I didn't come here to ask her out, so I nodded. "That's okay. Just let me know whenever you're free, okay?"
Sophia nodded. "Sure, I'll do that."
I saw the relief in Sophia's eyes after she agreed to let me know when she was free. I smirked inwardly.
Seeing how eager she was for me to leave made me eager to stay. Unfortunately for her, she was not going to get her wish yet.
"There's something I wanted to discuss with you," I finally said in a more serious tone.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and I could sense her nervousness as she replied, "What is it?"
“Could I come inside? I think it’ll be better if we discuss it inside.”
I watched as she bit her lip, unsure of what to do.
“Is there a problem?” I raised an eyebrow. I was slightly losing my patience. What did she know about me that made her this wary of me?
Her behavior also made me feel a sense of loss, which I didn’t want to dwell on.
“No. My house is just a bit messy.” She chuckled awkwardly. “Come in.”
I gave her a slight smile as I entered her house. However, I didn’t check her house out as I turned to face her after entering what looked like the living room.
From the little I observed when entering, I could tell she liked classy furniture.
“What did you want to talk about?” She asked. I noticed she no longer looked nervous and couldn’t help quirking an eyebrow. Was it that she felt more comfortable in her house?
I stared at her for a while before a large grin appeared. Sophia’s eyes narrowed as she took in my expression, waiting for me to reveal what I wanted to say.
I decided not to disappoint her. “I have a proposition for you.”
Chapter 7
Sophia
"Ihaveapropositionfor you," Matteo said, his voice steady and his gaze locked onto mine.
I felt a mixture of curiosity and apprehension as I looked at him. A proposition?
The word held weight, and I couldn't help but wonder what he had in mind.
I wasn't entirely sure of his intentions, and a part of me couldn't help but feel wary.
"What kind of proposition?" I asked cautiously, my eyebrows furrowing.
He took a moment before responding as if choosing his words carefully.
"I've been thinking about your situation, and I believe I might have a solution that could benefit both of us."
My curiosity peaked, and I leaned forward slightly, urging him to continue. "Go on."
Matteo's lips curled into a faint smirk as if he anticipated my reaction.
"I run a company that deals in cybersecurity and other areas, and I've been looking for someone skilled in your field to join my team. Someone with your hacking abilities could be a valuable asset."
I blinked in surprise, taken aback by his unexpected proposition. I had never imagined that he would suggest something like this.
The idea of working for him, especially given my recent experiences, seemed too good to be true.
