Chapter Eleven & Twelve

"Yeah, B!", Bianca heard her name from one of her colleagues. "It seems like Boss is calling you and at the same time it looks like he's in a bad mood this morning so good luck!!", Her colleague said with a small smile on his face.

"Oh", Bianca tucked her hair behind her ear and stood up from her seat. "I'll be fine, Finn", She assured him and moved away from her office.

She knocked twice before entering the office.

"Come in!!", Rhys said and Bianca entered the office after rolling her eyes.

Bianca just bowed her head without saying anything while he stared at her weirdly. She knew he was expecting a 'good morning' but that would never come so he should keep expecting shit from her.

"Take", He gave her a black card. "Go get me everything on this list", He added and gave her a small sheet of paper.

Bianca read through the paper and walked out of the door without saying a word to him. Rhys stared as she walked.

'I thought that idiot has a secretary that does this crazy work. Why me?!!', She cried in her mind and resumed walking.

'Why won't she speak to me? Am I that ugly and hard to speak to?', He thought and resumed his work shortly after having a stick.

*************

Bianca was furious that someone that doesn't have money is making her day miserable by staying stuck without buying anything.

"Can you get off the line, you broke ass guy?!!", Bianca yelled because she had been waiting for twenty minutes because of him.

He kept saying he was rich and all but why the hell can't he buy anything?

"What?", The guy looked at her and scoffed.

"Don't think I'm gonna get off this line cause you're cute and all! That doesn't work on me anymore. Do you know who I am? Wait! Don't you know me, sweetie?", Wyatts smiled at her but she ignored him and pushed him out of her way.

"I don't give a fuck even if you were the son of the president", Bianca replied and placed an order for a coffee.

"Please no sugar. No milk too and just two cubes of sugar. Then, make it a little hot but not lukewarm", Bianca said.

"What is it?", She asked Wyatts, who kept staring at her.

"You sound like my best friend right now. He's so weird when it comes to things like this but it seems like he found his match", Wyatts laughed.

"I wish I didn't meet you here", Bianca said under her breath.

"Mr. Wyatts?", One of the attendants called for him.

"Ouch!!", Bianca screamed and held the hot cup in her hands before placing it on the floor.

She looked at her wrist that was burned with fire and smiled a little.

"I'm…so-sorry", Wyatts covered his mouth and made to wipe her burned wrist.

"Oh my! I didn't mean to. I swear-", He continued but she shunned him.

"It's fine! People are waiting so just let it go", Bianca said and kept looking at her wristwatch.

"Can I get another one quickly? And I'll like everything on this list please", She handed over the small sheet of paper that included Rhys's stuff.

"What do you want?", Wyatts heard the cute woman ask with pure anger. One thing he liked about women was their fiery temper. It stands to nothing!

"Chill baby", He rubbed the back of his head shyly. "I misplaced my phone when you pushed me out of the way then so I was wondering if you could help me call it. You know- I wasn't expecting to be pushed like that so I didn't know when it fell out", Wyatts said and she stared at him.

"What?", He asked.

"Why does it look like you're lying? Whatever name you're being named", She replied.

"Oh please!", He held her hand and kissed it. "Call me Wyatts"

He watched Bianca clean the place he kissed furiously on her gown as if his lips were a virus. He laughed and looked at her more interestingly.

"Do you know many would kill for what I did to your hand, beauty?", Wyatts boasted but she rolled her eyes.

"I'm literally talking to you because I don't want a situation whereby you commit suicide or something because of my harsh words", She retorted and he laughed.

"I'll soon be leaving. Can you please call my phone?", Wyatts said for the second time.

"Lol. I thought you were a rich man. Buy a new phone, will you?", Bianca snorted.

"Oh no! I just bought that phone yesterday and there is very important stuff on it. I could suffer a huge loss without that information. Do you want that for me? Do you want my child to go hungry?", Wyatts lied so much that he could get her number.

