Chapter 48
Sofia Andrew
When I arrived in the company, Amelia was already waiting for me. When I get closer to her, she looked me up and down.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked with a frown.
"You are an hour late, and you hate being late. You look strange and you walk strangely." She pointed out with his finger under her chin.
"Yes, well, I worked out last night and I think I overdid it. Although I will do it again because I can't get over it."
"Since when do you work out at night? That's not like you, besides, weren't you seeing Angel-ooh!" Her eyes widened and she happily got up from the chair before almost jumping over to me. "What happened to you?"
"I don't want to be happy yet because I did it last time and I was disappointed, but... are you still a virgin?" She asked and I laughed, but remained silent and she whined. "Sofia, don't be like that! Tell me! You are no longer a virgin, right? Ah!" She squealed and I shushed her.
"Lower your voice, Amelia, someone might hear you."
"I am sorry! I'm just so excited! Tell me, is it good? Was he as big as he looks?!" She eagerly asked while shaking me.
"Yes to all, you crazy witch!" I replied and she screamed a little.
"Ahhh! I know he knows how to move!"
"Oh, Amelia, it was wonderful." I exclaimed with a happy and content sigh.
"No! That sounds cute and it doesn't fit! It's either passionate, brutal, juicy, I don't know, anything but wonderful. Cute is boring, so no."
"I mean it's romantic. He took me to his apartment and it was full of roses,, he made me dinner, he made me my favorite drink, my favorite food. The room was magical, we danced, he told me he loved me and he always did, and he told me I was his and he made me his. I swear, I'm in heaven." I rambled with excitement in my voice.
"God, Sofia, I can see it in your face."
"I suppose I must have a stupid and absent-minded face or even lovesick."
"The night must have been long." She said with a giggle.
"Oh, Amelia, that man is... The only thing I can tell you is that the Leffmans have done something good in their lives and that is Angel. That person has everything and he knows how to use everything very well, his hands, his mouth, his body, God, that tongue that is sin." "Wow, girl, too much information."
"Sorry, Amelia, I don't know what happened to me. I swear, I mean, it was like something exploded inside me and I forgot about decency and my moral. I couldn't stop myself from wanting him. He even told me to rest because I will wake up in pain and I don't care." "My friend turned into a total slut in bed, but I can't blame you because with that hottie, I would be as well."
"I saw a side of Angel that I haven't seen before, he made me feel so good, so confident, so happy that I'm afraid that it will all crumble and become a dream."
"Stop thinking like that or you'll attract bad energy. But it's worth it, isn't it?"
I smiled dreamily. "Yes, it is very worth it. I swear, even though I was in pain, I saw him and he gave me... I don't know what, but I threw myself on top of him. At one point, I thought there was something wrong with me and I became a nymphomaniac." "And it would be weird if you wouldn't be. You have waited a long time for this to happen, my friend. So, does Angel have an apartment?"
"Can't you guess where?" I asked and she thought for a second before shaking her head. "Where you have been dying to live."
Amelia's eyes widened. "No way! In the Tom House residential complex?" I nodded my head in confirmation. "What a dream it really was for you, Sofia, you lost your virginity in the best place in the country."
"Don't exaggerate, Amelia, but it's the Penthouse at the last building and has a perfect view, you can see the whole city."
"And he made love to you in front of the whole city?"
"A lot of times."
Amelia grinned but then she snapped her fingers. "Wait, didn't Let-technology put up security for that complex a year ago? We have the names of all the owners, why didn't we see Angel's?"
"I am confused as well because I don't remember seeing his name from the list either.""
"But if we had seen it, we would have told you or was it in someone else's name?"
"I don't know. I will ask Isaac to give me the list to verify later. I told him about Elisa, who didn't spend the night with him but was with me the day of the party, and he believed me or so I think. He told me he doesn't want any lies, but he still won't tell me what he wants with Let-tech."
"I understand that you're skeptical, but why didn't you ask him? Did you tell him that we know Elisa was the cause of the abortion?"
"I told you I wouldn't tell him that until I had evidence."
Amelia sighed and gave me a blank look. "Sofia, you know he is the owner of the Autos-Let, he took you to his apartment, he told you he loved you, he opened up to you and yet you didn't tell him what we found out?"
"Amelia, I tried, but I'm still not sure. You can't blame me because I've been thinking that he hates me for five years, and then, he suddenly tells me that he loves me, that he will always love me and I actually feel like he's not lying to me. His eyes tell it so, but I just can't trust him, I can't."
"Well, you didn't tell him that you were the owner of Let-technology either, but did you tell him that you were investigating Elisa?" I shook my head and he groaned in frustration. "At least tell me that you told him that you are also in love with him since we were in college, and you agreed to marry him because he asked you to marry him while he was drunk?"
