CHAPTER EIGHT

Sophia got to work early as always, she entered the restaurant smiling "it's a very beautiful morning" she said putting down her bag.

"Sophia"

Sophia looked back and could see Mrs Williams coming in the restaurant "Good morning ma'am" she said smiling widely.

"Sophia. You are one wonderful lady and I really appreciate your hard work and your energy" Mrs Williams replied sadly.

Sophia who stopped smiling looked at her confused "did I do something wrong Mrs williams? Am I getting fired?" Sophia asked.

"No...no Sophia, you didn't do anything wrong" Mrs Williams replied. "I am really sorry for yelling at you yesterday Miss Hernandez, I didn't mean to say those words to you" she added.

"I feel stupid to have said all that to you, I didn't know your dad is....."

"What? How did you?...." Sophia replied eagerly "by any chance did Mom or Dad?"

"Yes your mom was here yesterday and I am really sorry Sophia but you are fired" Mrs Williams said as she walked away. "But..." Sophia watched her leave.

She dropped her uniform and ran out of the restaurant. Ashley could see Sophia entering a taxi . She called out her name but the taxi she got in had zoomed off

Sophia could see her parent house right in front of her, it is a very big white mansion with lot of decorations around it.

She dropped and shut the door angrily,

"Women" the taxi driver said rolling his eyes before he zoomed off. Sophia could see two of her Dad bodyguards running towards her.

"Don't come near me" she said angrily. Her mom who have seen Sophia coming out of the taxi came out smiling "here comes my beautiful Sophia" Mrs Hernandez said smiling at Sophia who keep walking towards her mom.

"Mom, why did you do that? I didn't complain about money to you and Dad...did I? And now you are paying my manager to fire me?" Sophia said angrily.

"Oh come on Soph. Stop acting all childish and listen to us, we deactivated your account because you wouldn't listen" Mrs Hernandez replied "you choose suffering and stressing yourself at that restaurant for 12dollars per hour? Sophia stop already" she added.

"How did I not listen to you mom? All my life I have been listening to you and Dad, there are lot of things I have missed out on..lot of fun things you made me miss out on. You and Dad feels me not having friends and staying indoor ordering everything I want is fun?" Sophia yelled at her mom as tears rolled down her cheek.

"No mom....this is my life and I can choose whatever I want with it and I am a grown lady and yes I am 27 mom...27, I am old enough to think on my own. You want me to marry the Morgans' right? Okay mom I will to make you guys HAPPY, but will you please stop watching my every step" she added looking at her mom.

Mrs Hernandez sighed "I am sorry Sophia" she said sadly. Sophia looked away as she wiped her tears with her left palm "I am leaving" she turned to leave.

"Sophia" Mrs Hernandez said

"You know mom, that work makes me so happy because I get to actually make my own money" Sophia added as she walked out of the big compound.

"Should we follow her" one of the body guards said

"No let her go" Mrs Hernandez said as she entered the house.

Sophia got out of her parent house as she started walking down the street "I hate everything right now" she said out angrily.

She finally got home as she got on her bed crying "what am I going to do now? Find another job?" Sophia said. She heard her phone ringing and ignore it

"I don't want to talk to anyone right now" she covered herself with a big blanket.

"Come to me"

She looked back and could see him again coming towards her, he pinned her against the wall and brushed his finger through her hair, firm grip on her throat.

"You are mine" he whispered in her ear as she moaned softly and could feel his hand running through her body. He kissed her deeply and she didn't know whose air she was breathing.

"Who are....."

"Shhhhh!" He kissed her even more, she finally surrendered to him.

Sophia opened her eyes suddenly. "Another dream?" She said as she got up from her bed "this is getting weirder" she added.

She poured herself cold water and drank it all "I need me a ride".

She got to Ava apartment and couldn't see her at home, she opened her garage and could see her car "my love" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Oh I miss you and I know you miss me more" she got in smiling "I have been having a bad day and you are the only one I could think about....don't tell Ava I said that though" she said laughing.

She drove out happily "feels like 10years" she said as she put on the radio and increase the volume "YESSS" she shouted out and drove faster.

She got to the traffic light and stopped for the red light, she looked beside her and rolled down her car glass window. She saw a handsome white man smiling to her"

Sophia blew him a kiss and rolled up her glass window. She zoomed off after seeing the green light

She got to the city center and parked her car by the road side "who has been calling me" she brought out the phone from from her bag

"Dad?" She said and could see a text on her phone. "You can now use your card baby, I have sent you enough money to do whatever you want" Sophia rolled her eyes and deleted the text message.

She saw another 5 missed calls from Ava.

"Hey girlfriend what's up?" Sophia said.

"Where are you?" I think someone stole your car from my garage and the stinky thief couldn't close my garage". Ava said through the phone.

Sophia laughed out. "You did that?" Ava said

"Where are you Ava, I miss you" Sophia replied.

"I will kill you when I see you...I am at home but don't come here because I will definitely kill you.....get me gummy bears though" Ava ended the call.

"Cray cray" Sophia said shaking her head.

"I think I am bit better now...thank you baby" Sophia hugged her car steering wheels. "I knew I could count on you" she started her car and drove off

She was on her way to Ava apartment when she saw Pete and Daniel coming out of an arcade, she parked her car as she rolled down her glass window.

"Pe...." she quickly dodged in her car "what am I doing? How do I explain my Maserati Gran Turismo to them? I am so dumb" she rolled up her glass window and zoomed off.

"Weird" Pete looked at the Maserati zooming off. "What is?" Daniel who looked at Pete asked.

"It's nothing I thought I saw someone..it's nothing I guess" Pete replied as they both walked away.
