Ch. 126..130: The Wife I Never Met chapter 126-130
Chapter 126
Ciara also knew that her PA was correct , and had every right to worry, but she just couldn’t get herself to tell him everything about what Boity has been up to all this while. So she could only nod her head and afirm him.
” Don’t worry PA, now that I am aware of how vicious she can get, I’ll make sure to safe guard myself and your great grand daughter. How about that?”
The old man smiled and looked at her one more time before saying,
” You better keep your word, I don’t want history to repeat itself. Wilson is already gone, but now we are faced with another one like him and your parents ain’t aware of what she is capable of, so for now you only have your husband and your own wisdom and vigilance to protect you.”
” You do know that stressing isn’t good for your health right? You don’t need to worry, really. Liam is more than capable of making sure that we are safe.”
The old man nodded as he knew that she was indeed correct.
They then changed the topic before anyone could listen in to their conversation, they now shared all the memories from when Ciara was young and her grandmother was still alive. Although it was a very touchy sensitive topic for the old man, he found enjoyment in reminiscing those joyful moments about his late wife with his favorite granddaughter.
It was only later when Liam came out to greet the old man that Ciara remembered she had left her husband alone with the enemy in the house.
Liam respectfully greeted the old man ,and then told them that food was about to be ready and everyone was already waiting for them inside.
So Ciara stood up and went inside to help out with the dishes .
As she had insisted on helping them , Hillary finally relented and tasked hee to transfer the food in to serving dishes.
” But be careful not to burn yourself, I know pregnant women tend to be very clumsy at times.”
She then started taking all the ready to serve dishes to the dinning room where everyone will be enjoying their meal.
“I see you finally found yourself a man, but how long do you think he will stay faithful for. Maybe I can take him from you as well.”
Boity commented with pride, in attempts to stir Ciara’s mood, since she wasn’t able to witness her angry side when the video was released and was surely not going to anytime soon.
” Sadly he isn’t in to your kind, so I highly doubt that even if he decides to leave me ,he’d go to someone like you.”
Without revealing any of her emotions and disgust Ciara responded to her lightly as she continued to transfer the food.
As light as her voice was, her words pierced deeply in Boity’s heart and her anger immediately rose to the sky, all of her mask was completely lifted off.
” Ciara Williams, what do you mean by my kind, what type am I ? Are you looking down on me?”
“Well a low grade woman who gets ahead by destroying other people’s lives, or should I say a woman who loves unavailable men with no moral conduct.”
At that time Boity’s anger was beyond describable as she immediately got hold of a kitchen knife and pointed it at Ciara.
” I dare you say it again, say it!!”
” Why? You don’t like what I said Boity?
She asked as she raised her head to face Boity only to see her holding a big kitchen knife and advancing towards her direction, it was only then that she understood the danger she was in, hence she too moved back step by step.
” How is it going in there, are you guys done?”
Hillary’s voice was heard coming from the other side of the house followed by footsteps approaching the kitchen.
” Almost done Auntie, “
Boity answered as she backed away from Ciara in time for Hillary not to realize what was about to happen.
Just when Hillary was about to enter the kitchen , Liam’s voice was also heard not too far from the kitchen.
“Is she alone there with my wife?”
” Yah of course who else could be in there? “
When he heard that Liam rushed in to check on his wife, immediately when he go to her , he noticed that she wasn’t being herself which meant something must have happened.
” Hey are you okay?”
He turned her around to check if Boity did something, but when she was being turned around Ciara came back to reality and regained her composure.
” I am okay, nothing happened and no need to worry.”
When Hillary saw this she smiled thinking it was young love, Liam couldn’t be away from his wife for a long time and if that happened he’d worry just like how it was just now.
” My God , yes you are sweet right now but this is a kitchen and we need to work , get out already.”
She pushed them out and got Boity to help her bring out the dishes to the table.
By the time they got to the dinning room old man Williams and her father was already sitting in the table waiting for food to be served, Ciara didn’t know how to react when she saw them but she mastered her courage and greeted her father.
” Dad”
She said politely while bowing a little to show her respect for the elder.
This act of hers caused the man to be embarrassed, despite the treatment he had been giving his daughter, she was still as respectful as ever.
