I have difficulty editing all the S names in this book. If Salaar and Salah or Soniya and Sofia are mixed just ignore it.

Next morning Xander sat on the fluffy couch in front of the bed post, engrossed in his phone as he finalized the deals, closed the files of final reports and examined paper contracts in front of him as his wife still slept. He had decided and even talked to Sofia about moving back to their own mansion but she insisted that she liked here where there were people to talk to her. She said if his parents wouldn't mind, she would like to stay here for as long as they could. 

Xander didn't have a problem for staying over at his parents for vacations but he had to go back after New Year because everything was there - whatever he needed was there in the house and it would be difficult to accommodate here. He had told that to Sofia and though reluctantly, she complied to his wishes and agreed upon the compromise.

He closed his laptop when Sofia moaned and then blinked her eyes open. Xander flicked his gaze to her and then back to the papers in front of him.

"Good morning." He greeted, scribbling upon the papers. Sofia rubbed her eyes and pushed her wild hair away from her face as she gazed outside the window and groaned.

"Morning. It's still snowing!" She whined and covered her face with the warm blankets once again, "I hate it. Why won't it stop..." She wailed and turned around on the mattress, still cocooned within the blankets. Xander chuckled but didn't say anything. After a while of moaning and groaning, she finally removed the blankets and sat up on the bed. As soon as she did, a frown covered her features."Oh for God's sake Xander..." She groaned, eyeing the stupid papers in front of him.

"What?" He asked, smiling down at the paper he was currently writing on.

"Tell me you slept at least." She yawned.

"Of course I did. I just woke up."

"Must you work all the time? You will have white hair very soon." She stated. Xander lifted his face and shook his head, 

"It's the end of the year. I have to see every report is just the way it should be Sofia." He informed her.

"But still. You work more than your employees do. At least enjoy your vacations."

She got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom, not waiting for his answer because she knew he didn't have one. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she walked back inside the room and opened the closet, looking at the clothes as she examined them. She picked out a white sweater and leather jeans before walking back towards the bathroom. Sofia changed, brushed her hair back softly, trying to avoid the wound and walked back towards Xander who looked as if he had no care in the world. He was so engrossed in the pile of papers.

"Do you need a hand?" She offered as she sat besides him. She was pursuing business in university so obviously she knew what he was working on. Maybe she could help him. Xander on the other hand, gathered all the papers in to a neat bundle and placed them inside a file.

"Uh No. I will do it." He gave her a smile and closed all the files. Sofia scowled at him. Does he think I am stupid? 

"Come on. I can help you, I am a very bright student." She pressed. Xander looked at her and then gave her an apologetic smile.