I pursed my lips and shook my head. "No."
"Ugh! Sofia, he was honest with you and what did you do? What if he finds out, and his mind thinks of scenarios and you go back to the beginning?"
"No, of course not, but tell me, doesn't it seem strange to you that until a few days ago, Angel asked me for a divorce, he blamed me for the death of his baby, he hated me and now suddenly, he is worried about me and tells me he loves me? I don't know, I can't find myself trusting him.Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Jo bnlb.com. Visit Job n I b-com to read the complete chapters for free. Let's say I open my heart to him and tell him everything I feel for him and in the end, it will turn out that it's all a lie? I will lose everything I worked for."
Amelia sighed. "Sofia, you must change the way you distrust everyone."
"Angel gave me reasons not to trust him and I don't."
"But Elisa has brainwashed him and he's starting to realize it. Didn't it occur to you that maybe if you tell him, the two of you can work together?"
"Amelia,I don't want to talk about it anymore. Tell me, do you have the contract for Patricia's store? I need her to give me information about Elisa and when I have it, I will talk to Angel."
"Yes, I have," She walked over to her bag and handed me a folder. "Here it is for you to read. I have included all the rules as you requested: 60% for her and 40% for us. All it takes is the accountant on your side and on her side, obviously. Also, the annex on whether or not you want them to know that you are their partner."
"I Don't want anyone to know."
"I thought you would say that, so I made the clarification in small print. I also called the bank manager to attend the meeting, and you can pay off the loan once and for all if the business closes."
"And you called him?"I asked. "Did you tell him here in my company?"
"Yes, Sofia, I invited him in the company that no one knows you own," she replied sarcastically. "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course not. We'll meet at the store."
"Now, don't be angry, and thank you for everything, Amelia. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you," I start to gather my things. "Come on, but can you drive? Because I can't."
"This person must have been so hard on you that you could not walk properly."
"Not a comment, Amelia, I'm already ashamed as it is."
"You surely weren't embarrassed last night."
I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Angel was right when he said that you will ask every last detail."
"Look, even he knows me and what did he say when he realized you were a virgin?"
"I thought he was going to say something, but the truth is he wasn't even surprised. I think he heard you when you invaded the apartment."
"Well, at least he realized that you didn't lie to him when you told him you didn't sleep with Kevin."
"If Angel is not the father of that baby, who is it? Maybe Kevin?"
"Or any of the boys at the university, that woman spreads her legs for anyone."
We arrived at Patricia's store and we gathered in her office.
"I thought they wouldn't come or they couldn't prepare the contract so quickly." Patricia said smugly and it made me want to slap her face.
"First off, leave the tone and arrogance that doesn't suit you. Second, when I say something, I will do it and third, here is the contract," I took the contract from Amelia and handed it to her. "Read it and if you agree, you will give me all the information you have before signing."
"How do I know that if I give you all the information, you won't refuse to sign later?"
"I have already told you, I am a business woman and I keep my word, which you probably do not know how to do. In any case, the one who should be more suspicious here is me, because you lie so easily, so I want proof of everything you tell me."
"You will have them, but you must find others. If I lie, you can back out of the contract and you can destroy me."
We waited for her lawyer to come so he could read the contract and approve it, then the people from the bank came.
"Can you leave us for a bit, gentlemen? We can check the rest later." I asked them and they left us in the office.
They left and I crossed my legs. "I will not sign until you give me all the information you have."
She stood up and took a folder from her safe before handing it to me. "Here you go."
"What is this?" I asked and Amelia started to review it.
"What I have, and what you want. Now, you can ask questions."
"Didn't Angel steal Elisa's virginity?" I started.
"No. I think you already know that."
"Why and how did he believe he took her virginity? And don't say you don't know."
"The reason is simple. Elisa, she has all the men at her feet, and she can get whoever she wants, except Angel, and that's because he's totally in love with you. Even though she was in love with Kevin. Let's face it, he was an idiot. She kept him around just for s*x, because he's just another idiot who fell madly in love with her."
"How did she do it? It was easy. Angel is drunk because Elisa made him believe that you and Kevin were in love and that you gave yourself to him that night. Angel saw you enter a room which was obviously a lie because Elisa saw you leave immediately. But before Angel can realize that, she took advantage of him. I saw you sleeping with Angel in that room, and I told Elisa. I thought she wouldn't do anything, but the next morning, she came to the apartment saying that she spent the night with Angel, which is obviously a lie because you're the one with him."
I remained silent and tried to digest what she was telling me.
"She told me that she saw you running out of the house to look for Amelia, but she didn't see Angel, so she went up to the bedroom and when she saw that he was still asleep, she took off his clothes, and undressed herself. She then laid next to him, and you know the rest. Angel woke up, misinterprets everything, and she just played innocent. We already know Angel. He is polite, respectful, so what would someone like him do, knowing that he stole a woman's virginity while he's drunk?"
