Chapter 2: How did it end
"I don't like her" Anna suddenly broke the silence in the car even as James' attention remained on the road.
"Huh?" he turned his head slightly to ask before facing the road again.
"You heard me! If you really want this to work between us, I think you know what to do" She turned to face the window nonchalantly.
"What do you mean? Mia is my friend. We've been friends since we were young, I can't just cut her off because you want me to!" He stated without looking at her either.
"And I am your girlfriend! We just started dating a week back. Can't you do this for me?" At this point, she turned her head from the window to look at him. The anger in her eyes was visible. Even her tone increased when she spoke. She took a deep breath and spoke calmly "Choose one. Me or her?"
"Are you crazy?" He asked as he tried to focus on her and on the road.
"Choose one now!!" She screamed. She had never seen someone as uncultured as Mia. And her presence alone annoyed her.
James was startled. He slowly parked by the side of the road. He covered his face with his palm as he took a deep breath. "Get out!" he ordered.
"What?.." Anna was shocked "You don't mean that do....." Before she could finish, he roared again for her to leave. She was so shocked that she gradually got down. Disappointment was written all over her face.
"Don't you love me?" she asked while holding the door of the passenger seat. Tears was already pouring out of her eyes.
"I'll send you a taxi" He said as he stretched to her side to lock the door and drove off...
As soon as Mia got home, she went straight to the kitchen. She knew her mother would be there even by this time of the night. Linda was a local baker and the best in the neighborhood. She was always up trying to organize her things before heading to the bakery in the morning.
When she got to the kitchen, she found her mum there and gave her a back hug.
"Mum" she called gently.
"Move back, you'll get stained with flour" Linda warned.
"I want to get stained" Mia said as she tightened her arms around her.
Linda chuckled before pushing her off.
"Don't be silly child. How was your date?" she asked.
Earlier that day, Mia had lied to her that she was going out on a date because her Linda had tried to matchmake her with her friend's son and so she had lied that she had a boyfriend already who loved her so much. Even while saying it, she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry because she knew that something like that was never going to happen.
Mia finally released her "It was okay. He told me he could not live without me and even cried as he knelt down" She grinned as she narrated the scene from the movie she saw earlier.
"Oh, I see!" Linda smiled as she washed her hands.
"You should go sleep now, it's late. Remember you'll be helping me deliver bread in the morning" Linda smiled as she sent her out of the kitchen.
"Okay, Good night. Don't overwork yourself" Mia said to her while leaving the kitchen. As soon as she got to the door, Linda called "Child'' so Mia turned.
Linda always addressed her as 'Child'. Mia was Linda's second child but she was never her favorite. She couldn't tell why her mother didn't like her but always favored her elder sister instead. Although they had been rich at one point, she grew up without much love from her family, and so she had to depend on herself. But after her father disappeared 8 years ago and they became broke, her elder sister, Mary could not endure living a difficult life, so she disappeared 4 years ago. Since then, she had been with her mother and have gradually received a little love from her. She could tell Linda was trying to force herself and didn't care much but Mia loved the attention still even though she still wished to hear her mum call her 'Mia' one day.
In one part of her mind, she really wished Mary would never come back home.
Mia smiled and looked at Linda, wondering while she was called back.
"I was just wondering,... How did it end?"
Linda grinned and looked at her.
"What are you talking about?" Mia gave her a puzzled look.
"The movie, How did it end? Did she forgive him after he knelt down and cried?" Linda couldn't help laughing as she saw Mia's surprised look.
She's been found out!
Chapter 3: ONE MONTH LATER
Before the car got to the entrance of the mall, the employees were already standing there, waiting for their boss to arrive. Offending their boss was a risk they never wanted to take. They stood accordingly even as the cars gradually stopped.
One of the bodyguards who was also waiting, went to the car in the middle as soon as they stopped and opened the door.
Gradually their Boss stepped out. She was dressed professionally even though she was young. Her hair was loose, mild makeup, a body hug trouser suit and stiletto.
They all bowed to greet her but she maintained her icy look and didn't spare them a second glance until she noticed something and stopped in front of an employee. It was clear that the employee was older than her but she was already shivering.
"What's your name and how old her you?" She asked coldly.
"I'm... I'm.. Mabel. Mabel Steve and I'm 28 ma" she successfully answered after stammering repeatedly.
"Do you think you're in a clubhouse for you to dress like this?" She turned to look at her assistant. "Handle this" After speaking she walked past all of them. It was at that point that some people remembered to breathe. Their boss was in her early 20's but she was terrifying.
Mabel was already on the floor. She knew it was over for her. Everyone knew she always dressed seductively despite being in a uniform in order to entice men, too bad she didn't know their boss was coming today. They were even more shocked because Mabel had told them she was 21.
They kept talking until they were scolded by their superior before they finally dispersed.
As soon as she got to her office which she haven't visited in a long while, she sent every other person out then took a deep breath. When she was sure she was the only one left in the office, she smiled.
"I'm back baby" she said as she jumped on her couch in a playful manner. She was lost in happiness before the sound of her ringtone brought her back to reality.
She took the call without looking at the ID and was shocked when she heard the voice on the other end.
"Long time no see Chloe" He said.
She was shocked for a minute before responding.
"You... you're back? when did you get back? why didn't you call me to pick you up?"She stammered.
"Hahaha..I wanted to surprise you all anyway. But don't tell anyone though. I'm having a bad jet lag so I have to rest in my place first. You didn't change my passcode right?" The voice at the other end of the phone replied.
Chloe was happy and wanted to chat more but when she heard the last sentence, she almost died of heart attack.
"No..no...no...no... just come home instead okay? we'll let you rest" she tried to stop him. But was unable to and out of anxiety she hung up and immediately dialed another number.
**************
"This place is really huge" Mia exclaimed while looking around James's apartment.
"You act like it's your first time here" James replied.
"It's not my first time here but its going to be my first time staying here by myself" Mia countered.
She was lucky that during her school break, James also had a break from medical school and so they were able to hang out and catch up. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to retain her room in her hostel since she was supposed to pay for her room before resuming. When she remembered, it was already too late and Getting an apartment was not so easy especially within a very short time. Luckily for her, James was traveling back to school and had asked her to stay in his place, which was closer to her school, till she finds a place.
"What? You want me to stay with you?" James asked chuckling..
Before Mia could answer, his phone rang.
James took out his phone from his pocket and when he saw the caller's ID, he ignored it.
"Why aren't you taking your call?" Mia asked while sipping from a glass of juice.
"It's the house owner, she's too troublesome, I wonder what she's calling for" He wondered.
"Then stop wondering and take your call"
"Nah! I'll just text her that I'm at the airport leaving town" He looked at Mia and noticed she was glaring at him "What? it's not like I'm lying, I'll be leaving for the airport any minute" He said.
James could still remember how he met the house owner. He just got into town and didn't want to stay at home during his little school break so on his way to look for an apartment, he bumped into a Lady in the agency who kept pestering him that she had a good place, he was tempted since the market value was reduced by half. Although, she told him there was someone else in the apartment, but he won't be coming till the coming year. So he gladly took the deal.
He laughed as he narrated the encounter to Mia.
"But James, What if your housemate comes?" She asked.
"Hmm, he won't be coming anytime soon. So have fun..Time to go bro" James ruffled her hair as he left with his luggage.
"Your head bro!!" she shouted at his retreating figure which made him chuckle.Your head bro!!" she shouted at his retreating figure which made him chuckle.
