It’s seems you are nervous. Listen, you have to be smart if you want that job” Olivia says.“ I have never do this job before or even go for an interview for it” Sophia says.“ I know but trust me, you will be fine. We will go apply for the job first and if the boss said that, you should submit your application then, there is a hope” Olivia says.“ But are sure that they employ me?” Sophia ask.“ Don’t be negative, you should be positive” Olivia says and they both entered the club, it was noisy, people dancing, strippers in the poll doing their jobs, Billionaires celebrating, some having meeting, some have fun, the waiter and waitresses serving drinks, Olivia took Sophia to the personal assistant of the owner of the club.“ Good evening” Olivia says.“ How may I help you?” The personal assistant ask.“ I am here ti see your boss, my friend here wants to apply for the waitress job” Olivia says and the personal assistant stare at Sophia from head to toe.“ Is sue the one applying for the job?” The personal assistant ask.“ Yes, I am” Sophia replies, the personal assistant stare at her because Sophia was wearing low qualities dress and outdated outfit.“ I am not sure, she is not qualified for the job” the person assistant says and Olivia became upset.“ What do you mean, she is not qualified for the job?

Chapter 4: Recovered Leonid stare at her and Sophia was looking away, he stood up from the bed, and he was just wearing boxers, and he walked closer to Sophia.“ Why didn’t you tell me, you were virgin?” He ask and Sophia stare at him.“ I am sorry sir. Can I have my money now?” She ask and Leonid stare at her.“ Are you all about the money? Don’t you respect your dignity?”He ask and tears fell off from Sophia eyes.“ I thought you are a…” he says and Sophia cut him short.“ That I was a sex worker right?” She says in anger while she still have tears in her eyes. “ You said if I was about the money. Off course, I was all about the money. What do you expect from me? When I have a sick sister that I was supposed to take care of, she is dying in the hospital and I can’t afford to lose her. You are talking about dignity anhh? I do respect my dignity but at this point and I am frustrated and I don’t know what to do, I am confuse when the rich people have refuse to employ we the poor so t
Chapter 5:Mix up when Leonid met with Selena Selena walked closer to Sophia on their small bed and she cleans her tears.“ You can tell me! What the matter is? Tell me how you got the money?” Selena ask and their mother stood in beside the door and she was listen to her daughters.“ Listen! I promise, I will not tell mum, remember you don’t always lie to me “ Selena says.“ I hope you will not tell mum but I trust you since you promise then you will fulfill it” Sophia says and she stare at Selena.“ That day that Olivia took me to the night club, they refuse to employ so I waited so that I can speak to the boss my self but a billionaire showed up and he said he wanted to have a night with me and he offered me money so I had to accepted, I was desperate when the doctor said that you have to just little time so I accepted and the next morning he offered me $10,000 and that was how I was able to pay your hospital bills” Sophia says and Selena gets emotional and she hugs Sophia and their
Flashed back in school I couldn’t decide what to wear. At first I thought casual, like jeans and a button-down; then I thought no, in case his parents are there I should wear a dress, something somber like my gray scoop neck with the skinny belt. Then that looked too much like a funeral outfit, so I tried a marigold silk shirtdress, but that looked too spring, too cheerful.The elevator doors ding open and I step out into the hallway. It’s early Monday morning, an hour before school starts. I’m carrying a wicker basket of freshly baked chocolate chunk cookies and a get-well card covered in pink- and red-lipsticked lips. I’m wearing a navy turtleneck sweater and a camel-colored miniskirt, cream tights, brown suede ankle booties with a high heel. I curled my hair and did it halfway up, halfway down.Fingers crossed I don’t look as guilty as I feel.At least it wasn’t as bad as it could have been—that’s what I keep telling myself. It certainly looked bad that night. It looked horrible.
Finally Aunt Bette springs into action. I hear her struggle with my door on her side for a second, and then it swings open fast.“Thank goodness,” I say, relieved. I’m about to step into the hallway when I spot some stuff on the floor. It looks like white sand, or a chalk of some kind. To the left I can see it was laid in a thin, perfect line, but directly in front of my door it’s been totally messed up by Aunt Bette’s footprints.What in the world?I think about stooping over and touching it, but I’m a little spooked.Aunt Bette has always been into weird things, like smudgings and crystals and channeling different energies. She used to always bring back trinkets and lucky charms whenever she went overseas. I know that stuff is all harmless, but I point down at the chalk and say, “What is that stuff?”Aunt Bette looks up guiltily. “It’s nothing. I—I’ll clean it up.”I nod, like Okay, sure, while stepping past her. “I’ll see you in a few hours.”“Wait,” she says urgently. “Where are y
Selena lets out a howl of victory and does a spin, whipping the flannel around over her head like a lasso. “This is a teachable moment, Dan. When I want something, I take it. Boom. End of story.” Dan’s face turns bright pink. I bust up laughing because she’s so crazy.Selena must hear me, because immediately she looks over to where I’m standing. She nudges her chin my way the slightest bit. I smile back, quick, and am about to climb on my bike and ride away, when Selena does something surprising.She holds up a finger, like I should wait up for her.It happens so fast I wonder if maybe I imagined it. We haven’t really ever done this before. Acknowledge each other in public, out in the open. I guess we can now, since our whole revenge plan is over. But I take out the book I need to read for English class and flip through it, so I don’t look obvious. I watch as she grinds out her cigarette.“Come on, Selena. Give it back.”Selena puts it on over her sweatshirt. “But I want to wear it. I
So Kim did steal from Paul? I guess Frank can see the shock on my face, because he shakes his head, like I’ve got the wrong idea. “Think of it more as an inevitable lawsuit settlement.”“But it’s not like this place makes that much money. What could it have been? Maybe a thousand dollars, max? That’s not going to get her far. It’s not like that’s buying her a mansion or something. She hasn’t talked to her parents in years. She could be . . . homeless.”“She’ll be okay,” Frank says again, but this time he’s less sure.The tears come right then. I can’t stop, and Frank looks uncomfortable as shit. Wiping my nose with my sleeve, I say, “If she calls, will you tell her I came looking for her?”Frank nods, but it’s the kind of nod where we both know that won’t ever happen. Kim’s gone for good.I’m crying my eyes out as Frank leads me out of a side door and into the alleyway. He tells me good-bye and then shuts the door in my face. I try to call Kim’s cell, but the number’s disconnected. Of
He’d do the same thing for me,” Rennie says, and I can’t believe she can keep a straight face saying it. As if Leonid would lift a finger for anybody but himself! “Oh, and speaking of that, I’m not going to be at practice for the rest of this week. Leonid got a few appointments off island to see a sports-medicine specialist.” She smiles to herself, pleased. “He’s getting his hard cast off tomorrow, right on schedule.”My head snaps up. “Why do you have to miss practice for that?”Rennie ignores me and says, “Ash, can you be in charge?”Ashlin casts an uneasy look my way. “Sure. Lil and I can do it together—right, Lil?”Incredulously I ask, “Are you quitting the squad or something?”“No, I’m not quitting the squad,” Rennie snaps. “That’s not what I said.”“Well, you have missed, like, three practices already,” I say, and my voice shakes a little as I say it, because I’m scared. I’m actually calling her out on her BS for once.Rennie’s cheeks heat up. “When I signed on to rep Leonid’s n
