Twenty Eight
SOPHIA'S POV

She will know that you are the worst friend ever–

I could not get these words out of my head. It kept playing in my head anytime I gave it the chance.

Victor had not picked up his calls or replied to my message for days.
Guess he is still annoyed that I didn't get to agree with him.

"Whatever.." I scoffed and got myself out of the stupid thoughts.

"I don't have to let him handle everything like he said, he needs assistance..." I smiled, knowing how many things I had on my mind that were so fucking evil.

"Get me the securities." I snapped my fingers immediately.

I poured a drink into the glass as I crossed my arms and waited for them to walk in.

"Ma'am, you sent for us." One of them snapped me back to reality.

"Yes, I did. I guess you are familiar with the man that comes here to visit me, Victor?" I gave them a stern look.

Just in case any of them wants to snitch.

"Y–yes, we do." They chorused.

"Good. I need you and you.." I selected two out of the four men that stood in front of me.

"I need you to keep an eye on him. Whenever you sense something that looks fishy, make sure you report to me before you even make a move of confronting him." I made sure that all I said resounded in their head all the time.

"Yes ma'am."

"As for the both of you...." I paused and examined them for a few seconds.

"You two can leave.." I ordered them.

I had in mind to send spies to search for Elara, but then I just remembered that I do not trust anyone and I don't know who is working for Liam.

I may think I know him but I am sure that he had his own way of getting to know things. I don't want to be a victim of failed love, just like Elara..

I let out a soft smile while staring into nature.
Today is not going to be a quiet day, I need to get something to keep myself busy.

"That reminds me. I hadn't visited the company in a while." I scoffed.

Since I took permission to mourn my best friend parent's death, they haven't checked on me.

"Then I am more useless than the books on my shelf." I grinned.

I hadn't given out a letter of resume so I had to put on the most casual clothes. I got my scarf around my neck.

Staring at the mirror, I remembered the insult I had to take because of how careless Liam was with my love for him.

"I hope it repeats itself but in a better way and I want to have Alora in my hands begging for mercy." My hands folded into a fist when I thought of this. I found how angry I was when I thought about it.



"Hey, what brought you back? I mean we thought you would never come back for us " One of the workers that I barely spoke with tried so hard to be nice.

I scrunched my face and walked past her.

"You thought?" I mumbled with a smirk as I got to my Manager's office.

I knocked lightly on the door. He must have been having a good time and I didn't want to interrupt.

"Who's there? You can take the damn file to someone else to sign.." He roared, breathing heavily in anger.

"I'm without a file, sir."

He snapped her fingers twice. There were noisy arrangements.

"You can come in.." He said finally.
I twisted the door knob and opened the door and found the innocent girl walking out of the office. Her face was buried to try ground as she walked away.

"When did you finally remember that you have an office to get on?" He leaned backwards.

My eyes slowly drifted from the girl that walked away back to him.

"What are you looking at?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I am just staring at the beautiful one you choose today." I smirked and sat on the chair in front of him.

"Sorry for staying away that long. I am back to work now." I spoke boldly, even when I felt there would be something about that.

"Well, the board will decide your resumption. We will send a message to you when you are called back." He clenched his hands and leaned on the table.

I stared at him for a long time. I don't know what I was expecting but I hope that he was going to change that statement soon..

I tilted my head and raised my eyebrows.

"I mean what I just said." He spelt every fucking word

"Seriously?"
I scoffed.

"When I left, I don't remember telling the board about it."

"Yes but your duties have been unperformed and they are in search of someone to replace you."

"Well... I'm back!!!" My patience has expired and now I want to get out.

"You have to wait..."

"Fuck it!!" I drew my lower lip in between my teeth.

I walked out of the office annoyed. When I got to the end of the corridor, I put on a fake smile on my face and walked away.

These bitches waiting to see me break.

I got to the house annoyed as always, I don't get to go out any day of my life and come home happy, I must come home looking like a cursed bitch.

I pulled out my phone to call Elara.

"Just so she doesn't say I don't care." Ugh, she isn't picking up.

Just when I was about to throw the phone back into the bag, a message popped up.

Victor?

He probably wants to apologize.
I chuckled and opened the message, only to read that Elara has been found and now I have to meet her.

I have to check on her. That is a really frustrating thing to do.
