CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE **MARIANNA**"You!" I shouted wide-eyed."You! What the hell are you doing here?!" The cute but arrogant guy from my workplace asked loudly with a shocked face."What does it look like I am doing here?" I asked back rudely and stood up straight after I had finished picking up my textbooks that were all over the place."How the hell did you get into this school? How can a drycleaner like you get into Royal Gate High? Did you bribe your way through it?" He questioned looking surprised."Hey mister! Drycleaners are humans too and I didn't bribe my way through getting into this school. I got here like any other student did and if you were smart enough, you would know that I am here as a scholarship student!" I snapped angrily and hissed."You're here on a scholarship? I thought only brilliant students that passed the examinations would be allowed into this school? A dumb bitch like you could have never passed the exams. I'm pretty sure you cheated." He stat
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX **MARIANNA**"All of these happened some minutes ago and I was not informed about it? Someone should have sent for me and I would have come and reshape his ugly face." Julia said lividly after Vanessa and I finished narrating what had happened to them."He's not ugly Julia, he's actually very handsome. It is his behavior that is very bad." Vanessa pointed out."That is not the point Vee. The point is that I would have reconstructed his face with my fist and make him ugly." Julia stated seriously and the rest of us bursted into laughter."Why are y'all laughing? Do you guys think I'm joking?" She asked with yet another serious face and that just intensified our laughter. The reason behind our laughter is that we all know that Julia cannot kill an ant not to talk of reconstructing someone's face with punches."You guys should stop laughing. You're all making fun of me." Julia moaned and the laughter died down."You need to stop bluffing Julia. We know that you
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN*AC ORGANIZATIONS**BRIANNA'S OFFICE* **BRIANNA** My head was on my desk, I was taking a nap since there was nothing for me to do when the buzzing sound of the intercom penetrated my sleep. Why is he calling me now? Just when I started enjoying my nap. I picked up the intercom and placed it on my ear "Good day boss." I greeted gruffly. I have not set my eyes on him since I got to work this morning and this is also the first time he's calling me today."Good day Brianna. Why is your voice sounding like this? Were you sleeping?" He asked, but I did not reply him because it was a little embarrassing."That aside, I need you to come to my office. If you can remember, we have a meeting with Mr. Sergio at 'Dine with Diana' by 2:00 p.m. and this is 1:30 p.m. so we have to start going. Remember to take the necessary we'll be needing along with you." He said all of this with a clam voice and I was a bit surprised at the tone of his voice. Since when did he
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTAFTER BRIANNA RAN OUT OF THE RESTAURANT "Jeez! That girl is sooo beautiful." Simeon stated dreamily, the image of Brianna's cleavage still in his head."She sure is. But you shouldn't have blurted out that statement that you made earlier. You made me lose a billion dollar." Mr. Sergio said and glared hard at Simeon whose cheeks became red."I'm so sorry about that, boss. But you can't really blame me, she's the most beautiful girl I've ever set my eyes on." Simeon uttered."Well that's true. She's even more beautiful than my wife was when she was still young. Too bad that she didn't consider my offer of paying her monthly without having to work. I would have spoiled her with money but she chose to go with that young, handsome but rude Adrian. That's her loss tho." Mr. Sergio said with loathfulness."Yeah, that's her loss indeed." Simeon agreed with his boss."What are we still doing here? Let's leave since we don't have any business here again." Mr. Sergio sa
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE **BRIANNA** I left Cherry's place around some minutes past seven, after we had finished catching up. I got to our house and entered."Mum! Marianna! I'm home!" I hollered immediately I entered and saw that nobody was in the sitting room."Welcome Brianna, we're in the kitchen." Marianna yelled and I went to the kitchen."Hey mom, how are you?" I asked, hugging her."I'm fine Brianna, how was work?" She responded and then asked after we disengaged from the hug."Work was fine but stressful mom but we thank God." I said."You went straight to your mom. You didn't see me. Am I a spoon or a potato?" Marianna asked, feigning a frowning face."Actually, you're neither a spoon or a potato. You're a complete set of cutlery." I replied with a giggle and the frown on her face became deeper."Mum! Brianna is bullying me!" She whined like a kid and I burst into laughter."Don't mind her, baby. Acknowledge your sister's presence now." Mum said with a serious face."No mum, s
CHAPTER FORTY **ADRIAN** I heard a knock on my door when I was in the middle of going through some files and I told whoever that was knocking to come in. The door opened and closed and I knew that the person that was knocking had gotten inside. I was expecting the person to talk but he or she didn't."Okay, who is this? Can't you say whatever you are here for and get out of my office?" I spoke up and looked up at the person that walked in and was met with a huge shock. A shock in form of Brianna dressed in "Brianna?" I asked speechlessly."Yes boss. Good morning, I brought your coffee for you." She said and approached my desk with a cup of coffee in her hand. Yet another shock because she had not been bringing my coffee to me again."Is this really Brianna?" I asked again."Yes boss, it's me. Don't I look like Brianna?" She asked with a smirk."You have her face and body but you don't dress like her." I stated as a matter-of-fact."You seem to have forgotten, Mr. Adrian. Y
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE **BRIANNA** It was already time for the meeting and Mr. Adrian and I were on our way to the meeting room with him walking a few feet ahead of me. The staff that I met lingering around were staring at me and saying different things about my dress."My gosh, what the hell is she putting on?""Doesn't she know the difference between clothes meant for work and the other types of clothes?""The cloth is too big on her.""Well, she doesn't really look bad on it." Those were the different types of comments I was getting because of my dress but I turned deaf ears to the comments as usual because they wouldn't remove or add money to my account (as if there's even money in the account). Mr. Adrian entered the meeting room and I entered after him. This time around, I was not nervous like the first time I came to this meeting room,I have gotten over the nervousness. The people present stood up to acknowledge Mr. Adrian's presence when he entered and he nodded at
CHAPTER FORTY-TWOSAME DAY...LUNCH TIME **BRIANNA** I had just finished working on some files that were given to me by Mr. Adrian. A loud yawn escaped my mouth and at the same time, my stomach grumbled. I patted my stomach and cooed at it like I was cooing at a baby, "Don't you worry, dear stomach. I'll fill you up soon enough." I laughed at myself when I realized how stupid I must have looked when doing that."What's the time? It should be time for lunch already." I thought aloud and looked towards the clock on the wall. It was already five minutes into lunch time. I got up, arranged the files I had just finished working on and made my way to Mr. Adrian's office. I knocked on the door tentatively and was told to come in. I entered and strode towards his desk. He was not sitting though, he was standing by one of the glass walls in his office and was staring at the busy city below him."I came to submit the files you told me to work on, sir." I voiced out."You're done with
