The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Meanwhile, Sophia, the target of their evil scheme, was still clueless about the ill-motives and evil plan Marcus's friends and Jade's group were plotting against her.

She was still on the dance floor together with Matthew. He was holding her waist while Sophia's hands were placed on his broad shoulders.

Sophia didn't expect that Matthew would invite her for a dance. For some unknown reason, she felt secure and comfortable with his presence.

Maybe, Zhen-Zhen's story helped her to be at ease in Matthew's presence. For the past few days, she couldn't understand why Zhen-Zhen always talked about Matthew.

Zhen-Zhen praised and complimented him several times, telling Sophia about Matthew's nice personality. 

If she didn't know that Zhen-Zhen had already a husband and that husband was Tristan Davis then Sophia would think that Zhen-Zhen had a crush on Matthew.

Whenever Sophia and Zhen-Zhen would talk in their favorite spots, Zhen-Zhen would always bring up Matthew. Then the two of them would end up talking about him.

Little did Sophia know, Zhen-Zhen was doing this because she wanted Sophia to know the good qualities of Matthew. She even gave her the idea that Matthew was still single and available.

Sophia didn't believe it at first. Matthew was a perfect boyfriend material based on Zhen-Zhen's words so how come he didn't have any girlfriend yet?

Zhen-Zhen explained to her that Matthew was a workaholic. Besides, being an assistant of Tristan Davis was not easy. Tristan gave Matthew lots of stress and work in the past, especially when he was still flirting with other women before.

Matthew would always take cover for him and clean his mess and scandals with women. So, Matthew didn't have enough time for himself or even to find a girlfriend. He was very loyal and dedicated to his best friend who was also his boss.

Sophia was still recalling the things Zhen-Zhen had said about Matthew when he suddenly spoke up.

"I'm sorry," that's the first thing that came into his mind.

Sophia raised her head to look at him. She gave him a questioning gaze.

"Eh? Sorry for what?"

Matthew looked straight into her eyes before answering her.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your moment with Marcus. I know you want to spend more time with him but here I am, dancing with you," Matthew said apologetically.

Sophia was stunned for a moment after hearing that. After a few seconds, Sophia's giggle bubbled up on the dance floor.

Matthew paused for a moment, enthralled by her soft giggles. He felt like he was mesmerized at that certain moment. All he could do was stare at her intently.

"Sir… I mean Matthew, you don't have to apologize for that. This is an acquaintance party so everyone is allowed to mingle with others." Sophia said after she stopped laughing.

Matthew gave her a grateful look. "I'm glad you didn't mind. It's my great pleasure to dance with the smartest girl here. This is my first dance tonight."

Sophia couldn't help but giggle once more. "I didn't know you are also good at flattering women. Thank you, Matt."

"I'm just telling the truth," Matthew softly said to her, pulling Sophia's body closer to him.

Sophia was surprised by that sudden action from him. But she didn't mind it. She just anchored her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his chest. She could smell his cologne and masculine scent.

They stayed like that for several minutes until the song was finished. The band started playing another romantic song.

"Sophie?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you tired? Do you want to rest now?" Matthew asked her worriedly. But deep inside, he was hoping that Sophia would say 'no'. He still wanted to spend more time with her.

And Matthew's wish was granted when Sophia shook her head. "I'm not yet tired. Besides, this is my first time attending this party. I seldom dance as well so I will just make the most out of this."

Matthew let out a husky laugh after hearing that. His heart was singing with joy.

"Alright, I will be your dance partner for now until you get tired," Matthew declared in a suave tone.

Sophia giggled once more. 

"Sure, why not. Besides, I am certain that no one will ask me to dance again. Only you and Marcus."

"You're wrong. With your charm, you are attracting more men. Maybe, they are just shy to ask you." 

"Hmmm, you think so highly of me, Matt. Maybe my appearance changed but they could still see me as the nerd boring girl."

"I like it," Matthew simply stated.

Sophia frowned after hearing that. She gazed up again to meet his eyes. 

"You like what? You like the fact that they could still see me as the nerd boring girl?" Sophia asked, pouting her lips while glaring at Matthew.

Matthew burst out laughing when he saw her reaction.

"No. I'm not referring to that. I mean I like it when you are calling me Matt. I feel like I am very close to you." Matthew corrected her wrong assumption.

"And another No. You are not a boring nerdy girl. You are an amazing person. That's what I know." He said those words while looking straight into her eyes.

Sophia was rendered speechless. She didn't know what to say after hearing that. Matthew's penetrating gaze was making her heart run wild against her chest.

'Eh, this feels so weird. Why is he looking at me like that?' Sophia suddenly became nervous for some unknown reason.

A blush had subconsciously overtaken her face, making her cheeks scarlet red. She could only bite her lower lip. Then she saw Matthew flashing his most charming smile.

'Damn! He's gorgeous.' Sophia thought to herself.

Then Matthew leaned in and whispered something to her.

"You are cute and pretty… especially when blushing."

Sophia: "..."

Sophia felt very embarrassed. She wanted to hide from him so what she did was buried her face on Matthew's chest. Matthew couldn't help but chuckle. He just pulled her closer, rubbing her back and stroking her hair.
