Lunch was spent in silence except for the occasional 'click' of spoons and forks. Sofia was not able to gather her courage and Vincent was not in the mood. Johnathan was the only one who was quite because of his hunger, filling his face with food did not give him time to speak at all.
Right after finishing lunch Vincent stood up, "I'll be in my office. Johnathan will come with me, so you can go and get some rest in your room." he said while looking at Sofia.
"It's ok, I'll take care of Johnathan. I'm not that tired. We will sit and play games anyway. So you can go and compete any work you have." Sofia did not want to stay in her room alone and having Johnathan with her would let the time pass faster.
Not listening to her at all, Vincent let Johnathan down from his seat, took his hand and left the room.
With everyone having left the dinning room, Sofia was the one one left. 'Mr. King is angry with me. What should I do? Should I go apologize to him?' Sofia was having a one sided conversation with herself.
Deciding to talk to him when he would cool down in a few hours, Sofia got up and walked out of the house and into the backyard. She was walking towards the pool area slowly, lost in her thoughts.
The closer to the pool she got, the more confused she became. 'Why was Mr. King mad at her? What did she do?'
Arriving at the poolside, she looked around the Olympic sized pool and then towards the pool chairs. Locating her glass of juice and the book she had borrowed from the library, she took slow and steady steps towards it. Sitting down on the chair, she picked up the book and held it in her lap.
Still holding the book, she turned her head to the right and looked towards Vincents study window on the third floor. She could not see anything from her angle, the lights were off and the window was one way, people could see out but not in.
She opened the book in her hands and began reading. Having finished the first chapter, she unconsciously looked towards Vincent's study's window. Looking back to the book, she began reading the second chapter but this did not last for too long. She had been reading the same page over and over again while taking quick peaks towards the third floor.
Not being able to take any more of this, Sofia closed the book and walked into the house. Looking at the grandfather clock in the living room, she noticed the time. Sofia had been outside at the poolside for two hours. This meant that she had been reading the same page for over an hour.
With everyone asking for regular updates, I have decided to release 1 chapter everyday. Meaning that you dont have to wait too long anymore.

The father and son duo had left the dinning room and made their way to Vincent's study on the third floor. Vincent had to read a few documents and did not want Sofia to tire herself with Johnathan right after waking up from the drowning accident.
Vincent had been mad at Sofia for coming late to lunch, but that anger was nothing more than jealousy. He was happy that Sofia and Johnathan were developing a bond, but Vincent did not want it to happen at the cost of losing time with Sofia himself.
Eventhough Vincent had taken Johnathan to his home office, Johnathan had fallen asleep with the first 15 minutes of entering. The rest of the time Vincent had quickly finished his work, ready to go and spend time his love.
Getting up and walking towards the window looking over the back yard, Vincent saw Sofia sitting at the poolside reading a book. The minute he was about to turn away, he noticed the person in question, Sofia, looking at his study window in longing and confusion.
His lips slowly tilted upwards creating a devilishly dazzling smile, and his eyes had a predatory glint. Sofia was beginning to develop a dependency on Johnathan and Vincent. 'Having her around in the house 24/7 was a good idea. She needed to listen to my orders and follow through with it in order not to upset me. And that subconsciously created an order of not upsetting me in general.' Vincent thought to himself.
"It is now time to start with the next step of the plan."
Vincent observed Sofia for the next half an hour. Sofia was continuously looking at his study's window and back at her book, with the time interval between looking at her book and his window decreasing, his smile broadened.
Vincent walked to his desk, pressed a light blue button on the homophone. Out came a voice with in seconds, "Yes Master. What can I do for you?"
"Come take Johnathan to his room."
With his order given, Vincent went back to the window to look at Sofia. Within 5 minutes, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Never looking away from the girl at the poolside, Vincent told the person at the door to enter.
Joseph the head butler had come transport the young master to his room to sleep. He picked up the sleeping baby, and made his exit. Joseph had left as quickly as he had entered, fast as lightning.
the minute Johnathan was taken away from the study, Vincent saw Sofia making her way to the house while occasionally looking up at where he was standing. Sofia had no idea that her peaking was not so subtle and had been discovered by the Big Boss.
With the way Sofia was looking towards his window, Vincent had discovered that she was going to come visit him within the next few minutes. And that was why he had called Joseph to take Johnathan out. He could pose as a distraction for Sofia.
With Johnathan no longer in the room, Vincent was ready to have a grown up discussion with Sofia. And no distractions to interfere.
