Promise 2

Sophia nodded in response. And they talked about the burglary incident and what she could do to prevent it next time, and he also advised her to sleep in her friend's place so that she could rest and rearrange her house.

Sophia agreed with that and said she wanted to prepare for the shop on time because she had some clothes to sew and give to the owner that day. Wilson said he could help her to the shop if it doesn't take too long, and he also has an appointment in his office.

Sophia quickly rushed to her room to freshen up. After some minutes, she was fully dressed. Wilson was surprised at how she managed to dress up within a minute. He could not but commend how gorgeous the house she is looking for is.

On their way to Sophia's shop, Wilson told her to appreciate her for the gift he gave her the previous day. Wilson told her to put on one of them on their next date. Sophia smiled and nodded in response. She remembered she hadn't seen her friend since the thieving incident, so she put a call through to her. They talked for a while, and he sent her regards to her friend.

As Sophia got out of Wilson's car to go to her shop, Wilson zoomed off, and Sophia entered her shop. Almost immediately, a lady came out of the car angrily and bumped into her shop.

"Good day. How may I help you? We sew both native and English attire, "Sophia said with a smile, but was a bit scared by the way the lady was looking at her.

"Keep your greetings to yourself, and I don't sew in a local shop or for a local girl like you," she fired, looking around the shop disgustedly.

"Sorry, if I have said the wrong thing," Sophia said calmly.

"See, initially I came to fight you, but because of your innocent look, I will just advise you and leave, but you may not be lucky next time," she said angrily.

Sophia just opened her mouth and she could not close it. Nothing came out, but immediately she remembered what Wilson told him earlier and the promise she made. She was scared. The lady cleared her throat. This jotted Sophia out of her thoughts.

"As I said earlier, I will advise you now, but it may not be like that next time," she said again.

"The person that just dropped you off, I have seen you and him together on three occasions, but I was surprised that you are just a local tailor. I will advise you to stay away from him. He can't marry you. He will just use and dump you. You are not even his type, "she said as she looked at her from head to toe.

If you are wise enough, follow my advice. If not, wait and see. "She said.

Thanks for your advice, but who are you? At least I should know the name of someone that cares so much for me, "she said calmly, but in a mocking manner.

"Save your friendship for yourself," she said and left.

Sophia did not know where the boldness came from; she just laughed loudly, very loudly. This made the lady mad. She thought that her threat could work, but now it was not.

"I don't know if some ladies are still doing this," Sophia said and began to sweep her shop.

The lady was quite embarrassed and walked gently to her car.

Sophia thought immediately that the strange lady would be one of Wilson's ex-girlfriends.

She began to sew her clothes and started singing. She did not let what the lady said get into her.

Meanwhile, the strange lady went to Wilson's office immediately after she left Sophia's shop.

She already told Wilson how she talked roughly to Sophia. But what baffled Wilson most was the last statement she made. She said the girl is too good to be fooled, and Wilson does not deserve such an innocent girl after all that he has done to the ladies.

Wilson thought about what she said and promised himself not to hurt Sophia in any way. He thought about many things. He also muttered some words of prayer that no one should be a barrier to his marriage with Sophia.

The thought of Sophia being angry with him flooded his mind. He thought maybe he might have been crying because of that. He thought of calling her now and checking on her later in the day.

"Hello, how are you?" He said

"I'm fine, thanks for the other time," she answered.

"I'm sorry for what she said to you," he said calmly.

Sophia was surprised at how Wilson was aware of what happened. She didn't know how to reply to him.

Hello, are you there? Or are you still angry with me? " Wilson said stammeringly.

"No, I'm not! I'm just surprised at how you are aware of it, "she replied.

"All right, so I'm forgiven now?"He said

"Maybe, but I'm a bit scared of her, how huge she is," she said jokingly.

Don't worry, she won't hurt you, and always tell me anything that happens.

"Alright!" she said,

"That is my princess! He said it with a broad smile and hung up the call.

Wilson was a bit relieved that Sophia did not take what Cynthia told her to heart. He thanked his head that he had mentioned something like that earlier that day. He promised himself to tell Sophia everything about his past. so that it won't ruin his relationship with Sophia.

A few hours later, Niel, his friend, walked in with a broad smile on his face.

"How are you today?" He said as he had a handshake with his friend.

What brought about this smile? You won the lottery? Wilson teased his friend.

Niel smiled again and said he had just been promoted at work. Wilson was happy for his friend.

Niel said, laughing out loud, "Your girlfriend came to my office and she said you want to destroy an underage girl."

"What! Do you mean Cynthia came to your office? Why is she disturbing my life? " Wilson said in a frustrated manner.

Niel laughed out loud and said

"Is she not your favorite? Your Cynthia?" she asked sarcastically.

"You won't imagine that she went to fight Sophia," he said.

"What! How did she know Sophia? Has she seen the two of you together? "Niel asked curiously.

"I don't know too, but I've called Sophia now. He wasn't angry with me," Wilson answered.

There was a knock on the door, and Wilson knew it was his secretary. He said she should come in. She came in and announced that a lady wanted to see her. "Who could she be?" Wilson thought to himself.
