Distant Love

Chapter 40



Inside the Mansion, Beatrix brought james an ice pack to put on his face. As he gently rubbed it against his face, he curiously asked "Where is uncle?".

Oh! he travelled for his check up; Beatrix answered while looking for a cream to apply on his face from the first aid box she brought.

So you mean you are alone?; James asked surprised slightly removing the ice from his face.

Yeah.... Well except for the workers around; she answered.

"Oh" was the only word he uttered before he spoke in his head "Oh thank God, please help me" .

Are you ok?; she asked as she noticed noticed him zoned out.

"HUH!" he uttered while blinking his eyes.

Hey whats the matter?; Sophie asked again.

Um nothing, i was just thinking about my face; James let out an awkward laugh.

Don't worry, i will take care of you; Beatrix replied with wide smile and pinched his cheek.

Back at Chris's apartment, he sat on the sofa thinking about Beatrix and James alone. The word "Alone" kept floating his mind, he balled his fist, his brows furrowed and his face darkened. He just couldn't let it go, he doesn't trust james when it comes to women, he knows him since childhood and he always likes to take advantage of nice women. As his mind was at war, he felt a slight warmt on his shoulder, he reflexively turned towards the source, but as he saw Sophie his mind was calmed and he turned back.

What's the matter?; Sophie asked with a calm and soft voice.

Its nothing am just stressed from work; He replied as he rubbed the space between his brows.

"Ok let me prepare you a warm bath then" Sophie then she turned to leave.

"Thanks"

She went to Chris's bathroom, filled the bath tub with warm water and lightly dipped her hand to feel the temperature. As she came out of the bathroom, she was met with a dazling display of beauty, Chris had taken off his cloths and had only a towel around his lower body. His body shaped to a perfect V, his chest looked firm, those 6 pack abs, his skin lit up as the light reflect against it, he just looked so damn enchanting, no woman can resist such perfection. Sophie's mind went blank with her mouth slightly opend and her eyelid lowered a bit, Chris noticed how she was staring at him, he felt awkward so he snapped his finger to wake her up. Sophie blinked her eyes uncontrollably as she came back to her senses, she lowered her head then took large strides towards the door. Chris gently shook his head then went into the bathroom.

Sophie lay on her bed and took her phone, she tapped it multiple times then put it in her ears, it rang for a while before someone picked up.

We need to execute the plan fast, i can't stay longer; Sophie spoke quickly.

Don't worry, it will soon be over; the person on the other side said with a cold voice. Sophie then disconnect the call and let out a sigh, then she pulled the blanket and covered herself.
