Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 617

Chapter 617

“Hi, Miss. Hanging out alone? Mind if I have a drink with you?”

Sophia raised her head to look at the handsome man before smiling. “Suit yourself.”

“I’m Jacob. What about you?”

“Sophia.” She wasn’t shy to introduce herself.

Even though the wedding was strictly hidden from the public eyes, everyone knew that the Presgrave

Family was the richest family in the country. Just entering its name into the search engine was enough to

know how wealthy they were. Similarly, the invited guests were surely from high society. Thus, Sophia

wouldn’t mind the idea of getting to know some new friends here.

Sophia and Jacob really clicked right from the start, especially after knowing

that they had graduated from the same high school. Time flew by as they were engrossed in the

conversation. When the music stopped, the night tide began to rise.

She sprang to her feet abruptly. “What time is it?”

“It’s still early. It’s almost 10.00PM.”

“Huh? It’s almost ten? I’ve been out for more than an hour? I gotta go now. Let’s talk next time, Jacob.”

She bid Jacob goodbye hastily.

“Sophia, do you work here?” He was curious, for the guests were allowed to enjoy their time the whole

night without worries.

“I-I came with my friend, but I gotta head back earlier.” She couldn’t find the right words to describe it as

she had no right to attend the wedding in the first place.

Turning her head, she was nonplussed by the unfamiliar environment again. Which way leads to Arthur’s

villa?

“Jacob, do you know where Villa No. 58 is?” questioned the distraught woman.

“Yeah. It’s quite far, though. I’ll lead the way.” Jacob was willing to help a beautiful and adorable girl like

Sophia.

“Really? Thanks!” In fact, she was a little afraid because the route was deserted, so she was pleased to

have company along the way back.

They blabbered on and on while heading back. Although his eyes showed infatuation for her, Sophia was

so dense that she deemed it as his outgoing personality. The guests are nice. It’s probably they’re having

a blast here.

When they arrived at Villa No. 58, she thanked him, “Thank you for sending me all the way here, Jacob.

This is where I stay. Be careful on your way back.”

“Can I see you tomorrow too?” Jacob asked.

“Tomorrow-”

“Why don’t we exchange our numbers? We can have a cup of coffee together someday,” he suggested.

“Sure.” Sophia wouldn’t reject someone who had helped her.

Unbeknownst to them, someone was hiding in the darkness at the balcony on

the second floor. Due to the quiet environment, he overheard their conversation.

“See you tomorrow.” Jacob took a few steps back and almost stumbled over a stone.

“Watch your step.” She stretched out her hand to hold him and he grabbed it reflexively to keep his

balance.

He let out a wry smile. “Sorry for scaring you.”
