The Rich Man's Daughter
Sidewalk
Episode 4
"Just please Becky, I need to see her urgently" I pleaded the hundredth time
"I told you she isn't here" She stood firmly at the door.
No matter how hard I tried to peep in, I couldn't see anything.
"Just once please, Bec"
"She clearly mentioned your name, Am sure she had no other place to stay expect from here" I added
"Why would I lie? I told you she isn't here! She yelled this time
"Then where can she be? She had no other friend except from you! I yelled back causing an awkward moment between us.
"H-how will I know? She stuttered staring sideways.
She was obviously trying to cover up something.
"Fine! Why don't you allow me to enter and find out by myself?
"I can't allow a stranger into my house " she rested her back on the wooden door frame.
"S-stranger? Seriously? Am your best friend husband for God's sake Bec" I rants
"Ex-husband" She corrected
"Seriously? I scoffed
"Should I just give you an advice George? Run away from her" She sounded serious
"I don't care, just let me in" I ruffled into the air.
"You can't-
Before she could say anything, I barged into the house.
Taking a quick glance around the whole house, Everywhere seems empty.
She wasn't lying.
"I told you she isn't here" she swayed in her hips behind me.
"Then where is she? I turned to her face.
"She went out" she sat on the nearest coach.
"When is-
"I don't know when she will be returning" she cut me off before I could ask any other thing.
"I will wait right here for her" I sat on the next chair closer to me.
"Hello Mister, I can't allow you to sit right there and wait for her in my own house!
"Are you telling me to wait outside? I forced the words out of my mouth.
"Obviously, I can't continue to keep ranting with you, Am a public figure remember? She folded her arms and rested her back.
"I will just stay outside" I mumbled heading for the door exit.
"Fine. Just stay here, It cold outside" she muttered staring sideways obviously avoiding my gaze.
I drag my feet back to my seat.
For minutes, we never bother to say a thing.
I could sense the smell of grilled chicken, My stomach grumbled aloud as the delicious smell sank deeply into my nostril.
I never had anything since morning.
Gosh, I shouldn't think of that right now, I should only focus on getting Cynthia back.
"You never had anything today, do you? She raised up her eyelid at me and scoffed.
"Can I perhaps get some fruit? I drew in my lower lips.
"I can't just believe you" she shook her head before getting on her feet obviously heading for the kitchen.
Within a blink of an eyes, She was back.
"You should at least have this" she dropped the tray right in front of me.
She served a full grilled chicken and a glass of juice. I gulped down my empty throat staring at the great piece of artwork.
"Thanks" I mumbled grabbing the fork.
"You never expect me to give you that for free do you? She smirked.
"A-am I paying for this? I stuttered.
I had nothing on me.
"Should I just take it back? She get hold of the tray
I jerked off her hand lightly.
"Am waiting for my pay" she stretched out her tiny arm.
"Can I just pay back later" I shorten my gaze
"I can't believe you are just an empty vessel just as Cynthia described" she sighed inwardly dumping herself on the coach.
"Did Cynthia talk about me? I dropped the knife.
"Never mind" she relaxed her arms staring really weird at me.
I found it quite uncomfortable.
"You should go on" she gestured with a smile.
"You should at least stop staring " I sneered.
She chuckled lightly.
"Seeing you made me believe I didn't made a bad choice" she started.
"What do you mean by that? I stared deeply at the depth of her eyes.
She didn't change much after Highschool, She only got more prettier.
That would definitely be because of her comfortable life.
"You change quite a lot George Adams" she muttered out my full name.
It been long someone called me that.
"Your pretty face turned really worst" she squeezed her face with gesture.
"Are you trying to make fun of me? I scoffed dropping down the cutlery.
"Nope, I should really thank Celine " She grabbed the glass of juice.
"I had always resent Celine for taking you away from me George, I didn't know the goodess was trying to rescue me from the fiercy pit, What state would I have been like this? She grinned.
"You love me? I battled with my eyelashes.
"Who won't fall for the Mighty George back then? She gave a snorting chuckle.
"Did my life turned out really worst? I chuckled back.
"You should ask that from your Wife Cynthia not me George" She hummed taking a sip from my glass and dropped it back.
"I never got the chance to ask her that" I played with the glass.
She muttered some inaudible words, I wonder what the hell she was saying.
"Hey girlie" The door open widely interrupting the tense atmosphere.
It was Cynthia , She is back.
There was a sudden pause in her moment, I guess she noticed me.
"What are you doing here George? She dropped her bag.
"How do you know I was here and why do you allow him in Bec? She turned to her face within a seconds.
"I bet I had no other choice" Becky shrugged lightly and simpered.
"What do you want? She turned back to me.
"You should come back home Cynthia" I muttered without a second thought.
"You seriously want me to come back to that rotten house George? She scoffed.
"I think I should excuse you guys" Becky cleared her throat.
"You should stay right there and watch Becky! She yelped making me shrunk on the same spot.
She ran her hand into her hair in frustration.
Even In few hours she changed quite A lot. Her skin, Her cloth, Her hair, Everything instantly changed.
I sighted a weird ring on her finger, She never had that before she left.
"What's that ring? I moved closer to her
"What's going on Babe? A man suddenly walked in interrupting the scene before she could open her mouth.
His appearance reeks of money. His eyes were quite sharp as it scanned through the whole room and finally landed on me
"Nothing babe, Just having some rough conservation" Cynthia responded in her meek voice.
"Who is he? He never bother to move his gaze from me.
"Mm- just someone I know" she forced a smile.
"Cynthia, Are you denying me? My voice definitely failed me again.
"I think you should leave now George" Becky butted in.
"Who is he Cynthia? I finally summoned some courage.
"Am her boyfriend, Do you have a problem with that?
"Now get lost, Mister! That was Cynthia last words to me.
"Out!
