Sophia didn't bother with them. Since there was no client for now, She took her doll to practice how to weave, she was having some problems doing that.
Well not the normal weaving at least. some clients bring some hair extensions and weavons so their hair has to be weaved.
She didn't know when to pause at the end of each weaving to join the hairs together. She watched trisha and the others do it perfectly.
They let her off before because she was new but now she had stayed for a while everyone thought she was not serious at all.
Especially nora who would always call her lazy. She looked up and saw a figure coming towards her, well speak of the devil.
Wow sophia for the first time you're actually practicing. that's good! Well normally you'd always be pressing your phone, either you're chatting or watching cartoons.
Everytime you're chatting you'll be smiling, who are you always chatting with huh? You said you don't have a boyfriend right so who are you always chatting with.
Sophia smiled and didn't reply. When nora saw that she won't say anything she left her alone. Well at least for now.

Tim got home, nanny zo helped him prepare the bathtub, she put a lot of shower gel which made it very foamy, it smelled so nice that's why tim liked it a lot.
He entered the bathroom and stood still and put on a poker face. nanny zo noticed this. What's wrong timothy?
Is the shower gel not enough? do I need to add more? Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?
No I'm perfectly fine. well I'm old enough to take a bath by myself, you don't have to watch me bath. I'll be fine by myself.
Nanny zo looked at the little determined face before her and couldn't help but laugh.
Okay timothy I'll be outside, if you need anything just call me okay. As she passed him, she couldn't help but pinch his chin. My boy is becoming a man right before my eyes.
She looked at the neatly tied towel on his waist and laughed. Okay go ahead.
Tim removed his towel and entered i the bathtub, the smell of the shower gel filled the room, he played with the foam for a while.
Then he laid back and shut his eyes, thinking about the events of the day. As he thought of sophia he couldn't help but smile when he remembered how she ran into the bookstore and jumped.
He was so surprised. when he saw her tilt her head, she looked so cute. He was glad he met such a funny character, she was different. Everything about her was real, he wanted to know her more.
Then he thought of something, he moved to the side and looked at the mirror, he really looked good. His wet hair and gorgeous eyes made him look alluring.
As he looked at mirror, he smiled I'm glad I'm handsome. He nodded remembering how sophia commented on his handsomeness and it made him so happy.
He quickly took his bath and came out of the bathroom, nanny zo already prepared clothes for him.
He dried his body and put on his clothes. Nanny zo came in and saw that his hair was still wet.
Aren't you gonna dry your hair timothy? Sit lemme help you. Wait a minute nanny zo I wanna do something.
Nanny zo didn't know what he was up to but, so she stood by his side watching his every move. But he signaled her to move out a bit.
He took out his phone and quickly took a picture, he turned changed his hairstyle a bit and took another picture.
Nanny zo was shocked, timothy what are you doing? Timothy walked to her, nanny zo what do you think of this picture? Is it okay?
Timothy this is the first time you've taken the initiative to take pictures. Is there a special occasion?
He studied how for a while. Are you with me nanny zo? Will you respect my decision, don't worry I won't cause any trouble. But will you support me?
Nanny zo stared at the handsome face before her, no one knows him more than she does. She thought about it for a while and then nodded.
Pheeew..... I'm glad then. I gonna use the pictures for something later so don't worry about it.
He opened his contact and clicked on a new saved number, typing some things. After some time an account appeared.
He scrolled through the girl's profile and couldn't help but smile, he saved almost all the pics he could see.
Nanny zo I want to send sophia a friend request do you think she'll accept it?.
Well I don't know about that, she may not, because you know, she's older than you so adding you may just be a bit weird for her.
Oh really! He lowered his head looking dejected. Nanny zo panicked.
But I don't think she's like that, she looked like she liked you a lot, why don't you give a try first before concluding huh?.
Okay I'll give it a shot, he quickly sent a friend request over.

