Humiliated

The ladies restroom was suddenly flunged opened, catching Sofia off guard making her hide her phone behind her. 

"Look what we have here" Sofia didn't even bother trying to hide the sarcasm laced in her tone. Her eyes kept scrutinizing every part of her disdainfully. Alicia was suddenly drawn back by the voice she heard. She could remember clearly that hasn't offend anyone that would warrant such disrespect to her.

 Alicia slowly moved her head towards where the voice was coming from, she gave Sofia a meaningful glare (if its not Sofia, who else could it be?). Alicia turned her head back to the mirror while her hand continue working on her face, fixing her almost messed up makeup. She didn't have time exchanging useless words with Sofia, she just choose to ignore her like she always did.

Sofia was fuming mad angry being shunned by Alicia, who wouldn't stop ignoring her. She scoffed in bewilderment being ignored by Alicia.

How on earth can a nobody like Alicia ignore the most beloved daughter of a multi millionaire?. Yes Sofia wasn't wrong, Alicia was indeed a nobody. Since her mother was rumored to be dead and her famous father wouldn't accept her as his daughter in public, making no one know who exactly she was. No one knew who her real parent were, aside from her friends who still think of her as a bastard born into the house out of wedlock. They believe her father (Anderson Jones) had no other choice than to take her in, in order to avoid gossips flowing all around New york.

Alicia has gotten used to the ridicule, disgust look, and critics against her and her mother. She knew better not to try explain things to anybody, as they will just laugh at her the more and call her a lier. Sometimes she wonders why she has to live her life hidden, why her birth has to be kept a secret. she wished her father could step out one day and claim her as his daughter, she wish her rumored dead mother could enjoy her freedom back and continue being a singer. Alicia kept wondering if her father was this selfish, was everything really about money and fame?, does his family really mean nothing to him?, she most times ask herself this questions. Going all around the public, having Evian's mother(Anna) as his wife and Evain as his precious daughter. She couldn't understand why her own parents never agreed to faced the public together and clare all of this misunderstanding. Alicia most times wished she could live a normal life. But all of this were her wishes, nothing seems to come to reality.

Sofia wouldn't be the first to stare at her in a discomfit look, she was already used to such treatment.

Alicia slightly pressed her lips together after she was done placing a finishing touch of lipstick on her lips. "Looking as beautiful as always" she smiled to her self in satisfactorily.

She walked her way up to Ava since Ava wasn't done with her food.

"Are you planning on trying all the new dishes here?" Alicia asked half smiling at Ava while she made her sit. 

"If possible. I haven't eaten good food in a while" she said smiling back at her sheepishly, embarrassed by how she was eating.

Alicia wanted to tease Ava more, until she felt a hot sensation burning down her skin. Her chiffon white top was already stained with hot coffee, but she still stood her ground as her face remained blank, looks like she learnt something from Williams. Alicia knew she was short tempered and wouldn't have wasted any more time before she stom her beautiful face with hard punches. But this time, she decided to act cool just like Willaims, her fist clenched tightly under the table, trying really hard not to give Sofia that joy of seeing her in pain. 

Sofia finally satisfied her anger, she couldn't even careless by the cold expression on Alicia's face.

'This is what a nobody like you deserve' she thought within her self while her lips curved upward in satisfaction.

"Oooppsss!!!. My hands must have slipped" Sofia said while she gently massaged her hands. Her hands must have also been burnt by the hot coffee, with the way she kept trying to suppress her pain.

Alicia fist clenched more tightly under the table. She really needed to punch that her face, since it been so long she punched someone last. Of course she wouldn't do that in the company, and that's one thing she is regretting right now. She promised to her self not to act so unreasonable this time, knowing why she was here. She gently tried calming in her anger which were about bursting out while still maintaining her straight face. Alicia kept analysing how things should be done and avoid exposing out her cards just like how Williams always does, since she couldn't punch her right in the face now. 

Sofia knew Alicia wouldn't do anything and just ignore her just like before. She walked passed Alicia, raising her chin high victoriously.

"Humph!!!"she scorned expressing disdain towards Alicia.

But the head didn't last long on the air as Sofia felt something stumbling her feet, making her fall face flat on the ground.

Alicia knew no matter how hard she tries ignoring her, Sofia wouldn't stop testing her patient, leaving her with no choice.

"Ooopps!!! My leg slipped, must have been the shoe" she said sarcastically. "A nobody like me can afford to get good quality shoes" 

"Let's go" Alicia grabbed Ava hands drawing her from back from shock.

"That was really cool sis, but are you alright?. Oh no!!! Your hands are bruised already, they might leave a scar if not properly taken care of".

"It's fine. Good thing we have completed all the designes. It's just a small burn anyways, not amputated. See, I can still make use of it" Alicia said giving her a weak smile while she continued twisting her hand showing how flexible they were, as they made their way down to their department.

Sofia was left facing all of the humiliation.

"Looks like Sofia finally found her match" one of the staff said to Sofia while making fun of her. Her clothes were all wrinkled and dirty, it was soaked due to the coffee splattered on the floor. Sofia could swear she hasn't felt as humiliated as this before. No, she hasn't even faced humiliation before and this was really too much for her. Even her friends couldn't hold back their laughter seeing how messed up her face looked like.
