We sat silently for a moment, the gravity of the situation sinking in. Finally, Keisha spoke.
"Let's put that aside for a moment. Let's focus on the job offer itself. From what you've said, it sounds like an amazing opportunity, right?"
I nodded slowly. "Yes, it does. I can't deny that."
Keisha leaned in, her eyes earnest.
"Then maybe you should consider taking it. If Matteo wanted to harm or kill you, Sophia, he probably wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. He's got connections, right? He could have easily made you disappear without offering you a job. He would have done it already if he knew you had witnessed the murder."
Her words hit me with a dose of logic that I hadn't fully considered. She was right.
If Matteo had malicious intentions, there were easier ways for him to achieve them, but there was still a nagging doubt, a fear of the unknown that held me back.
"But what if this is all part of some elaborate plan?" I countered, my voice laced with uncertainty. "What if he's trying to get me killed."
Keisha leaned back, giving me a thoughtful look.
"Sophia, I know you're cautious, and that's a good thing, but don't let fear hold you back from potentially seizing an incredible opportunity. You've got skills, girl, skills that this guy seems to value, and even if you decide to give it a shot, you don't have to go in blindly. Do some research and learn more about his company and reputation. Knowledge is power, remember?"
I blinked, surprised by the sudden shift in perspective. Keisha was right. I had the power to gather information and make an informed decision.
Maybe it was time to set aside my apprehensions and take a chance.
"But what if things go wrong?" I asked softly, my uncertainty still lingering.
Keisha smiled, her expression reassuring. "Then you'll figure it out."
I nodded and inhaled deeply. Maybe she was right.
Taking a deep breath, I pulled out my phone and dialed Matteo's number.
The phone rang, each second feeling like an eternity as I waited for him to answer.
When he finally picked up, his voice was calm and composed.
"Hello, Sophia."
"Hi, Matteo," I began, my voice steady despite lingering nervousness. "I've thought about your proposition, and I accept."
Chapter 8
Matteo
AsIheardSophia'svoice on the other end of the line saying she had accepted my proposition, a sense of satisfaction washed over me.
I couldn't help but smile, leaning back in my chair with a contented hum. It seemed my intuition had been right.
Despite her initial hesitation, I felt she would ultimately accept.
“I’ll send you the details of your job later in the day, along with your start date.” My lips rose in a wide smile.
“I look forward to working with you,” I said as I ended the call.
Her acceptance had multiple layers of significance. Firstly, it meant that I would indeed have the opportunity to harness her impressive skills and expertise in my technology company.
Her abilities aligned perfectly with our work, and I knew she could contribute greatly to our projects.
This was a professional advantage that I couldn't ignore.
