'Congratulations Miss Bianca Anderson. You've been accepted as an employee into R & B company to work as an artist for the gaming industry. Kindly come for a short interview tomorrow to be given important documents so as to verify your position. Thank you for working with R & B company!'
In a rush to check the message on her phone, Bianca had forgotten that her baby's food was on fire. She quickly dropped the phone and dashed to the kitchen to turn off the cooker.
"Whew!", She finally had a smile on her face and yelled her brother's name.
"Yes, big sis!!", Ren ran out of his room with his shoes in his hand and his hair a bit ruffled.
"What? You're not fully dressed?!!", Bianca had her hands on her waist in annoyance. Ren knew what was coming so he quickly dashed back to his room to grab his things.
"Where are you, little brat!!", Bianca had a mop stick in her hand this time. She was going to spank him hard that morning for trying to practice lateness in a new week.
"Love you sis-wait! You didn't give me money", Ren whined and stood by the door.
"I have no money to give you", Bianca said firmly.
"What? How do I get to eat this afternoon?", He asked her.
"I'll bring you lunch on my way", Bianca replied and gave him five dollars.
"Thanks. I'm gonna be given more when I come back", Ren said and rolled his eyes at his sister's confused face.
"You're bringing your test results today?", She asked him and he smiled sheepishly.
"You boast too much, Ren. Don't worry, I'll see how to treat you best tonight. We'll see what Rafael can do for you too", She smiled at her cute baby for some moments.
"Alright, I'm late now. Bye!", Ren waved at her and ran to catch the bus at the bus stop.
Bianca's eyes suddenly caught her baby's own and she looked at him in guilt.
"Your food is coming up a bit. It's too hot for you to eat, Rafael", She spoke to her baby as if he could also talk and understand what she was saying.
For fuck's sake, he is barely two years old. Her cute baby!! No other baby holds a candle to her baby when it comes to his cuteness! God, when he grows older, he's gonna be so handsome!!
That is because his father must be damn handsome and who knows?!
Maybe it's her beauty that's making him look cuter too!
***********
It was the red shoes that caught the attention of the staff first. Then, it was the clear sound of the shoes it brought that kept them mesmerized. They knew it was her. No other person can make them so orderly and dare not make a mistake. But there's one person that can be the death of them.
His name is Rhys Benetts. Today, it was Rebecca Mitchell. She is currently the owner of a mighty company that is popularly known as Acceber D & Ss. She is the chief executive officer of a pharmaceutical company where she produces millions of drugs, stimulants and even medical equipment for countries.
There was a time that her company was charged with selling fake drugs with the usage of harmful contents. After going on trails and having a successful hearing in court, she sued the people for the charges.
That made her more influential and richer. She bounced back as someone that is three times richer than what she owned before. She earned respect from her colleagues and people that are older than her.
Now, her name is included in the top ten most influential people according to forbes. But her name still sits in number two when ranked for the top ten most influential females according to the country 's numbering.
Rebecca held her head high and barged into Rhys' room without listening to the secretary's warnings.
Two stoned faces looked at her in displeasure before turning their heads around to continue their unfinished business before they were interrupted.
The two men shook hands together after discussing.
"Go look for proper etiquette in case you've forgotten how to know, Miss. Acceber", The business man spoke to her in spanish.
"I have hands to knock, Mr.", Rebecca replied the man angrily and knocked his shoulder as she walked past him.
Rhys sat in his chair and sipped his wine without having any care in the world. He didn't care about what had happened or happened right now as long as he was not involved in the matter.
"Babe!", Rebecca fell into his lap. He slid his arms around her waist and kissed her tenderly.
"You're late", He scolded her.
She slid her arms around him and whispered into his ears, "I'll make up for it"
"By giving me your silly drugs?", He raised his brows.
"Nooo. By giving you a sexy drug", She began to slide her hands into his pants while he began to kiss her all over her face till he unzipped her gown in a second.
*************
"I'm his mom of course. What do you mean by "I should bring his real parents?", Bianca was already frustrated with what the day care staff were telling her for the past twenty minutes.
"I don't know how to prove to you I'm his mother aside from all what I've done", Bianca yelled at them.
She picked up her son from the stroller and kept him in her eyes.
