Chapter 9 - CHAPTER NINE:THE NIGHT BAR

Just as Sophia had imagine the day to be so God damnly boring immediately it clocked six pm she gerked on her feet ready to go home ..

 " we have a board meeting with one of our associates by seven this evening ... so you could wait a little longer the meeting won't take time '' MR.Ethan said the moment he saw her standing to go outside .

 " okay yes mr.blackwood '' she said without mincing a word she wasn't ready to face him this evening .

 " And what did we say about my name ?" he asked me looking puzzled with his brow shut up .

 " um... sir I can't seem to...'' Sophia was about to complete the statement he cut in .

 " Oh , so now you forget things right ?'' he said looking a little bit disappointed.

 " huh coming from someone who forgot that they got a new secretary just after a week" I muttered under my breath but not quite audible enough for him to her me .

 " I said you can call me Ethan yeah , at least last time I checked you are not that dumb '' he said and faced his work back .

 I just rolled my eyes at him when I was sure he already moved his gaze away from me ... I just sat there mute for over an hour before the meeting commenced I was to take down notes which I did practically ... at least that's the only real job I know I practically do there apart from stealing glances and listening to whatever Mr.Ethan got to say .

 immediately our associates or business partner however they wanna put it to make it professional left the office I hurriedly parked my things and walked out of the office but not after Ethan told me to have a goodnight .I was practically running by the time I left the elevator " gosh am so tired !" 

 " hey just right on time ,I was coming to pick you up from the office you know ." Micheal said Immediately he sighted me ...

 " Evening ...Micheal " I said I wanted to ask him something

 " yeah '' he said and turned his full gaze at me it was so noticeable that he was openly checking me out but I just wasn't ready to start a late night argument right now ...

 " um.. is there any cool night club around here ?" I asked with ' a there better be' look on my face .

 " yeah ,I can take you there if you want but am gonna be off by eight so you practically have to be out of there by eight deal ...cause I don't want to be the reckless one here .

 " please do '' I said walking over the car which he had already held the door open for me ... " thank you '' I muttered as I entered the car practically respecting myself so he won't change his mind cause he was a very sly being .

 " So why do you suddenly wanna go to a bar .. you know you can't practically come to work tommorow with a hangover " he said ..I knew he would try to stop me from going to the bar but whatever am one step ahead.

 '' naah I just wanted to make new friends at least at a bar you know work place friends are always serious'' 

 " hmm I see so ... am always serious'' 

 " David ! c'mon I didn't mean you just the workplace , you are always fun to talk with .... " I stopped myself from saying further so he won't get the wrong impression.

 " uh ,huh and you've been acting like you don't enjoy my company always acting moody or something ... 

 " are we there yet '' I asked trying to change the topic cause I know where he was heading to which of course I know I practically changed the topic but he just left it like that just this once and I was so greatful he did.

 He kept driving but came at full stop at a place where many people where hovering around he slowed down the pace of the car when we got to where the security guards where and whined down the car window ... the security without much inspection let him in maybe because he was a casual customer here ...

 " seems like someone is a casual here huh .. and you were all over the place talking about another person going through hangover huh ! I said practically testing his patience when he slide the window up .

 " And seems like you don't know me to well to know am also a figure in the public ,you should be lucky I drove you to the bar I never do that for anyone '' he said practically joking

 " oh looks like am getting princess treatment this night .. who are you just now '' I said which made me laugh real hard but what I said wasn't that funny though.

 He just motioned me to walk further and without wasting time we were in . oh my Gosh I love this with a smell of alcohol lingering the air yeah it's been long I acted out of character... I walked to the bartender and asked for taqueli which he gave me and I took the first shot ... about to take the second when a lady assumed to be of same age as me but my God why is she looking so good ...

 " hey um... am Rose " she said extending her hand which I shove in return by saying " Sophia '' 

 " o...Kay Sophia would you like to join me , I mean no harm just that I came here alone and I don't want the men to bug me so I have to practically get a company are you okay with that '" she shouted the music was too loud so it was necessary ... I just nodded and followed her suite to a couch we sat there .. we were discussing and laughing away our time I was sure I took four ,five no practically seven shots but I wasn't feeling it cause I was practically used to consuming huge alcohol then I took another shot but my glass was grabbed away from I looked up and there he was David ahhh can he just let me be...

 " we made a deal Sophia , by eight you are out and this is it ..! he motioned me to stand up .

 " I can walk on my own , I don't get drunk easily " I Said reassuring him .he didn't argue he just dragged me out of the club muttering under his breath that he won't take me to a club ever again. he drove me home bid me farewell when he was sure I locked my door shut .

 I slept like a baby which I never did ever since I started working but today was kinda weird why did I hear my alarm clock or maybe it not morning yet I checked my phone to know the time and it was eight am as I was still stuck in shock I stood up from my bed but my head just doesn't wanna get it together still standing I heard my door bell ring " oh ,shit am so done for ...!"
