Sophia greeted everyone in the shop, they exchanged pleasantries and they started to clean up.
Later in the day, sophia went to the back to rest, why does it feel like I'm forgetting something, she thought hard but just couldn't pinpoint what it was, eh it will definitely come back, I'll remember it.
Sophia, sophia. Miss cynthia is looking for you, she said you should come quickly.
Sophia was about to eat when she was called, so she dropped it and went inside. You were looking for me miss cynthia.
Yes, what were you doing?
I was about to eat.
Don't worry, just go to madam-k's shop and get these products quickly, my client needs them.
Okay! Sophia didn't think much as just rushed to do it.
Sophia sophia sophia..... She turned and saw Trish running to meet her. Wow you really walk fast, anyway miss cynthia said you should come back.
Why? Sophia gave a confused look
I don't know either, she just said I should call you.
They both walked back to the shop. Yh sophia I forgot to tell you to buy some other stuff, cynthia turned to the client and asked her what she wanted to eat.
The client came with her friend and they were busy with their phones, when she heard the question, she looked up slightly before asking for her friend's opinion, they wasted a lot of time thinking about what to eat, before they finally agreed on something.
Okay I need you to get me :
Fried rice with chicken and salad and mince pie with two strawberry juice, and you have to get from the eatery in matthews street, I only eat food from there.
What! Matthews street but that's very far from here, sophia murmured.
The client raised her brows and stared at sophia, her friend also looked up and scoffed, they both had the 'i don't care' look on their face, then they looked at cynthia.
What's going on here, is she going or not, or do we go by ourselves and you know what that means.
How could cynthia not know what statement means, she quickly reprimanded sophia and asked her to get the stuff fast.
Sophia felt wronged, but she couldn't say it out, she was still new so she didn't want any problem and she wasn't the type to shout or get angry easily.
So she walked down, they didn't even give her money to take a cab, she just quickly put on her head phone and started listening to music it calmed her down a bit.
She was a fast walker so she got there in 30minutes. she entered and was welcomed with a sweet aroma, she could perceive everything perceivable, her stomach grumbled, she had to calm down to maintain her sanity, she turned and saw a long queue. This is torture, she sighed as she joined the queue waiting for her turn.
She stood for 20minutes before it got to her turn, she gave her order and they quickly gave her the stuff, then she walked back, she stopped at madam k's shop to buy the hair products and then went back to the shop.
When she got there, she wasn't smiling, she quickly dropped it off and turned to leave.
Seeing beads of sweat on her temple and the tiredness on her face, they tried to say some funny things, but sophia didn't laugh at all. Then they called her back to give her food.
No thank you, I lost my appetite on the way, pls excuse me.
Silence, no one uttered a word they couldn't even eat the food again.
Cynthia noticed the mood and quickly tried to change it, oh! Don't worry she's just a new comer so she isn't used the environment, blah blah blah....she said a lot to convince them.
Hearing her ramble on, eased their conscience and then she started eating the food.
Cynthia smiled but deep down inside she was really pissed, sophia almost ruined everything for her, what kind of girl is she, she'd have a little chat with her when they leave.
Sophia was tired, so she sat down closed her eyes and tried to rest, she wasn't lieing when she said she lost her appetite, that's how her body worked, if she didn't eat when she was hungry after sometime she'd loose appetite and won't be able to eat for a while, and of course it took a toll on her body.
Her sides were hurting, so she decided to sit still for a while.
Pss..pss..ps.....
Sophia heard the noise and tried to ignore it, but it obviously didn't stop, so she turned and looked at the direction it was coming from.
Josh's mouth was obviously in pain, after whistling for a while, he was about to stop when he saw that sophia opened her eyes and turned her head towards his direction.
He was so happy, but it was cut short when he saw her eyes, he was taken aback, at that moment she really looked scary, he wondered what happened. But it didn't last long she quickly closed her eyes and sighed, after a while she opened them again, this time she didn't look as scary as she was earlier.
Hi, is everything okay?
Sophia wasn't in the mood to answer but she didn't want to be rude, so she gave a stiff smile and replied
I'm fine, everything is okay
Eh... Okay, josh wanted to talk more, but he sensed that there was a little problem, so quickly went back into his shop.
Sophia knew that staying like that was gonna affect her stomach, so she forced herself to eat a little. After a while, she got herself back a little, then she started imagining and thinking about things she could have done to that client, then she suddenly remembered that she had an appointment last week.
She quickly took out her phone and was about to send a text when she saw many msgs that was sent over the weekend, so she quickly sent a text
[ How was your game]
Ted:[^_^]
[I'm sorry I couldn't give you a reply, I've been busy]
Ted: [ don't worry, it was cancelled, it's gonna be this weekend instead, so can you make it this time]
[Em.... Yh I'm free]
Ted: [okay, I'll text you the address, see you then.]

After resting for a while, she played some games before going into the shop, she looked around and thankfully those clients were almost done, she just ignored them and sat by the corner.
The shop was very lively, everyone was busy discussing or arguing about something.
Cynthia's client were very loud, they talked and laughed a lot, they made a lot of videos also, it was quite obvious that they were rich, so sophia didn't find it strange when everyone tried to suck up to them.
Finally the styling was finished and they gathered their things to leave, everyone smiled and complimented them, they even helped to carry their things to the car.
Once they left, she heard a sigh of relief from everyone, thank God they finally left, those ladies are something else. They literally littered everywhere with food.
Sophia! cynthia called, clear this place quickly and wash these combs, don't waste anytime.
She wanted sophia to complain so she could bring up the scenerio that happened earlier.
Sophia scoffed and bent down to clear the place, she could tell that miss cynthia was up to no good, so wouldn't fall for her trap.
Finally it was night, sophia was happy, so she arranged her stuff and rushed home. I'm gonna sleep for hours she mumbled as she walked home.
