CHAPTER TWO

SOFIA

" Good morning Mr. Cameron" I greeted immediately as I took my seat.

"Morning Mrs. Spencer" Mr. Cameron greeted me back. I felt uncomfortable with him calling me that name. That was my ex-husband's surname.

"I'll prefer miss Ivans please" I replied trying not to sound rude.

" I understand my dear, so let's get started"

We spoke lengthily about the whole divorce procedure. I made Mr. Cameron understand that it will be very difficult to get Travis to sign the divorce paper. I know for sure he will prove stubborn because of some contract he wanted to hit so badly with one of the biggest endorsement companies in town and there was no way he will achieve that as a divorcee. The contract will be awarded to married people alone.

" you have nothing to worry about Miss ivans, I will make sure He gets the papers before the end of the week," Mr. Cameron said. " but I will have you know that you have to pay for the state attorney services, my Secretary will send you an email with every detail you need to know" he added.

" Thank you so much, sir, I appreciate" I replied as I was about to leave.

I left the lawyer's office with mixed feelings, first I was pleased about the whole divorce, I don't need to go home to a grumbling husband anymore, and nobody is going to boss me around and throw abusive words at me again. The whole thing felt like freedom to me

But again, I didn't have a job, and to get this freedom I so much desire I will need a job to pay the lawyer, and also Tristan's medical bills. Since I am no longer married to Travis don't think the Spencers will aid with my brother's medical bills anymore.

I knew I needed a job, a good-paying job at that and I needed it fast.

I was about to board a taxi when I heard my phone ring, I looked closer to check the caller was and it turned out to be Becca

" Hi bestie" I greeted

" what's up baby girl, are you done, how was the meeting, did it go well?" she asked

" calm down girl, so many questions, which one will I answer first" I replied and laughed lightly.

"anyone, so hit me up how did it go?" Becca asked again.

From her voice, I could tell she was nervous

" it went well, he promised to get the divorce papers across to Travis by the end of the week. He also said I will be paying for the state attorney services" I replied

"That's okay, we will figure out how to settle the payment issue but the good news is that you are finally going to be separated officially from that asshole". She added

" yeah, the thought of that alone gives me inner peace something I haven't experienced for a while now. By the way, are you done shopping?"

" yes bestie, I want to help mom make a list of things she will need to buy for the orphanage, she will be visiting there next weekend. But don't worry, I will see you at home when I'm done. You just make sure you don't stress yourself okay?"

"Okay mom" I replied laughing, I heard her laugh out loud too before ending the call and boarded a taxi home.

My mom was alone at home when I arrived home, " good afternoon mom" I greeted

" you are home already, how was your meeting with the lawyer?"

" it went well," I said

I noticed she was staring at me meaning she was not satisfied with my response. " is everything okay, you don't look like the meeting went well. Did something happen?" she asked looking worried.

" the lawyer said Travis will get the papers this week, and I have to pay for his services. Now that is my problem, how do I get to pay him, I don't have a job nor do I have money anywhere"

" Don't worry sofia, we will find a way out" I heard my dad's voice I looked up and saw my dad standing behind Me.

I was about to go to my room when I heard my phone beep with a message, I looked at it and saw a notification on my email,

"The lawyer has sent me an email already," I said as I was about to read the contents of the message to my parents who seem eager to hear.

I was surprised when I read the contents of the message

It was an email from one of the biggest modeling companies and it read

" Good day, miss Sofia ivans

Thank you for your submitting your application to our company

We will like to invite you over to a job interview tomorrow

We look forward to seeing you

Thank you"

I looked at the company name again to be sure I was not dreaming.

My parents asked if I had applied for a job opportunity but I told them no. funny enough I don't remember submitting my application anywhere, so the whole situation seemed weird to me.

I sat down looking confused when Becca walked into the house. " Good afternoon aunt Amelia, uncle Andrew. why is everyone wearing a confused look?"she asked

I handed her the phone without uttering a word.

I saw Becca's face light up with a heavy smile, " I did not send in my application, this must be some kind of misunderstanding" I said breaking the silence that enveloped the living room now.

What I witness next got me and my parents stunned, Becca was beaming with smiles " I knew they'd pick you, OMG ain't you lucky" she said wrapping her both arms around me

" what's going on Becca, why are you so excited about this," my dad asked

" I'm sorry bestie, I came across the advertisement for workers at Exquisite Entertainment two weeks ago, I remember you saying something about getting a job so I decided to help you apply. I'm sorry I didn't say a word about it I just didn't want to get your hopes high" she said trying her possible best to look sorry now

" How did you get my documents to apply for it?" I asked

" come on Sofia have you forgotten I have the flash that has all your documents scanned in it?"

" still at that, don't you think you should have told me from the beginning, I mean it's not like I am going to get any anyway" I replied her

I wanted her to feel comfortable, I don't want her to feel bad besides she was just trying to help

" thank you so much, Becca, I think it's up to sofia if she wants to take the opportunity or not" I dad said to Becca and my mom nodded her head in agreement to what he said

" It's too sudden, I am not even prepared for this and the interview Is tomorrow how on earth am I supposed to get myself for in less than 24 hours. " don't worry we will figure it out" Becca replied.

I hugged her tightly, Becca has been more than a friend to me. we attended the same school for high school to university while I majored in business administration, Becca majored in Accounting.

I graduated from the University, with a first-class honors,

But my marriage to Travis didn't allow me to work.

"Let's get your hair fixed for tomorrow" Becca said breaking free from my hug. " okay," I said as I stood up

Becca took me to a salon close to our house and had them fix my hair. " oh my God sofia this looks so good on you" she said when the hair stylist was done. Becca paid and we left for the house.

My mom was done making dinner by the time we came back. We are together and I retired to my room for the day after seeing Becca off. I had a big day ahead of me and I had to plan well for it. When I got to my room I took out my phone and searched for possible questions asked during an interview, I went through it and slept off afterwards.
