Sophia's Pov.

After another failed job interview, I return home.

Opening the door and entering inside I saw both my step mom and dad dressed in formal wear.

My step mom looked at me happily said "Go change we're going outt!"

"To where?" I asked while placing my purse on the dinner table.

"A billionaire ask if we could join him for dinner and we agree. Today we're gonna try our luck and see if they can make a business deal with us" dad said happily.

Hmmm...who could it be?

"Take this and go get ready, we're leaving in half an hour" mom handed me a dress and a pair of heels.

"Where did you find the money to buy this?" I asked. The clothes and shoes looked very expensive.

"It was a present from the billionaire" dad replied and I give him an confuse looked.

"Why--"

"We don't have time to answer your silly questions! just hurry up and get ready. We need to go!" mom push me towards my bedroom and lock me inside.

I sigh and placed the stuff on my bed. I strip off my clothes and went into the shower. Turning on the shower, I let the warm water run down my body and my mind instantly relaxed.

After taking a shower, I dried my hair and apply lotion to my skin. I then got ready. I put the dress that my mom give me, and then strap the heels on. It was a short red a v-line dress and a pair of black block heels.

For my hair I let it down and curled it and I apply massacara and lip gloss and that completed my look. I grab my phone, one of my purse and head downstairs.

Upon seeing me, my step mom looked at my clothes. "Finally, you looked like a real lady" I heard my mutter and I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

"Come on! We're gonna be late!" dad said and we all exit the house.

I locked the door and turned around to face a black limo stopping in front of us.

I haven't ridden in one of these in a long time!

The driver came out if the limo and opened the door for us and we sat inside.

The limo started and we were off to the billionaire house.

"I feels I rich again!" My step mom happily said while running her fingers on the limo seats and I sigh at her.
...

We pulled up at a big mansion. It was bigger than my old mansion and very beautiful.

"This way" one of the maid said and we followed her into the huge house.

It was even more beautiful from the inside.

We passed a very big living room and head to the dinning room. The interior was pretty and the decorations looked like it was decorated by a professional. I've never seen such a beautiful house in my life.

"You may have a seat" the maid said politely and we all sat down. "Mr. Knight will be down in a couple of minutes" she said and left.

My eyes wonder around the room and study every details of it.

"Tea?" Another maid asked and I took a cup along with my parents.

"Thank you" I said politely and she smiled at me before leaving.

...

Mr. Knight's Pov.

"You called me?" My grandson Jacob asked.

"Yes! Have a seat" I response to his question and he sat down in my office.

"What you want to talk about?" He asked

I took a deep breath before replying "marriage"

"Grandpa! We've talked about this before--" he started but I cut him off.

"She's different. I can assure you that"

"Grandpa! I'm not ready for marriage!" He yelled at me.

"You're 26 Jacob! I wanna see my grandkids before I die!" I shouted. I'm started to get annoy by him.

He looked at me and sat their silently.

"Look, she's coming for dinner along with her parents. They should be arriving in a couple of minutes. I'm gonna put her to some tests and see how she reacts to it and if she reacts well, I'm marrying you off to her whether you like it or not" I explained to him and he pull his hair in frustration.

"And what if I refuse?" He asked as his eyes met with mine.

"Then I'll take back all my shares from you and give it to your cousin. Do you want that?" I asked raising a brow and his face expression changed to anger.

"Why would you do this to me?!" He yelled.

"I've already spoken." I got up and stood in front my office door. "Choose. If you agree, come down for dinner" I told him and exit, leaving him alone inside my office.

...

"Are they here yet?" I asked one of my maid, while heading downstairs.

"Yes sir, they are waiting for you at the dinner table" she said and I smiled and dismiss her.

I set my collar and head down stairs. Entering the dinning room I saw three person sitting on the table.

"Hello" I greeted them and the all shook my hands.

"I'm George Knight" Introduced.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Knight. I'm Paul Scott. This is my wife Deborah and my daughter Sophia"

"Nice to meet you all. Please, sit" I said and they sat down again.

I sat with them and began a conversation while my maids were preparing the dinner.

After talking for sometime, the food was finally ready. My maids began to set the table and they brought in the food.

There were baked chicken, salad, mash potato, fruits, Spanish rice, pasta, spaghetti and meat balls,red whine, fried chicken and a lot more foods flooded the table.

They all picked up their spoons and forks and began to ate. I was about to eat when I saw my grandson, Jacob, entering the dinning room and a smile was now on my face. "This is my grandson, Jacob Knight" I introduced him and they all smiled at him and introduced themselves.

He took a seat and his eyes instantly met with Sophia's. She took one glance at him and went back to eating while he continued to stare at her.

Has he already fallen for her?

It's time for plan no. 1

My maid came around to pour the wine in our glasses and mistakenly spill some red wine unto her dress and some was also spilled unto my Maid's dress.

"I'm so sorry!" my maid apologized and I looked at her to see how she reacted.

The next thing she did left me shocked.
