Chapter 53: The Request

Having made up her mind, she looked at Vincent at the head of the table. Everytime she wanted to say something, her voice would stop working. This happened one too many times that Vincent himself noticed her strange behavior.

"Sofia? Is there something you want to say to me?"

Looking from her plate to Vincent, Sofia nervously asked, "I wanted to ask if I could speak with you alone after Lunch?"

With Sofia's nervous manner of behavior, Vincent nodded his head 'Yes' and went back to eating his food.

Vincent knew her body language all too well, Sofia would not be able to say what she wanted in front of all the workers. It was most probably a request and as she believed that she was a normal worker, Sofia would not want everyone talking about her behind her back.

Lunch ended very quickly for everyone but Sofia. All she could think about after Vincent's phone call, was how she would convince him on taking her and Johnathan along with himself on this business trip. It was for a week anyways and with Johnathan being attached to both of them, Vincent leaving them alone for that long of a time would not be ideal. Johnathan needed his father at night reading bedtime stories to him, and this habit would not be able to be changed till this trip next week.

Vincent left the dinning room but not before informing Sofia of his location, "I'll be in my office. Come there when Johnathan is taking his afternoon nap."

....

There was a knock on Vincent's third floor office door.

"Come in."

Not even looking at who had entered the room, Vincent continued, "Take a seat and I'll be able to speak with you after I finish with this file."

Sofia had come to Vincent after Johnathan had fallen asleep in his room after lunch. This whole process took half an hour as Johnathan had to be changed into his sleepwear before going to bed.

Now that she was this close to asking Vincent what she wanted, he had stopped her. This was both good and bad as she was still not sure how to word it. With this extra time, she slowly chose her words carefully.

Having finished reading and signing the document in his hand, Vincent was ready to listen to Sofia. He had a feeling Sofia wanted to go to France as well, as this sudden desire of talking with him alone had suddenly come after his phone call with his assistant at lunch.

"So.... What did you want to speak to me about Miss McAne?"

Jerking in her seat, Sofia looked at Vincent in surprise. His question had come out of nowhere for Sofia. She had been busy picking her words and did not notice when he had finished with his work.


Chapter 54: The Request Continued

"So.... What did you want to speak to me about Miss McAne?"

Jerking in her seat, Sofia looked at Vincent in surprise. His question had come out of nowhere for Sofia. She had been busy picking her words and did not notice when he had finished with his work.

"I wanted to ask if... if.... if I could go to Paris with y....y....you?" Sofia shuttered.

"Reason?" Vincent asked in a monotone coupled with a poker face.

Looking at her hands in her lap, Sofia replied, "I wanted to ask for three days off next week in order to go to Paris."

"Hmmm." Vincent voiced his intent for her to continue.

"I have stayed here for almost 3 months now and have not been able to see my fiance."

Hearing the word fiance, Vincent interrupted, "Fiance?"

Not getting his point, Sofia continued, "Yes. Ben my fiance. It will be his birthday next week and I wanted to go for a surprise visit. We have not been able to contact each other very often and he thinks that I would not be visiting him for his birthday."

Getting lost in her thoughts, Sofia added, "This will be his first birthday as my fiance and I wanted to be there with him."

Coming back from her daytime, she looked at Vincent, "My plan was to take 3 days off, 2 for the trip there and back, and the 3rd day to spend with him. But now that you would be going there for work anyways, by taking Johnathan and I as well, I would not need 3 days off. I would only need a day off."

No matter how much he wanted to deny taking her with himself, Vincent did not think any of his reasons would be good enough for him to still look like a good guy to her.

"What day do you need off on?" Vincent asked after a short pause.

Surprised, Sofia sat up right in her seat, "I would need the 17th off."

"Which is....?" Asked Vincent for more information.

"Which is the Sunday of next week." Sofia added.

"Ok... Then get yourself and Johnathan ready for this trip. This will be Johnathan's first trip out of the country. You will have to take care of him there as well." Having said what he need to, Vincent went back to work with his mood not being the same.

Sofia looked at Vincent with a smile and said, "Thank you. You will not have any complaints." in gratitude.

After the conversation ended, Vincent was left alone in his office. Looking from his work related documents to the window located behind him, Vincent got up from his chair and walked to the head to toe window.

"I knew she was engaged..... But hearing her talk about him in person...." Vincent began to shake his head from side to side slowly with his expression turning colder every second.

"Think about him all you want right now, cause after this trip it will be me. Only be me."
