Chapter 12
“Hey wait up Sophia, Isa” I said running to them as they made their way to the room without a word to me.
They were only glaring at me after Chase’s announcement.
I entered the room and both of them were sitting down.
“Hey, why are you both ignoring me. You were there when he made the decision himself. It’s not like I forced him to” I cried.
They have been so good to me since I came here , they made things easy for me and seeing their sad faces broke my heart.
They are one of the reason I didn’t really think much about home.
They treated me like a sister and made me not notice the absence of my family.
“We never said you forced him. Or do you?” Isabella said with a little devilish smirk.
“No! No I didn’t, why will you even think of that. You know even if I did there’s no way he’ll even give me a listening ear. C’mon, Sophia…”
“Calista, no one said this is your fault but.. is there anything you ain’t telling us?”
I raised my brows and then scoff. Now, they seem hard for me to understand what they’re pointing at.
Chase just set them free some minutes ago and they ain’t happy about it?
I mean, I don’t know if he’s actually sent them free but when he said they’re leaving this particular mansion, shouldn’t they be happy that they won’t be treated like slaves anymore?.
Instead they turned and started attacking me like I was the one that made the decision.
“This has to be a joke. I don’t understand, you were there with me downstairs. What are you talking about?” I asked completely loosing it.
Isabella stood up and slowly walk to me.
She taps me by the shoulder and hold me still, I couldn’t look at her cause she was at my back so I just stared at Sophia who avoided my gaze.
“You see… Last night, when I was going to the kitchen I saw you by the steps talking to Chase and his brother.
You just arrived three days ago and you are already taking everything away. Congratulations, you succeeded in talking him to take us away.
I hope you enjoy your stay. I knew there’s something off about you right from the very day you arrived” Isabella said and walk out of the room without another word.
Sophia stood up and walked away too.. with her.
I stood there, not really understanding what just happened.
Sophia and Isabella had misunderstood me and I never talked with Chase last night.
I don’t want to call this jealously or whatever. But since they’ve been here for years more than me, shouldn’t they know who Chase is better than me?
I have been here for just three days and I already know Chase isn’t the type that talks to people a lot especially ladies, so even if I had attempted to talk to him how do they think he’ll even reply not to talk of granting my request. I was starting to feel sick and bad.
They had misunderstood me and will always hate me thinking I’m a bad luck and the reason they were transferred.
i was still there when some men entered the room, they’ve been knocking but I was so lost that I didn’t hear them.
Without a word they started packing out Isabella and Sophia’s stuffs.
Standing up, I walked out of the room in search of Chase, he’s my boss and we haven’t talk since I arrived here and the only thing I wanna plead with him now is not to let Isabella and Sophia go.
I don’t know why I feel terribly bad , maybe because they all blamed it on me.
Chase wasn’t downstairs but when I ask one of his personal guard he led me to the garden where he was standing, backing the entry and smoking. I was about walking toward him when I noticed he was on call.
I waited until he was done before I approaches him, he didn’t notice my presence until I clear my throat. He turned to look at me but looked back again without a word.
“I’m sorry I interrupted but I wish to talk to you about something” I said staring at the floor. I suddenly don’t have the confidence anymore.
“If it’s about your room mates, forget it. I don’t go back on my words” he replied and walked away before I could even say another word.
I stood there and was almost pushed to cry but somehow I feel happy that he actually talked back to me.
Despite the fact I don’t like him, I also like him somehow which confuses me.
I didn’t realize how long I’ve been standing there until the guard came in to tell me to step out. I nodded and walked back to the building, heading to the room , I meet with Amelia who was coming out of their room with her box.
I didn’t see Sean and Deane and I guessed they’re somewhere around. I should probably go and look for Sophia and Isabella too.
I was about walking pass her when she dragged me back and unexpectedly slap me.
I felt my cheeks became hot immediately and I couldn’t see for some seconds, I raised my head up and dress my hair back as it falls on my face.
“Why?” I turn to Amelia who folded her arms beneath her breast staring at me with fury in her eyes and hatred on her face.
“If your roommates hadn’t tell you then I’ll, you’re a trash and a bad luck. And don’t think you can have Chase all by yourself now, he can never find trash like you interesting.
And somehow, you’ll see me here again, ready to take my place. Bitch” she swear and pushed me really hard making me hit my butts on the floor.
“Ouch”. I cried but she went ahead to spit on me, then carrying her box she made her way down stairs. I literally felt myself becoming weak.
SOPHIA’S POV
At the junior quarters, the guards pack our stuffs into the car boots.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
We’re away from the main building and I’m not sure Calista knew about this junior quarters.
The guards were getting us ready to drive us off. I turned to Isabella who was chewing a gum and humming.
“Don’t you think we’re too hard on her? It’s not her fault though?” I asked her, feeling extremely bad.
“Don’t tell me you care about her? She deserves ever bit of it”. She hissed.
I sighed and stared at the floor, whatever that happened is not Calista’s fault. I didn’t believe Isabella when she said she overheard Calista talking to Chase about us.
Even if she did, there’s no way Chase will do what she said.
And when I asked her if she has anything to tell us, her expression made me believe she knew nothing but Isabella’s mind is already made up.
Everyone should be happy they’re going to see their family again, I’m excited and I can understand the other girls… They all want to be with Chase, even if they’re not dating him, seeing him every day is enough.
The driver will drive us to meet with our family for at least two days or so, I didn’t get it when Chase’s personal guard was saying it.
And then after, we will return to work.. in Chase’s second apartment which he visits only once in a month.
“So, it’s the slut of a roommate that did this you huh?” Amelia said to Isabella. She has her crews behind her looking furious.
Isabella stared at me and I knew, this isn’t the Isa I had been with all this year’s, she’s different now.
“You better back out or I’ll have to puke off those big eye ball of yours” she said and continued chewing her gum.
Amelia was taken aback at her outburst, obviously she was shock as Isabella or me had never talk back to her cause she’s a bully and can get her things done in her own way.
She glared at me and walked away with Sean and Deane.
“Amazing” I said to Isabella smiling but she just nodded.
“See, don’t make this a big deal. I still don’t believe it’s Calista fault though. I mean , we have been here a long time to know Chase well, Calista have been here for just three days and there no way Chase will ever do what she says.”
Isabella looked at me and just smirked without a word , she headed to enter the car.
I sighed and walked after her. We both entered the car while Amelia, Sean and Deane entered the next car.
We stayed there for another two minutes before the driver ignited the car engine and slowly drive out of the building.
I wishe I could see Calista one more time and tell her none of this is her fault so she don’t feel too bad. But, I can’t and we will never meet each other again. Or just maybe…
