The Missing SOFIA
Bab~21

"You mean ?" Ariel looked directly at the girl sitting next to her.

"Do you love me ?" jessica said to the point and it immediately made Ariel chuckle then scramble the girl's hair.

"I'm serious" said Jessica again, who stopped the man from ruffling her hair.

"Can we talk seriously, I'm 18 years old and I'm not a kid anymore that you can tease as you please." Jessica said, looking at the handsome young man next to her.

Ariel sighed for a moment, then looked at the girl and stretched out her hand to lift her chin until now the faces of the two seemed to meet each other.

"You're so beautiful Jessy and I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there who want you" she said.

"Does that mean you don't want me ?" ask Jessica later.

"Jessy listen to me, we grew up together all this time and the feelings I have for you...." Ariel paused her words immediately as Jessica suddenly interrupted her.

"Just as a sister, right ?" he said then who was immediately nodded by the man.

"Do you still like Helena ?" jessica again.

"That's a long time ago, after all, our relationship is impossible to continue." said Ariel with his shoulder.

"Is it because of Daniel ?" jessica asked curiously, before she heard rumors from Rebeca's college-level sister that if the two friends had ever liked the same girl.

"That's not true, I just doubt if I like it or not" Ariel later said.

"Why hesitate? people say the feeling of love will cause a vibration here ?" timpal Jessica holds her chest.

"If brother's chest shakes when he thinks about it it's love" he added again and it makes Ariel look silent.

"Well, then does your heart also tremble when you think of me ?" he said later, staring at the girl next to him.

Jessica looked back at him and shook her head. "I haven't felt that, maybe my feelings for you all along are a sense of awe but Daddy said those feelings will present themselves when we are together often." he explained later.

"We're almost 18 years old together if you forget." chirped Ariel and it made Jessica laugh.

"But we can't refuse that matchmaking" Jessica said with a grim face.

"Of course we can just want to work together." said Ariel who immediately made the girl look frowning do not understand.

"I mean brother ?" said respond.

"Why not try to find who our true love is? maybe someone out there can shake our hearts. But if it comes to the end not meeting maybe we are destined to be together" said Ariel and immediately nod by the girl.

"All right, deal." Jessica directly extended her hand, for some reason there was a feeling of relief in her heart after speaking heart to heart with the man.

Their marriage since childhood really without realizing it becomes a burden for him, between being a obedient daughter or being a child of opposition in order to find identity.

But now he feels relieved because there is full support from the man, a figure he admired since childhood for always protecting him.

The next day....

"Sofia, hurry up Miss Brigitta is waiting for you in her room" Lucy said as Sofia arrived.

"Is there a problem ?" sofia asked with a curious face.

"Hm, let's hurry." Lucy immediately pulled the girl's hand.

Arriving in the room of the head of the cleanliness section it appears that several employees have also gathered there.

"Open up and read it !!" the woman's order immediately made Sofia open the envelope.

After reading it the girl seemed to widen her eyes. "SP3'S? does that mean I got fired just for a hair ?" the question does not understand, because SP3 should be the last warning and he could be fired immediately.

"It should be like that but somehow the CEO gave you a chance" said Miss Brigitta who suddenly made Sofia look relieved.

"So I wasn't fired ?" said ensure.

"Don't be happy because you'll only get half the salary this month and that's the rule." said Brigitta.

"It's okay Miss Brigitta, I'm grateful to be given the opportunity to work here. I promise to work even more closely." said Sofia who looked very happy.

"Alright then please return to work in their respective areas" Ms Brigitta said afterwards.

Then they all left the room and started working that morning.

"Sofia, I'm sorry I can't stand by you anymore to clean the CEO's room" Lucy said as she approached Sofia, who was preparing her cleaning tools.

"Miss Brigitta is against me" he added.

"That's okay, Lucy. Thank you for helping me out yesterday." Sofia seemed to review her smile looking at her new best friend.

"Be careful Sofia, I don't want anything to happen to you" Lucy pleaded.

"Of course, you don't worry." said Sofia, then they immediately separated into their respective work areas.

"Sofia, wait !!" said a man to stop Sofia's steps.

"Juan, what are you doing here ?" sofia said as she saw Juan walking over to her.

"Why do you agree with your salary cut, Sofia ?" ask Juan later.

"I don't care about Juan, after all, isn't that already stated in the rules that apply ?" sahut Sofia responded.

"But that's not in the company's regulations or employment contract, Sofia. I suspect it's just Miss Brigitta's subterfuge to blackmail you" Juan said in an emotional tone.

"Are you sure that's not a rule the CEO made ?" ask Sofia curious.

"Of course it's not Sofia, I've been working since the company opened." Juan assured.

Sofia seemed to be silent for a moment digesting every word the man said. "I'm fine Juan, if that's the case I'm sure one day it will be exposed so please give me the way because I have to clean the CEO's room right now" he said.

"Of course." said Juan then shifted his body so that the girl could pass.

"Either your heart is made of, Sofia. There are so many injustices that you experience here but you still smile to accept them." Juan muttered as he saw the girl's departure.

Arriving in the room of the CEO Sofia immediately cleaned it, the girl looked surprised when she saw a hair on the table of her boss.

Must have been because of that hair he got SP3 and a pay cut, then he immediately took it and threw it in the trash.

After making sure the room was clean, Sofia seemed to replace the perfume of the room with the scent of vanilla. "May the CEO like the smell, it's very soothing and warm" he murmured.

Then he immediately turned to the toilet, closed the door a little and immediately cleaned the place and without the girl realizing it appeared someone entered the room.

"Audrey, give me the last one year's financial statements during my time abroad !!" ariel's new orders entered her room, but her steps stopped immediately when a strange scent pierced her nose and of course it made Audrey appear to swallow her saliva.

"Sofia, you're in trouble."