He stood up with a smile on his face as he opened his arms to welcome her.
” Ciara my child”
They both hugged each other for the first time in ages, he then looked straight in to her eyes with sadness.
” Dad is sorry my child, I’m sorry.”
” It’s okay dad, let’s talk about it after the meal, okay?”
When her father noticed the other people standing at the door with serving dishes in their hands , he understood that it was not the time to talk about everything that was going on.
There surely will be time after their meal.
The food was served and they all quietly ate their food without saying a word.
All this time Boity’s eyes never left the couple as they played lovey dovey in front of her, with Liam picking out food for Ciara to try. Their affection on its own irked her to core as it reminded her what she could’ve been having if only Ciara did not ruin her relationship with Dexter.
After their meal they cleared out the dishes and Ciara was left in the room with the three men .
” I’m sorry that you didn’t find me here when you arrived, if I had known I would’ve came back home earlier.”
” It’s not a big deal, we actually needed to solve something that affected Ciara this side, so we thought we can just come in a little early and not to mention that Ciara hasn’t been here for many years.”
Liam answered as he also hinted that there was something else that bothered their daughter and was the reason why they came early.
” I see, but if you also had to solve an issue was it handl
Chapter 127
Liam knew that the old man wouldn’t be of much help as he had everything in control but he just wanted the family to be aware of the type of person they were keeping in their home.
” Well there’s not much to do really , I’ve sorted a lot of things but there is one thing I need you to see though.”
He took out his phone and played the video with Boity addressing the nation and fabricating lies about Ciara.
Ciara’s Dad got hotter and hotter as he watched the video and finally he could not take it anymore , as he stopped the video from playing. He moved to the edge of his seat and he started rubbing his forehead. It was evident that the man did not like what he had seen.
” That Dexter man she is talking about , is he the same man you were going to marry over a year ago?”
Ciara was surprised that although her father seemed to have hated her all along, have been actually keeping tabs on her, he was fully up to date with her life as it seemed.
” Yes , but he chose to break up with me, and we haven’t been together since then.”
The man did not know how to react, it was clear as day light that Boity was the one who broke the relationship in the first place, but still had the audacity to defile his daughter’s name saying that she was a man snatcher and a homewrecker .
He could not understand the nerve she had, to even make the video right inside their home worse of all inside Ciara’s room and speak ill of her.
‘ Were they that much of weaklings that she knew for sure, that even if anything were to happen they surely wouldn’t do anything to her.’ He thought to himself.
“Such a hypocrite! She dares betray our family like this ? Dare to bite the handle that feeds her, let her think again.”
Right at the corner of the room was where the old man Williams was seated as he smiled lightly, it was as if saying , ‘ finally they realize how much of a witch their niece was, and it was about time Ciara’s dad does something to protect his own daughter.’
Mr Williams instructed one of the servants at home to call Boity in for him. Not long after that ,Boity walked in the house with her head still held high as she believed that even if the family had started on working on their differences their relationship was still weak, so basically she was still the daughter of the family.
“Uncle you called for me?”
Mr Williams looked at her for while, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable thinking that Ciara might’ve told him something, but then again how could a miss independent like her run back to tell their elders about their fued. So with that in mind she recollected herself and instantly became her normal old self.
” Tell me about the video that is seculating the internet right now, why did you not address the issue with her than to damage her reputation in public. She is pregnant for heaven’s sake what if people attack her and she loses her baby because of that video , huh, what would happen then?.”
One would think that after an elder had laid out all possible consequences for her , she’d see her mistake and apologize right there and then.
But for a person like Boity, an apology was not part of their vocabulary as everything she did and said was with intention.
” She should’ve thought about that before she had an affair with my man.”
Right then Ciara stood up and defended her name, you can call her anything but not a loose woman. It’s okay when it’s being said on the internet as she could not come for them individually.
” you say I’m having an affair right?, I want you to prove it, prove that I’m sneaking around with your useless man.”
” Owh she has a mouth, funny you say he’s useless yet you almost married him.”
Right then Mr Williams stood up from his seat and cut their bickering with his own shouting.
” Enough you two, so you did know that they were about to get married but you still went out with him?, is she not your family why would you be that dirty, you know what , I can’t deal with you right now. Just pack your stuff and leave my house.”
