When Love Happensย ย ย Chapter Eleven
After breakfast, Sofia quickly went to freshen up. When she was done she brought out a pair of Jean trousers, a blue top, and a jacket, she needed to get dressed before her father changed his mind about going with her to the hospital. She brushed her hair out and stood in front of her dressing mirror deliberating if she should pack it up in a pony or let it fall on her shoulder. She decided to let it fall on her shoulder, she wore her sneakers and picked up her jacket, and headed to the living room. Sofia was surprised to see her still on call with his customer. He signaled to her to come to sit with him as he continued with his conversation on the phone, she sat beside him but paid little or no attention to the phone call.When David Cortez was done with his phone call he suggested to Sofia that they go to the pharmacy instead of going to the hospital as he described the ache in his back to be a very mild one.โBunny, I think we should go to the pharmacyโ.โNo!โ.โAll I need is jus

When they got to the premises of the Glitzy clubhouse, they found it difficult to get a place to park their car as every parking space was already occupied. It was through the help of a security warden who came to their rescue that they got a parking space. As they all alighted from the car, Camilla was already moving her body to the rhythm of the song playing inside the club. Sofia was so amazed at how magnificent the place was that she began to doubt if she would ever get a job there.โOk ladies, letโs go inside to do what we solely came here for and have fun later,โ Noah said interrupting their excitement.โWhy the rush?โ Camilla asked still dancing to the rhythm of the music as she walked towards the entrance of the clubhouse.โWow, this place is very beautiful!โ Sofia exclaimed.โI havenโt seen anywhere as beautiful as thisโ Sofia continued as she looked around in disbelief.โAre you being serious right now?โ Camilla asked.โYes I amโ Sofia replied still looking around.โWell th

โNice to meet you, Georgeโ Noah said as he shook hands with him.โNice to meet you,โ Sofia said smiling.โWhat do you do George?โ Noah asked.โIโm an automobile engineerโ George responded.โOh thatโs nice,โ Noah said.โYou frequent here?โ Noah asked.โWell I do but not alone, I come here with my friends, they probably should be somewhere around hereโ George replied looking around.โWe will be back guys,โ Camilla said as she took George by the arm and left.โNoah, why did you do that?โ Sofia queried.โDo what, what did I do?โ Noah asked.โNoah you know Camilla and how dramatic she can be, asking that young man she was with that kind of question was uncalled forโ Sofia explained.โI see nothing wrong with the questions I asked, I was only trying to start up a conversationโ Noah defended.โNoah itโs fine, I think we should just drink up and head back home, Iโm already tired and I donโt want to keep Pa waiting,โ Sofia said as she emptied her glass of champagne.As they got up to leave, C

The next day was Sophia Cortezโs first day at work, but she didnโt have to leave the house until the evening.David Cortez said he was feeling much better, and he canโt feel his back ache anymore, Sofia persuaded him to stay back in the house and rest more but he declined and insisted on going back to work on the farm.Sofia knew her father to be very strong and hard-working but she just wanted him to relax his muscles, she feared his condition might get worse, and by the time he would be admitted to the hospital it might be too late.Evening came and Sofia got ready to go to work, she needed to go early so she would be introduced to the other employees before the club is open for customers to troop in. After all, Noah once told her โFirst impression mattersโ.She decided to take the bus to work as she didnโt have enough money to order a ride to work. She pondered on how her first day at work would look like, she was already aware that it was going to be hectic but she prayed silent

The three of them checked out with their cards at the gate. They chatted as they walked to the bus stop, the bus was ten minutes late when it arrived, they got in and sat in the same row.โSo how was your first night working here?โ Ella-Rose asked Sofia.โYes I want to know too,โ Lilian said excitedly.โWell it was fun, I mean you both made it fun for me except for the fact that Ava got me upset at some point but like you both said Iโll ignore her, Iโm sure Iโll be fine,โ Sofia said as she smiledElla-Rose and Lilian live together, so they got off before Sofia and she continued her journey back home. When she got home she noticed the lights were off but her father's truck was parked on the driveway. She opened the door quietly and brought out her phone from her purse to switch on her phone light so she doesnโt bump into something. She walked toward her father's room and she could hear him snore, she shook her head and walked away quietly as she giggled.She took a bottle of water and

