Sophia was on her knees and hands scrubbing the kitchen floor with a floor sponge soaked in a bucket of water mixed with detergent. She stopped once in a while to clean the sweat off her face.
She was wearing a pink top and blue faded jeans. They were Janvier's old clothes. Then a yellow apron and matching colored gloves. She stopped for a while and cleaned the sweat off her brow again. She looked at the clock hanging just above the kitchen door. 5:36pm.
She got up dusting her apron with her hands. Back home, the highest chore she ever did was to make a sandwich for her dad. Now she was scrubbing the kitchen floors???!!!
Angel opened the door, only putting her head through,her hand on the door knob. She smirked a satisfied smirk at her which made Sophia burn in rage.
"I'm done" She said between clenched teeth throwing down the sponge.
Angle looked at the floor then back at her face. "Do it again"
"You said that like 30 minutes ago and I've done just that. I'm not doing it again"
"You know you wouldn't be here if you had just listened to me a while ago"
Sophia glared at her as she remembered the way Mrs. Medes had dragged her by her hair and had forced her into the kitchen to scrub the kitchen floor as a punishment for slapping her 'daughter-in-law'. Now she had to accept the fact that she was Angel's personal maid.
"But I'm here now and I'm done so can I leave now" Sophia rolled her eyes.
'I am going to make you suffer so much in this house that you'd become a sore sight for any man .....even Jason' Angel said within her glaring at the drop-dead gorgeous in front of her with so much envy.
"I said scrub the kitchen floors again" Angel said.
Sophia ignored her. Angel chose that moment to walk inside using her dirty feet to step around the floor.
"Hey. Stop that"
But Angel didn't listen. Then she used her leg to knock down the bucket of soapy water.
Sophia was boiling inside but she couldn't say anything.
"Now...Start scrubbing. Selina would be here by 6:00 to prepare dinner. So I want this to be cleaned up before then. Or else...."
Sophia held back her tears. "Or else what" She said , her lips trembling.
Angel just left rolling her eyes.
Sophia sat on the floor. She was exhausted. Tears dropped down her cheeks and slided down her jaw.
