Sophia Censatio
Surprisingly, he looks calm. "Good! Go to jail to being homeless rather, do that to make your brother and sister's life miserable." He said it in an emotionless voice. I'm sure he meant every word that came out of his mouth.
"what kind of guy is he?” I thought as I stared deeply into his eyes. How can someone be so heartless and emotionless.
"whatever!" Finally, after a while, I gave up. I don't think I can take it anymore because in the end, I will lose while he wins.
"Make me coffee first thing in the morning, Okay? Make sure you're at the office by 8:00. I hate being clumsy,” he said without bothering me with a glance. I rolled my eyes, even though I know exactly what he's talking about. The clumsiness he just mentioned ends me here.
"I have no skill when it comes to this. I don't know how to do it," I lied. An excuse was all I was looking for. I don't want to work for him.
"I have all your files, Sophia." The way my name comes out of his mouth always makes my heart race. “You've worked as a waiter in four different restaurants, one of which is the most famous in the city. I'm not stupid, we met there, remember?'
"Yes, and you convinced my manager to fire me." I rolled my eyes annoyingly at him and said so. "I still don't know how to make coffee." I added again.
"You can go now, Sophia." he wave his hand to dismiss me.
crazy man! He already acting like a boss. "I am always late."
"No, you're not. You're always on time and everyone loves the way you treat customers no matter where you've worked" he replied.
"I'm going to put too much sugar in your coffee."
"No, you definitely won't do that."
"I'd add salt at the end. I'm a clumsy junkie... remember?"
"No. No matter how clumsy you are, you'll always pay attention."
"Maybe, I'll kill you. You know how much I hate you"
"You don't have that thought in your head or the guts to do something so despicable. All your records have been good so far, so don't bother painting yourself black." he answered with another smile. What happened to this man? he must have been mad at me by now, right?
“Being your personal assistant, I will know a lot about you. I can steal your money and get away with it." This time, he looked into my eyes and I internally screamed with joy. Yes! He hates me at this point. There is no turning back!
"Sophia, I have a lot of work on my desk as you can see. You can leave now. Come back to work Monday morning." He spoke in a very firm tone.
"What?! You still want me to work for you?!"
He smiled at me. "I'm not that stupid, Sophie. I know what you're doing, pissing me off and lying to me and making me feel like you don't deserve the job. It's a shame, but I have the good sense of humor to see all your crazy games. I want you to be my new secretary and I have no intention of changing that. Now, you have to work for me, Sophie."
"Don't call me that. My name is Sophia...Sophia is fine." I glared at him saying that.
“The love I have to talk to you, but I'm sorry honey, I can't talk to you all day. I have to make money."
what the?!!!!
I took one more look at him before leaving his office.
•"Hi Sophia! How was your interview today? Did you get the job?" Janet asked me. "Yes i was able to get it." I answered slowly.“Really?! You're serious?! You did get the job?! How about payment? will it reach us? Can it cover the cost? How about our school? I'm in 9th grade, you can't miss this opportunity Sophie, you know?""God! Of course, Janet. I paid for you and James tution fee, I've always been there so, you don't have to remind me that all the time. I know my job" I closed my eyes tightly before taking a deep breath out. "whatever!" she wave her hand in the air. "So tell me… where is this new place?" I looked at Nick before returning my gaze to her. "That place is Aaron's company." I answered honestly.
"what the?!." My brother exploded. "Why are you in his place? I thought you'd never work for him?" he added. “Nicolas, who cares if the company is right for us or not?" Nick hissed.Janet looked at me cheerfully and asked "Come on, Sophia, tell me... How much did he promise to give you? I hear he pays his staff well."
There won't be a way she ever shuts up until I tell her everything. "Yes, he promised me four thousand dollars in a month and I am to start next Monday."
"What?! D.. Did you say four thousand dollars? this is huge! I can't believe he gave you the job despite everything you did. He was very nice to you. I'm glad you didn't give up on him else, I would have been upset at you."
"Do I have a choice? He made sure no one offered me a job as he turned them all against me." I seethe through gritted teeth .
“What is it, Janet? Is that why Sophia lost her job and you just have to compliment him of a the things that has 🐝 happening?” He looked at her and I rolled my eyes."If they hadn't fired her, she wouldn't have been given this opportunity. He will pay her four thousand dollars. All she needed to do right now is to accept the job"
"I swear you lost it. Nothing needs to be explained to you because it won't help. Either way, you won't understand anything."
