Sophia's POV
I slightly groaned when I felt the bright sunlight fall on me. I twisted and turned in my bed for a few more minutes before I was finally up.
Bree , who was sitting just by the side of the bed, started barking and wagging her tail. I gently patted her hair.
Today I had a day off and was planning on lazing around . Maybe call my idiot best friends over and watch some movies with tubs of chocolate chip ice cream.
With happy thoughts swimming in my mind, I went to do my morning routine before going downstairs for breakfast . It was my day off so I woke up late and Dad had already left for office.
"Good morning , Mom! " I jogged off to my seat.
"Good morning, sweetie!" Mom smiled and set down a plate of breakfast for me.
"I don't know if it's because I am too hungry or the pancakes are really so delicious but these taste amazing , Mom." I stuffed my mouth with the pancakes after dipping it in chocolate sauce.
Shaking her head she just laughed.
We were talking about random things when Mom's phone rang and it was Dad.
"Yes, David? " My mom picked up the phone.
" ........ " Mom's eyebrows creased and she was impatiently tapping the table top.
"Umm okay , I will just see."
Hanging up Mom went upstairs. She came down after a few minutes with a file in her hand.
"Sophie , your Dad has forgotten an important file and today he has a meeting with his boss . He really needs it , can you take this file to him ? Mom looked at me with hopeful eyes. I let out a huff.
So much for planning a fun day.
"Sure. " Saying that I got up and went to get ready.
I changed into an oversized sweater and a black skirt. Putting on a bit of nude lipstick and winged liner , I left for his office with the file in a cab.
"Where to , ma'am ?" The driver looked at my face.
"Carter Enterprises , please. " My Dad worked at Carter Enterprises. Nicholas Carter, the CEO of Carter Enterprises was one of top businessmen in the world. It is said that the company reached heights after he took over. I had seen him twice in some magazines but can't say I haven't seen his face properly. He is too handsome to not take a proper glance. He is the perfect handsome billionaire but it can't be said if he is a playboy or not. His personal affairs haven't been the headlines often.
It was a twenty minutes ride from my home. I had put on my headphones to listen to some music.
"Ma'am we are here. " I took off my headphones and looked out to see the huge building.
After paying him , I walked towards the building. Entering through the lavish entrance, I headed straight to the reception.
"Excuse me " the receptionist looked up with a greeting smile.
"How can I help you?"
"I am here to meet Mr. David Jones."
"Please take the elevator to the 21 st floor and on your left you will get to his office . "
"Thank you."
She smilingly nodded at me.
I walked into the elevator and pressed the button. The elevator stopped at the eighth floor and a tall good looking guy walked in. As he pressed the floor number, a movement of his hand caused the file to drop off my hand.
"I am so sorry." He bent down to retrieve the file before I could.
"It's fine." I smiled politely at him.
I could feel him staring at me a few times before I turned to look at him. He smiled at me and introduced himself.
"Hi , I am Caleb." , he put his hand forward.
"Sophia Jones." , I shook his hand with a smile on my face.
"So .. to meet someone ?" He asked. He seemed like a nice guy and didn't give me the creeps.
"Yes , I came to give this file to my Dad , uhm Mr. Jones , he left it back at home." I explained.
He nodded and then there was silence . Finally the elevator stopped and I stepped out.
"It was nice meeting you." , he waved at me .
"Same here." I waved back and the door closed with a ding.
Just as I turned to my left , something small collided with my legs. I looked down to see a little boy with brown hair and an extremely cute face. He looked up and stared at me. I bent down to his height and observed his bright brown eyes.
"Hey little man , I am Sophia, what's your name?" I asked with a big comforting smile.
He looked at me for a few seconds debating on whether to reply or not. Finally deciding to reply , he smiled at me .
"Ethan." He still looked doubtful of me but I wasn't upset. I like the fact that this little boy was smart enough to not easily trust a stranger.
"That's a nice name and how old are you sweetheart ?"
"I am five." he said with a proud smile. His expression showed that he believed himself to be a big boy.
"Aww, you're a big boy then?" He nodded, satisfied by the recognition. I couldn't help the stupid grin stretching on my face. Talking to kids always did this to me.
