Taming Mr. Cold and Arrogant novel Chapter 6

After hearing that, I started masking my face with a serious expression.

"Hi Sophia, I'm Andrew." and he literally walked around the table just to get close to her and take her hands.

"Hello, Andrew." she smiled at him.

"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful---no, how gorgeous you are?"

I gripped the backrest of the chair when he took her hand and brought it to his lips. If we're not in front of my parents, I'm going to drag him out of this house.

"Thank you, Andrew. You're not bad yourself."

"Ouch! Don't smile too much or I'm gonna have a heart attack." he acted like he really was having a heart attack, but the woman seems to enjoy it, even my parents who laughed at his old and corny joke.

"Ahem!" they looked at me, but my eyes focused only to him. "Andrew, you can now go back here so we can start eating. We still have a late meeting tonight, remember?" I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Ops! Sorry dude, I didn't notice you're jealous." and they all laughed again.

I narrowed my eyes on him. I wish I could fire him as my friend.

"Son, you can sit next to your fiancée." I heard my Dad who ended my death glare at Andrew.

"It's okay Sir, maybe I can take a seat next to Mrs Kelley."

My eyebrow raised when 'she' immediately sat down on my mother's left side. As if I really want to sit next to her!

"Okay, let's eat kids, honey? Daniel, Andrew take your seats now."

I sit across my mom's seat and Andrew across her.

Sophia's POV:

Throughout dinner, I can feel the pair of brown eyes staring intently at me. I know the person who owned those eyes but I acted oblivious. I also know that he's observing my moves, he's observing the way I talk to her parents. And I'll consider myself a big liar if I say, I wasn't affected by his creepy stares.

"Where are you from, Sophie?" I glanced up to the person who had asked me that question. It's Mr Kelley---the old Kelley.

I smiled before answering him. "Actually I was from Italy, Sir."

"Oh, call me Dad already, Sophie."

My eyes automatically darted to Daniel who dropped the spoon noisily onto his plate. This is really more getting awkward.

"Are you a pure Italian?" Andrew asked me next.

"No, I'm half American and half Italian."

"Hmm... such a good combination of genes. You looked like an angel sent from above."

I chuckled with his punchline, but I noticed how Daniel gave him a deadly look.

"By the way, let's talk about the engagement party." Mrs Kelley gets our attention. "Son, Sophia suggested if we can make the party even more private."

"What do you mean, even more private?" Daniel asked but his eyes were looking directly at me.

"More private, it means no media coverage and no public announcements. Let's just get some professional photographers to cover the whole event. And even at your wedding, let's just invite some relatives and close friends."

"And why do you want to have such a private wedding? Don't you want to become famous? A well-known woman who married a freaking billionaire---"

"Daniel Kelley!"

It's funny how his parents stopped him by mentioning his full name in unison. Actually, I've already guessed what he really wanted to say, but I just smiled at him. It hurts to hear those kinds of words, but I don't want to give him a chance to insult me more.

"What? I was just asking!" he shrugged and his lips curled up into an evil grin.

"Stop those nonsense questions of yours!" and he received a scowl from both of his parents.