Initially, Bianca didn't want to give him her number because he was a jerk and all. He was poor while pretending to be someone rich or even a millionaire.

How dare he?

But when she heard the word 'child', she became soft. She can understand what he was trying to say. It would be bad to deprive a father his tool to make a living to feed his child and better still, his family.

"Fine. Punch in your digits", Bianca said.

It started ringing after ten seconds. "Ah!", Wyatts exclaimed. "Here it is! I didn't know. Silly me!!", He laughed and brought out his phone from his pockets.

Bianca couldn't believe what she just saw and at the same time, she didn't have time to argue or quarrel with someone.

"Great! Bye…Wyatts", Bianca rolled her eyes and left the cafe.

It was Rhys' hard stare that scared her as soon as she walked into the office.

"You had the time to flirt with Wyatt while leaving me hungry for a long time, right?", Rhys groaned but she ignored him.

She just placed his food on his table and dropped his black card too.

"Wait a second", He raised his index finger to his forehead as if he had a headache.

"Can't you talk? Are you mute?", He asked but she just stared at him.

She finally shook her head and walked out of the office.

Rhys saw everything that happened in the cafe from his office. He saw Bianca give Wyatts her phone so he knew Wyatts had successfully collected her number without stress.

Such a dick!

Then, he saw the burn on her wrist but he didn't say anything. Actually, there was nothing he could even do about it because he was not responsible for it. And besides, he has to stay away from girls now that Rebecca has broken his heart.

Bianca walked back into his office after twenty minutes with her documents. Hardly had she entered when Rebecca busted into the office in anger.

"What the fuck are you doing here?", Rhys asked her in annoyance.

"What do you mean? Ain't I your girlfriend?", Rebecca asked and chewed her gum sexily.

"Take that out…now", Rhys ordered and glared at her.

"Fine!", Rebecca said and grabbed one of the documents from Bianca. She spat her gum into it and shoveled the paper in Bianca's hand.

Bianca couldn't take it any longer. She had endured enough shit from Rebecca Mitchell.

"It seems like you're a better artist for you to put on that stupid act of yours. You lack proper etiquette. Are you a member of the croods?", Bianca insulted Rebecca without taking a pause.

'She finally spoke', Rhys said in his mind and smiled warmly.

"What?", Rebecca couldn't handle that insult. She looked devastated and annoyed.

"Are you now deaf?", Bianca asked.

"You're fired!", Rebecca pointed at her and yelled.

"What?", Bianca had a shocking face this time but she quickly hid it.

"Are you also deaf?", Rebecca asked.

"I decided to borrow your words, idiot", Bianca said under her breath.

Rhys heard what she said and chuckled. Rebecca looked at her in anger too because she was vexed.

"Fire her, babe", Rebecca ordered and sat on Rhys' laps.

"Leave, Rebecca", Rhys instructed and burst her bubbles as soon as it was formed.

"But-"

"Go! I don't want to see you. We're over so get out!", Rhys said.

Rebecca folded her fists and left the office in embarrassment.

Bianca was suddenly speechless after Rebecca left the office. She didn't know what to say or do with Rhys. She just spoke angrily to his whatever.

"Please don't fire me", She said quietly and bit her lips.

"I wasn't going to", Rhys replied with a poker face.

"Come over here", He ordered and adjusted his seat on his computer.

Bianca stood rooted to the ground. She didn't move at all so Rhys stared at her.

"Are you still mute?", Rhys asked her and locked gaze with her.

Bianca bit her lips and walked slowly to his seat. His perfume hit her nose as soon as she walked to him.

"Careful", He said softly.

"Why can't you move closer?", He asked in annoyance.

"Cause you're a jerk?", Bianca said under her breath.

"What?", Rhys widened his eyes at her comment.

"Yeah. That's the design your girlfriend spat her gum into. I wouldn't have bothered coming here if I knew you had this on the computer", Bianca gritted her teeth.