Right at that moment Boity dropped all her mean girl face and begged with all her might.
” No no uncle, what do you mean pack my stuff? You are my family the only family I have in this city, where do you expect me to go. No I’m not going , please.”
” Too late to regret, you should’ve thought about that before you started messing with my daughter and betrayed the entire family so now baby girl is your turn to be disowned we have no relative like you.”
Right after that, Mr Williams called the guards to escort her out with her luggage intact. She tried looking at grandpa and her aunt for help but that too did not help as the trouble and humiliation she had caused their daughter was far too much for them to ignore.
She took her roughly packed suitcase and wheeled it to the gate as she was being escorted out of the manor. She walked with pride, even though she did not have a place to stay and just experienced a minor set back, she was not about to look like her problems.
The woman walked even faster when she saw the group of people that gathered nearby who looked like reporters. She smiled as she walked closer to them, prepared to give them the greatest speech of her life. She had zero loyalty towards anyone and now that she had been thrown out of the manor , she was not scared of playing it dirty with the Williams family.
‘ you wait and see Ciara , wait and see. You bit my heel and I will certainly crush your head and that little devil you are carrying.’
Immediately when the crowd saw her, they came rushing to get a scoop on the drama of the rich and famous .
Boity stood in one place just a few steps outside the Williams family manor’s gate.
” Miss did the Williams kick you out?.”
Boity put on a bitter smile on her face acting like a woman who pretended to be strong even though going through a lot.
” unfortunately for me they have kicked me out even though they are the only family I have in this city. They would not hear my story and would rather take their daughter’s side who is a mistress and have lose moral standards than to stand by the truth. I am not mad though, I mean Ciara is their child but I just pray that she will leave my man alone.”
” Are you sure that’s the reason they chased you out or is it because you lied about their daughter and you are actually the one who came in their relationship in the first place.”
” Is it true that the two accused were actually engaged in the first place and you were the one who broke their relationship and possibly marriage?”
” what do you want to gain in all of this ma’am?”
As the questions kept coming, Boity started to panic, she wondered how on earth were they able to get so much information in such a short period, not so many people knew about Ciara’s relationship with Dexter and since she was already married to Liam there was no way Ciara was going to reveal that about themselves.
” Uhm , eeeh, why are you all spouting nonsense, I’m the victim here . Go after Ciara not me, I’m just an innocent woman being betrayed by my cousin and boyfriend.”
” Well there’s proof that your cousin is actually the innocent one in this and not the other way around. Be Careful of how you respond as this is live as we speak.
Chapter 128
Immediately when she heard the word “Live” alarm bells started ringing in Boity’s mind as she shoved everyone in her way aside and shouted.
” Move!!”
She had initially thought that the group of reporters had tracked Ciara’s whereabouts and had planned to use that to her advantage by creating more false stories about her cousin and family, but the change of plans were a great shock to her, as she didn’t know how to react from there.
She wheeled her suitcase as she ran away from the crowd chasing her from behind, luckily she was able to stop a random car and got inside then the man driving the car sped off.
Meanwhile when the family heard the commotion out side, they too went out and observed everything that was taking place right at their gate.
Once the commotion had ended they returned to the house to chat and chill without having to worry themselves about being potentially stabbed in the back by someone in the family.
” How did those people know about the shenanigans and lies of that child.”
Everyone in the room wondered the same thing but Liam was able to seriously and truthfully give them the answer.
” Well that is the majority of the work I was talking about, before we came here I had instructed one of my trusted employee to do a collection of evidence and write a statement. So I’m guessing that’s how the media found out and the reason why they are here.”
As it turns out, they were able to find the old invitation card and an email from the former couple requesting wedding planning services from a certain company dated back two years ago. They also found a video footage of the restaurant that showed how unaware Ciara was of Dexter’s presence when she came out of the rest room, and how uncomfortable she was after their interaction when she left the place immediately with her friends.
This proved that Ciara did in fact date Dexter and was engaged to him but something must have happend as they didn’t eventually get married. Through the video it was crystal clear that the woman was being held without her consent and wasn’t having it.
