"You should have informed me that you were coming today,I would have asked Cheng to pick you up" Christen said as they enter the elevator
" If I told you, it wouldn't have been a surprise anymore" Lui Chen rolled his eyes
" Aren't you afraid that your eyes might fall off with this your continuous rolling? Sophia questioned mockingly
"Then aren't you afraid of getting aged without having a boyfriend!! Little Treasure retorted back
"What! You brat?!! Before Sophia could grab hold of him, the elevator beeped open, Lui Chen took the chance to escape
But as they all stepped out of the elevator, they heard a melodious laughter coming from a office
They all were so sure that the laughter belongs to Chanty
"You are truly funny Mr Spencer" Chanty's voice confirm their suspicion
On hearing Spencer's name, Christen balled his fist angrily,he could feel the hotness in his heart
"Huh? Who is Mr Spencer? Lui Chen asked innocently
" Someone who is about to dîe from my hand" Christen seethed his teeth angrily before taking a long strides towards Chanty's office
On getting to Chanty's door,he kicked the door open
Spencer and Chanty who were busy chatting inside spranged up Immediately the door was kicked open
Seeing the cold look on Christen's face, Chanty became nervous
"Shen Lingyu"Christen called Spencer's full name angrily
Spencer lips twitch as he saw how furious his brother look
"Brother is not really what you think" Spencer smile nervously as Christen cold eyes were glaring hard at him
" Really? Then what is going on? Lui Chen asked instead
On seeing the little boy beside Christen, Spencer needs no soothsayer to tell him the little boy is his nephew
"Little nephew I was only accompanying your mom since she has no friends here" Spencer explained as he was still unaware of Sophia's presence
Sophia on the other hand was trying her best not to get affected by Spencer's presence
"Is he hitting on Chanty? She thought
" What's my business,he can like anyone he wants to after all it's been" she snorted in mind
" And why will you accompany her,if she is lonely daddy will be in better position to do that not you" are you trying to woo my Mom? Little Treasure asked suspiciously
Hearing his son's word, Christen felt more furious than before
"Is that true? Christen asked with a growl and Spencer's body trembles
"No.. No... It's not true,I was only trying to make friends with her" Spencer replied truthfully
" If that should be the case then, don't pass your boundaries" Christen warned and Spencer nodded immediately
Spencer glance at Little Treasure who was staring at him with a smirk on his face and he rolled his eyes
" Like father like son, two devils" Spencer thought in mind
" Why are you here Chen? Chanty asked trying to calm the atmosphere
"He has every right to be here so don't question him"
" I was the one who brought him" Sophia speaks up
Hearing the farmiliar voice, Spencer diverted his eyes to the door and he was surprised to find Sophia
" SOPHIA!! He called out in shock
Seeing the surprised expression on Spencer's face, Chanty concluded that Sophia and Spencer were farmiliar with each other
"Do you two know each other? Lui Chen asked
"Yes! No! Spencer and Sophia said respectively
"Don't mess up my brain, which one is the correct answer? Lui Chen asked frustratedly
"I don't know him! Sophia retorted
" Of course you did, how could you forget your boyfriend so quickly! Spencer pouted looking unjust
"Boyfriend??? Lui Chen and Chanty chorused in shock
"He is not my boyfriend! He is no one! Sophia shouted glaring hard at Spencer
Christen who was still annoyed about Spencer and Chanty interaction ignored their ranting and walk to where Chanty was and pick her up
She yelped in surprise before regaining her composure
"What are you doing? Put me down! She shouted and tried to wiggle out of his hold
"Stay put or I'll throw you down! He threatened and Chanty became quiet at once
Seeing that she is no more resisting anymore, Christen glance at Sophia and Spencer who were still staring at each other
"You two can settle your dispute, am going to my office with her" he said and walk out
After he left, Assistant Cheng left for his office also leaving Little Treasure with them
**
"Christen drop me! People might see us! Chanty shouted as Christen carried her inside his office
"Who cares if people sees us, I'll just tell them that you are my woman" Christen sneered in reply
" When did I became your woman? We are not married neither are we dating" she scoffed as he drop her on his table forcing his legs in between her laps
" Is this your way of telling me to ask you out? Christen teased with a big smile and she was dumbfounded
"You are really misunderstanding my words Mr Shen"
" Call me Mr Shen again and I'll kiss you right here till you are breathless! He threatened and she gulped down nothing
"This is really unfair" she pouted and he chuckled
"Nothing is unfair baby" he smirk and kiss her lips unexpectedly
Chanty blink her eyes repeatedly in shock as she felt his soft lips on hers
Her brain went shut for some moments before she finally regain her senses
She tried to free herself from his hold and kisses but it was impossible as Christen refuse to let her go
Chanty who knew it was impossible to free herself decided to succumb to the pleasure, she started kissing him back in the same pace more to Christen's surprise

MEANWHILE AT CHANTY'S OFFICE
Sophia and Spencer were still staring at each other as none of them were ready to start the talk
"This is not a staring competition, fight if you want to fight, don't keep me waiting" Lui Chen who had been watching everything boringly shouted in annoyance
But to his surprise, Sophia and Spencer acted like they heard nothing
"Geez! Those two really ignored me! Lui Chen muttered in embarrassment before standing up from the chair
"I'll get even with the two of you" he glared at them before walking out of the office
After little Treasure went out, Spencer decided to break the silence
"How have you been Sophia? He asked gently
" Not your concern" Sophia replied coldly
" Sophia I know you are annoyed_
"Why will I be annoyed with you, you are just a stranger to me" she cut in and turn to leave
" Sophia" he called and held her hand back but her next action stunned him
SLAP!!! She landed a deafening slap on his face
"BĂ stard! She cursed slowly as tears welled up in her eyes
"Eight years! For eight years, have been waiting for you to return! Stupid me thought something bad had happened to you but here you are safe and sound
"Am sorry Sophia,a lot happened which__
" I don't need your explanation! She interrupted before he could say more
" We are now stranger so don't you dare think of showing up your face in my front again! She added sternly and turn to leave
He tried to follow her but a glare from her restricted his movement
"Follow me and I swore to make you an impotent for life! She threatened and Spencer shriek back in fear
Sophia left immediately and he let out a sigh
Her hostility was entirely his fault,if he hadn't broke his promise eight years ago, she wouldn't be treating him like a stranger
Sophia was his girlfriend when he was still living at the outskirts of the city with his mom
On the day he was brought to Shen's Mansion,he made a promise to Sophia that he will come back to find her but he never did
"I just hope you will be able to forgive me" he muttered sadly
