After taking a bath, Sofia sat at the small table next to her bed and began to design a new project. She was an architect, just like Veronica, but she was never recognized in her past life, because Veronica always took all the credit for her work.
The door opened and Veronica entered.
"Sister, are you okay?" she said, feigning concern. "Look, don't take what Dad and Mom said to heart. They love you very much, you just need to please them more and do everything they ask."
Sofia looked at Veronica, thinking that in her past life she was so innocent and only in the last moments of her life did she realize how fake she was.
Of course, she would ask Sofia to always do what her parents asked, because everything they asked was always to benefit Veronica. Always take the blame for her mistakes, always hand over her work to her...
They always said that she was older and therefore should always take care of Veronica, but the age difference between them was only one year and the help that Veronica asked for was always to steal the spotlight using her work.
Sofia said:
"Hum." and continued to draw.
"What's that?" Veronica said, pointing to a red mark on Sofia's neck. "Don't tell me you spent the night with someone?" Veronica began to laugh.
Sofia ignored her and continued to draw.
"If Mom and Dad find out, they'll be furious with you. They might even force you to resign from the company. Who was it, huh? A waiter? A bellhop? I know, one of those drunk old men who were at the bar! What a scandal it would be if everyone knew!"
Sofia stopped drawing and said:
"How do you know that this mark is from a night of sex? It could just be an allergy. Are you used to getting these marks?"
Veronica stopped laughing momentarily, it was the first time that Sofia had refuted what she said.
She was used to seeing Sofia beg on her knees when she found out that she had done something wrong.
"Oh, well... you drank so much yesterday and ran out. I thought that..."
"I only drank a glass of wine," Sofia said.
"But you weren't in your room..."
"How do you know I wasn't in my room? Did you go there to check why?"
"Oh, well... I didn't go..." Veronica said, disconcerted. She couldn't reveal that she tried to take Lucas to Sofia's room, but didn't find her. "I called your room and no one answered."
"I was sleeping and I left the room phone on mute, is there a problem?" Sofia asked.
"No, sister!" Veronica said, with teary eyes. "Do you think I want to accuse you of something? I'm sorry, I don't want to. It's just that I was worried. Lucas too, you know? He kept asking about you all the time. I think he wanted to be with you that night, but you ran away. Let's do this, I'll arrange another meeting for you. Next week is a friend of mine's birthday and they invited you, they said that without you the party won't be the same. And look, Lucas was also invited."
"I'm not interested," Sofia said and went back to drawing, leaving Veronica disconcerted. Before, whenever she heard Lucas's name she was always so excited and now, she seemed so indifferent.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Veronica said, trying to change the subject.
"Just an idea I had," Sofia said, continuing to draw.
Veronica suddenly pulled the plan and began to analyze it.
"This looks good, very good! Now that I'm the chief architect, you'll have to do a lot of amazing work for me. I'm very happy that you're already doing new projects to help me. Sister, if you keep this up, I'll convince Lucas to go on a date with you!"
Sofia pulled the sheet from Veronica's hands and said:
"This work here will be mine alone. It's not for you. Please leave, you're bothering me."
Veronica was once again speechless, Sofia seemed ugly and distant.
"Did she find out something?"
"Sister, did you hear or were you told anything about me yesterday?"
