Chapter 58_ Scoldings
Alexa’s palms fisted by her sides as she tried to wrap her mind around what just happened, that’s right! this fatty! just slapt her..
“How dare you?!” She screeched and suddenly pulled Becky by her hair..
Aldrin’s eyes widened, he stood up to his feet trying to detach the two from each other, Becky’s hand grabbed a glass from the table after which she spilled the content on Alexa..
Anita was less concerned about this whole fighting scene next to her, for starters, her daughter was way too rude and arrogant, and whatever Becky just did made her somewhat happy..
“That’s enough you both!”
Bernard’s yell fell on deaf ears as the two continued to scratch and pull each other’s hairs..
“Anita.. the least you could do is to help” Patricia scolded which made Anita’s brows crease, the old lady finally spoke..
“Hey you both stop fighting..” she murmured in sarcasm before turning to Patricia..
“See? they didn’t listen” She added
Aldrin’s hands went to his nose after a punch from one of the girls was sent to his nose..
Becky and Alexa voluntarily detached from each other as they stared at Aldrin in horror..
Anita’s seat screeched back immediately as she rushed to Aldrin examining his nose..
“Oh goodness.. not the good part of him!” She groaned out touching his hand that was still holding his nose..
She turned around to face the girls who now had a look of sympathy on their faces, but heck no! she wasn’t going to fall for that not especially when her husband was involved!..
“Don’t you both have any inch of shame?! fighting over a seat?!”
***
Bianca sighed in satisfaction before placing the empty glass on the table..
Today she woke up on a positive note, which was obviously because of the dream she dreamt about last night where she had pushed Xander off a cliff..
“Nothing can ruin my beautiful morning!”
Her mum walked in with a bouquet of red roses sniffing it..Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ahh.. smells so good, I’m so jelly of you baby”
Bianca’s brows creased, what came to her mind at first when she saw the roses was that Nathan had probably sent them for her mum..
But that wasn’t the case it was sent for her..
“What do you mean?”
Cassie giggled teasingly wriggling her brows “Xander sent them for you.. I think the young man is really in love with.. I have no idea why you’re giving him a cold shoulder”
Bianca’s eyes fell on the rose, she snatched it from her mum and threw it down to her feet, after what she had done to him yesterday?
Her thoughts drifted back to the previous day when he stopped by at her house, she had literally chased him out with a fork threatening to stab his butt with it if he didn’t leave..
“Mum! there’s nothing like that between us! how many times do I have to tell you that?”
Cassie folded her arm beneath her bossom, she gets that Bianca was shy but why exactly? Xander wasn’t a bad man, infact he was lovely and also charming..
“You’re just too much Bianca”
“Aunt.. can we call mummy? I’ve missed her a lot” Kelvin who just appeared spoke out with a pout, this was the longest he had stayed without seeing his mum..
Bianca opened her arms for Kelvin to walk into her embrace, she wrapped her arm around him and planted a soft kiss on his forehead..
“Awnnn guess who is missing his mummy a lot.. of course let’s call her after all I miss that little troublemaker too”
Kelvin giggled and pulled away from Bianca while she reached for her phone in her pants pocket..
***
Olivia took a glance at the bed when she heard her phone ringing, she rushed to it knowing well enough who the caller was..
Great! it was a video call, without wasting any much time, she answered the call and the first thing that popped up was Kelvin’s face..
“Mummy!!” he shrieked in excitement..
“Awwnn baby.. mummy has missed you a lot, wait why aren’t you dressed up for school? are you feeling sick?”
Kelvin shook his head slowly at the other end, Bianca’s face popped next to his with a teasing smile..
“So bestie, how do you like the surprise you met over there?”
Olivia’s eyes narrowed at Bianca’s face, of course! she was also an accomplice in this whole show she didn’t find funny at all..
“Just let me get back home! I’ll rub my sweaty armpits over your pillows!”
Bianca chuckled hard at Olivia’s expression, Olivia noticed the door opening at the other end until her mum hurried in..
“I’m here!!” Sandy announced walking closer to the sofa where the three sat..
She hovered over the sofa and suddenly smiled on seeing her daughter’s annoyed expression which was obviously feigned..
“From that expression I can tell you loved what you saw over there”
Olivia slapt her forehead feeling speechless, her mum was just too much..
“Mum please not now”
However, she noticed everyone of them suddenly froze up staring at her which made her crease her brows in worry, not until a fresh scent of sandalwood and male shampoo reached her sensitive nose that was not so red anymore unlike the last two days she was down with a fever….
“Daddy!”
Kelvin screeched breaking the silence from the two ends, Olivia turned around swiftly to find Damien just standing behind her.. her lips parted slightly..
Why??
Damien’s body glistened with droplets of water which was obviously because he just stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel that slung lazily around his waist showing off his toned body.
His chiseled physique flashed in her eyes, for a moment there she was lost, lost staring at the male god that suddenly appeared before her..
His damped hair stuck to his forehead, and a few stray droplets trickle down his rugged jawline before gliding down to his neck and then to his chest before it disappeared completely into the towel…
She gulped..
Damien’s grey eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, and his full lips curve into a subtle teasing smile, knowing that he was also able to get this type of reaction from her….
Meanwhile at the other end, Sandy and Cassie giggled at Olivia’s dazed face..
“Umm.. I guess we will speak later since you’re a bit busy..” Bianca imputed and suddenly disconnected the call without giving Olivia a chance to speak..
Olivia stared at the black screen and cleared her throat trying to ease the tensed air..
“Seems not every lady can resist my charm after all”
She turned around to face him once more with a mocking look in her amber eyes..
“You’re so far the worst I’ve seen.. but don’t feel bad about it there’s still a chance for an improvement..” She scorned before leaving for the bathroom..
Damien stared at her back moving away quickly with a smirk, no matter how hard she tried to deny it, he knew well that he had an effect on her..
***
Rihanna got out of the cab and settled her fare, she turned around staring at the hotel where Damien and Olivia were currently staying at..
A corky smile smeared on her lips as she pulled her trunk along with her into the building, she walked to the reception desk with a small smile..
The receptionist’s eyes narrowed down at Rihanna who was approaching her, she instantly recognized her..
She was Rihanna Brown.. and also Mr Sterling’s fiancee..
“Welcome ma’am!”
Rihanna gave a nod and leaned in a little bit closer than normal to the receptionist..
“I’m here to book a room…. wait a minute.. which room is Damien Sterling currently occupying?”
The receptionist’s smile froze, she recalled that both Mr Sterling and a lady were both sharing a room.. was he cheating on his fiancee?
She felt confused on what to do, what if she got fired for telling Miss Brown the truth?
“Ma’am.. he asked me to keep it confidential, I hope you understand?”
Rihanna’s once smiling face changed into an annoyed expression as she glared hard at the lady before her..
“Do you have a death wish?!” She barked out sending chilly glares to the receptionist whose eyes darted around..
“Ma’am.. I’m so sorry but that’s the truth.. you can call him to hear from him, I’m deeply sorry”
Rihanna took in a deep breath, she just had a four hours flight and she was so worn out to argue with the latter..
“Fine! just tell me the room where his Secretary, Olivia Parker stays”
“Ma’am, only one room was booked”
Rihanna’s eyes nearly popped out of its sockets, Damien was sharing a room with Olivia?!
Her eyes blazed in anger before she turned to the receptionist once more with a murderous glare..
“What room are they currently staying at?! and don’t you dare lie to my face!” She threatened through gritted teeth..
