Bab 47: Heart to Heart (9)

Sofia made her way through the silent house towards the main staircase. On the way she made two detours, first to the kitchen to drop off her cup of juice and then to the library for the book in her hand. She had been trying to read it but was not able to so she decided to keep it back in its place and she could borrow it some other time when she was in the mood.

Every step on the stairs, Sofia grew nervous. At one point in time she almost decided to not go and talk to Mr. King, but then she would remember his silence during lunch and that was not something she wanted a repeat of. It was the most nerve breaking lunch she had participated in.

In no time at all she was standing in front of a dark brown wooden door that separated her from Mr. King. 'On the other side of this door is Mr. King. I just need to knock on the door, enter, and apologize for being late. That is all. You can do it.' Sofia was trying to convince herself.

Not knowing how, her hand moved on its own and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock."

"Come in." Vincent voice came from inside.

Opening the door slowly, Sofia entered the room step by nerve wrecking step. Walking right up to his desk, Sofia saw Vincent behind the desk reading from a folder. Not wanting to disturb him, she quietly stood in her spot and looked to the floor while she waited.

Noticing Sofia's silence, Vincent looked up in question. "Did you need anything Miss. McAne?"

Getting startled by the sudden question, Sofia jerked before she looked up at the place the voice came from. It took her a while to register what had been said, and when it did she finally spoke.

"I wanted to apologize for being late to Lunch today and wanted to inform you that it would not happen again." Having said what she wanted, Sofia quickly bolted to the door.

"Sofia!" Right as she was about to turn the doorknob, Vincent called out to her. The call left her emobalized. It was an unconscious reaction from her side, just by calling her name Vincent was able to stop her in her tracks.

"Come back here."

Not having a choice, Sofia turned around and walked back to Vincent's direction at a snail's pace. Standing in front of Vincent after her bolting incident just seconds ago, Sofia felt like she was standing in the principal's office.

"Now then, Tell me what this was all about?" looking straight at her Vincent asked in a dark tone. Sofia looked at him for a second before looking at the floor again, not answering him.

"Am that bad of a person that you won't even wait for me to answer you for your apology? Do you think I would scream and shout at you?" He looked at her, waiting for her to deny those allegations. But see as she refused to say anything, he could only let go of the topic.

Sighing out loud, Vincent spoke again. "Take a seat Miss. McAne. We need to talk about a few things." Sofia quietly sat on a leather seat in front of the table. "You have been working for a week now. It is time to choose."

"Choose? Choose what?" Sofia finally looked at Vincent, but in confusion. What did she need to choose from. The more confused she became the more her head tilted to the left. At one point her head was almost parallel to her shoulder.

At this serious moment, Vincent was looking at Sofia in amusement. She was proving to be amusing with her unconscious body movements. The tilting of the head when trying to understand something and her doe like eyes widening when in confusion.

Having looked at her long enough to not be considered 'inappropriate', Vincent continued. " You have started working, but you have not signed a work contract and neither have we talked about your salary."

Hearing him talk Sofia was growing more confused. Had she not done this all before? No she did not. How could she forget such an important thing? She had accepted this job so she could earn money and at the same time stay near her baby brother. So how could she forget to ask about her salary?

"Now that you have completed a week of Work, I want to ask you if you want to sign the contract and continue doing this job. Or you could walk away and we can forget this happened at all."

This was a hard decision, which Sofia took very easily. "I'll sign the contract." Looking at Vincent in the eyes, she continued not wanting him to think her decision was taken half-heartedly. "I want to continue taking care of Johnathan."

Silently Vincent took out a black file from the top drawer of his desk and slid it towards Sofia across the table surface. "This is the contract. It has all the information so read it carefully and then sign it."

Sofia opened the folder and on the first page, in bold letters was written, 'Contract of Employment'. Knowing that it was the correct documents, she read ahead.

Having read the contract once, Sofia could not believe her eyes. Looking from the paper in her hands to Vincent sitting across her, her eyes grew bigger in size. Moving her eyes from the paper to Vincent a couple of times in disbelief, she slowly voiced out her concerns.
