Fiona’s POV
Yesterday I discussed my problem with Sophia and today she solved it. I wonder when did I get that lucky to have someone who can solve all my problems in the blink of an eye. Yes, Sophia found an apartment for me and that too I don’t need to do any paperwork before that. I am so happy.
Currently, I am getting ready to meet her. I wore blue skin-tight jeans with a white floral top with some print. I wore heels and grabbed my luggage which I packed last night because I had decided if Sophia didn’t find anything I would go to another hotel.
I took a quick glance at my room to check I haven’t missed anything. Once I was sure everything was good I grabbed my luggage and left. I locked my room and went to the reception area for the check-out process where Sophia was waiting for me.
I greeted her and did all the formalities. I exited the hotel and waited for Sophia to come. She came back soon and I hugged her and thanked her for all the help.
Sophia gave me the keys and I felt that a heavy burden was removed from my shoulders. I hugged her and excitedly told, “Thanks a lot, Sophia. You are the best.”
Once we pulled off the hug she nodded and advised me, “No problem ma’am. But keep in mind if anyone asks your name, say you are Sophia because I told my friend that I will be shifting to her apartment.”
I looked at her confusingly, which she understood immediately and cleared the air saying, “She has been out of the country for many years and there is no chance she will come back anytime soon. So, you have nothing to worry about.”
I was about to reply to her when we heard someone from the cleaning staff, “Sophia, sir is calling you.”
She nodded to her and turned to me and continued, “Now listen, just go to the Galaxy apartments and the flat number is thirte-” but before she continued the girl dragged her to the entrance which I thought was her friend saying, “Sophia, come.”
“You go ahead. I will manage.”, I yelled and once she entered the hotel I turned to see the cab, and soon I got it. I sat inside the cab and cheered saying, “Flat number thirty. I am coming to Galaxy apartments.”
The driver smiled seeing my excitement and I mouthed a sorry to him and soon we hit the road.

I was lost in my Lala world that I didn’t even notice when we reached the galaxy apartments and the driver declared that we had reached. I thanked him and paid. Once the cab was gone I entered the Galaxy Apartments Building and I asked the security guard, “excuse me, flat number thirty?”
I didn’t know whether it was my imagination but he was shocked to hear me. For once I was afraid that he recognized me but soon he replied, “Thirty, it’s on the fourth floor.”
“Thanks a lot.”, I said and ran to the elevator before anyone else noticed me here after all I can’t risk getting identified.
Soon I was on the fourth floor and I started walking looking at the flat numbers. It started from the forty flat number and I walked fast to reach thirty but in my life, nothing goes as planned so I bumped into someone and the keys slipped from my hands.
I yelled, turning to the person, “Ohh s**t, can’t you see properly?”
“You?”, I pointed my finger at the man in front of me and I continued hitting my head dramatically, “f**k, my day is ruined.”
It was that stupid man who was laughing at me when I fell on the floor, out of the club. I got angry
“Ohh, Ms. Princess. You ruined my day, not the other way round.”, he replied arrogantly and I was about to give him a savage reply but before that his phone started ringing and he turned to leave saying, “Yes, I am coming.”
“Irritating.”, I commented and grabbed the keys from the floor, and went to my flat. I unlocked the door and entered the house. It was filled with darkness. I took my time finding the switch and soon the room was filled with light.
I turned and looked at the house and my jaw dropped looking at the beauty of the flat. It is far more beautiful than my hotel room. When I looked at the building from the outside I was expecting an average room but all my worry vanished after seeing the room.
I was standing in the drawing-room with a huge couch in between and in front of that there was an 80-inch plasma screen TV. On the right, there was an open kitchen and it was looking awesome with all the latest kitchen appliances, and great Italian marbles there were many paintings on the wall from which I concluded that Sophia’s friend must be an artist.
I said looking at everything and was really happy with everything, “Ohh my god. This is so beautiful.”
I jumped with happiness and then I thought to explore.
I walked into the kitchen and the aroma of food filled my nostrils. I opened the refrigerator and saw the freshly made food, “Wow, Sophia made food for me too”. I looked into the bowl and it was filled with my favorite white sauce pasta my mouth got watery and I tasted it and moaned with the taste, “yummy, you are a true friend Sophia.”
I was about to taste the noodles too but then I thought, “I should take a bath first then I will have something.”
With that, I walked into the bedroom to freshen up. I entered the bedroom and was welcomed with the strong manly fragrance. There was a huge bed and there was a portrait of an old couple which I assumed was the parents of the owner. There was a huge mirror with many perfumes and strangely everything was neat and clean so I promised in my mind to keep everything as it is. I can’t afford to ruin anything on someone else’s premises. I opened the wardrobe and found it was filled with men's clothes.
