Ricardo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What the heck bro, you of all people should know i don't have a girlfriend" he said still laughing.
"It's not funny" collins glared at him.
"Yeah yeah I know, it sounds funny coming from you, it might be one of those p***sy, I strictly warned them never to step foot here, I don't know where she got the ordersity from, don't worry I'll take of it" Ricardo said nonchalantly.
Collins stared at him for a while, should he believe this devil in front of him, cause he never seizes to amaze him.
"What stop staring at me like that, come on I don't have a reason to, meanwhile you know I can't" he said sighing, having a girlfriend is the least he can do now, who knows he might regret it afterwards, so he plays his cards well.
"Fine,fine I have heard you for now. Have you checked the mail I sent to you" Collins said moving closer to him.
"Yeah I was about to, when you barged in calling me jerk" Ricardo said chuckling.
Collins rolled his eyes at him.
"It's almost past lunch break, pause your work let's go grab something" Collins said checking his time.
"Why do you like wasting time, there's a kitchen over there why don't you make yourself something" Ricardo said not taking his eyes from the laptop he was working on.
Collins suddenly closed the laptop and said holding his chest dramatically "why do you always do this, hurting me in anyway you can".
"Eww bro stop being annoying that's gross" Ricardo said glaring at him.
" I'll continue being annoying until you accept me" Collins said dramatically again.
"Fine let's go" Ricardo said through gritted teeth.
Collins wanted to hug me but a glare from Ricardo sent him back, he chuckled and ran out.
"Such an annoying brat" Ricardo muttered also going out.
***********
"I didn't get to see him Larisa" Riana pouted sadly. "Oh my baby, come here Larisa said pulling Riana closer to her.
"You can just check him"
"No" Riana cut her, "you don't understand me, I want to feel him, I want to be in his arms".
"My baby I do, it's just you've to get rid of your obsession before it's too late, have you ever thought, what if azels vessel stops working for you how would you cope with that" Larisa said worriedly.
"La..risa" Riana called her voice broken.
"Shh let me talk, think about it Riana, what if he's not the kind of person you think he is, you and I know a human and a".... she couldn't finish her statement when a knock came in.
"Yes who's there".
"It's the queen" the guard announced.
"Mother" Riana quickly stood up with Larisa.
"My daughter, sit" the queen said and they both sat down. "I was wondering why you didn't come out of your chambers today, I was told you were with your friend all day".
"Yes mother, I just decided to stay indoor today with larisa here, it's quite fun staying indoor Riana said.
"Oh, that's good I just came to check on you" the queen said rubbing her hair with care.
"Thank you mother"Riana said appreciating.
"Do you need anything" the queen asked still rubbing Riana's hair lovingly.
Riana thought for a while, but shook her head.
"Are you sure"? The queen asked to confirm.
"Yes mother, am good I have larisa here" Riana said assuring.
"Ok, what about you larisa dear" the queen turned and asked her.
"Am fine my queen" she replied with a smile.
"Alright I'll take my leave" the queen said and stood up, Larisa and Riana also stood up and bowed, then she left.
Raina sat down back sighing, "I was about to ask if I can live with a human".
"Don't ever mention that to the queen, it would only put you in trouble, you might get grounded, don't worry I gat you for life baby, everything will be fine. Larisa said hugging her friend.
Few weeks later.
"Am here" Riana said, the lady looked up and was surprised.
" Huh ma'am it's you".
"Yes it's me" Riana said smiling.
"Ok let me make a call" alright sir, yes sir, the lady said and ended the call.
"This way ma'am, I'll take you there" Riana was so much happy, finally she was going to see her Ricardo.
"Who was that"? Collins asked,
"Umm my so called girlfriend again" Ricardo said his eyes focused on his work.
"Ohh, I thought you said you were going to take care of it".
"Yeah I was supposed to, but this past few weeks you know we've been busy, so I don't have time for chicks" he said flipping through the document in his hand.
Meanwhile at the hallway, Riana is seen walking with the receptionist, she caused an uproar again.
👤 "Holy Christ, is she an angel" someone said shocked, he has never in his life seen such a beauty.
👥 "Gawd, did she drop down from heaven" another one said.
"I heard she's the boss girlfriend".
"What"!!!
"Yeah, our boss is so lucky but am wondering why isn't she putting on any footwear" another said curiously.
They finally got to Ricardo's office, the lady was about to knock, when Riana stopped her and asks.
"Do you umm".... a name.
"Huh me" the lady said pointing to herself. Raina nodded.
"Ohh, yes my name is Mae".
"Pretty name" Riana complimented.
"Oh goodness, you made me blush again" mae said and knock on the door.
"Yes come in" someone said from the inside.
"You can go in ma'am, see you later"Mae said and left afterwards.
Raina looked at the door for a while, she was about to touch the door knob, when someone from inside did.
Collins was wondering why the person outside hadn't come inside since he said come in, he looked at the nonchalant Ricardo in front of him and thought.
No this devil must be playing prank on him, no not this time, he must see her this time around.
He stood up and went to door, opened it and he gasped out loud.
"Holy mary mother of jezebel"!!!
