Chapter 19. Inside Sophie's Heart

Sophie's POV

“I won! Hahaha! I won!” I yelled as if I just won the lottery after winning the game of chess against Mr. Jacobs.

Mr. Jacobs smiled as he looked at me. “You learned it so fast.”

“You’re a good coach.”

“Well then, thank you so much.” He smiled.

I squinted at my wristwatch. “I didn’t notice the time because I was having too much time.”

“Me too, hahaha!”

How I wish I could just stay here with Mr. Jacobs forever.

He suddenly stood up. “Shall we go now? It’s quite late already and your parents might get mad if you go home even later.”

“I nodded. “Okay.” I took my bag and stood up, too.

“I will send you home.”

“You don’t have to, Mr. Jacobs. I have a companion anyway.”

“Huh? You have? Where is he?”

“She’s right there.” I said as I pointed to Vodka who was sitting on the other side of the coffee shop.

Mr. Jacobs nodded. “Your best friend?”

“M-More like a housemate.”
