chapter 6
' Yes, he is correct. I should focus on the training instead of looking around,' Sophia thought as she watched Lucas. He waved back at her and gave her a dimpled smile.
She smiled back at him and waved back also. As he walked away, she sighed. Why are all the guys here so handsome? First, it was Alex, then Justin and now Lucas.
She sighed and ended up walking around the garden few more times before heading back to her room. When she got there, Stella was already waiting for her.
��Sophia! Why were you walking around? You are already hurt and you still have to go for training tomorrow morning, so you shouldn't exert your strength,�� Stella scolded.
But Sophia just smiled and rushed to her. Stella looked at her suspiciously. She asked,��Sophia... Why are you smiling so much?�� Sophia blushed and looked downwards.
��Did you see Alex again?,�� Stella asked as she squinted her eyes at Sophia who shook her head sideways to indicate 'No'.
��Then why are you smiling like this? Don't you know it's creepy,�� Stella told her. She finally said,��I met a boy. He is very handsome.��
Stella sighed and rubbed her face. This Sophia is a lost case. She is always meeting a boy and falling for them. First, it was Alex and now this unknown boy. What will happen when she finally meets Justin?
��What is his name?,�� Stella asked her. ��Lucas,�� Sophia replied quickly. Hmm... Lucas? That sounds familiar. She doesn't know where she has heard that name from.
But she is certain she has heard it before. So she just pats Sophia's back lightly and told her,��Sophia forget about these guys for now. You have to focus on the training and the mission first. You know you have already been made as the team leader. You can't make your team lose.��
Sophia nodded. She sighed and sat on her bed. The pressure is too high. She is starting to rethink whether being a team leader is a good thing or not.
��Doctor, is there any improvement?,�� Mrs Smith asked the man in front of her. His name is Charles. He is the private doctor she hired for Justin since she can not go to the hospital here all because of the type of work that she is doing.
��Well madam... There hasn't been a positive improvement,�� the doctor said with a sigh and Mrs Smith couldn't help but look at her son in pain.
She swore that she would personally make sure that person suffer for trying to hurt him. Why on earth will someone even try to harm him?
Justin has always been a well mannered kid that was why she sent him abroad to go and live wih her sister when she got divorced from his father. She regrets meeting his father if it wasn't for the precious gift she had gotten out of the marriage which is Justin.
��But madam... There has been a slight improvement. No need to fret. He may not wake up soon but I am sure he would wake up. His vital signs are improving,�� the doctor told her and she nodded.
She thanked the doctor and shook hands with him before paying him a hefty sum of money. The doctor thanked her in return and then left.
As soon as the doctor left, she walked to Justin and pat his hair gently. ��Honey... I guess you have to stay in this condition for a while,�� She whispered softly but only the sounds of the vital sign machine responded.
��Huh... Who is it?,�� Sophia mumbled sleepily as someone knocked on the door. ��Come out already Sophia! Mr Kim is already waiting for you!,�� the person shouted and the sleep in Sophia's eyes instantly cleared.
Mr Kim.... That's the name of her trainer. She immediately stood up and got dressed in long sleeve shirt cause she knows that the weather will be very cold since it's still so early in the morning.
She then put a matching pair of long trouser and walked out. Of course, the huge and scary looking man from the previous day was looking at her.
He smiled a little when he saw her unlike the previous day where he was just frowning. ��Good morning,�� she greeted him and he just nodded. Then they proceeded to training.
He gave a short gun for her to try shooting again. Even though she is already skillful in using knives, she still needs to learn how.to use the gun in case of when troublesome circumstances arises.
She tried several times but still couldn't shoot just one of the lifeless statue. Anytime she wants to give up, he will just frown at her and she continued again.
When there was still no improvement hours later, he gave up. Then they proceeded to lifting weights.
She almost fainted when she tried to lift the weights at first. Why is the damn thing so heavy? She was sweating as she tried and tried. The man sighed, his face full of scowls.
He wasn't smiling again like when he first met her. She eventually begun to lift the weights steadily. The first few attempts ended badly but she eventually was able to lift the weights.
After few more excercise, he let her go and she staggered to her room. She couldn't even walk properly cause of the pain she was feeling.
When she opened the door, Stella was already waiting there with a bowl of warm water. ��It hurts,�� She moaned in pain as she collapsed on the bed.
��Sorry,�� Stella told her and she began to wipe her body with the water. ��Why don't you just tell madam that you can't do it?,�� Stella asked.

��Then what do I do Bella? I don't want to lose him,�� Kim said as she stared at Bella expectantly. She couldn't even lose Lucas when she hasn't gotten the chance to get him yet.