So where does all the lieas that Boity have been spreading come from and why did she create such defaming news about someone so close to her. When the netizens looked back to her relationship with Dexter they found that the two started dating and was publicly seen around the same time Dexter was supposed to be getting married to Ciara..
This surely made her the villain of this whole story, so it wasn’t Ciara who couldn’t stand seeing her happy and would do anything to make sure she suffers, and the one who came in to other people’s relationships but it was all her, she did all those horrible and vile things to her own cousin.
While people from all social media platforms were kept entertained by the Ciara ,Boity drama , Ciara and her family sat peacefully in the living room taking in everything that had just happend. It wasn’t hard for her to forgive her father as she didn’t hate him in the place, she was merely scared of him but still respected him as her father.
Right in the late afternoon both Ciara and Liam decided it was time they headed home.
So after saying their goodbyes and getting a take away box full of cooked peaches from Hillary, they left the manor and drove straight home.
As the car approached their villa Ciara noticed that the yard had a clear marquee decorated with pink and white drapes, outside it had an Oh baby sign with balloons around it. Yes it was her surprise babyshower.
” ohw my God gracious, honey , you did all of that for me?”
” Anything for you sweetheart.”
He answered with a satisfied smile all over his face as he saw Ciara’s reaction and tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.
” If you continue to cry like that , they’d think you are the baby instead.”
She then hit him softly on his shoulder using the backbof her hand.
” stop it…. Anyway thank you so so much babe, you’re the best.”
As soon as she opened the door she rushed to the marquee and was greeted by her friends from Port Elizabeth together with, Azlea, Lisa and stacey including a few of the people they were close to, as they all shouted.
” Surprise! “
Tears continued to gush out of her eyes as she was truly happy to see everyone especially after all the emotions she’s been going through lately, she really needed a break.
” Owh my God ,Donna! Melissa! You guys are here, but how.”
She went on to hug them with nothing but pure joy. After that she thanked everyone showing her gratitude for her special day and their presence.
They then sat down before the event could start, familiar soft, calming music from her favorite band started playing, and when Ciara turned her heard to see the source of the music she realized that they had a live band at her house, yes her favorite band.
” What! “
All of this was driving her crazy, in a good way though as she could not believe that all these nice things were indeed happening to her.
” Hey hey, breath shouldn’t you be used to this life by now, I mean you are practically swimming in money and things like these happens quite often to rich people.”
Melissa opened her big mouth and spouted nonsense as always, even Donna gave her a jab with her shoulder asking her to behave herself, it would’ve been better if it was just the three of them but now there was a lot more at the table.
” Thank you so much for blowing my bubble.”
Ciara responded to her sarcastically but yet in a playful manner.
” This is my first pregnancy and baby shower , Definitely the first time seeing my favorite band play live. I’m not as lucky as all the rich folks that you know hey.”
She then patted Donna next to her as she wanted to introduce them to her other friends.
” Hey I want you to meet my friends Lisa and Stacey here, I actually call them my sisters now as they’ve practically held my back for years now. We all went to college together and grew closer each day.”
” It’s about time, I really thought you had forgotten about us now that your Port Elizabeth friends are here.”
Lisa commented dramatically with her hand placed on her chest area acting like she was hurt.
Everyone at the table laughed when they saw this and just like that everyone clicked in to one group, brought together by Ciara.
Soon after that Maggie showed up with the caterers as she was foreseeing the whole event , she greeted the guest, spoke for a short while with Ciara telling her to take things easy and enjoy her day as she would not be staying.
She had planned the day especially for her daughter in law to enjoy with her close friends and take her mind off her troubles.
She then left to give the youngtars some freedom and soon after that food was served and they began digging in.
” Dee you haven’t told me how you got here and how you found my place?.”
This was a fare question, considering that Donna didn’t know the place, and there was no way that Maggie was the one who invited her as she had never revealed the names of the people who welcomed her and took her in when she was in Port Elizaberth, so she was wondering who that person could be.
Donna smiled shyly as she chewed on the food in her mouth and then raised her head to look at Finnick who was seated opposite her and then continued to speak.
” Well the invitation itself had the address, with the technology we have nowadays it sure wasn’t that hard to find the place.”
She answered with a smile all over her face like a teenager who was smitten in love for the first time in her life.