Rhys looked at the angry young woman beside him and smiled secretly.

"Well, I'll pick you up by six this evening so get ready. We're going to the M.I club for a quick dinner with some guests.", Rhys announced suddenly. Bianca suddenly lost her balance when she heard the name of that club.

Rhys looked at her in bewilderment as she fell on his lap. He knew it wasn't intentional but he was glad it happened that way.

Bianca looked at him in shock and apologized, "I'm sorry. I was clumsy"

She tucked her long hair behind her hair shyly. Rhys saw a ring on her finger so he asked, "Aren't you single?"

"What?"

"Are you engaged?", He further asked and she shook her head.

"Oh! This! My baby and I share this so I wear mine as a ring", She smiled. "Hmm, I don't think I can make it to that club"

"It's just gonna take some minutes. We're just going there to show and seal some deals. That club gives me chills too", Rhys said.

Bianca looked at the hot guy that just said that too. That club also gives her chills too because that was the place she made out with an unknown fellow that led to Rafael's birth.

"Fine. Actually, I don't think I have anything appropriate to wear", Bianca complained because she didn't want to go to M.I club.

"I can help you with that baby! That's why I'm here", Bebe walked in like a queen happily.

"I'm Bebe Benetts", Bebe introduced herself to Bianca.

"Bianca", Bianca said plainly and smiled.

"Oh my gosh! You're so cute and pretty for a mom", Bebe said immediately and showed her her phone.

"Is this-"

"Yeah! How did you -"

"Oh my gosh! I'm in love with you baby. He's so cute and …weird. He stays alone and barfed on me", Bebe laughed and Bianca joined in the laughter.

"This is an office, Bebe", Rhys reminded his dumb sister. Whenever she sees anything like fun, her brain is blank.

Rhys watched the two women conversed and smiled when he saw Bianca laugh. Her laugh was so cute but it's good because he had noticed she doesn't have so much fun with her mean colleague.

He knew that Axel had a thing for her but it was none of his business because he doesn't feel anything for her. Yes, she's pretty but that doesn't mean he's into her.

"Are you done now? Can we go…shopping?", Bebe shrieked and took Bianca's hand.

"Two minutes to closing, Bebe", Rhys reminded her.

Bebe ignored her little brother and took his pretty artist out of his office for a shopping spree.

*************

"So, you have no shame but to spend his sister's money, Bianca?", Evie looked at Bianca with disgust.

Bianca also looked at Evie in the same manner. "What's wrong? You're jealous?"

"I can't be jealous of you", Evie replied.

"Good so keep your mouth shut", Bianca replied to Evie.

"You've fucked the boss, right?", Evie had the audacity to ask.

Bianca looked at her with wide eyes and didn't say anything. "What if I did?", She raised her brows.

"What?", Evie was surprised.

"You know what? You're a failure, Evie. Just accept it, alright", Bianca replied.

"Does he know that you had a baby from a night stand? Does he know that you wanted to abort the baby and you're a whore?", Evie had not finished her sentence when Bianca slapped her hard on the face.

Bebe came out of the bathroom after hearing that. She coughed and opened the tap to wash her hand while stealing glances at Bianca. Bianca looked like she wanted to cry but she saw fighting it back.

"Leave", She ordered Evie in anger.

Evie bowed her head but Bebe said, "That's too soon. Do that when you visit your boyfriend's burial to pay your respect for dating a bitch like you!"

Evie was embarrassed. She folded her fists and left the restroom in anger.

"It's okay, baby", Bebe patted Bianca's back but she began to cry.

"It's fine. Let it all out but I'll love to hear Rafael's story", Bebe said and Bianca sniffed.

"You do?", Bianca said. Her story isn't one someone like Bebe would want to hear. Like damn! She's not even proud of herself because she could have done better.

"Yeah! Let's do it when I'm working on your makeup", Bebe added and took Bianca's hand.
