Bianca visited Kingsley as Dickson has pleaded and the state she found him, broke her heart.
Sir?? She called him calmly placing her hands on his face that was still dripping tears slowly.
What is wrong with you? She asked but he didn't say a word he was only looking at her.
She touched his head and he was burning up.
She was about going to grab a towel but he held her hands.
She turned slowly and sat beside him with her hands still in his.
Are you okay? She asked softly as she watched him closely with his eyes closed before opening them gradually.
Can you please stay with me just like this for the night? Please" He pleaded calmly.
But sir, I have to be at the office tomorrow" She said after looking at him closely.
"You can take tomorrow off and Mandy will handle everything," He said with pleading eyes.
Bianca was surprised and not still used to seeing him in his helpless state. She couldn't resist his plead and just nodded her head.
"Thank you," He said calmly.
"Alright. Let me get a towel and cold water, you're burning up" She said and he nodded.
She got the towel and water and begin to massage his face and head. In no time, he fell asleep.
Bianca spent the night looking after him, holding his warm hands.
***
The following morning,
Irys, as usual, barged into the office and head straight to Kingsley's office but she stopped by Mandy.
"Good morning Ma'am" but she ignored her.
"Ma'am, My boss isn't at the office," She said and this made her halt.
Where is he? She asked rudely.
"He won't be coming to the office today, I guess he should be at home," Mandy said but she gave a disdain look and left.
...
"Good morning sir" Bianca greeted Kingsley after placing a cup of hot coffee and toasted bread on the table adjacent to his bed.
Good morning, Bianca.
How are you feeling today? She asked sitting on the couch facing him.
I feel better.
"That's good to hear. Please have your breakfast" she said.
Bianca?? He called.
Sir,
"Thank you for being there when you don't even have to," He said.
"Oh no, Sir you don't have to thank me," She said
"Nah, I should" he smiled.
Thank you and please, it's just Kingsley when you're in my house. Save the sir for the office, please" he said softly.
"Okay," She said not understanding why he said that.
Thank you. So, have you had breakfast too? He asked.
Yes. Thank you.
Alright.
They were still talking when they had Irys voice downstairs and in no time, she was already in his bedroom.
"Baby," she said as she opened the door but paused the moment he saw him and Bianca smiling like a long-time friend.
What's going on here? She asked but none of them said a word but kept looking at her like a lunatic displaying her madness.
Baby? She called moving closer to them but still no response.
"You" She pointed at Bianca.
Why are you here? She asked.
I...
"She has been here taking care of me" Kingsley Interrupted Bianca.
What? Baby? She asked looking at her with disgust.
"Okay fine, thank you for taking care of my man. Now, get out of my man's bedroom this minute" She commanded.
"Bianca was about to get up when Kingsley stopped her" You go nowhere Bianca," he said coldly.
What? Irys was shocked.
Kingsley stood up from his bed and walked closer to his window peeping outside like there is something he was hoping to get a glimpse of.
"You know you have some nerves, Irys," He said calmly.
"Baby, please I can explain," she said trying to go closer to him but stopped her" Don't," he said with his left hand raised to the air.
You have the nerves to show your dirty self to me after the disgustful and ridiculous act you've carried out? How dare you? He gave a glaring look that could murder.
"Baby I promise is not what you think. He tried forcing himself on me I swear to you" she lied.
"Does it look like I care? You have been sleeping with my brother and you think I will never find out? Well, I guess luck isn't on your side anymore" he said.
All this while Bianca's mouth was slightly open out of shock.
"Dickson seduced me I swear" she lied and cried like a child.
"Irys, get your stinky and shameless self out of my house this minute, else I will do something you will regret" He threatened.
"Kingsley, you can't do this. You can't possibly do this to me especially not in the presence of this thing right here" She said eyeing Bianca but Kingsley did what surprised her.
Don't you ever in your entire life call her names again? Do you hear me? he yelled at her.
Why? Do you think she can replace me? She asked proudly.
He scoffed" She's what you can never be, Irys. She isn't a materialistic whore like you and now when you're done ranting, get yourself out of my house.
Kingsley...
"I said get out" He yelled and she left without looking back.
Bianca who everything seems like she was watching a movie, looked at him without a word.
He noticed and moved closer to her. He bent over and held her hands.
Bianca??
Sir?
Can we be friends? He asked softly and Bianca looked at him like she was hit from behind.