"Spot the difference. Tell me!!", She yelled and they kept quiet. Bianca was surprised. Why the hell weren't they quarreling with her anymore?
"Sir", They all bowed their heads for a young guy that was approaching them.
"What's going on here?", The guy asked and Bianca looked at him in surprise.
"Oliver? Scott? Is that you?", Bianca dropped Rafael back into the baby stroller and looked at her former classmate. They weren't so close because of the awkwardness that was between them when she rejected him for confessing his love for her back then.
She was a hot chick in high school with many boys swooning over her beauty. Who in his right senses would not want to fall in love with the most pretty girl in high school or go out with her?
"Jasmine?", He looked at her and smiled. "You haven't changed a bit", he added and she smiled shyly.
"I have. See, I have a baby now", She said and he nodded while biting his lips a little.
"She's lying sir. I'm sure that's not her baby judging from her appearance. I'm sure she hasn't even graduated from the university. She just brought someone else's baby here to play around and waste our time", One of the staff ran her mouth so much even thought the other staffs gave her different signs to keep the fuck up.
"You're fired for that wrong statement, Zoe. First of all, she is the real mother of the baby. Also, we attended the same university and high school; meaning that she graduated from Cambridge university as the best student from her department. Why the hell would she bring some one's baby here to enroll based on a lie?", Oliver let it all out.
The other staff looked at her in awe and shock. They looked on from Oliver's face to Bianca's face.
"We're so sorry, ma'am. We thought -"
Oliver didn't let them finish before he said, "They were just considering safety, Jasmine. They were just looking out for many things. They are really sorry for what happened and whatever led to the misunderstanding"
"Bianca", Bianca corrected him.
"What?", He asked her.
"It's Bianca not Jasmine, Oliver", She said and he nodded.
"I'm sorry for that", He said and dispersed the staff. Zoe apologized to her before she left the place too.
Bianca looked at Oliver in surprise and asked, "And how did you know that I have a baby?"
He shrugged and replied, "Evie told us everything that happened last night"
"Last night?", Bianca asked him. "What happened last night and what did Evie say to you?"
"We had our reunion last night and everyone was present except you for some reasons", He replied and she raised her brows in a confused manner.
"Oh! That was the reunion she told me about but she said something else about it not the event being a reunion", Bianca said and he nodded.
He knew that Evie is a tricky fellow with many tricks up to her sleeves. "Okay, do you want me to tell you what happened at the event?"
"Yes please", She replied to him and he took a deep breath before opening his mouth to answer her.
"She told us that you had a baby out of a night stand. Is it also true that up till now, you don't know who slept with you that night?", Oliver asked her but she glared at him.
"What the hell are you trying to say, Oliver?", She yelled at him.
"Chill Bianca. It wasn't me that said that at the reunion. You should go to Evie for the rest. What if I never told you what happened yesterday?", He was angry and turned around to leave.
Bianca held him back and apologized for her rudeness.
"Do…do you want to go for a walk with me?", Bianca asked him and he agreed immediately.
"Sure", He agreed and watched her push the baby in the stroller carefully.
"What's his name?", Oliver asked her and she smiled before answering him.
"Rafael", She answered him.
"What's his age?", He asked her and she answered that he was not up to two years.
"Oh great!", Bianca said.
"So, can I start bringing Rafael to the day care or what?", Bianca asked without looking at him.
"About that, yes but I still have to check with my mom. She runs this place even though I built it. I work in a library-"
"As a librarian", Bianca interrupted him.
"How did you know that?", She heard him ask.
"I knew that was your dream. You've always wished to work in a very big library as a librarian", She replied.
"I can't really believe you still remember that", Oliver said and she smiled.
"It's alright though. I still remember little of our childhood memories", Bianca added and he smiled.
"So, that's where I work as a librarian", Oliver said and pointed to a big library by the roadside.
"Okay, she's coming now and I don't want to talk to her yet", Bianca pushed the stroller faster because she doesn't want to talk to Evie yet. But then there were more girls with her, in fact, it was her former classmates that were approaching her.
"Bianca!!", Three of them rushed to her and hugged her.
One of them screamed when she saw her baby in the stroller.
"Omg!! It's fucking true!! You really have a baby Bianca!! You said the truth Evie!", The girl screamed but covered her mouth when she saw the baby look at her in fright. She carried the baby in her arms and kissed him all over the face.
