"So you've heard about Clarisse's arranged marriage?" Nicholas asked.
"Yes."
"So Clarisse told you about it," Nicholas said.
"Not much," Sophia admitted.
"When I asked Clarisse who it was with, she told me to come to you," Sophia admitted next.
"Me?" Nicholas asked.
"The man Clarisse is being put in an arranged marriage doesn't happen to be a distant family member or friend of yours, does he?" Sophia asked Nicholas candidly.
Nicholas shook his head.
"He's not," he denied.
Sophia sighed in relief before she heard what Nicholas said next.
"He's my brother."
Had Sophia been drinking, she would've choked on her beverage.
"Your brother?!" Sophia nearly yelled.
"What's he like?" She decided to ask for Clarisse's sake.
Nicholas pursed his lips.
"I don't know actually," he answered.
Sophia then remembered what Angelica told her.
He was the black sheep of the family.
