"Well, i thought you were angry with me." Oliver said.
"Sir, let us not sound personal. This is an office setting. Thanks sir. When should i resume?" She asked.
"Now." He said coldly, and Mia hung up.
"So? I think you've gotten the job, huh?" Mia stared at Reba and gave her a bone crushing hug.
"Thanks! Thank you so much Reba! I couldn't have got this job without you!!!" She cried out loud.
"Its the least i could do for my BFF." Reba winked.
"He said now....well i haven't been discharged. Maybe i should call him back?" Mia asked Reba.
"Yeah."
"I will have to wait for him. I don't call men back." Mia said and Reba rolled her eyes.
"Wow! I never knew you had such a big ego." She frowned.
"Thanks for exaggerating about my ego." Reba took the phone and called Oliver.
"Sorry sir, but she won't be able to resume now. She was in an accident, and needs to relax. Thank you sir." Reba hung up before he even spoke. He felt a bit bad that Becca's mum was in an accident. But he rested in his chair, sighed and finally began work.
The nurses pushed Reba out and she was so annoyed, she flung her phone at one of the nurses' face.
"Ma'am, that's rude in an hospital setting!"
"And don't you ever touch my butt, else I'll sue you!" She roared and left the hospital. On her way out, she saw Selene. She was wearing a skimpy black gown which didn't cover up her hips.
"Selene, why are you here?" She asked interrogatively and her face turned paper white.
"Well...uhm..uhm...well...i...i came to see you! R....Ruby, i mean Tara said you'd be coming today so...i...i came here to take...pick you up..." She stuttered.
"Look Selene, i have a car." Reba folded her arms.
"Am...am...i mean...uh.." Reba snatched the papers in her hands. They were pregnancy tests.
"These tests are positive! Selene!" She yelled.
"Well...uh...it...it...its my sister's!" She lied.
"But your name is boldly written!"
"Well, we are twins so we both bear Selene." She smiled.
"SHUT UP! HOW MUCH LIES WILL YOU TELL? I WILL NEVER BELIEVE YOU! WHY ARE YOU GIRLS HELL-BENT ON DESTROYING MY SISTER'S FUTURE? SHE'S IN HER EARLY 20's AND SHE'S NOT SO MATURE TO DEAL WITH THINGS! JUST GET OUT OF HER LIFE!" Reba thundered and Selene burst into tears.
"Am sorry ma'am...and ma'am...i don't know why you're doing this..."
"Well, i know why!" Ruby appeared behind them and Reba was even more shocked.
"You're pregnant too?"
"Reba, ever since you met Mia Salvatore, rather than focusing on your work you're always gossiping about us! How the hell does our personal life affect you?" Ruby insulted and Reba slapped her without a second thought. She pushed Ruby and left in her car.
"I can't believe Tara has been feeding Ruby and Selene some bad things about Mia?" Reba thought and phoned Tara as she drove.
"Hello darling sis..." Tara sounded jovial and happy.
"Tara! Are you completely crazy? No one else but you must have fed Ruby this shit about Mia influencing me negatively. Do i look like a kid that is easily influenced? Am in my late 30's already." Reba thundered over the phone.
"Wait Reba - who's Mia Salvatore?"
"DO YOU WANNA TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW MIA? SHE'S MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND! SHE RELOCATED WHEN WE WERE IN THIRD GRADE! BUT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, WE MET AGAIN AND WENT TO COLLEGE TOGETHER!"
"How am i supposed to know that when i was always indoors during childhood? I never even met our other siblings! I was fed with the fact that we were just two! Not knowing i was the last of seven girls! How would i even know anything about my family? When i was always in bed!"
"Was it my fault? Now is it up to the level of feeding your friend nonsense about my friend? Now listen, and get this into your freaking head, if in any way my friend, Mia Salvatore or her daughter Rebecca Salvatore gets affected by these things you're saying about her, then i will make sure your career is pulled down, and every netizen know who you truly are." Reba concluded and hung up. Tara threw her phone on the wall. The phone had just a scratch from the previous night, but now it broke completely.
"ARGH! MIA SALVATORE!!!!! When i know who you are, i will make sure you're dead! I promise!" Tara roared. She flew off her bed and started destroying things. Before she knew it, she threw her other phone at Milagrosa's arm.
"OUCH!"
"When did you come in?"
"Just now. Good morning. Where is Ruby and Selene?"
"CRAP! You're just waking up you're so crazy!"
"Why is everything destroyed?"
"ITS MIA SALVATORE! If you hear everything Reba told me today, you'd feel sorry! She was insulting Ruby, Selene and i" Tara cried.
"Mia! Mia! Mia! Who is this Mia? I'll make sure i slap her when i get her!"
"Reba said she has a daughter named Rebecca...."
...
"Did you see Rebecca this morning?" Mia asked Reba on the phone.
"Yeah. I woke her up today and got her ready for school."
"But the school just called me now, saying its break and they haven't gotten her."
"What? That's crap. I took her to the school myself, even before coming to the hospital."
"You didn't say anything about Becca when you came."
"I can't believe the school said that."
Mia looked right and left with her handbag, before running out of the ward.
"MISS MIA! MISS MIA! GET HER!" The nurses ran after her. She was in the hospital gown and her hair was all messy. She ran across the road to Becca's school. She saw Reba with the other teachers, panicking. She saw Miss Li Jing there, her face all pale like she had seen a ghost.
"Miss Mia! I think your daughter is lost or something!" Miss Li Jing yelled and blood drained out of Mia's body.
"It can't be!" She fell to the ground.
"I think we need to file a police complaint..." The principal was also panicking.
"It can't be! My Becca is...." Mia took out her phone from her handbag and called Liam.
"Liam! You monster! Vulgar maggot! You kidnapped my Becca! What the hell do you need? I'll give it to you, but i need my girl!" Liam chuckled before hanging up. Everyone screamed on hearing his chuckle. Mia screamed her lungs out and fainted.