"That darn witch." Amelia interjected.
"Is Angel the father of her baby?" I forced myself to ask despite the lump in my throat.
"I don't know. Don't give me that look because I really don't know. She told me he was, but I doubted it. Yes, something happened to them once or twice after that night. According to her, she is four months old, but the dates don't match. We had periods almost at the same time, before she told me she was pregnant, she had her periods two months before and according to her, at that time, she was four-month-old pregnant."
"If the baby is not Angel's, then who could be the father?" Amelia wondered.
"I don't know that either. Elisa sleeps with almost everyone who shows interest in her."
"And some of them are teachers, according to this," Amelia cut us off, while reviewing the folder.
"She asked them for favors so they could pass her grade or Kevin's."
"She slept with the teachers so Kevin could pass classes? How stupid she is." I blurted out before shaking my head.
"I have already said that it is impossible to happen. Clifford was too hard on us," Amelia said angrily because that teacher was always a scumbag.
"However, I have a guess who's the father of the child.
"From that idiot Kevin."
"On graduation night, Elisa took some pictures..." I started but Patricia cut me off.
"Some compromising photos of you and Angel, I know. She used them to end your relationship with him and make herself look like the good person and the victim of the story."
"Why did she do this? I mean, I know the reason, but he definitely had help."
"Elisa wants the world. She is a bitch, selfish, a spoiled brat and Angel is the second richest person in this country besides your family, but he wants to get away from everything. Be a simple worker and live a simple person like everyone else, and he'll lose everything in the process. Obviously, by asking her to marry him, Elisa will have to live as a housewife and that was not her golden dream, but there was no way Angel would let her go when he found out she was pregnant."
"And then, she found out that there was a contract, I don't know what it was about, but it could move Angel higher than where he is, and it will open doors for him be bigger than you. So she thought that the only way for them to break up was to have a very good reason, and one of them was betrayal. Don't ask me what the contract was because I don't know, and who helped her. She guarded that information even from me."
"What do you know about losing the baby? According to her story, she miscarried because I showed her the pictures and made fun of her.
"Didn't you talk to the doctor?"
"You know there is something called medical confidentiality and not everyone talks about it."
Patricia rolled her eyes at my sarcasm. "Being a mother wasn't one of her plans either, so she obviously planned everything. She had an abortion a few weeks before." She revealed and anger ate me from the inside. "Why did she blame me for that?"
"Because she needs a reason for Angel to hate you even though you are already married. It surprised me because it was as if he was planning for you two to get married," Amelia and I looked at each other, understanding what she meant. "The idea was that, Angel would think you killed his child and he would hate you for it. So, when she's tired of traveling, and being single, she'll come back for him."
"And now that Angel built his name, status and no one can deny that he's one of the richest people in the world, she came back."
"Is everything in the folder?"
"No. You will find proof that Elisa is not the woman Angel thought she is. There are pictures, he affairs with the other students, with teachers, even with what she has done with Kevin."
"I need more information, Patricia, proof about abortion."
"You can get that from the clinic. The file should be there, a routine procedure was done and the doctor was very strict about that."
"One last thing, I want you to tell everything you told me to Angel."
"That's not in the contract." She protested and I just raised an eyebrow.
"The contract says you will do as I say or what I ask of you. You are going to tell Angel all this because if you don't, you already know what will happen. What are you afraid of? How will Angel react? Don't worry, you are not guilty of anything, except for being her friend." "Alright, Sofia,I'll talk to Angel, but when Elisa finds out, it's over. You should know that it is her word against mine and Angel will blindly believe her."
"He is no longer in love with her so she can't play with his mind like before, now he's mine." I said with confidence.
"But she is still the mother of the child he believed is his. You cannot take that away from her."
"Just tell him everything, don't worry about the others."
I grabbed the folder, and signed without giving it much thought. "Take care of the rest, Amelia."
Amelia nodded at me and I left the store. I hailed a cab to take me to Let-technology. When I arrived, I looked for Isaac.
"Sofia, what's going on? You sent me for me as soon as you arrived."
"Tell me that you found out something about Elisa and the clinic."
"I am working on that, but boss, I'm telling you they have a very good security system."
I tried not to show my frustration. "I need it urgently, if you have to go there and get that information, do it, but it is very important to me."
"Alright, I'll take care of that. I will try to get you that information today."
"Thank you, I know I'm asking a lot of you, but..."
"If it didn't matter, you wouldn't ask me, I know. Have you thought about the Autos-Let? Harry Brown is being persistent."
"Ugh, that is another problem."
