The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

" - and she was wasted ." Tyler said describing Skyler's first drinking experience.

" Oh , I can go hours without getting wasted." Jenny proudly said at which Max slapped the back of her head playfully. I loved spending time with these four people. They don't treat me like I'm their boss's wife unlike the others who unnecessarily sweet talk to me. They treat me like friends and that's what I wanted. We pull each other's legs , make fun of each other.

" Even I don't have high alcohol tolerence . My first time wasn't-" I was cut off when my phone started ringing. I mouthed them a sorry before picking up the call.

" Hello."

" Am I speaking to Mrs. Carter ?" A female voice asked. Mrs. Carter? Still seems a little weird.

" Yes , who's this ?"

" I am Sarah Adley ,the Principal of Ethan's school. I had tried reaching Mr. Carter but failed. I would request any one of you to come to the school now." She said.

" Ms. Adley , is Ethan injured or anything? Is he fine?" I was tensed at the thought of some accident.

" Don't worry Mrs. Carter, Ethan is absolutely fine but he was involved in a fight with another child and we are calling parents of them both." I sighed in relief.

" Okay , I'm coming as soon as possible."

I ended the call and started packing my things.

" Guys , I got to go to Ethan's school . I will see you guys tomorrow." I waved and started walking towards the elevator.

I knew Nick had a meeting with the foreign clients. So , instead of disturbing him , I just left a message explaining the situation.

Hailing a cab , I reached Ethan's school in about 20 minutes.

I walked towards the principal's office. Outside the office Ethan was sitting on a bench glaring at another boy who was glaring back.

" Ethan ." I called. He looked my way and ran to me.

" Mom , is Dad also here ?" Ethan asked looking behind me.

" No but will you tell me what have you done ?" I asked. Before he could speak , a lady came towards us.

" Ms. Adley is on a round of the school. Please come in and have a seat while you wait for her." She said. I looked behind to see the other boy with a man , his father most probably.
