Fire On Fire

Chapter 5 - Red Flags

A/N : Antonella👆

I wake up to find Sofia in my room, on my bed, with breakfast on a tray.

I pull the duvet over my head.

"Whatever you want, it's a no" i say.

"Can't i show some love, to my only sister, my beloved wonderful, kind and smart sister" she murmurs softly.

I remove the bed cover off my head, and give her a hard pointed look.

She smiles guiltily.

"That looks really good" i say, eying the food, as my stomach rumbles in agreement.

"From me to you, with all my love" she grins.

I start to eat and look up at her.

"Ok, spit it out" i say, wanting to know the price i have to pay, for this heavenly breakfast.

"Ok, so last night, i just got offered an internship at my the company of my dreams." say says, excitedly.

"Oh my God, at B.C.I?" i ask.

I know the name, because she has only ever talked about that company like million times.

"Yes" she nods.

"Well, that's great, so what's the problem" i ask confused.

I know she is not worried about the fact that it's not her father's company, because he has long already made peace with the fact that she doesn't not want to work for him at the moment.

"The internship is only available right now, but i still have a couple of months left before the semester ends" she says.

"Oh" i murmur.

"Soooooo, i was hoping that maybe, you can help me out" she continues.

"Sof....."

" Now i know you said you are no looking for any work right now, but please, I beg of you Ella, please....i promise i will owe you forever. I will do anything you want for a month, anything" She offers.

"Two months? you want me to spend two months of my life doing at job i don't want" i ask.

"Look at it this way, it will get Mom and Dad off your back about working for Dad's company, plus You won't be so bored any more, and you get to make some money of your own, so you are always talking about that. C'mon..please, i will do anything" she pleads.

"How is that even supposed to work, i can't really just go and work on your behalf?" i say, trying to put up a fight.

"No, you will go as you, and then you can resign in a coupe of months, and i will sort of apply, and they will hire me....C'mon, if someone else gets it, that will be it, and i may never get this chance again" she begs.

"Let me think about it"

"Actually, you are supposed to report for screening and interviews today, at 10am" she says faintly, raising the duvet to partly cover her face.

"Sof!!" i shout, just as Mom comes into the room.

"What is going on here? ohhh, breakfast in bed, what are you up to?" Mom utters, looking at Sofia suspiciously.

She explains her predicament to her.

"Honey, you are not going to work for Sebastian?" she asks sadly.

"See?" Sofia says, stressing her earlier point.

"Plus it's only for two months" she adds, pouting.

"Look, i will go and check out the place, if i like it, then maybe, just maybe, I will consider it...if not, you will just have to wait for your dream to come another time" i say.
