THE EXCAPE

chapter 6

Brrrrrrrrrnnnnnggggg!!!!!! Brrrrrrrrrnnnnnngggggg!!!!!!!!!!

The alarm seemed to get even more annoying with each ring. Sophie slowly dragged herself off the sofa into the bathroom.

She stood in front of the mirror for the first ten minutes like someone who was in some sort of trance. She eventually had her bath while mentally going through the clothes she had over at Brad's place.

Most of the time she spent the night over at brad’s place it was because they had just gotten  back from a party or a date or some sort of event.

She found some random clothes in a drawer where Brad kept some of her clothes. Her denim jacket, her denim mini skirt, her ripped jeans-sophie had a thing for denim. A bunch of flashy clothes that weren't really appropriate for work.

Eventually she found a gown. A black mid length gown that showed a little cleaveage. It hugged her body at the right places.

She remembered that she had worn that gown to go to meet Brad's mum,Elyne for the first time. She had felt so uncomfortable because Elyne kept on shooting daggers with her eyes at Sophie.

Brad seemed to sense the tension and spoke about how much he loved Sophie. Elyne later gave up the act and eventually warmed up to Sophie. She had even asked for them to go out just the two of them in Sophie's spare time.

The smell of food brought Sophie back to reality. She put on the dress and applied a little make-up. By the time she git down, Brad looked up and made a sound "whooo weeee, you're supposed to be going to work not trying to  make every man fall for you”brad teased.

“Not funny Brad. It’s the simplest thing I have here." Sophie said as she hit him. "Speaking of which why aren’t you dressed up for work?" Sophie asked with a frown.

"Ohhh yeah,I called in sick" Brad said with a wide grin on his face earining himself an eye roll from Sophie. "I wonder how you still have your job", was all Sophie said.

She quickly gathered her things. " I'd talk to you later, i have to go now"
He gave her a quick kiss before she left to get into the uber he had called for her earlier.

After she had gone  Brad turned around looking at how messy the place was and how much work he had to do and was happy he had called in sick.

As sophie got closer to the office she began to feel a lump in  her throat. She hoped she wouldn’t have to run into any more problems with the devil. She rolled her eyes at the thought of Zack Pierre. 

She got into the building smiling as a response to the numerous amounts of “good morning” she got from her new co workers.

She got to her office. She didn’t have anything to do at that moment so she brought out a note pad she found in the drawer of the table. She began to scribble on it.

Then Zack stormed in and asked her to cancel all his appointments of that day. Sophie was surprised cause she didn’t even have anything planned that day.

"Mr. Pierre, uh sorry but you didn’t really give me any thing to work with” Sophie said. He turned around, sophie couldn’t understand why he would be wearing sunglasess at such an early time and indoors.

"Must be an egotistical people thing" She thought.

“Am I supposed to do everything by myself that’s why youre here isn’t it? Look, I don't have time for this. Just stop yelling so much and make sure no one and I mean no one, comes to disturb me in my office”. With that, he left her office.

Sophie finally understood what the sunglasses were for. He was having a hang over. No wonder he didn’t have a lot to say. In a way she was thankful for that cause she didn’t want anything to drag peoples attention.
