Chapter 15: Teasing Sofia
Fein was now being led by the bodyguards to the guest area. The opulence of the surroundings completely astounded him. A gold statue stands in the center of the garden, and nearby is a large fountain with clear water in which he can see his own reflection. The garden was also well-kept, with grasses in a variety of shapes, such as circles, squares, and even freaking triangles.
*Sigh*
Fein was not sure why they bother with this nonsense. ‘Do they have any practical value?’ or is it simply to maintain the appearance of grandeur?’ Is it possible that his mind is too small to consider such profundity? After all, a poor person like him will never comprehend the rich’s thought process.
“We’re here,” the guard said abruptly, startling him.
Fein looked in the direction the guard was pointing. A high-end door adorned with diamonds looked eye-catching. In response to the extravagant display, Fein could only sigh.
“You can go right there. We already notified the young miss, and she is waiting for you.” the bodyguard said softly before departing with his subordinates. “I hope you enjoy your time here.”
...
.....
A lovely young lady stood in a corridor, staring intently at the door five meters ahead of her. The guards had already informed her that an unexpected visitor had arrived, who turned out to be their savior. She was deeply disappointed that she had not been able to express her gratitude properly. They would have died a long time ago if it hadn’t been for the guy.
Even his father wishes to meet with him in order to gave him a reward for saving her. Above all, it will be a loss of face for them as a prestigious noble family if they can’t even properly thank their benefactor. Being ungrateful is not an excellent reputation to have... A family like theirs is so concerned with image and reputation that they will go to great lengths to preserve it. Fain would never expect his actions to be beneficial to him.
After a minute of waiting, that unresponsive door moved slightly and slowly opened. Sofia was now looking at the door with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She has a favorable opinion of the boy. Because he was the only one who gave her a sense of security during her darkest hours.
The door burst open revealing a man that stood in an upright manner. The man looked around with interest. He wore clear glasses and had wavy hair. He has an average face but a fit, muscular body, as evidenced by his tuxedo. Sofia gazed admiringly at the man. Despite this, he was not the most attractive person. However, the way he carries himself exudes confidence. His face was calm and collected, as if he was unaffected by anything; he had an inexplicable mellow temperament that made everyone feel relaxed just by looking at him...
As if feeling her glance, Fein looked at Sofia. After recognizing her, Fein projected a warm smile and walk towards her with a straight back and steady steps.
“Long time no see. How are you?” Fein smiled.
Sofia looked at his smile in a daze. She blushed and covered her face with her hands as if realizing what she was doing. Fein simply smiled with amusement when he saw this.
“I didn’t think that you would be the shy type,” He chuckled.
Sofia quickly recovered. She looked at him with a shy smile.
“I was looking forward to thanking you. If not for we would have died that day,” she said sincerely.
“Don’t mention it. I just did what I should. Essentially, helping should be common sense.” Fein smiled at her.
Hearing what he said, Sofia looked at him with awe. After all, it was rare to see someone with that kind of perspective. “You have a good heart. If only all people would be like you, the world would be a better place.”
“Unfortunately, that would be impossible. Ultimately, everything is made of black and white with grey in the middle. Good and bad are the faces of the same coin. If everyone is good, then what is the difference between a puppet? After all, making everyone good is the same as taking our free will. Even though it is a bit cruel to say, that was the truth. God gave us free will like what we wanted, and as a result, we had to bear the price of our freedom.” Fein winked at Sofia.
Sofia looked at him with a wonderful expression. She didn’t know what to say in the profound sentence he said. She was wondering how someone so young could say something like an old man.
“Hey, are you really twenty-three years old? After all, your mindset is too deep.” She asked hesitantly.
It took aback Fein when he heard Sofia’s question. Obviously, he’s making a joke. At first, he was just teasing her. He just made up nonsensical nonsense and said it eloquently. He didn’t expect Sofia to take it seriously, and the worst part is that she compared him to an old man. As someone who had lived two lives. When it came to his age, he was extremely sensitive. He also doesn’t understand why he would be concerned about something so insignificant.
“Hehe, I was just joking. Just treat it as my way of easing the mood.” Fein laughed awkwardly.
Sofia was speechless, as if she didn’t know what to say. After all, he makes perfect sense to her, and what he says has some truth to it. Even though she knows he was joking, she would be a fool not to notice that he was concealing something.
She was now more interested in him than she had ever been. There are only a few things that could pique her interest. Her eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a hidden gem, and it changed the way she looked at him.
Fain stared at Sofia speechlessly. He felt as if he had just done something he would come to regret in the future...