Ciara’s eyes popped open to the news she just received, her lips curved up in joy as she processed everything. Even though Donna did not say much but her eyes and head gesture revealed everything.
Soon after their meal it was now time for the games, Ciara had to be dressed in a baby pink tunic and held a baby bottle filled with cow’s milk. This time Lisa and Melissa worked hand in hand in leading the game.
Ciara had to guess each of the gift she had received and if she got the answers wrong she would have to drink the milk or get some free makeup using a red lipstick.
Stacey picked up a paper bag and handed it over to Ciara who was already blind-folded, she inserted her hand in the bag and moved it around trying to feel what the items in the bag were and lucky for her she was able to guess the rompers and the couple of tee shirt that were in that bag.
Soon the guessing game became a lot more difficult and at he end of the event there was an empty milk bottle and a red faced Ciara who had lipstick all over her face.
Chapter 129
Later in the evening when the party ended everyone left and it was only Ciara’s four friends and Azzlea who were left behind and yes of cause Liam’s friends Finnick and Matthew were also there chilling around the fire pit enjoying the roasted mushmellows they were having.
” Hey Cici , it’s been nice and all but we still need to get a hotel for our stay. We’re going to call it a night for now.”
Donna spoke as she stood up, getting ready to get her bags, Finnick also stood as he was not about to let his girl travel at night.
” What do you mean hotel, we have plenty of rooms here and you are not about to go to no hotel.”
What she said was final and Donna didn’t have the courage to turn her down, and just like that both Donna and Melissa became guests at the Jones’.
On the other side when Boity entered the stranger’s car she had thought that the man would also judge her and most probably throw her out of the carrying as soon as he find out who she was.
To her surprise the man did not care one bit about her identity.
” Where to Miss?”
He asked casually, but this question was very triggering to Boity as it only sinked then that she had no where to go to. Dexter wanted nothing to do with her and know she had immaturely broken her relationship with the only people who could help her out, which was her family. So where was she to go now.
” Just drive.”
” Miss we’ve been driving for the past hour, I have business to attend to and places to go. Better make up your mind or else…”
” well it’s not like I have a place to go to anyway, so you can drop me off anywhere you feel like it, I don’t care.”
The man hummed in response, he drove around for a few minutes then stopped at an apartment complex. It looked like those apartments that are only for the rich and famous.
After parking the car, The man got out then looked at the woman who was still sitting comfortably in his far.
” Are you coming or what?”
That’s was when Boity hesitantly opened the car door and got out not forgetting to take her suitcase with her. Then she followed the man behind as they entered the elevator, and pressed the floor number they were going to.
When they reached the apartment they were going to , the mean knocked a coupled of time before the door was opened.
” Heeey boo. Uuuh Sebastian, who is this?”
When the lady opened the door and saw her boyfriend standing right there in front of her, she tiptoed and gave him a peck on his lips, but soon realized that there was someone else with him ,which is why she asked that question.
Sebastian looked at Boity asking her to introduce herself.
“Ooh hy, sorry to intrude , my name is Boity.”
Sebastian then cut her in and continued with his sentence.
” She will be staying here with you for a few days, do take care of her….. We are all going to the golf club tonight , although she doesn’t need much grooming she does need preparation so you will be helping her with that.”
Right after he said that, he left the two women who knew nothing about each other , together in one apartment.
” Are you one of his women too?”
The woman asked in a very intimidating tone, with a hint of dominance and jealousy. She was indeed Boity’s match if not better.
” Heck No, I don’t even know the Dude. Not even sure why I’m here.”
Once a proud woman,always a proud woman. Boity couldn’t allow just anyone to degrade or look down on her in any way, even though she needed the accommodation, her pride couldn’t allow her to sit there and potentially be undermined by a woman she didn’t even know, hence she grabbed her suitcase and spinned her heels and was about to leave the apartment when the woman stopped her.
” Hey hey , my bad. It’s just that Sebastian isn’t that much of a caring person especially towards women he doesn’t have a connection with, so I was surprised to see him bring you home. Anyway he did personally invite you to the golf club, so who am I to get in the way of that.”
Although Boity did want to leave and her ego was telling to just leave the apartment she’ll make a plan on her own, but the fact that it was getting late and the woman sounded apologetic made her change her mind.
