Sophie grinned at Adam. Adam quickly spun back to reality. “Let’s go grab a coffee. I could do with one at this time of night.”
“Thanks for showing me around!” Adam grinned.
“No problem,” Sophie smiled back. She paused. “I’d really love it if we were friends, Mitchell.”
“Of course we are!” Adam grinned.
Then Adam’s agent, Mike, called Adam, because he had a heap of paperwork to do.
“I’m sorry, Sophie, I have to go,” Adam apologized. “You know, this and that to do.”
“Oh, that’s too bad.”
“Maybe we could meet up some other time.”
“Of course,” Sophie flashed him a smile.
“Well, bye,” Adam said, and left her sipping her milkshake by herself.
Chapter Fourteen
The invitation
After many weeks, it was time for Sophie to go back to work at her Mr. Sandalwood’s studio. Mr. Sandalwood was waiting for her. He had a gold invitation in his hand and he was smiling to his heart’s content.
“What is it with you, Sandalwood?” Sophie asked.
“Well, I’ve organised you a great big party to celebrate the new year! Practically everyone who is to do with or participates with the media is going to come!”
“Oh, right. That’s great, Sandalwood!”
“Well, you’re going to have to come, ‘cause guess who’s the special guest, guess guess guess!” Mr. Sandalwood was literally jumping.
“Me?” Sophie tried, because she truly didn’t have a clue.
“No, your boyfriend, Adam Attenborough, of course!” Mr. Sandalwood took Sophie’s arm and started dancing around the room. Sophie withdrew her arm almost immediately with all the panic in her head. She didn’t even know this Adam Attenborough guy.
“But Adam can’t come to the party!” Sophie shouted.
