Twisted Love

"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."
