Chereads / SOPHIA / Chapter 52 - Encounter 4

Chapter 52 - Encounter 4

Ms alexandria quickly rushed over, she carried sophia into the car, drive to the house quickly, she yelled at the driver. shouldn't we go to the hospital madam? No just go home. She placed Sophia's head on her lap, she caressed her hair, over and over.

Jason entered the elevator and pressed the secret button. Ding! He scanned his pupils and rushed in after checking everything he noticed that nothing was missing, which was very weird he then tried to access the other room.

Access denied!

He knew it would be like this, just as it has always been since he lost his friend he hasn't been able to access this room. He left and went back to the office, zack was already waiting for him.

What's going on jason? Today has been a huge rollercoaster for me.. I mean the both of us. So the girl we've been searching for all this while has been with Ms alexandria, what is she planning?

Jason looked his friend, let's check the CCTV footage first so we can confirm that she's the one.

What! Why should we check the CCTV?

Someone entered that place today.

What! Is that even possible I thought you're the only one who could access that place well unless...

Yes that's what I'm trying to say, so let's check to confirm it.

They sat together to check the footage, they only saw sophia go in and come out some minutes later but she was acting really strange.

Do you think she's okay?

Zack can you move a bit before you ask me questions, they were too close to each other so he could his breath on his neck.

Oh sorry about that! Zack quickly moved away. So what are we gonna do now?

Jason picked his phone and dialed Ms alexandria's private no, it rang but no one picked up, he tried severally but she still didn't answer him. He got up and picked his car keys.

Where are you going?

To the foundation, she owes me an explanation.

Hold on I'll go with you!

They drove to the foundation. Welcome can I help you? The receptionist smiled bashfully as she saw two handsome guys, she couldn't keep her eyes off them.

Yes we'll like to see Ms alexandria!

They receptionist kept smiling at them, they waited for a while but she didn't say a word. Hello, hello...

Bam! Someone slammed the desk, she quickly came to her senses they all turned towards the person that slammed the desk. Chris was walking out when she saw them walk in she moved closer to know why they came, but the receptionist was too captivated that she couldn't do her job correctly.

Sorry madam!

Chris didn't bother with her, she turned to the men and smiled at them, I heard that you're looking for Ms alexandria?

Yes we're from the blue tech company and we want to see her. It's very important.

Oh! Ms alexandria isn't in for now, but she left the details with her secretary you can talk to her I bet she'll...

No thanks it's confidential! jason didn't let her finish. Just let her know that we were here and she should get back to us, as soon as possible.

Okay. Chris stared at their backs as the walked away.

They walked out and got into the car, jason closed his eyes and massaged his temples a lot of things occurred today that just took him off guard.

C'mon I'll drive seeing you in this state i can't take the risk, let's switch seats. They drove back to the company.

Madam your phone has been ringing for a while, and Chris called she said some guys from the blue tech company came to the foundation to look for you. The nerd passed the phone to her.

Ha! I knew jason won't let me be the moment he finds out the truth, I can only imagine the kind of conversation we are going to have, it's going to be very pleasant she chuckled.

...

As the rays of the sun entered the room Sophia finally opened her eyes everything was blur at first, she was so tired that she didn't want to get up from the bed. She looked around and noticed a lot of weird things. Where am I? This is certainly not my room, what happened?

You've been sleeping for days miss, everyone has been seriously worried about you, I'm glad you're alright.

Sophia was a bit startled she didn't know that someone was around, she recognized her, she had seen her in the foundation before she takes care of Ms Alexandria's personal items.

Good day ma! Where am I? What's the time? I mean what day is it? You said I've been sleeping for days.

You're in Ms Alexandria's house oh! It's Friday, you fainted after your interview so she brought you back home.

Okay thanks! She yawned and fell back on the bed, she used the blanket and covered herself more. Some minutes passed before her brain finally registered what she heard.

What! She jumped out of the bed, she jumped out with force and her brain was still a little fuzzy so she fell to the ground.

The lady rushed over and helped her get up, be careful you're still recovering how could just jump out like that, she put her back on the bed. Rest for a while and then go downstairs she'll be waiting for you.

Sophia's mind was cloudy, she remembered the fruits she brought back, they must be bad by now, she searched for her phone but couldn't find it. After ensuring that her mind was clear she got up slowly this time. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a cute pyjamas, it was fluffy with cute animals on it. She scanned the room and it was very big and neatly decorated. After checking things out she made her way downstairs.

Ms alexandria was going through some files when she heard footsteps approaching. You're finally awake! How are you feeling?

Very tired but I'm fine.

Yh you've been asleep for a while and you haven't eaten, have a seat breakfast has already been prepared for you.

She slowly walked down the stairs to the dinning table, the house was so simple and but breath taking.

Your house is lovely.

Oh! She was caught off guard, thanks! She couldn't hide the smile on her face, this house had been so dull but Sophia's presence made it a bit lively.

The lady brought some porridge to the table. Have this first, it's a light meal and that's what you need for now, later you can eat whatever you want.

Okay! Thanks.

It was still hot she blew on it first before tasting it, not bad it had a lot of milk. She didn't feel hungry before but after tasting the porridge it was as though she hadn't eaten for ages. In few minutes she finished everything.

The lady came back to check up on her, wow you finished everything!

Thank you it was delicious she was a bit shy.

Sophia come over! Ms alexandria called.

She tried to clear the table but the lady stopped her. Don't worry leave it I'll take care of it.