Gustavo Alvarez was in his house working on some office files when Amelia drove in with her car and parked by the driveway.Gustavo was aware that someone just parked in his driveway, he thought it might just be Santiago or รngel or rather the both of them, but he never knew it was his betrothed Amelia.Amelia walked in and she was not looking happy, Gustavo was surprised to see her at his house, she didnโt call to say she was going to come to visit him at his place, he saw her countenance immediately she walked in but he cared less about her.โYou are here, and Iโve been trying to get through to you and you are ignoring my calls,โ Amelia said this time her eyes were burning with anger. But Gustavo was not moved by that.โAmelia, Iโm working Iโm sure youโre not so blind to see thatโ Gustavo replied without looking up at her as he continued to type on his computer.โHave you heard about the engagement?โ Amelia asked as she took a seat beside him, her eyes focused on him to see his reac

Gustavo got ready to leave for the club with Santiago and รngel at least he just had to try his luck and do whatever Santiago instructed him to do. He prayed in his heart that the plan would work out so that the engagement wouldnโt go on as planned. All he had to do now was to play his cards well.When they got to the Club, they did not check in as everyone else that came to the club, they were VVIP to the club already.Everywhere was buzzing with people of different caliber, and the DJ was playing the music to the highest volume, if you were not the type that goes to a club you would find it unsettling to be there, everyone was happy to be there and of course on the dance floor.Everyone had a partner whom they danced and drank with, men would be seen with two to three women, and even high school girls were not left out in this they made sure they dressed as adults so that they could sneak in without being questioned.Gustavo was already sick of the environment and the noise that the

Sophia wondered why the young man would have insisted on taking her name tag along with her, she knew how crazy people at the club could be especially the men. But this one was the first of the kind, it was normal to ask for her number and give her complimentary cards or tips but this particular one she couldn't seem to wrap her head around it.She stood there for some minutes before she requested her order.โWhere is your name tag?โ Seth asked as he crept up on Sophia from the back.โYou scared me, Seth,โ Sofia said trying to think of a lie to tell Seth.โSorry about that but I asked where your name tag was,โ Seth asked again.โOh, my name tag, yeah it fell off I thinkโ Sophia lied.โFell off? You should be more careful and you know how important it is for the customers, they can easily call you by your nameโ โDonโt worry about it, I think it fell off a few minutes agoโ โTell the cleaners about it, so they can help you keep it well if they come across it while sweepingโ Seth sugge

Gustavo rushed into his office immediately to avoid getting into another conversation that would delay his time.โWhat did you say? Are you sure of it? Did you confirm? Gustavo bombarded Santiago with questions.โYes, Iโm sure, he even gave me their names tooโโOK, so what next right now? Whatโs the next step right now?โโWe will leave it to Max he knows how to go about it, he will take it up from hereโโNo that was not the plan, you said you would handle it, involving a third party in this is risky, and you know itโ.โOk, but I trust Max, come on he is my cousinโ.โDistant Cousin!โ Gustavo reminded him.โYes, I know that, but he swore never to let it out, it's going to work out smoothly no cause for panic amigoโโOk, so who exactly did Max find out about? Family, friends, colleagues? How close are they to Sophia? โJust Friends and colleaguesโ Santiago lied.โYou said we shouldnโt involve her family yetโ โOh true, so how close is she to her friends?โโThey are her best friends, No

โAmelia you need to stop crying, your dad will get better soon, and the engagement will take place, donโt cry over this, pleaseโ, Gustavo pleaded reluctantly as he pretended to be concerned.โGet me pregnant thenโโWhat?โโI said get me pregnant if you love me that much as you claim then let me carry your baby, that way our parents will know we are seriousโ.โNo Amelia I donโt think that is a good idea considering everything going on right now, why donโt we take things slowly, we can come up with a meeting involving our parentsโ.Amelia stood up from the bed where she had been sitting all this while and sat on Gustavoโs lap, putting his hands around her waist as she made her way to kiss him.โNo Amelia you reek of alcoholโ.โNo, I donโt!โ Amelia snapped at him.โKiss me, pleaseโSeeing that Gustavo was not interested in kissing her or having anything intimate with her, she went further to force herself on him, but in the process, she threw up on him ruining his clothes and shoes.โWha