"Don't you want to accept it because he is Angel's friend?" Isaac asked in pure curiosity.
"Something like that. By the way, do you remember Tom House's list of owners? Please send it to me."
"They are in the contract operating system, you archived them yourself."
"I did? I can't remember, but okay, I'll look for it later."
"Oh, by the way, we got a call from Australia, they want to meet for the communication platform."
"Sure, tell them we'll meet them," I replied and almost banged my head. "France, Elisa, Angel, Andrew & Leffman, I'm going crazy, and, now Australia."
"Breathe, it's just turbulence."
When Isaac left, I checked the list of the complex and if Angel' is registered, how did I not notice?"Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The morning became afternoon and I felt so tired. I didn't feel good, but at least the pain is gone, now it's just discomfort. My head is about to explode with so much excitement.
I finished making and verifying some Let-technology contracts and went back to Lee Andrew's to organize the new collection. I spent time designing and then I get a machine and start creating with the girls from the workshop. I didn't even realize it was already night when my phone rings and it's from the club.
"Good evening, my dear old man, is my little sister-in-law tormenting you"
"That's right, she's now locked up in the punishment room, but she threatens to sue us, throw us out and call the boss."
"Don't worry, I'll be there," I ended the call and almost grabbed my hair.
Yet another problem. I left the company and went straight to the club's punishment room.
"Good evening, Madame." The guards greeted me.
"Good evening, gentlemen, the guest, how is she behaving?"
"She's threatening us all." The guard answered while scratching his neck.
"Alright, don't worry about the stupid things she says, no one will throw you away as long as I'm here."
When I entered, I could hear Angelica screeching in that annoying high-pitched voice cursing.
"Girl, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? "I asked her when I entered the room."
"Oh, Sofia, you're finally here."
"Hello, I see you're having a hard time,"
"How dare you?!" Angelica's scream directed at me.
"Silence!" I screamed back at her and she was stunned. "Thank you, my sweet old man. I will now take care of her."
They left us alone, and she's looking at me with those sharp eyes that wants to kill me.
"Sit down," I told her and she remained standing with her arms crossed and seething with anger, "I said sit down, don't make me repeat myself."
She probably saw that I wasn't joking and reluctantly sat down with that stubborn face of hers.
"You know what he's going to do..." She started but I held up my hand.
"I didn't tell you to talk," I cut her off, "You better listen to everything I'll say, Angelica."
"I'm sick of your rudeness, your attitude, your sharp and dangerous tongue. You're mad at me? Okay, that's your problem. Why are you mad at me? I don't care either, but I put up with your rudeness, and it has to stop now. The benefits you have thanks to me in this club is over, Angelica. I told her and she was stunned.
"You can not..."
"Yes I can and I have done it, or can you get into the most anticipated party of the year, which the young people in your society hope and dream of? Incorrect? It's embarassing to not be part of the event, right? You'll be labeled as the loser."
"I'm going in."
"Like you can? I banned you from entering and no one is going to revoke that, who are you going to call? Your mother or your father? None of them have the power to fight the owner of this club and me. Angel? Maybe, but let's be honest, with how busy he is, do you think he's going to go and solve this? Solve the problem of his bratty sister?"
"What do you want?"
"There is nothing you have that will interest me." Except your brother, maybe. I continued in my head. "Remember it is the other way around, it is you who needs the Andrew, my marriage and my influence allowed all of you to enjoy this club and other places to this day."
"My brother won't agree."
"Honey, you have a membership, but gold, only one extension is allowed and it's the spouse or child."
Angelica's face turned into an ugly frown and. She cried, she screamed, she kicked, and she threatened everyone.
"I gave you all the privileges you have in society. The nice clubs, the nice restaurants, even your passes to the big fashion events, theaters and parties that you are proud of and with just a snap, I can take everything back."
"Are you..."
"Yes, for that very reason, because since I am everything you say and also your mother, then I do not see the need for you to continue enjoying the benefits from me. You will spend the whole night inventing why you did not go to the most awaited party of the year." "That is not fair!" She yelled while stomping her feet.
"What is unfair? That I married your brother? That I extended my membership to the rest of your family? That you and your mother enjoy events at my expense and are so ungrateful that all I get is rudeness and bad comments? You're right, it is, so tonight, those privileges will end."
I left the room open and turned back to her. "Let's go!"
"I will not go with you." She stubbornly replied.
"Yes, you would, unless you wanted to spend the night in that room until your mother and your father stopped you partying in some club or bar," She looked at me and knew she had no choice. "That's what I thought."
She followed me to the exit where they took my car. I had trouble driving because my legs were shaking, but it wasn't that bad. The brat did not speak to me the whole way and I dropped her off in front of their house.
I left the spoiled girl at home.
They talk about me behind my back more than when we're together.
