Not bothered anymore. Not concerned about hurting them anymore. Not contemplating the meaning behind the facial expressions of her parents. Because she is done with them.
If she survives the marriage, then she will look forward to actually living and enjoying life and maybe experience love.
Her family, who were trying to be 'the well-wishers and loving parents who have to let their daughter go', her relatives who were wishing her well and giving her advice just a few minutes earlier were stunned by this sudden outburst.
Sophia stares at them. All of them and she smirked in disappointment. Well they never loved her, never cared about her, never trusted her, only provided her with high secondary education, denied her the college, or further studies, said no for a job, treated her like a maid, cut her wings and caged her.
That's why she hides the fact that she is a working woman. Although she has qualified the toughest interview of the country and is currently working at a higher position there, it would still mean nothing to them. What's more they would try their best to make her leave that job. That's why it's her secret and she would never expose it.
~~
After leaving the hall, she simply went inside her room to bid farewell to the place she never felt. But the anger inside her just engulfed her rationality and she simply collected all the items in the room that could catch a fire and ignite the matchstick and throw it on the bedsheet.
As expected soon the fire ignited and the flames started engulfing the room. Sophia was so consumed with rage and being wronged that for a moment she considered burning in the fire and ending her life for once and for all. But the moment she closed her eyes, ready to accept her chosen fate, a smiling face of a silly girl flashed in her mind.
The girl who was Sophia's everything. Her world. Her protector.Her love. Her elder sister.
Sophia's heart ached just by imagining the pain her sister would have to go through when she would find out about Sophia's suicide. Thus, she decided to survive. To struggle, until she meets her elder sister. Kirti Rajput.
She kicked the door open, which had been weakened by the fire and left the house. She didn't take anything from the house or look at anyone, as one more glance and she might regret coming out unscathed from the burning room. She found her way out of the place she spent eighteen years of life in. At the entrance, the car was waiting for her.
The new journey. The new drama. The new trauma.
If she survives this, then she will definitely find her sister.
~~ flashback ends~~
Sophia was trying her level best to reach as soon as possible, as the office timings started at ten AM.
And it was already ten-thirty am, which simply means she was late.
Holy hell.
In her whole year of working in this place,this is the first time she is late.
And the Devil is going to kill her for that.
She used the private elevator { the only elevator which go directly to Eightieth floor, the personal lift of the three high elite of The V International}
Within twenty-five minutes, she arrives with a ding.
And as expected of the devil, he was actually standing there.
Right in front of the elevator, watching someone's arrival with a sinister smile on his face.
This person was none other than the Ceo & MD of The V International, Mr. Virendra Singhania, nicknamed The Devil, Monster, Idiot, Stupid, Cold-hearted, Heartless, Iceberg and the list goes on. All the nicknames were given by none other than The GM (General Manager) of The V International, Miss. Sophia Rajput or should I say Mrs. Sophia Raichand.
She just simply breathed a deep, dejected sigh. She is dead.
" Good morning, Miss Rajput. I still can't believe that I lived to see the day when the great Sophia Rajput arrived late. Not bad! Any explanation!
Miss. Rajput! " Vir asked curiously, trying to control the smirk that was trying to appear on his face, as he watched the lost lamb struggling in front of him.
"Sorry. Boss." Sophia apologized, though she couldn't hide the sarcasm in her words. This guy and the word boss are poles apart.
Does he even know what the meaning of the word boss is!
Well, she isn't at fault. They have never ever treated each other as boss and employees.
Their relationship could be more accurately defined as Tom and Jerry. Tom As Vir and Jerry As Sophia.
Like in front of people, they always support and help each other. But when they are the only person left, then they both used to be at each other's throats.
Pretty interesting right!
~~
Well their first interaction and then upcoming all past interactions were no less than a disaster.
But there are too many of them. So, I will explain them one by one...at the right time and moment.
Till then hang on everyone.
Well it's not something indecent, in case of any confusion,
a little spoiler,
When everyone considers the company as a place to work,for them it ends up being their prank place, it's like who will get on other people's nerves better.
They used to play prank prank or more accurately it was prank war, which only dissipated after Ms. Lee joined the company and became the assistant of Vir.
~~
Vir firstly waited in case he got some explanation but when he finds out that she isn't explaining further, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
All thanks to Ms. Lee, this little girl has changed.
" Miss Rajput. Aren't you supposed to explain? " Vir probe, despite knowing her response.
' Me and an explanation! My foot. Why should I explain, when it's not even my fault!' Vir figured out Sophia's next words.
But she simply asked :" Sorry?"
Vir firstly gets shocked then disappointed at her sudden apology. But he couldn't help saying :"No need.", losing all motivation to continue the discussion.