” Fine, but I don’t want to go to the golf club, I don’t understand anything being done there. The game is just totally confusing to me.”
” Unfortunately that’s not possible for you dear, the invitation was part of the reason he offered you a place to stay. My job is to help you get ready and prepare for the golf club otherwise he will surely eat me alive.”
” What? So now I have to go sit and just watch a bunch of men hit balls?”
” Well not tonight dear, by the time we get there they will be finished with their games we are just going there to have dinner, and build connections with the people there.”
Knowing that there wouldn’t be any games ,Boity now had no problem with going to the club, but was bothered by something.
” So if we are just going there for dinner, what is it that you have to prepare me for?”
” That is how you behave in front of Sebastian’s associates, but looking at the clothes you are wearing and what’s being said about you in the news, I know for sure you are good in that department. Just look good, smell good and be yourself, then all should he fine.”
Just like that ,Boity had signed a verbal contract with the devil himself.
Later on in the day, they both got ready for the night. Boity was draped in Chanel from head to toe, even her bag was chanel. She topped her look with a red lipstick and full glam makeup.
Just when it was time to go, Sebastian came to take them to the venue they were going to.
They drove for about an hour, their destination was further out of the city and by the time they arrived at the club, it was already so dark outside, so she did not get a clear view of the directions to the club.
Sebastian parked the car and they were ushered to the room they would be eating in, when they got inside there was already about 15 to 18 men and women inside, mingling at the table.
They greeted everyone and Sebastian then introduced Boity to the group. While she was being introduce to the bunch , she was able to recognize some of the people in the room. Some were business men, some where politicians and other she she didn’t have a clue what they did as they were not as famous as the ministers in politics and the business tycoons. She was also surprised to see some of the social media models or personalities there as dates.
Soon after that food was served, while eating her meal Boity Noticed that there was a man who was sitting not too far from her who kept stealing glances at her , so from time to time their eyes would lock.
The man was probably approaching his fourty’s in age, but maybe because his pockets were full and he took good care of himself and kept his body fit, he didn’t look that old.
Soon the dinner ended without the man saying anything to her, which Boity thought it was gentlemanly of him to do so.
To her surprise when they got home, Sebastian took out a business card with that man’s name and said,
” Alex, the man who was wearing a blue shirt tonight took a liking in you, you can save his number if you are interested.”
Boity wasn’t interested in starting any romantic relationships with anyone, her main focus was her revange on the Williams family , Ciara to be exact.
She was about to decline the offer when something on the card caught her she. She was intrigued by the man’s identity and what he does.
Alexandra Spencer , CEO of the biggest airline in the country and one of the wealthiest men she knew.
Chapter 130
This was the very first a person of his caliber took interest in her, so Boity was never going to let such an opportunity to pass her just like that.
With a man like Alex backing her, her revange mission would be a smooth sail and would sure be able to face the ever intimidating Liam head on. It was only because of that reason that she took the business card.
Since everything was sorted out and Boity had accept the card, Sebastian felt that his part of the job was done, and there wasn’t anything for him to do there, hence he left.
” You see now that Alex has taken a liking on you, you’ll have to create the illusion that you are a sweet and submissive woman. He adores elegant women as well.”
The woman commented as she saw how Boity’s eyes were glued up on that piece of expensive paper with the man’s contact details.
Hearing this Boity did not know how to respond, their bond was fairly new, and she could not call the woman her friend as she still didn’t know her intentions. At this point all she could do was to smile appreciatively, then stood up and headed to her allocated bedroom where she took a shower and got ready for bed.
As she was about to pull the bed covers so that she could get in to bed she noticed that matte black business card again which she had place on her bedside, she sat on her bed covered her lower body then took her phone and business card and started copying down the digits which she texted there after.
While she threw herself on the bed sighing to herself, someone who was peeking through the space at the door was nodding and smiling maliciously.
She then took out her phone, went through her contacts and stopped when her finger reached Sebastian’s number. She clicked on it , then went to their massages and typed,
” Job completed, she has reached out to Alex.”
She then put her phone back in to her pockets and walked happily to the wine cooler and took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass for herself , which she enjoyed in her bed while watching some television.