"And you think you're the perfect person here?" she asked raising an eyebrow at him. " I'm sorry, but you can be smart in school. Any kid in school, even Sofia, might think you're a smart kid, but not to me. you are just stupid and difficult to understand a situation like this"
Nick tried to hit her but I stopped him. "However! I have an exam tomorrow and I have to study. Good night, congratulations on your new job Sofia… On that, it is better not to cast off this job offer and do it. I will never forgive you if you don't!" she said menacingly before running to her room. Nick and I both followed her body with our eyes on her body until she was out of sight. At times, the way she has reacted to situations in this house has made me wonder if she was my older sister or me.
"Everything is fine with you?." he asked in a concerned tone. “You really don't have to do anything he's asked of you and it doesn't matter if he's rich or not… We can report or do something. You don't have to get worked up about things like that, just don't do it if you don't want to, Sofia."
“Nick, I'm stuck. I do not have a choice. It's problem. Everything will be alright. Also, the salary is good. I can pay for your school fees and I can pay for your mother's treatment."
“How do you want to do this? that mother's treatment is very expensive. Can't you forget the treatment for now... We can't afford so much! Did you not know how much her operation costs? thousand dollars! twenty seven thousand dollars! Don't tell me you got somewhere around where you can get that much money?"
"Nicholas!! I would never leave her in a hospital bed like that. I lost my father when I was young and I don't want to lose my mother either... You and Janet are the reason I'm here having the courage to keep pushing... It won't do us any good if we keep doing this. Discouraging me all the time, you don't help things at all"
"Look Sophie, I..."
“Believe, believe, Nicholas Censatio. You have to have that belief and be with me, I'm sure we'll be fine."
"Okay, sorry for what I said earlier... You are important to me and I don't want all of your expectations to fall apart. You really kept your hopes so high"
"You have a test, remember? Now go ahead. Go do something useful for yourself." I shooed him away.
“Sophia, I'm already 20 years old. I'm not the guy you used to order around anymore." He rolls his eyes at me.
"Okay then. Excuse me, Your Highness? There is a lot to do from my end if you don't have any."
"Don't tell me you're still on your way to drink? Do you know how bad it is for your health?"
"Look who's complaining." I said smiling. “Don't worry, I won't drink. I have one more thing to do before I go to bed. Also, I hope we can all go to Mom's tomorrow." As I added, his face suddenly changed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I don't know why you bother me with things like this. I don't want to go and I never will."
"Excuse me? It's your mother we're talking about here!"
he sneered. "She didn't treat me well when I was a kid. You must have made past of how she treated us, especially you, when dad died? came to the conclusion that I was responsible for my father's death. If I hadn't forced him to do it, he wouldn't have died like this,” he said sadly.
"Nicolas, I will repeat it as many times as I could...You are not responsible for my father's death."
"But mom kept accusing me for his death!!!"
. Sophia Censatio "Nick! Nicholas, come back!" "I need some time for myself." he said and walked away. Fourteen years ago I lost my father in a tragic car accident. Our family was a complete and happy family until his death. A few hours before Nick's birthday, he suddenly begs father to buy him something. Even though it was pouring with rain, he still try to make a wish come true for him, but he didn't come home that day. The next day we learned that he had been in a serious accident and could not get out alive due to the dark clouds. Of all the people in the house, my mother suffered the most because she was no longer normal. She also started to blame Nick for father's death. She was cold to him, and not just to him, but to me and Janet as well. A deep sigh escaped my mouth. He was right, I haven't had any love from my mother since my father died but she is still my mother and I will do my best to get her back on her feet. Suddenly. I was surprised by the sound of my phone. It is
Aaron SamuelSitting in the garden to. calm myself down before leaving then, I heard her soft delicate concerned voice. "Hey!" I look up and there she stood. "Hey!" I replied."Erm... Aaron, can we talk?." She asked in a careful tone. "Tiana, if you're here to also lecture me concerning what just happened in there then, I'm not in for it. I would like to be left alone, please." "That sounds rude, Aaron. Come on, I just want to help." She smiled and took a seat beside me. "So, how do you feel now?"I pass a glare at her and hissed. "Don't push me tonight, Tia. I'm not in the mood for this. Of course, you of all people know I'm not in a good mood right now." I said with my eyes rolled at her."Now I know the reason why mom wants you to get married. You can't even stop swearing, Aaron!" She hissed as she scold me whilst I glared at her in return."Just leave me the fuck alone, Tia.""You're still swearing!!""Christiana!!! ""Okay, fine, grumpy. I'm sorry. Can we at least talk? Ple
Aaron Samuel"The fuck would you utter such a terrible advise? You want me to marry that crazy girl? Where did that thought come from all of a sudden?. "" Aaron, it's was just a normal thought, I didn't mean to upset you. Plus, mom so wanted you to settle down and, getting you a girl you know nothing about is quite not healthy for you. That's why I being in this suggestion. I've known Sophia for a very long time now and, she's a nice girl wi-" "Enough! Stop it!! That's enough, Tia!! You called that crazy girl, nice? Despite being aware of what she did to me yet, you called her nice? You know what? I'm out of here. " I said in anger and left without waiting for her to explain herself." Aaron! Aaron, please wait." She immediately ran after me and blocked me with her small figure.A deep sigh left my lip and I mentally curse. " What the fuck are you doing?." "Can you just stop cursing? It's annoying when you-" She stopped in her mid sentence the moment she saw the look on my face. S
Sophia Censatio"Well, just so you know, lots of girls are dying to be his woman. And mom, she's been pestering him lately to get married but yet, he kept on refusing her. He doesn't want any commitment for now.""That's because he knows how crazy he is. That man isn't any woman's dream. He's a psychopath."Lies!" I don't think so. I think, you're only saying this because of what has transpired between you two. He's a nice man, Sophia, believe me when I said that.""Whatever. But, why are you telling me this, though?."" Nothing, just feel like sharing this vital information with you but I guess, you're not interested.""My point, exactly! I'm not interested. And please, can we stop talking about him? I don't want to talk about him, tonight." I said and she looked at me like I've just grown two heads.Whatever!"Fine!""So, how is life with you? What about your cute little brother, Nic?."" You mean, the sexiest?." I teased and we both burst into laughter. "So, where are we going to?