In the evening, sophia arranged everything she was on duty this week so she had to throw the trash away, spread the towels around for the next day.
By the time she was done it was almost 8pm. Omg I'm late she hurried to get back home.
Alex kate and Trish looked at her anxious face. Sophia the only thing that shows you're matured is your age. Let me ask you have you ever stayed out late? Do you even know what the street is like in the night?
Sophia thought about it, nop I haven't, but I've seen what it's like before. Well I'm an indoor person, I prefer being at home than being outside.
Oh it's okay, see you then. They locked the shop and parted ways.
The three of them went in the same direction. When I saw sophia for the first time I knew she'd be like this. How? Trish and Alex asked kate.
I knew she was an indoor person, she doesn't know what the world is like yet.
That's why she finds it hard to cope in the shop, she doesn't know how to associate with people that's why she likes being alone.
She's always with her parents most especially her mum, she literally talks about her everyday. And you know looking at her closely I'm pretty sure she doesn't have much friends.
Yes it's true I've noticed it too, they both agreed.
Sophia was their main topic that night, they gisted till got to the junction, then they parted ways and went to their various homes.
Meanwhile....
Sophia was still on her way home, when she got a notification from her email, she opened it.
Congratulations you have successfully completed this short course. Click the arrow below to download your certificate.
Yeah..... She jumped around, she was so happy. She had a goal to be better in life, so she normally surf the web and check new things to learn and do.
She quickly clicked the arrow to download the certificate. Osu... She calculated when the exam results will be out and other things she had to do.
You can do it sophia, yes you can! She encouraged herself as she walked home.
She was finally home, she greeted her mum and her dad who happened to be home early today.
She walked to her room cleaned up and sat cross-legged on the bed. it was her favorite sitting position. Her mum tried to follow her once and ended up falling down.
She stared at her certificate and grinned hard. Then she got a notification from her social media account.
You have a new friend request from "gorgeous prince". What kind of name is this? Sophia scoffed.
She had received a lot of friend request from guys with weird names, when she checked their profile it was like their names.
Sophia had a criteria for accepting friend request, well except from people she knew and have met. She accepted them even if they didn't meet her standard.
The first thing she judges is the profile pic, especially if it's a guy, she had.a thing for handsome faces.
Second the post; whether they're relevant or nonsense and dirty.
Three the way they take pictures, some people just didn't know how to take selfies they'd hold the phones so close to their face or sometimes they'll keep it down and take the selfie showing part of their face.
From the way people take pictures she could tell whether they were local or not. But she didn't always judge with this because a lot of people were just bad at taking pics and it had nothing to do with their personality.
She clicked on the profile; 0 posts, 1 following which was her. Nothing else it looked like a newly formed account.
Hmph.... It may be one of those hackers or perverts there's no way I'm accepting that, absolutely not.

Little tim was anxious the whole day, he checked his phone throughout. Sophia didn't accept his request. He couldn't help but remember what nanny zo said; maybe she saw him as a kid and wouldn't want to associate with him.
He felt dejected. Nanny zo walked in, timothy your friend is here.
He dashed down thinking it was someone else, he had been thinking about all day.
Nanny zo was stunned when did he become so glad to meet that guy that he's even running.
Little tim rushed down, when he saw the face before him he sighed. So it's just you. Why Is it you huh?
Charles was actually happy that tim was so excited to see him but now he understood that was only a fantasy.
Ah... He held his chest; tim you're breaking my heart. How can you do that to your best bud.
Tim scoffed and sat beside him, he looked sad.
Why do you look so downcast, best bud?
Charles stared at him for a while, Ha! i know what the problem is. it's a woman right. You're have a woman problem.
Tim glanced at him and didn't reply obviously saying it was true.
I knew it! I can never be wrong in this aspect.
But you're wrong in your study aspect. Tim was said with a smug look on his face.
Timothy how can you talk to me like this. I'm going, solve your problem yourself.
Calm down! tim pulled him back, are you sure you're a man. How can your heart be so soft. Calm down okay.
Hmph.... Charles scoffed, okay so spill the beans; which lady was able to move our dear timothy's stony heart.
Tim didn't talk, he just threw his phone towards him; I sent her a friend request but she hasn't replied she should be off work by now.
Charles took the phone and scrolled through his pictures, Sophia's picture was much, she had a lot of fun pictures. What caught his attention was the shirt she wore in a picture.
It was a picture of the anime "my hero academia" omg is she an anime fan? I haven't seen any girl her age watch anime.
My sister's even make fun of me for watching such things. She's one in a million bro.
I know that tim scoffed. But she didn't accept my request, I don't think she wants to be my friend since I'm younger than her.
Omg tim you finally have a social media account, how many years have I begged you to do so, but you did so all because of a woman.
Tsk....tsk... How could you do this to me. Charles shed invincible years.
You've been begging me for years! How old are you exactly? You're not even supposed to be on social media you're still a kid.
Charles didn't bother to reply, this guys mouth was just too sharp. He quickly opened his account.
What kind of account is this? It's looks that its owned by a fraudster, no picture, no posts.
Charles sighed and pinched the space between his brows. No wonder she didn't accept it, I won't accept it also.
Really? Tim said anxiously.
Yes of course why didn't you put a picture?
You know I can't post my pictures online. Tim looked sad as he spoke.
Don't worry about that's why I'm here. He quickly cancelled the request.
What did you do that for? Tim yelled as he was about to smack his friend.
Calm down little buddy. Charles scrolled through and found the pic tim took with his wet hair.
He made the account private and then posted the pic. He also secretly added his buddy.
Okay it's done I sent the friend request again, let's just wait and see if she takes the bait, if she doesn't accept even after seeing your face just know... Well I don't have to say it.
Oh after a while I'll remove the picture so don't worry. They both sat there staring at the phone waiting.