The following day when Boity woke up, the first thing she checked was her phone, when she unlocked the screen a message popped up.
” Be ready by noon , I’ll come pick you up.”
Although she thought the man was domineering, part of her was happy that he had responded and even though she had no romantic feelings toward him, she was open to the idea of being with the man as that would help with her cash flow.
She got out of bed, tidied up the room and then hopped in the shower to clean herself up before breakfast.
By the time she got out of her room , the house was smelling good with all kinds of breakfast meals Amanda had prepared.
” Morning sleepy head, come , take a seat and join me. I made a lot of food and definitely can’t finish it by myself.”
Although Boity thought this was so fake coming from a woman who clearly didn’t like her the previous day, she thought it would be wise to be polite to the woman especially after she had worked so hard preparing the meal.
” Oh Amanda ,you didn’t have to work so hard. Next time do call me to help you alright.”
She too responded with a fake statement of her own, if Amanda pretended to play nice with too wouldn’t mind playing the game but would definitely be on guard at all time as she didn’t not trust the woman.
Well when you are a cruel Woman yourself ,it would always be difficult to trust others as you’d always assume that they’d do to you the things you are cable of and have done to others.
She sat quietly on the breakfast bar , and started picking some food for herself to eat.
After some time of silence, Amanda decided to say something to break the cold icy air that surrounded them. She tried her best to sound as if they were best friends or at least familiar with each other.
” So spill the tea girl,did you contact Alex? What did he say? are you guys going to meet soon?”
When Boity heard what she said, she felt a twick in her heart, what she hated the most was people up in her business hence she tightened the hand holding the fork , trying hard to suppress the anger that was brewing inside of her.
She gave a slight smile, then responded casually,
” We’re meeting up later on today.”
Her answer was short and straight to the point, it covered everything and left no room for more question and as a result the room became silent yet Again.
When she was done with her meal, Boity got up, took her plate and put in the sink then turned around walking straight to her room.
Although she had offered to help earlier, right now was a totally different story as she acted like she had a maid to clean up after her.
She slammed her door shut, leaving Amanda on the other side, grinding her teeth in anger as she witnessed how ungrateful the girl she was sharing an apartment with was.
However when she thought of the paycheck she was going to receive after playing the hosting game with the rich girl, she had to swallow her anger and started cleaning the whole house up.
The next time she saw Boity was when she came out smelling expensive with her cologne filling the whole apartment, it was the exact time she was meant to be meeting up with Alex.
Boity walked right passed Amanda without saying a word,she then opened the door, but before she exited , she turned around and said,
” Don’t wait up, I might come back late.”
Amanda’s smile widened as she responded to her in a very friendly manner.
” Sure you will, huh! Don’t do what I wouldn’t do, hahaha haha.”
Irritated by Amanda’s response Boity shut the door behind her and walked away.
When she reached the ground floor she noticed a black Mustang parked right opposite the apartment entrance.
As she walked out of the building, the door of the mustang was opend from the inside and that was when she saw Alexandra’s face.
The man didn’t care to even come out and welcome her properly, but Boity didn’t mind either as she had no romantic feelings for the man.
She calmly closed the door and fastened her seatbelt.
” Alex, Right?”
He looked at her for a split second with a side smile on his face as he nodded.
” Boitumelo, such a beautiful name, it sure does suit the person.”
” Is that right?”
Just like that they hit it off, and chatted away all the way to their date.
He took her to an art museum which he had specially booked for just the two of them, they started walking around the museum with the tour guide explaining all the pieces that were displayed.
After a whole hour of connecting through art, Boity finally understood why Ciara loved it so much. It brought peace to her cloudy, heavy storm that forever resided in her heart.
At some point she found herself holding hands with the man she was with, and sometimes resting her head on his shoulder. She even wondered what the man had done to her, to even turn her to this mush that she was at present. Was she starting to like the guy and experiencing true love for the first time in her life?
The tour finally stopped by the wide staircase leading back to the reception area, but what was different now, was that there was a table that was placed in the middle of the hall. It was prepared for two, with red and white rose petals covering the floor around it. Candles were lit, two waiters in black and white formal business suits waiting in either sides of the table, ready to serve them.