Sophia CensatioThey all look terrified, just the presence of him and they were all like this. We all turned around and at that moment, I wish the ground can swallow me. I can't believe what my eyes are seeing right now, the most popular, hottest billionaires in town are all standing right in front of me. Even though they're married, girls still want to claim them as theirs. I look through them and this beautiful woman is standing right beside Jacob. I saw her mouth 'SORRY' to the girls and I kept wondering who she is... I do not know all their wives, I might have been hearing a lot about them and, I only saw a few of them in magazines.I looked at the girls again and, they were literarily shaking already with guilty looks on their faces.. they shut their eyes tightly, they slowly opened them again and Lexy mouthed to them... 'NOW'They all stood up at the same time and walk closer to their man. Chloe clings her hand tightly around Chris. Lexy did the same thing with Leonard. Beth
Sophia Censatio"Good morning, Mr. Samuel." I hurriedly stood up from where I was seating and greeted him professionally. He has allowed me to work for him for the time being and, the only thing I could do is act normal with him. I wouldn't want to do anything to cross the line. I could recall as he told me last week he doesn't tolerate lateness. I made sure to be here at promptly, 7:50 pm. I'm sure, he would have nothing to complain about. His coffee is also ready too."Good morning, Ms. Censatio." He answered in a business tone and I swear, for a while, my whole body went numb.He got into his office and I followed suit right away like a lost puppy. Two days back, I was sent some files through my Gmail and was asked to go through them to know his activities for the week. It wasn't easy though, I had to go through every line and understood them.He took a sit on his chair and opened his system. " Have you gotten the file on the MXY project?." He asked."Yes sir. Here it is. " I pl
Sophia Censatio"This little pretty mouth, you're running it too much huh." He said dangerously as his eyes almost make a hole in my lip. "I saved your ass and gave you a job and, all you do is look down on me?." He added in a dangerous tone and I can now feel his warm breath fanning through my face. He looks scary right now.For some strange reason, I'm happy and, I feel I can press more buttons. He might change his mind afterward and fire me... I'm positive, I will be free from him and this crazy bondage he's put me in.I pushed him away fr me with my two hands but he wouldn't budge. "I never asked you to give me a job. I never wanted to work for you, you forced me to... So, I see no reason why I won't say whatever comes to my mind. You're nothing but an annoying jerk and-""Don't finish that statement." He cut me off with a hard glare on his face.I'm never going to budge because of his look, idiot!"Or what? What would you do? Why are you so afraid to hear me talk? Because you'r
W.. wh.. what?!!! "You did not just call me a bitch, did you?""And if I do, do you have a problem with that?" "Don't you think, you're being rude to me for no reason? For all that I know, I do not know you likewise do you so, why would you choose to judge someone you know nothing about for the first time of meeting? If I would judge you in the same way you do then... I would conclude you're nothing but a slut who throws herself at any man she comes across.""How dare you?!" She asked through gritted teeth and slapped me hard across my face. I felt a pang in my chest. I wasn't expecting that."How dare you call me a slut, you lowly bitch! How dare you?!" She asked again and pushed me. She took me off guard again, never do I expect anything like this from her. Before I could say or do anything to her, we both heard the telecom ringing. I wanted to answer it but she stopped me. "Don't you dare! Know your place, I'm still here. I know what to do to make Aaron fire you so, always kno
