Chapter 116 - Doesnt Accept Guests

Chapter 116 - Doesn't Accept Guests

Sophie drove straight to Lucy's house, she had been out with Lucy for dinner and drinks and had driven her home that night so she knew the address quite well. She drove at speed through the night, not stopping. Upon arriving outside of the Green residence, she kept the engine on and waited the high black iron gates didn't open for her so she turned the car engine off and parked the car just outside of the gates.

She got out of the car with her phone in her hand and left her driver's door open, she rang and rang Lucy's phone number but after the first call had rung out the second and third call all had been sent straight to voicemail. Sophie realised that either Lucy's phone was off or she had blocked her number.

Either way, it left a sour taste in Sophie's mouth in anger she threw her phone and it slammed off the pavement, she was livid she felt used by Lucy. She walked towards the gates and pulled on the gates, shaking them. The tall black iron gates rattled with the force but they didn't open.

Sophie glanced to the side and saw the intercom on the wall, she walked over and hit the button. A long Buzz could be heard as she left her finger on the button, she wouldn't leave until she spoke to Lucy. She saw Lucy as her only hope now for her future. Lucy had said many times that she had influence and knew a lot of big businessmen so she needed her help.

Suddenly she heard a voice through the intercom, "Good evening Green residence. How may I help you?" A male voice came through the intercom.

At first, Sophie was startled by the older man's voice, she had wanted Lucy so she had it in her head that it would be Lucy that answered. She let go of the button and fixed her hair. She thought that if Lucy knew people of influence so would her father.

Sophie calmed herself down and replied, "Hello, My name is Sophie. I am Lucy's best friend and I have something of hers that I need to return to her. May I come in?"

The male voice answered, "One moment please."

Sophie was surprised that it was this easy, she glanced in the direction of the Green household. The doors opened and she frowned. A man dressed in a black suit with a white shirt approached, he seemed to be in his fifties. But he didn't look like a businessman.

She straightened up as he approached and called out, "Hello, are you Mr Green?"

Tom approached Sophie and greeted her with a warm smile, "Hello, my name is Tom I am the household manager of the Green household. Lucy is not home this evening and I am not sure when she will be home. I can take the item if you want to return it to her." He glanced down at her empty hands.

The girl looked like she had been through something, with red puffy eyes and her hair in disarray. Tom felt sympathy for her, he wondered what she had been through but he surmised that it was Lucy's fault.

Sophie held her hands behind her back, she had nothing with her to pretend to hand to Lucy, "Em it's okay, it's personal. I would like to give it to her myself." Sophie bit her lip, she wanted to try her luck, "It is cold out and I have driven a long way. May I come in and wait?"

Tom sighed as he replied, "I am sorry Miss Lucy and Rachel are not at home and they may be out very late. I cannot let anyone inside to wait."

Sophie balled her hands in fists, this man was blocking her chance. She had to keep calm and try to persuade him, "But I am a young girl and drove a long way, it's already late. Can I not come in and wait in the heat? Is Mr Green not at home… I could keep him company."

Tom had seen it all over the years and could see through peoples lies, he knew she was up to no good, "I am sorry Miss but Mr Green doesn't accept guests of Racheal's or Lucy's in the home and he is too busy to entertain." Tom made his tone firm hoping that the young girl would take the hint.

But Sophie was stubborn and didn't want to give up so easily, she had seduced many men into her way of thinking before and she was sure that a butler and Mr Green wouldn't be an issue for her. She smiled and leaned on the gate as she fluttered her eyelashes at him, "But I could just wait inside by myself, you can't let a young girl like myself go home this late at night and look it is starting to rain." Sophie held her hand out and the rain had started to mizzle down.

Tom sighed as he felt the rain start to pour down, he did feel bad for the girl in front of him as she had obviously fallen for Lucy's tricks. He turned and walked back into the house, he heard her call out to him but he ignored her shouts. Once inside he picked up a guest umbrella and walked back towards Sophie.

Sophie was angered when he had turned around and left her standing there, she shouted after him and she felt lost but then gained some hope when she saw him return. She thought he must have gone to get keys so she smiled and started to thank him, "Thank you so much, I really appreciate this."

Tom held out the umbrella to Sophie and she took it from him through the gate, he saw the confusion in her eyes. He felt compassion for her situation so he wanted to impart with some words of wisdom, "I don't know what has happened or what you are going through. But might I suggest you choose your friends more wisely in the future? Do not listen to others so easily, have your own thoughts and opinions. Not everything that glitters is gold in this world.." Tom then walked away from the gate leaving Sophie to shout after him.
