Love In Danger novel Chapter 9

"This is for you," he handed me the bottle of wine and a small wrapped box which I took warily. Does this mean he wants to drink it together right now? "My driver can take you to the airport later if you would like."

"That would be nice, thank you."

He nodded, "well goodbye Sophia." He turned on his heel and I watched him walk to the elevator just as he did 2 months ago although this time I did not tell him I loved him and he didn't either. The doors of the elevator slid closed and he was gone.

Why did he come here? A little part of me hoped it was for more than just a goodbye, but that is Noah for you. Never acts until it is too late.

I tossed the small box onto the table and cracked open the bottle of wine. I felt the smooth liquid slide down my throat in an attempt to ease the pain I am feeling. I know leaving is the right thing to do but it hurts so much.

"Sophia!" I heard my name called from the other side of the office. I glanced up from the photocopier to see my boss gesturing with his hand telling me to go to him.

I pressed the stop button on the machine and left what I was doing there hoping to get back to it quickly.

I approached his office, "good morning Mr Quinn."

"Please take a seat Sophia we have some things to go through," My boss Patrick Quinn said as he sat back down in his chair located behind his large mahogany desk. I did as I was told. "How are you finding it here so far?"

"I am in love with the atmosphere here, it is exactly what I hoped it would be when I applied. I'm still learning the ropes but I absolutely love it," I told him truthfully.

"That's what I like to hear which is why I would like to offer you the position of assistant journalist. It's a new position I want to trial here at Penn-news which I think is perfect for future interns."

"I am not an intern Sir."

"I'm well aware darling but with expert abilities but lack of experience I think you would thrive here with me." He gave me a wink. I immediately felt uncomfortable and shifted in my seat. I noticed his phrasing but brushed it off, he seems to want to help.
