Sitting on her bed, Sophia was going through some files , when suddenly Maria came in with a goodie bag. She had this beautiful smile on her face and her eyes were shining with happiness.

"Look what Alberto got me!" She spoke in her French accent. Sophia kept the files aside and smiled at the lady.
"It's a goodie bag!" She laughed. "Which is filled with chocolates."

"Yes!" Sophia kept the bag on hr bed and sat down. "I have always loved chocolate. When I  was around 7 years old I started cooking. Well, I tried. My mother was a well known  baker and my father owned a bakery. Oh! Quels beaux jours! (Oh what beautiful days) Since then I  have always loved chocolate, and such goodie bags filled with them are just splendid.!" She looked up at Sophia and frowned.

"You look so gloomy mon enfant! What's  wrong?" She quickly brought her hand up to Sophia's forehead and then the other one to her own. "You don't have fever. Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas?" (What's wrong then?)

"Maria, English  please."

"Je suis désolé!(I'm sorry) I asked you what's wrong?"

"It's just I have a lot of work and I can't  seem to get a hold of all this. I thought I could get a break here in Paris but alas I'm  here working. I feel so exhausted"

"Maybe you should leave this for a while. Go take a dive in the swimming  pool or maybe go visit our gardens, they're real beauty" She said proudly.  Sophia smiled, "Firstly i did go to the gardens this morning and it's  really cold so i can not go swimming"

Maria sighed.

But then suddenly jumped up, ''I know what you can do! I'll call Zayn and tell him to take you to his amusement park! It's  a 1 hour ride but it will be totally worth it! Je dois l'appeler! (I must call him)" Without even waiting for a reaction she got up with her goodie bag and walked out of the room.

Sophia sat there still. What just happened?

"I'm  sorry you have to do this" She apologized  for the hundredth time.
Zayn smiled at her and shook his head, "I offered to show you around Paris, remember? And plus I got a day off my work, trust me, it can get really exhausting  at times.

Sophia nodded and thanked the man for the tickets. The amusement  park was filled with people which made it such a happy place.
"I feel like a little girl again"

"Well technically you are still a girl" He laughed. Sophia shrugged and looked around "Oh my god.." She whispered. 
Zayn looked at her with a confused expression and then looked at the place she was looking.

She couldn't believe he was here!

"Salvador! What a nice surprise!" She took a step towards him but stopped right there when someone's hand grabbed her wrist. "You know him?" Zayn asked with a blank expression.  It made Sophia worried, what was with all the Manhattan's hating Salvador?
"Yes he was one of our clients.." She lowered her voice a little, "And let go of me!"
She moved towards Salvador and his lips curled up in a smile.

"Sophia, what a nice surprise."

Sophia blushed under his gaze and smiled back,"What are you doing here?"
''Just business"

"In an amusement park? Wow, your client must be seven" Zayn spoke with so much hatred it made Sophia shiver. She turned around and gave him an evil eye, what was wrong with him.

"We need to go Sophia, it's  not safe here." Zayn muttered and Salvador  narrowed his eyes.

"What are you talking about we just came here?" Sophia looked so confused. Why did all these brother suddenly got protective around her when ever he's  around.
