Today is a Sunday which means day-off for Sophia. She already finished all the things she needed to accomplish with her class requirements. Now all she has to do is to find an alternative for her problem with Mrs. Diwa’s “niece”. She still does not know who that woman is, but she is still on the verge of losing her home because of whoever she is.
Her salary from working at the Soul’s Secret is what shoulders her daily expenses; and just by computing how much it would cost for her to have her own private lawyer, she will need to cut down at least three-fourth of what she will have this month. That is almost equivalent to having a single meal every day plus all her transportation fees. She forbids herse
Navier already realized that Sophia is someone who is fun to be with the very first time that they spent the day together. Even though, technically, they started in the most awful way to start a relationship; Sophia just keeps proving to him that somehow their start does not matter because they are already here. They still have a long way to go, but he is already liking where they are heading.He has never done anything for anyone before, and he meant using his hands and little knowledge around the kitchen. Nicole mostly takes the responsibility around the kitchen when she wants to; hence, simply leaving him waiting for whatever she will cook for them from time to time. It is still their housekeepers who cook for them when t
“Did you hear about him?”“Yeah, apparently there is a rumor that he is the son of the school’s president and that’s why he got in even though fourth years do not accept transferees and exchange students.”“I mean, I don’t even care how he got it—he got it, and that is what’s important here.”Sophia cannot help but to listen to her classmates early-morning
Navier is finishing up all the papers he needs to sign for today. He needs to finish early because he has been planning to fetch Sophia for some time now, and today is the perfect timing. According to Sophia’s schedule, her classes will end at three PM. Even if she will have some after-school activities, he would not mind waiting. He wants to make a reservation at a restaurant for their dinner, but he also wants to take Sophia in a place she likes. They can just decide later.Someone suddenly knocks on the door and just when he looks up, it was his sister Nicole.&ld
“Sophia loves reading novels—romance novels—but just like what I said, she is actually dense and almost oblivious with the men around her. It would seem that she is more fixated with the idea of what she reads rather than real men, but, of course, I can’t say that she has not had a real boyfriend ever…”Navier looks at his coffee then to Miss Librarian again, still unsure of what to say. This is the very first real time that she encountered a woman who is as authoritative and as intimidating as his older sister Nicole. Plus, he really feels like he just met Sophia’s older sister and that she does not approve of him in an instant.
Sophia could not help but to laugh at Navier as he told her his encounter with Miss Minchin.He was telling her how he first wanted to surprise her, but then got lost for all the most random reasons. First was that he did not know where her department was. The solutions were so funnily obvious that he did not think of any of them. One, he could have looked into the huge university map available in the parking lot, literally in front of the space where he parked his car. Second, he could have asked anyone or could have called his uncle AKA her department dean. Another reason was that out of all the things he could do, it was to approach anyone who merely mentioned her name; hence, meeting Miss Minchin by accident.
Sophia forgot to tell Navier about her task with guiding and assisting Lindon Williams. It slipped out of her mind and now she is making a mental note to call him about this. She knows that she does not need—and Navier is not requiring her—to tell him everything that she must do at school, but it is her own decision to inform him about this. Lindon is still a man, and Navier is the best example of not being the calmest around other men.After excusing themselves to Cleo, she and Lindon went on their way. She plans to tour him in their department area first, then they can move on to other areas of the whole university. She still cannot move on from the fact that she ran for her life to not be late, but she now rea
Navier has been trying to call Sophia for the tenth time now, but she is still not answering any of his calls. Is she this busy? He already double-checked her schedule and it clearly says that her lunch break should be at this hour. She is not even answering any of his text messages.“What’s with that sigh, baby bro? Is the world ending?”He did not even notice that Nicole, his big sister, is already in his office. “Hey, sis. Aren’t you supposed to go out with Sage today for lunch? Why are you still here?”
“Come on, Sophia! Please, please, please! I promise I will pay your lunch for the next week or two! Please, Sophia, say yes!”Sophia is suddenly on all alert when Cleo literally just offered her that. Free lunch for the next week or two will save her a lot of money. The offer is very tempting but…“Please, Sophia! Make it three weeks!”Just holy guacamole! “O-Okay! Okay! Three weeks,
