"Because I don't think that you like me. You are out of my league! You are too good for someone like me." Sophia lowered her gaze while biting her lips after saying those words to Matthew.

She was just an ordinary college girl with no extraordinary background. She didn't come from a wealthy family.

How about Matthew? Though he was Tristan's assistant right now, his family background was still extraordinary. He would take over the Wilkins family business soon. Sophia felt inferior because of that.

The gap in their social status was very large. How could Matthew like her?

She knew that wealthy families would tend to marry off their children to someone with equal status in society. With this thought in mind, Sophia didn't see the possibility of her being with Matthew.

This was not a Cinderella Story in the modern world. Even if she would have a chance to date Matthew, still she couldn't see herself being married to him.

She knew she was looking at the long-term and long-lasting relationship, not something like this. Matthew could dump her any time especially if he would meet a beautiful wealthy woman.

Sophia was afraid of the possibility she would just end up being hurt if she would let Matthew in her life. She just wanted a simple and happy life.

She didn't want to get involved in those dramas wherein the guy's family would be against his relationship with an ordinary woman who was not rich.

Meanwhile, Matthew sighed deeply after hearing Sophia's last statements. He held her chin, lifting it up so that she could meet his eyes.

He didn't like to say his next words without her looking at him. He wanted Sophia to see how sincere he was about pursuing her.

"Are you hesitating to give me a chance because you are afraid that my family will be against our relationship? Are you thinking that the Wilkins Family is like those other rich families who care so much about social status?"

Sophia bit her lower lip once more before nodding her head. Matthew arched his eyebrow when he saw that.

"Sophie, stop biting your lips. It makes me want to kiss you again," he warned her.

Sophia immediately stopped biting her lower lip because of Matthew's warning. Her heart started racing fast again at the mention of the word kiss. She was blushing again.

'How can he say that? I'm so embarrassed right now.' Sophia complained inwardly.

"Sophia, just give me a chance. I will prove you wrong. My family is not like that. We don't think that we are better than others. We don't care about social status or high standing in society. All we care about are the people whom we love."

Sophia was taken aback by his words. She looked at him with disbelief.

'People, whom they love? So what does it mean? Is he telling me he loves me?' Sophia didn't know what to think or how to feel right now.

"What do you mean? And why me, Matt? Why me? I bet there are lots of women more beautiful than me out there who want you. Why do you want to court me?"

Matthew's lips curled up into a gentle smile. "Do you have to ask me that? Of course, you know the answer already. It's because I like you."

Sophia was rendered speechless again. She opened her mouth to say something only to close it again as she didn't know what to say. Matthew just threw a bomb on her. She didn't see this coming. She had never imagined this.

'How would that be possible? Why me?' Sophia was still in doubt with herself. She could hardly believe it.

'Please, Matthew. Don't lie to me. And don't look at me like that. I might believe you. I don't want to get hurt.' Sophia thought to herself. She couldn't say it out loud.

"I know you don't believe me right now. But give me a chance. I know you are wondering why you, instead of other girls. I don't know how to explain it. It's just that I just woke up and realized that you already became a special person to me."

"The first time I met you… the first time I talked to you… I just felt very comfortable with you. And after getting to know you more… I started thinking of you more often. You would just suddenly pop up in my head."

"I was also in denial. Yes… I admit I didn't plan on pursuing you. Do you know the reason why?" Matthew also tried to express his feelings for her.

"Why?" Sophia asked him curiously.

"Because I also thought you would never like a man older than you and you would prefer someone whose age didn't have a bigger gap with your age like Marcus."

"Nevertheless, I'm glad that we found out that Marcus is a total jerk so I don't have to worry about him. He is already out in the equation," Matthew added, letting out a soft chuckle,

Sophia: "..."

"Anyway, since I already took this courage to confess to you, I wanna ask you again. Disregarding our social status, can you give me a chance? Can I court you and prove to you that my feelings for you are sincere?"

Matthew was staring at her intently, anticipating her reply.

But instead of answering him, Sophia asked him in return. "Are you sure about this?"

"Of course, I am. I will take everything seriously when it comes to you," Matthew promptly responded to her.

Sophia fell silent for a moment, thinking hard. She was still having a difficult time deciding regarding this matter. She knew Matthew was a good man. He was very thoughtful and kind.

She was always grateful to him because when she was in trouble he was there, saving and protecting her. He was an epitome of a gentleman. It's not so hard to fall for him.

But… she was afraid. What if things between them would not work out? She would end up getting hurt. Would she be able to handle it? Because of the incident with Marcus, Sophia was still having a hard time trusting men.

But deep down, her subconscious was telling her that Matthew was different.

'Should I take this risk?' she asked herself. Then she averted her gaze to Matthew.

Her eyes locked on his eyes. She could see the sincerity in those beautiful orbs. After contemplating for a long time, finally Sophia nodded her head as an answer.

"Okay. I'm giving you a chance." She softly mumbled.
