Sophia's POV
I was talking to Char when I heard a loud voice.
" Nick , is that you?" I turned to look at the owner of the voice. There stood a red haired woman in a black plunging neckline dress. Her blue eyes and hourglass figure made her look absolutely stunning.
I saw Nick's shoulders were tensed a bit . He slowly turned to face the woman but his face didn't have any greeting or acknowledging smile.
" Clara." , It seemed like her name tasted bitter on his tongue. But the ignorant woman walked up to him and straight away hugged him . I looked at Caleb to see him extremely bothered . Last time I saw this expression was when Christina was at home but this time it looked more serious. I hope this isn't something like that.
"Who is she ? " Char asked looking curious.
" I don't know. Never heard of her." I replied keeping my eyes at them.
" Of course you don't. Must be another fling of that jerk-face." Char venomously said. Her words did strike my heart. I was desperately hoping that it wasn't.
Nick didn't return the hug. Instead he roughly held her hands and shoved her away. He turned to look at me , his expression calm, but his eyes pleading to understand. I didn't know what. So I did what I thought was right. I walked up to him .
He put a hand around my waist and smiled at me. I returned a small smile.
" Well well aren't you his pretty wife, Sophia , right ? I am Clara but you must be knowing me." She said with an arrogant smile.
" Well , I have never heard of you before." I innocently said which instantly wiped off the smile from her face. I heard Caleb chuckle.
" Then I must say you are ignorant." , She said.
" Or should I say, you aren't that important?" I retorted . A few people who were listening to us snickered. Clara looked really angry but decided not to work on it.
" What do you want?" I heard Nick who was coldly looking at her.
" You know that." She said as if Nick was dumb to ask that.

I sighed and spoke.