Evie looked at her feet in guilt but didn't say anything at all.
"So, where's your husband or rather still the father? Is it true you gave your virginity to a stranger?", The other girl asked. Her name was Mira and she was known for being a chatterbox.
"And is it true you had this baby from a night stand?", The last girl asked.
Bianca took a deep breath and answered their questions in one syllable, "Yes"
They looked at her and laughed at her for a long time before they regained their composure.
"What did you tell them, Evie?", Bianca looked at her in pure anger. She can't believe that she confided in her only for the truth to be leaked to strangers.
"I'm sorry, Bianca. I was too drunk to realize-"
"Stop lying, Evie. You didn't drink any alcohol or beer till we left the reunion", The first girl bursted and Oliver nodded in confirmation.
"Oh!", That was the only thing Evie could say.
"Well, actually that was the first thing Evie told us as soon as everyone was complete - except you", Mira said and Evie stepped on her foot.
"Ah! What is that for, Evie?!", Mira looked at her in anger.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know your feet were there" Evie said and apologized to her.
"So, from all I heard from you all, Evie went to the reunion to share my story with you", Bianca asked and they nodded.
"Oh great! You told me that a fun fair was happening yesterday so I didn't come not knowing it was a reunion that was taking place", Bianca glared at her in rage.
"But I'm happy I didn't go to the reunion. Thanks for leaking the information, best friend", She said and took her baby from the first girl.
She put him back in the stroller and waved 'goodbye' to Oliver before turning around to go.
"Bye Bianca!!", The three girls waved at her but she ignored them till she went out of view.
****************
"Hey man!!", Wyatt's voice boomed from behind making Rhys to shake in fear.
"What the hell man?", Rhys hissed and put down the cigarette in his hand.
"When did you return?", Wyatt asked him.
"That's none of your business. What mattered the most is that I'm back in America", Rhys smiled and went to sit on the sofa.
"I'm actually glad that you're back. You left as soon as you heard your dad wants you to go to Italy for two years. First of all, you visited a club to fuck girls and then you were gone to Italy in a flash!", Wyatt laughed at him.
"Don't bring up that crazy matter again. I'm not proud of it either", Rhys said.
"But that crazy matter made you number one in the city as the most influential person in the country", Wyatts argued and tried to light a stick.
"Get out of my office if you want to smoke", He heard Rhys threaten him.
"But you fucked Rebecca in this same office", Wyatts said and Rhys scoffed.
"What I do in my office is none of your business. Even though I fucked her on the chair you're sitting on, it's none of your fucking business", Rhys said and Wyatts rolled his eyes.
"Actually, I came for the game you promised me", Wyatts reminded him.
"Too bad, you ruined my mood so I'll sell it to you instead", Rhys responded.
"Fine. It's not as if I don't have money to buy it anyways. How much is the game?", Wyatts asked him.
"It's not expensive. It's just ten million dollars", Rhys said nonchalantly.
Wyatts choked on the water he was drinking. He dropped the cup and looked at him in a funny way.
"This is no time for April fools, man. Tell me the original price", Wyatts said but Rhys didn't say anything.
"Damn! Why would I spend ten million dollars on a freaking game when I can spend that money on many hoes in the fucking club!", Wyatts said.
"I knew you didn't have the money to buy Wyatts. You shouldn't have boasted when your dad seized your credit card", Rhys mocked him.
Wyatts laughed when Rhys said that. "Okay. You got me. I don't really have any money to give you because my card has been seized by the old man", Wyatts confessed.
"That's why I sent the game to your house directly", Rhys said with a small smile.
Wyatts looked at him and smiled widely. "Really? That's why I love you so much, Rhys. You're the best. You can fuck Rebecca anywhere you like. I don't mind. But I think the chair I'm sitting on will be the best spot", He laughed and got up before Rhys would throw something at him.
He went out of the door and his Secretary entered immediately after blushing for some seconds on seeing Wyatt's face.
"Sir! Mr. Antonio is here to see you concerning your appointment in the afternoon", The secretary said and he nodded.
"Take those out", He pointed to the cigarettes and ashtray.
"Yes sir", The secretary nodded and quickly cleared the used cigarettes and the ashes in the tray.
