Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 21

The day was finally over and I retired to my humble home. I pulled my hair into a messy bun after taking my bath and walked over to my sewing table to continue working on Gloria dress. The door opens and Sophia walks in after her outing with Jeff and falls flat on the bed.

"Hey" I said, still measuring

"Hey" she sits up "what you up to?"

"I'm working on Miss Gloria's dress" I tell her

"Oh" she takes off her shoes

"How's Jeffrey" I asked

"Excited, I've never loved Mr Martinez like I love him right now" i chuckled

"But wait, what did you guys talk about, why was he even at the shop?"

I turned to look at her "he heard about the shop and wanted to congratulate me"

"Was that all?"

"Yes Sophia, do you want something else?"

She frowned at me and got of the bed "you're just so mean to me sometimes" she muttered. I stick my tongue out at her and she did the same before walking into the bathroom

~~

It was a few minutes past 11 and Sophia was already asleep and I was already feeling drowsy. I kept the dress aside so I don't end up making a mistake, I got up and walked to my bed before sitting. I picked up my phone and started scrolling through it then came across a video on Instagram

It was Eric Martinez

"Mr Martinez, can you give us any update about the partnership between your company and Lawson industry?" Someone from the press who were all over him asked

"No not right now, the partnership hasn't been finalized yet" he simply states

"Is it true that you and Theresa Romano will be getting back together?" A female asked this time

He looked confused "what? no of  course not"

"Can you shed some light on the reason for your break up?"

He sighs "sorry, please excuse me" and he walked out

I couldn't help but wonder why exactly they broke up, they were LA's celebrity couples

But celebrities are still humans though

I dropped my phone down and laid down on the bed, some memories from today flows my head. I was excited about Jeffrey's new job but I couldn't help but feel scared for him, what if Mrs Martinez found out?

I shook of the thought and I just closed my eyes

"I'd go out with you over and over again if given the chance"

I put my pillow over my head, why do still remember that

Why did he even say that?

I opened my eyes, what am I even doing? We're talking about Eric Martinez here, Martinez! Getting involved would be a mistake.

I turned to my side and finally decided to fall asleep, I need all the sleep I can get

~~

I felt someone shaking me and pulling me from the bed, I whine and turn to my side

"Get your ass up" Sophia said

I turn my head and open my eyes a bit

"What?" My voice still sounded sleepy

"You do know you have a shop to run right? It's 10:35"

Is she serious?

I abruptly got up and checked my phone

"Oh god" I grumble before getting up

"Stop being so lazy" I glared at her before walking to the bathroom.

I finished having my bath and put on a grey sweatshirt and dark blue jeans, I grab my hair brush and loosed the band round my hair before brushing

"Breakfast's ready" Sophia comes in

"I'll be there in a bit" I flip my hair back before applying some oil on it. I got up and look myself in the mirror, sprayed my perfume before picking up my purse, phone and shoes then I head out the door.

"Are you coming with me?" I asked Sophia while I took a sit and a slice of bread

"No I have to go grocery shopping first because we're running out of food supplies, I'll come after that" she sat beside me

"Are you meeting up with Jeffrey today?" I sipped from my tea cup

"Hmmm yeah, he'll be starting work tomorrow anyways" she shrugged

I checked the time again and it was 10:45

I gulped down my tea and drank a bit of water "I'll see you later" I grabbed my phone and rushed towards the door and bumped into Mr Martinez on my way out

"Oh hey good morning" he smiled at me

I blink for a while "Mr Martinez, what are you doing here"

"Sorry about being here unannounced but I need to see Jeffrey and I don't know where he lives, I was hoping you could give me his number" he explained

"Oh" I scrolled through my contact list and tapped on Jeffrey's number "here it is" I handed him the phone and he began typing

I couldn't help but stare a bit, he was wearing a grey suit and pants with a white inner and a black tie. His hair was neatly styled to perfection and his Cologne was so intoxicating

In a good way

He looked up at me and I didn't realize how much his suit complimented his eyes, he handed me my phone and I broke eye contact

"I was on my way to my shop, please excuse me" I walked past him

"I could drop you off" he suggested

"No it's fine" I said without turning around

"Are you sure?" He walked up to me

I turned to my side where he stood

"I'm fine really" I stopped a taxi "have a nice day"
