NovelEnglishAt the sight of Sophia’s reaction, Arthur curled his lips upward, complimenting her deep down for being smart enough to take off her high heels. In the meantime, Sophia caught a glimpse of two yachts not far away and noticed the bright lights on them, along with the loud music and cheers. Thinking it was Jacob and the others on those yachts, Sophia immediately approached the handrail on the edge of the deck that was closest to them.
On the other hand, Jacob happened to be catching sair on the deck when he saw an approaching yacht with a woman standing on it. Is that Sophia? Wondering if the lady was who he thought it was, he shouted, “Sophia!” “Jacob!” Sophia waved at Jacob when she saw him.

At that moment, Arthur was seen wearing a white suit, and it was as if he was the charming prince who was protecting Sophia from behind. Soon, the yacht that Sophia was on sped away and quickly disappeared from sight, because the yachts that Jacob and his friends were on wouldn't sail any further away from the dock. After the yacht left in a hurry. an annoyed Jacob clenched his fists and wondered who Arthur was.
As soon as the other two yachts were left far behind, Sophia entered the luxury cabin and sat down after having enough of the windy breeze. In the meantime, Arthur was enjoying himself with the desserts and beverages on the table while sitting on the couch with his legs crossed.
“When are we going back, Mr. Weiss?” Sophia curiously asked.
“Tomorrow.” Arthur figured he should start looking into the matter in which he had to choose a place where his late grandfather's grave could be built.
“That's good to hear! Can | go back hto visit my parents, then?” Sophia beseeched the man.
“You can give a call back home, but you can’t leave,” Arthur replied.

“From now on, I'm going to teach you how to be a qualified maid, Sophia. Until I'm satisfied with your performance, you will not be permitted to go anywhere.” Arthur jutted his chin, his eyes filled with indifference and nonchalance.
Sophia was stunned because she didn’t expect the man to say something so harsh to her. After all, she thought the reason he took her out for a cruise on the sea was because he was softened up a little to her. “Is what | found earlier really so important to you?” The lady asked.
“That's a one and only heirloom that has been passed down tothrough generations in my family.” Arthur squinted, gritting his teeth. “So, do you think that’s important to me?” Upon hearing the man’s reply, Sophia felt cold chills running down her spine. Oh dear! | guess I'm screwed for misplacing his heirloom! “Alright, I'll give it back to you in a year.” She tried to appease the man despite the panicky feeling that was overwhelming her on the inside. How am | going to afford that? | doubt | could make that much cash even if | sleep around for money. Suddenly, she shivered from head to toe when the chilly sea breeze blew amidst the cold weather at night. As she felt goosebumps all over her skin, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around herself to keep warm.
Meanwhile, Arthur noticed what was going on and took off his coat, which he threw at her. “Put it on.” Despite his indifferent tone, his actions were rather heartwarming.
“Thank you.” Sophia proceeded to put on the man’s coat. The warmth wrapped around her body, as well as Arthur's unique and pleasant scent. When she caught the scent of that, her face blushed in embarrassment. After spending more than an hour cruising on the sea, they both sailed back to the dock. At the stime, Sophia stood on the deck and looked at the man beside her. “Can | shout? Just to vent?” Thinking a shout at the wide sea would be a good relief, Arthur decided to go along with Sophia. “Go ahead.” Sophia then made a gesture of a trumpet with her hands and began shouting at splace far away. “Mr. Weiss, you're so freaking handsome!” Arthur was speechless upon hearing Sophia's words. Is there something wrong with this woman? “You're the most handsman I've ever seen, Mr. Weiss!” Sophia shouted at the sea as she wanted to amuse the man.
