Chapter 619
“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

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.

“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.”
Sophia withdrew her hand with a smile, “Watch out. There‘s plenty of stones here.”
“Alright. Bye.” He waved his hands and left despite the heavy heart.
After watching him leave, she took a deep breath and wheeled around, only to find the doors were closed, but she
neither had the card nor the password to open it.
“Oh crap! How am I going to go inside?” Her face scrunched up in distress. causing the man to snigger while
observing from the second floor.
“Young Master Weiss! Young Master Weiss! Are you in there?” she shouted at the closed door.
Arthur came down in a black pajamas with a glass of wine in hand.
Sophia‘s face brightened upon seeing him. “Young Master Weiss, could you open the door for me, please?”
Lying against the door frame, he gazed at her through the glass. “Mind telling me who allowed you to go outside
without my permission?”