Gustavo drove off to meet with รngel and Santiago after he got off the call with them and he was told they were at รngelโs place.Gustavo didnโt want company so he drove off without a driver, but he made sure he disguised himself very well so that people wouldn't know he was the one he couldn't handle the thought of creating a scene.He got to รngelโs place and the gates opened automatically for him to drive in, one of the chauffeurs came out, and Gustavo handed over the keys to his car to him to park properly as he hurriedly went into the house.Santiago and รngel were playing games when he went in and they barely noticed him as they were occupied with the game they were playing.โGuys!, Iโm here now we need to talkโโAre you both deaf or you canโt see me come in?โ Gustavo asked angrily as he went to the socket to unplug the television.โGustavo!โ they both screamed in unison and in frustration.โWe are here to talk and not to play gamesโโI was just about to trash รngelโ Santiago b

โAnd for the girl, I need her to start work tomorrow, here at my lounge,โ Amelia said.โYes maโam she will be notified,โ the manager said as he closed the door behind him.Sofia went back to the bar with thoughts of what she heard at the lounge still in her head. She had so many questions to ask, but the problem was who will answer those questions.โAre you okay?โ Richie asked.Yeah, Iโm goodโ Sofia said as she looked up at him. Sofia had never really spoken to Richie before and she never knew his name was Richie until an hour ago.โWell you donโt look okay to me, I can get you a drink if you donโt mind,โ Richie said as he reached for a glass.โNo, no Iโm okay,โ Sofia said stopping him.โLet me guess, she doesnโt drink?โ โI knew it, Iโve watched you closely and I noticed you are the only employee here who doesnโt drinkโโYes, I donโt drinkโ โAnd why is that?โ โI donโt like the taste and the feelingโ Sofia requested a bottle of water instead and she drank it all at once, she was w

Sofia went back to her duty post but she was not convinced if she was ready to take up Avaโs position. She never denied the fact that she had always envied Avaโs position, but the situation surrounding her dismissal from work made things look different.A few minutes after the club was officially open for the regular night activities, the VVIP guests started to troop in with their bodyguards following closely behind, most of them came with their girlfriends, and these girls were all in their early twenties, some of them were even teenagers who cared less about their studies or of their parents.Sofia went about her duties and could get invited by the men she served drinks to come to dance with them in their words they told her to โcome have funโ with them. As irritating as it was to Sofia to see men that were old enough to be her father ask her to come keep them company she declined their requests respectfully.Sofia returned to the bar to ask the barman to take her order when she he

Gustavo already knew what the meeting was all about, so he decided he was going to play along.Gustavo walked down the stairs majestically, not minding that his parents and Ameliaโs parents were waiting for him. When he got to the living room they were all seated discussing politics amongst themselves.He first greeted Ameliaโs parents before he greeted his parents, it was a sign of respect to greet your visitors first before greeting their relatives.โGood morning Gustavo,โ Mr. Felix Delgado said as he responded to Gustavoโs greetings.โYou just keep growing taller, taller and taller but I love it as it makes you grow into a handsome manโ, Mrs. Martha Delgado chipped in.Gustavo decided not to be disrespectful to Amelia in front of their parents, so he went where Amelia was seated beside Toria, Gustavo bent over to kiss her on the forehead and whispered some words to her which made her smile and blush.โOh look at that, arenโt they lovely?

She decided to go home alone, she was moody and felt bullied, she concluded that it was because she is from a poor background that was the reason why Gustavo Alvarez made her feel bad.She wondered how he found her at the club and pondered on the reason behind him ceasing her name tag, she found it absurd that of all people โthe Almighty Gustavo Alvarezโ who was always busy had the time to pick on her.Sophia got home tired and hungry, she wished she had enough money to order food for herself and her father. She decided to get home first and run a cold bath before thinking of what to eat.Sophia got home and saw her fatherโs truck parked in the driveway, she checked the time on her watch and found out that she got home earlier than on other days, maybe because she had gone home alone because if she had gone with Ella-Rose and Lilian, they would have taken time undressing and chatting.She turne