She hasn't made him hers. They haven't crossed the friendship zone yet so she can't just sit still and watch another bitch appear from somewhere to steal him from her.
What the heck is it about that Sophia girl that's making people crazy about her? First, it was madam. She still can't understand why madam will just pick the new girl and elect her as team leader.
Why? ��Hey! Did you even hear what I said?,�� Bella asked as she shook Kim, breaking through the chain of thoughts in the latter head.
��Sorry... What did you say?,�� Kim asked with an apologetic look. She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't hear what Bella said.
��I said you can't do anything for now cause it isn't certain that Lucas likes that girl,�� Bella said and Kim gaped at her. What is this fool saying? She just told her that he was staying with that Sophia girl earlier and now she is saying they shouldn't assume anything.
Kim rubbed her face and said,��Forget it. I will take care of her myself. Why are you here?�� She immediately tried to change the subject.
Bella looked at her suspiciously. Anytime Kim says she will take care of something herself, that means she is about to plan something evil.
Bella thought that she shouldn't try anything funny with Sophia. That poor girl hasn't done anything wrong. She's kinda cute. If Lucas likes her, so be it. It isn't as if he was even dating Kim before. They are just friends so he has the right to like whoever he wants to like.
But she is sure Kim won't think this way. She knows her friend is narrow-minded. Anything Kim wants, she goes to extreme length to get it.
Should she warn Sophia in advance then? ��Hmm... Bella, I asked you a question. Why have you come here? I thought you were supposed to leave today for the mission madam assigned to you?,�� Kim asked and Bella smiled.
��Yes... I came to wish you goodbye. Take care of yourself,�� Bella told her with a genuine smile.
Kim replied with a forced smile,��Come back soon.�� Bella hugged and left. When she finally left, the nice smile on Kim's face was wiped off. It was replaced with a cruel smirk.
She appeared to be in deep thoughts. The look on her face stating that whatever she's thinking about... whatever she is planning about is definitely not good.
��Come on! You promised to get me sundae today,�� Sophia pouted as she stared at Stella sadly. Stella collapsed on the bed and groaned.
��Do you want to eat sundae every fucking day?,�� She looked at Sophia and asked. Sophia nodded cutely like a funny little bunny.
��Yes... Don't worry. You won't go bankrupt. You have the card remember?,�� Sophia replied with a twinkle in her eyes.
Stella groaned again. Now she is starting to think that telling Sophia about the membership or vip card wasn't a good idea. They already went to the spa earlier. Then they headed to the mall.
Guess who bought the most things? Sophia of course! She bought lots of cute adorable clothes for free because of the membership card.
Now she wants to get a sundae! Stella almost pulled her hair out of frustration. ��I am exhausted now... Can't we go some other time?,�� She asked and of course Sophia shook her head sideways to indicate 'No'.
��No... No... No... You promised me. Sundae can't wait. Get up. I'll carry you on my back if you can't walk,�� Sophia told her.
Stella burst into laughter and stood up from the bed. That was how they ended in front of the cashier.
Stella's mouth was opened slightly as she stared at all the desserts Sophia was ordering.
She immediately tried to caution her,��Sophia, don't you think you should get foods instead of all these desserts? Cookies..? Sundae... These aren't really good for your health. Please get food instead.��
Sophia shook her head to indicate her usual answer which is a 'No'. ��I'm not hungry. I want to eat desserts,�� She replied. Just before they left the counter, they heard a familiar voice say,��Babe, do you want sundae too?��
Sophia immediately spun around to look at him. Her mouth flew wide open. It's Alex but it's not even his appearance that stunned Sophia, it's the true definition of perfection beside him.
An unfamiliar redhead was standing next to Alex. She is wearing a complete outfit of biker's set. You know black jacket, black crazy jeans and all. She has 'bad-ass' written all over face.
She was just too beautiful to be true. She looked at Alex and smiled at him. Oh my! She's got the dimples too.
��No... I don't want to take any fat or junkie. I want salad meal,�� She said softly, her voice is definition of sugary voice. Even Sophia as a female was mesmerized by her beauty.
Alex nodded and faced the waiter to order their meals. Up till now, he still hasn't notice Sophia. Sophia immediately left with her tray and Stella followed her.
��That's Beatrice,�� Stella said. ��I already know that,�� Sophia answered in a cold voice. She was already crying inwardly but her facial expression didn't display any emotions.
She was thinking that since Alex's girlfriend is already as perfect like this, why would he even look at her?
She sat down and ate her food quietly. Stella was a little bit worried with the way she was quiet unlike earlier. Well, first heartbreak is always hard.
To make it worse, Alex and Beatrice sat down at the table next to theirs. So both Stella and Sophia could hear all their happy conversation.
