Chereads / THE DOUGLAS'S / Chapter 6 - She's My Best Friend

Chapter 6 - She's My Best Friend

Why were you there? Kingsley asked immediately after Mandy bumped into him.

"Sir....sir your brother asked to see me" she stammer.

I know, to discuss what? He asked with his hands folded at the doorway.

He wants to meet my friend that came to visit the other day.

"I knew it" Kingsley coursed beneath his breath.

Sir?

Why did he want to see her? he asked?

"Well, he said because he wants to fuck her" She used his exact word.

"Kingsley tapped his head in frustration.

You can go back to your office" he commanded.

"Thank you, sir," she said and walked away while Kingsley barged into his brother's office.

"Hey, big brother," Dickson said nonchalantly but Kingsley didn't say a word as he stands at an Akimbo.

What is the problem, brother? He asked calmly.

Dickson, you are my problem. You have been my problem. What in God's name is wrong with you? He asked angrily.

Slow down, brother. What have I done this time? He asked

What do you always do?? 

What you've done is give your stupid instructions to my secretary. Do you think everyone is an object you should mess with? Huh? Kingsley yelled at him regardless of being at the office.

"Ohh bro" Dickson laughed 

You're getting worked up unnecessarily.

Really? He asked with his hands on his desk staring daggers at him.

Yes. I mean all I did was request her friend's contact...

And??? Kingsley interrupted him.

Dickson became quiet because he could sense anger brewing up from his brother.

Listen to me Dickson, you decide to remain a fuckboy and probably render yourself useless but please don't drag my secretary into your mess. Do you hear me? He stamped his hand on his desk. "Jesus" Kingsley coursed and left angrily.

Dickson couldn't say a word as he kept watching his brother disappear from his office.

Crystal, his secretary that overheard them talking, was happy that Kingsley was talking sense into his brother. 

She has eventually gotten tired of his lifestyle and she knows it might get to her turn someday but she's waiting patiently for him to try that tho. That will be the end of her service with him" she tells herself.

.....

Immediately he got into his office, he called for Mandy.

Sir?

"Yes Mandy, have a seat" He instructed and she reluctantly did.

What's your friend's name? he asked.

"Bianca" She replied.

"Mhmm," He nodded.

Why was she here the other day and don't dare lie to me?

"I know she didn't come here to pick anything besides she wasn't looking like she was here leisurely the other day," Kingsley said and this surprised her because she never saw that coming.

"She went for a job interview and she was rejected like all the previous ones. I had to make her come around because I was scared she might do something crazy" She explained.

Why would she do something crazy? He asked 

"She has been to several interviews after she got sacked by her former boss because she had refused to have an affair with him, but the rejection kept pilling up and it was getting to her" She explained honestly.

I see.

How close are you two? He asked leaning on his chair.

"She's my best friend. We've known each other for years and we also live together" she said.

Okay.

What's her qualification? 

"She has a degree in office management," She said.

Okay. 

"Tell her to see me on Monday," he said with all seriousness.

Sir!!!! 

Is something suddenly wrong with your sense of hearing? He asked staring at her.

No sir.

"Good. So I don't think there is a need for repeating myself" he said.

Alright, sir. Thank you.

"You can leave," he said.

Just as she was approaching the door he halted her with his words.." About Dickson, don't tell her a thing" he said with a commanding tone.

"Understood sir," she said and left the office for hers.

She was so happy when she left his office that she couldn't wait to share the good news with Bianca.

***

"Hey, babe," Mandy said the moment she stepped inside and saw Bianca laying on the couch in the living room.

Hey babes, how was work today? She asked 

"Stressful as always but something unexpectedly pleasant happened today," She said sitting next to Bianca and she immediately stood up to hear the gist.

What happened? Bianca asked.

"My boss wants to see you," Mandy said caressing Bianca's hair.

"Wait hold on" Bianca sat properly to look at her.

Which of your boss? The rude and Arrogant one or the Arrogant and sex God? And why will any of your bosses even want to see me?" Bianca asked angrily and surprised at the same time.

"Okay slow down girl," Mandy said.

Okay. I'm calm.

"Good. My boss, The CEO asked about you today because he wasn't convinced with the lies I told him the other day of you coming to pick something, you know how smart he is" Mandy said.

Uhmm?

So, I told him the truth about your failed interviews and all and he asked about your qualification, of which I told him and the next he said was, in his words "Tell your friend to see me on Monday".

"This is unbelievable," Bianca said.

I was shocked myself. I didn't see it coming too.

Mandy, what if he wants to make me an offer of sleeping with me or turning me into his sex mate, you know how those rich spoilt kids are....

"Bianca, this is Kingsley Douglas and not Dickson Douglas" Mandy interrupted her.

What's their difference? She asked.

Kingsley has never brought any other girl to the office except his lousy and good-for-nothing fiancee since I started working with him but still let's keep our fingers crossed till Monday, Okay? Mandy said.

Hmmm

"Cmon going to see him won't hurt. Let's just see what his plan is" Mandy said 

"Okay. I've heard you" Bianca reluctantly said.

Good girl. Now I need to freshen up and eat. I'm sure you've made dinner" she winked at her.

"Yeah sure" Bianca smiled 

Alright.
