Bianca and Mandy still live in Kingsley's mansion due to the fear of what might happen next.
Kingsley was trying to pack up for the trip but at the same time, his thoughts were occupied with that of Bianca. He picked up his phone and dialed her number.
...
So what do you intend to do with Mr. Kingsley? Mandy was laying on Bianca's bed while she watch her dry her hair after bathing but Bianca didn't say a word and kept on doing what she was doing.
Babe????
"Mandy I don't know" She dropped the towel she was drying her hair with and faced her friend.
I don't know.
What do you mean by you don't know? Can't you tell how you truly feel? Mandy asked.
Bianca moved to her and sat close to her on the bed.
Mandy, you know this is not right.
And what exactly is not the right girlfriend? Mandy asked.
"All of this" she used her hands in summing up.
How do I reciprocate this type of feelings he has for me? He's my boss for crying out loud and he has a fiancee. Don't you get it? Bianca said trying not to scream.
Mandy smiled and sat up looking at her straight in the eyes.
I don't get it, Bianca. This man says he loves you and I'm certain what he feels for you is true because he was the shadow of himself when you were missing and instead of you giving in, you're worried about Irys? Someone, it's obvious he no longer feels for? Mandy said.
Mandy, how sure are you that his feelings are genuine?
Then find out. There is no harm in trying.
Oh please. I almost lost my life because of the speculations that Irys had. Do you want me dead for real this time? Huh? Bianca said.
Mandy sighed before holding her hands.
"Babe listens to me," she said calmly.
Do you love him? Do you feel anything for him? Mandy asked.
"I don't know," Bianca said.
"But you kissed him first that night. I know you too well, you wouldn't do that if you don't feel something for him" Mandy said.
I did that because I needed to calm him down then and it worked. So why can't he just sort things out with his Fiancee or better still, go for someone else?
Babe....
"Mandy, I've been through a lot already and you know my story better than anyone. I almost lost my sanity the last time I was in love with someone, you know this and now you want me to go through that procedure all over again? No way" She said bitterly.
I know and I won't force you but I just want you to think this through and...
I have. I'm his staff and that's what it will remain. I don't want to die now. It's enough that I had to go through all those pain for the offense I didn't commit.
"Okay, babe. Whatever you say as long as it makes you happy" Mandy said.
Yeah and....(Phone buzzing)
"Your phone" Mandy pointed at Bianca's phone.
"Yeah" She stood up to grab her phone and when she saw the caller, she looked at Mandy.
Who is that? She asked
"Kingsley" She replied
Pick up then
📞Hello
📞Hey Bianca, hope I didn't wake you up.
📞No you didn't.
📞Alright. Please I need your help with something. Can...you..come over for a minute? He asked.
📞"O..okay" she agreed with reluctance.
*Call ended*
"I'll be right back," She said and left even before mandy could say a word.
*Knock at the door*
*Door opens*
"Come in," He said and she did.
Sorry for disturbing your night.
It's fine. What do you need my help with? She asked.
I needed your help in packing up a few things for the trip. Do you mind? He asked softly.
"It's fine. I'll do that right away" She said
Thank you.
"Mhmm" she nodded.
He picked out a small traveling box and gave it to her and she began to pack up making choices for him while he just sat on his bed and watch her do it. He was busy staring at her that he was Lost in thought. Bianca was wearing sexy and transparent nightwear.
"God, I want to just get hold of this sexy body, cuddle, fondle and feel every bit of her, oh damn" These were thoughts going on in his head.
"I'm done," She said and he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Oh, thank you," he said...
"You're welcome. I'll have to go to bed now to wake up early tomorrow for our trip" She said.
Okay.
"Goodnight," she said.
"Goodnight," he said.
....
The following morning, by the time Kingsley was done dressing up and went downstairs, Bianca was already waiting for him downstairs with her bags.
You're ready?? He asked
"Yes, sir. Good morning" she said
"Good morning" he replied after taking enough time to admire her from head to toe. She was wearing a fitted red office gown that complemented her hot irresistible curves with a pair of black heels and her hair loosed to move freely on her shoulder.
You've had breakfast? He asked.
