Chapter 38 - I have many.

"No… Not to wash you. What I mean I came to clean your body. Sorry! My tongue slipped." Bella apologized as she realized what she said a while ago. To tell the truth, her body and mind were aching. She was exhausted right now. If it wasn't for her work she wouldn't stay there even for a second.

Zoe freezed and looked to Bella with wide open eyes. 'Did she just apologize? My goodness! Bella! Little devil? She realized her mistake? Wow.'  

"Boss has behested to take care of you. He allowed only me to get close to you. It was my responsibility." 

Zoe took a deep breath. There would be no gain to get irate. Moreover, Bella was a blockhead and she knew it very well. Something, she threw out the words from her mouth like a harebrained person. Also, She didn't even consider herself to invest some energy to understand what the meaning and effects her words had. What's more, she never apologized.

That's why, Zoe had made up her mind that she would not let Bella go easily this time. But How could she go tough over her when she was like this? With no spirit. Over and above that, she expressed regret. 

Though she didn't want to say it, still she forced herself to spit it out. After all, it would be rude if didn't show her gratitude. "Thank you."

"You have awake now. So do you still want my help?"

"It's ok. I will take a bath later. It has been a while, I need to clean myself properly. It would be better if I do it by myself. "

"Okay"

"Well, I have to say you did  the admirable work. A while ago, I was wondering why I'm not smelling."

Bella was staring at her without making any response. 

"My sweat smells stinky. Haha" She raised her hand and put it on the back side of her head. While giving a silly laugh, she commented.

Bella blinked several times then a wide smile broke from her mouth. 

Zoe grinned like a cheshire cat. 'See, little devil I can make you smile. Heh' She praised herself in her mind. 

However a moment later, When she learned what she was doing. She yelled herself in her mind. 'Wait! Why am I running my as* to her comfy? Have you gone mad Zoe? You idiot, focus on your vengeance. Don't fall for her innocent face.' 

"Bella, Do you have a boyfriend?" For accomplishing an ambitious goal she bravely took a first step.

"Yeah. I have." She straightforwardly answered.

Zoe's jar dropped. 'What the fu**. She has a boyfriend. This is really hard to swallow, with her character I wonder who has the heart of stone. Well, well I can say, she isn't lying. Let's not waste the energy to think  and directly ask who has the guts to date this little devil.'

"Really! Who is that lucky person." She inquired in a very soft tone. 

However, Bella turned silent.

"I'm sorry. I was asking about personal life, I shouldn't have asked" She had to be gentle because She didn't want to give a reason to Bella to get suspicious over her. 

"It was brother John. No need for sorry. It's not something I should hide."

'John? Didn't he like Alicia? When he becomes her boyfriend. Wait a minute don't tell she was thinking...' Zoe pushed her thoughts and immediately put a question. "Bella, is Alicia your girlfriend?" 

"Yeah."

After getting an expected answer Zoe slapped her head. Somehow, she started to understand how her brain was working. "If I was your friend, would it mean I also count as your girlfriend?"

"Isn't it obvious? You are a girl and you are my friends." Bella looked at Zoe doubtfully when she hit her hand to head. She didn't get it.

Dumbfounded, Zoe was staring at her as well. Bella expressions were demonstrable. It was as if she was talking about the ultimate truth of human life. 

Zoe:- "_" 

'She is a person from another planet'

"Do you want to be my friend?" Bella stated while her bashful eyes were looking down at feets.

Nothing came out from Zoe's mouth. A second ago she was looking at her like a furious small animal and all of sudden, she was behaving like a cute puppy. Honestly, she was unpredictable.  Her words, her way to see the world, everything was beyond the comprehension of a normal human being. 

Bella came close to Zoe and grabbed her hand. "Sister Zoe, I also want to be your friend." She exclaimed while her face was red as a tomato.

Zoe observed her puppy eyes and red face. At this instant, all she wanted to say that Bella was looking too adorable. If only she was less annoying then she would think to decline her plan of revenge. Still she couldn't go back now she needed to make a next move.

"Okay"  She agreed because wanted to be close to her target. 

Bella beamed.

Though Zoe felt a little guilty. But she made her understand that she had to do this. After all, this world needed to be saved. 

"Now that we are friends so we can ask anything from each other right."

"If we are friends that means we can ask anything from each other?" Bella repeated.

Zoe was in a dilemma, she was unable to discern what was her real intention. Whether she was innocent or playing with her. " Yeah, Infact, you have to share. "

"Really?" Though Zoe replied with haughtiness, she didn't get ticked off by it because she was too curious to learn some new stuff.

Zoe assumed it was odd but she continued. "Yeah! Tell me, How many friends do you have?"

"You and brother John and you." She truthfully answered.

"I have many." 

"Oh"
