The car driven by Jie arrived at the Mansion courtyard. Again, Sofia muttered ria with perfectly round eyes after seeing the grandeur of the building.
"Well, Master! This is what's the name? House, building or what?"
"Whatever you say, get out now!" tell Joe.
Sofia gets out of the car and follows Joe who walks ahead of her into the Mansion. Joe's long steps, making Sofia overwhelmed when following him.
"Geez, sir! Can't you walk slowly so I don't have trouble following you?" he muttered with half a run.
As they pass through the main hall, they meet Marissa. At that time Marissa wanted to see her mother, there was something she wanted to talk about.
"Miss Marissa" Joe said, bowing respectfully to Marissa.
Sofia approached Joe with her eyes round, looking at Marissa.
"Sir, who is that beautiful woman? Is she a human or a Barbie doll? It's gorgeous!" sofia said half a whisper to Joe.
"What did I just say to you?!" pissed Joe.
Sofia recalled the man's message that she shouldn't talk much. You can only talk important. Sofia closed her lips tightly and apologized to Joe in sign language.
"What's up, Om? And--who is she?" marissa asked as she watched Sofia who was standing before her with her head bowed.
"He's the new waiter here, Miss. His name-" Joe even forgot what the girl's name was. "uh, what's your name? Introduce yourself to Miss Marissa" Joe continued.
Sofia raised her head and smiled at Marissa and Marissa returned the girl's sweet smile.
"My name is Sofia, Miss. I was only 20 years old and my previous job was selling traveling cakes" said Sofia with a face while introducing herself to Marissa.
Marissa smiled again as she raised both eyebrows.
"Well, we're almost the same age, yeah. And that's what?" Marissa pointed to the cake basket that Sofia had been holding since.
"This is my cake basket, Miss."
Marissa took a peek at the contents of Sofia's cake basket and somehow wondered what kind of cake the girl was selling.
"It looks like there's still cake, huh? Can I see the cake?"
With hesitation, Sofia took out the contents of her basket. He took out some colorful steamed sponge cakes wrapped in plastic.
"So I was held by some thugs, Miss. They threw me a basket of cookies and this is the rest of the cake that can still be eaten and I plan to take it home" said Sofia with a sad face staring at the cake.
Marissa approached Sofia and grabbed the girl's shoulder.
"Om Joe, leave him here. I still want to talk to him" Marissa said.
"Good, Miss."
"Come here, Sofia."
Marissa led Sofia to a chair in the main room with her.
"No, Miss. I'd better just sit down, "Sofia refused.
"It's okay, Sofia. This is my command and you must not refuse" Marissa replied.
Inevitably, Sofia was forced to sit on the sofa with Marissa. But he was so ashamed. He felt that he did not deserve to sit with a beautiful and wealthy woman like Marissa.
"Here, where's the cake? Can I have one?" pinta Marissa while extending her hand to Sofia.
"But-the cake has already fallen to the ground, Miss. I'm afraid the cake is dirty" replied Sofia.
"It's okay, it's still wrapped in plastic. You cannot refuse my wishes, anyway. Later my baby will be reeled," said Marissa while chuckling.
"Huh?! I'm sorry, Miss! I completely forgot that you are young pregnant" Sofia said as she took out the contents of her cake basket.
Marissa grabbed a green sponge cake with pandanus flavor variants. He opened the package and began to taste the cake.
"It's your own thing, Sofia?" ask Marissa while enjoying the cake.
"Yes, Miss. How's it feel?"
With a worried face, Sofia looked at Marissa's face and she wanted to know how Marissa thought about her cake.
"Your taste is good, Sofia. And I like it" replied Marissa.
Sofia breathed a sigh of relief while smiling warmly at the beautiful pregnant lady. Sofia was not even staring at Marissa's pretty face.
"Your parents are still there, Sofia?" ask Marissa again.
After spending one green sponge cake, now he grabbed a red cake with strawberry flavor variants.
"Mom's left, Miss. My father left us somewhere. Maybe he's happy with his new family, I don't know. While Mother-Mom is sick and I'm the only hope Mother," said Sofia.
Suddenly Marissa remembered her past. She was also in Sofia's position. When Melinda is sickly and just hope for her and Marcello who live luxury and enjoy it with other women. Although Melinda and Marcello are foster parents, they know what Sofia is feeling right now.
"Patience to you, Sofia. Looks like we can be good friends after this. Because I've also been in your position, exactly."
"Really, Miss?"
"Yes,"