Thanks she walked over and sat on the couch, I can't find my phone, did I lose it?

No it's with me, you look so pale are you sure you're feeling better now.

Yes ma! I'm okay.

Good can we talk about what happened that day? You were fine before you left so how come everything changed?

Oh that! Yh everything was okay but then I made a little mistake, I don't know how it happened but I entered a weird room, well it scanned my eyes before I was able to enter. it was full of so many things, but everything was still okay till I got to the second room, I wasn't able to see anything In there cuz my head started aching so bad I had to leave.

You....you... didn't see anything at all in the second room?

Not really i think if I actually went in maybe I would have seen something. she noticed the change in Ms alexandria's behavior. Is there something you're not telling me, something I need to know?

Yes there is I'll tell you later when you're ready. But make sure nobody absolutely no one should know about this okay?

Yes ma

The company called you passed the interview, you'll start next week. School will begin next year, so you'll be there to learn more and work on the upcoming projects we have together. I'll work out your schedule some days you'll be in the foundation some days the company.

Sophia's mouth was wide open making Ms alexandria giggle, calm down you'll have free days. She kept on explaining things to sophia. So what do you think? She looked up and saw that she was sleeping. She dropped the file and got up, she put her head down and her stretched her legs on the couch, then she covered her with a blanket.

Sophia woke up later in the afternoon, she had her lunch there before she went back home. She had to rest for the entire day.

The next morning she jumped out of bed thankfully she wasn't too dizzy she walked downstairs slowly, she went to the kitchen to check her fruits and to her surprise nothing was left.

Omg! What happened to my fruits.

Dave walked into the kitchen to get a plate for the last fruit to be devoured, he smiled at his her. Oh! It's been two weeks sophia how do you expect them to still be here? you should be grateful that you have someone like me around because I helped you to eat them.

Oh is that so? Just wait there let me appreciate you better.

Dave knew she was up to no good so he quickly ran out of the kitchen sophia ran after him, she chased a little then she got tired and was panting heavily. She walked back to her room and just laid on the ground. Her phone started ringing she stood up and picked it up from the bed, it was nanny zo. When she got her phone she saw a lot calls that she missed, especially from timothy she had been too sleepy to return the calls she just texted nanny zo that she'd come over during the weekend.

Hello! Good morning nanny zo. yes! I'll be there, okay lemme get ready.

She took a long hot cooling bath. Dressed in jeans and t-shirt she left the house, the driver was already waiting for her so she walked over she sat behind she closed her eyes as they drove out.

Little tim had already informed her that he moved so she just admired the estate as they drove in. They finally got to the house, the huge gates opened and the car drove in. The driver packed the car and she came down.

Before she could even look around more she fell to ground due to the force someone applied. Little tim cuddled her refusing to let go. I missed you so much aunty sophia, I've been waiting for you. He held her tighter cause she smelt so good, the fragrance was enticing.

Awwn.... I missed you too baby! She ruffled his hair. I stayed so long without seeing your handsome face it was so hard for me too. They stayed like that for a while before little tim stood up so sophia could stand up.

I prepared some fruits for you but I was so busy and I couldn't bring them over and my brother helped me to preserve them in his belly.

You don't have to aunty sophia!

No Don't say that little tim, I really brought so much you would have loved them.

But I'm serious you really don't have to, come with me. He pulled sophia away, nanny zo rushed and took her bag.

Sophia let him pull her to where ever he wanted. She thought he was just playing till they finally stopped, she was so shocked.

Okay we are here! This is why you don't have to bring fruits for me. Sophia was speechless this was the most beautiful garden she had seen. Everything was in it, it was huge and pretty.

Yup I finally get it! They walked inside she kept on admiring the fruits she saw some tomatoes so she went over and checked them out, she saw the mangoes pears and other fruits. Then her eyes caught something so cute she ran towards it. Omg! Strawberries it's so pretty I haven't actually tasted it. While she was busy touching everything she felt a hot breath on her hand, she quickly pulled her hand away. She tried putting it back and she felt something sniff her hand she quickly withdrew her hand and moved back. She turned to check where little tim was and couldn't find him, she looked back and then became very stiff.

..

Jason still had to go to the company during the weekend due much work load but he more stressed because of the foundation. Ms alexandria was still playing games with him, he's been having sleepless night since the incident.

Zack walked in and took the file from him, go home jason! you look horrible. jason rolled his eyes and didn't reply him.

You need to rest jason! Matilda walked in. You guys have been acting weird since the interview what's going on?

Nothing they said in unison.

Don't worry I'll go home, I need a good nap. I'll come with you, matilda quickly spoke. When she realized she sounded weird she giggled I want to see timothy.

Okay, zack please help handle these files, jason passed the files to him as he got up.

Sure no problem! I'll go home when I finish them.

Jason called nanny zo before leaving the office so she could prepare some things before they get there. Matilda joined him as they walked out together.

They drove in and saw nanny zo already waiting for them. They came down from the vehicle and walked over. Nanny zo quickly helped him carry his things.

Where's timothy?

He's in the garden with his teacher.

Teacher? Jason was surprised. He decided to make a little trip over to check things out.

Meanwhile!

Sophia became stiff when she saw a huge fluffy monster. They kept staring at each other, until the monster made its first move. She screamed so hard and made her own move.

Jason heard the scream and rushed into the garden, before he could even register what was happening, he was engulfed by a sweet fragrance, he almost lost his footing as someone pounced on him.
