things that happened while they were having their dinner.

Charlotte. almost always never let Sofia drink too much to the point of slurring her words. Sofia recalled their conversation earlier

and snickered.

After enjoying her wine, she went back to her room to take a quick bath before sleeping. However, an unexpected call arrived

just before she could change her clothes.

“Alexander?” she asked, surprised.

“Open the door...”

“You- “Sofia did not say another word as she ran out of her room and into the door, completely forgetting the fact that she was

still wearing her robe and that her hair was still wet from the shower. She opened the door and saw Alexander standing outside.

He was wearing his white shirt. His coat must be inside his car. His hair was a little disheveled yet it was not enough to hide how

attractive he looked.

“Why are you here?” she moved to the side, giving him access to her flat. She was about to look in the hallway to make sure that

no one was around when she heard his voice.

“What's wrong with a husband visiting his wife?” he asked, chuckling. “Do not worry... | made sure that no one was around.”

Sofia let out a sigh of relief. She closed the door, making sure to lock it from the inside. She quickly realized that he was already

inside her living room, enjoying a glass of wine.

“...” For a while, Sofia was at a loss for words.

“Is there something wrong?” he asked.

“| was about to tell you to feel yourself at home, but | can see how unnecessary that is.”

Want some?” he asked.

“No.” She eyed the empty wine glass that she placed on the coffee table earlier. Alexander must have spotted it the moment he

walked in.

“| just finished a meeting...” Alexander said. He leaned back on her couch and opened the first two buttons on his white shirt.

“You don’t have something stronger?” he asked.

“| don’t usually drink something hard...” Sofia said. Then she pursed her lips, her gaze lingered on his exposed.

chest for a few seconds before silently chastising herself for being such a pervert. “Remind Josef to give me the brand that you

want so | can keep it here,” she tried to sound as casual as possible. “| am going to dry my hair.”

She quickly escaped into her room. Alexander had been so natural with his actions yet she was acting like a cat who was caught

doing something. naughty. A sigh escaped her lips. Aside from Daniel, Sofia never had any other interactions with other men in

the past so she was well aware that she can be very awkward around them.

After chastising herself even more, she turned on some music inside her room and went to her bathroom to dry her hair. She

took the hairdryer from the bottom drawer and almost jumped out when she spotted Alexander’s reflection in the mirror. He was

standing by the door, staring

at her.

“You-”

“I knocked,” he said.

“| was gonna ask if you need any help.”

She turned around. “Help with what?” she asked.

“Drying your hair.

“What? Why would |

“| heard you were drinking. Isn't it hard to dry your hair when you have too much alcohol?” He smirked and approached her.

Then he took the hairdryer from her hand. “Let me do it,” he said.