"Yes. I've had a cup of hot coffee and I'll make yours now" she said.
"No, don't bother. I will have something later" he said.
Okay.
"Let's go," he said and they both left to the garage, while the driver moved their bags to the boot and drive out of the mansion instantly.
On their way, they got stuck in the traffic and Bianca became restless.
Is everything okay? Kingsley asked.
I think we might miss our flight. The traffic is crazy" she said and Kingsley smiled.
"Don't worry. I got this" he said and went back to looking at his iPad.
They arrived at the airport 30 minutes later, and the driver led them through a private entrance and this left Bianca worried.
Where are we going? Bianca asked but Kingsley didn't say a word until they arrived at where his jet was.
Kingsley led the way and was ushered in by the flight attendant.
You're welcome, Mr. Kingsley.
Thank you.
Bianca followed suit. It was then it dawned on her that, they just boarded his private jet and she couldn't help but admire the interior.
The moment, the plane took off, the flight attendant came over to ask them what they would like to have.
Sir, what would you like to have?
A cup of cappuccino, please.
Okay, sir.
"And ask the young lady too," he said
Ma'am, what would you like to have? She asked politely.
"Same please" Bianca responded and in no time they were served.
I see someone has a lot to ask right? Kingsley finally broke the silence after a couple of minutes.
"Well, I don't have much to ask because I think I already know the answers to the question I wanted to ask," she said.
"Okay, if you say so" he smiled.
They both enjoyed their peace and practically spent the 15hours journey minding their business. They shared different rooms on the jet for the night.
They lodged in the hotel the moment they arrived in china. They had the VIP suite to themselves.
Bianca was, by all means, avoiding any discussion not related to work.
That night before going to bed, they discussed some vital things that need to be noted.
....
On the D-Day
Bianca came out of her room looking sweet and gorgeous in blue pants and white long sleeves, her hair parked in a ponytail with light make-up that compliments her face.
Are you ready? He asked because he have been waiting up for her.
Yes sir.
Good.
Let's go.
They left the hotel and rode in the Lamborghini to the cheng's group company.
On their way, Bianca saw the other side of Kingsley. He was nervous. His palms were sweaty. He was trying so much to stay calm but it was obvious he couldn't but she didn't say a word.
They arrived at the cheng's company and head straight to the conference room.
The conference room was already filled with all the CEOs and their representatives waiting for Jaskier Cheng himself.
A few minutes later, the door clinches and everyone stood up at the site of the elderly man in his late fifties as he entered.
He made them sit before speaking.
Good morning Ladies and gentlemen. You're welcome to this bidding and all I can say is that I'm happy to see different heads from different countries who are here today. As we all know, this contract Is only going to be awarded to the company with the best reputation, excellent background history, and of course the best presentation." He said
I would have also loved for everyone to introduce themselves but it seems we are all familiar with each other already except for one person.
So, before we start our presentation for each company, I would give room to the young lady that's sitting next to Mr. Kingsley Douglas to introduce herself. I'm sure she's here with one of the successful young men I've known so far" he smiled and Kingsley bowed his head to signify respect.
"Thank you, sir"
Mr. Jaskier Cheng waved his hands for her to continue.
Good morning everyone, my name is Bianca Boris, Mr. Kingsley's Executive assistant.
You're welcome, miss Bianca.
So, let the submission of the presentation by each representative start.
What presentation are they talking about? Kingsley asked Bianca quietly to avoid others from hearing.
"I don't know either" she replied
Her phone suddenly beeped and she had to excuse herself to use the restroom because of the message she just received.
Where the fuck do you think you're going? Kingsley asked her angrily in a way no one could hear them except her.
"Boss I don't know about this, so find a way to fix this. I need to use the restroom briefly" she said and left for the restroom with her bag.
Everyone started submitting and Kingsley for the first time in his entire life seems helpless.
Everyone submitted and Kingsley had nothing to submit because that wasn't included in the criteria needed in the mail that was sent to him.
All eyes were now on him, especially Mr. Jaskier Chengs.
TBC...
This is crazy.
What do you think will happen now??
What will dey do now?
