Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Xander raised a brow, he wondered what his cousin was talking about not until he heard a soft footstep approaching him..

He snapped his head to take a look at the uninvited guest and was left speechless at the level of familiarity she had with someone he once knew..

“Hey!” Becky called out to him taking the nearest seat closest to him, she flashed him a smile which brought him out of his daze..

“Do I know you?”

Becky shrugged and snatched the red apple from him after which she took a bite out of it..

“Maybe”

Xander was left totally confused, he stood up to his feet taking a closer look at Becky trying to point out the weird things he found familiar about her..

“Wait.. hold on a sec! I recognize you! you’re Becky!”

Xander exclaimed in shock and disbelief, she stood up to her feet and threw herself into his opened arms..

Well, here was another person she cherished, Xander Grey, the only one who troubles her non stop, not a bully actually but a total jerk!

“No way!” he whispered checking her out, as far as he could recall she was known to be an overweighted teenager who was always being teased every now and then..

He was also one of those who teased her in the past but in a more friendly approach..

*Well that made enough sense right?*

Becky turned around when she heard the clearing of one’s throat behind her, she turned around swiftly a bit startled..

She felt her heart banging against her ribcage, damn! he still had that effect on her till date, her lips parted admiring the male god who just stepped in..

He was putting on an apron that made him look so sexy, his blue ocean like eyes pierced through her like a cold dagger..

“Do I need to excuse you both? I mean.. I can have my breakfast up in my room” Charles murmured and was about to leave when he was stopped by Xander..

Xander smacked Charles playfully at his back pointing a finger to Becky who was suddenly red in color, his brows drew together in worry was she sick?

“Are you alright?” he asked and at the same time raising his hand to her forehead..

Becky blushed red in embarrassment, she playfully slapt his hands off her forehead..

Charles raised a brow, he failed to understand what was going on in front of him, should he leave or stay?

“Don’t you know who this lady is?”

Charles raised a brow, just to be honest his answer was a clear big NO..

“Nope! not even a bit”

Becky’s heart pounded wildly, but she managed to maintain a small smile on her lips, she tried so hard to convince herself that he probably didn’t recognize her just like the rest of her family and friends..

“Come on bro.. she’s Becky.. you know? Fatty Becky?”

“Oh” came his short and only reply, he recognized her now but what exactly happened to her now? she looked different and so much more natured and should he say…. sexy?

“Hi” she managed to utter with a small smile stretching forth her hand for a friendly shake which he accepted..

“It’s been a while”

Bella straightened her skirt a bit before walking into her boss’s office, she couldn’t contain her smiles all day because she and Damien would be all alone at Chicago in the next few hours..

“Boss”

Damien looked up from his PC to his assistant who just walked in, he noticed her smile was unusually too noticeable..

“Is there any special occasion coming up that I don’t know of?”

Bella was caught off guard at the totally unrelated work question he just asked, maybe he was starting to notice her presence..

She chuckled hard at his question shaking her head in response..

Damien cleared his throat and pulled his gaze off her, he picked up some signed documents on his desk and handed it over to her..

“These are the signed documents the Japanese clients signed a while ago, keep them safely..”

Bella collected the documents from him with a small bow, she was a bit hesitant to leave the office, wasn’t he going to brief her a bit about their trip tomorrow?

She cleared her throat ready to ask but was caught off by Damien who threw a question to her..

“Do you have anymore to say?.. oh that reminds me, I need you to send me the reports if there’s any in the next two days I’ll be away”

Bella’s brows collided confusedly, how was that going to be possible if they were at Chicago? or perhaps….

“Olivia will accompany me over there… and I hope you’ve booked our rooms at the hotel?”

Bella’s face fell, she clutched the documents she was holding to her chest almost squishing it into her body, she forced a tight smile and gave a nod.

Damien waved her off and almost immediately, she stomped away in anger, her mood has already been ruined by her boss’s declaration..

Of all well mannered ladies why her? why Olivia Parker?! she gnashed her teeth in anger..

The other employees noticed her annoyed expression as soon as she stepped out of the boss’s office, they gaped at her as she walked to her office..

Bella halted her movement just when she was about to open her door, she snapped her gaze back to those of them ogling at her, they pulled their gazes away from her pretending to do something on their PC’s..

“Get back to work! you nose pokers!” She lashed out in irritation and turned around ready to leave for her office when she suddenly bumped her head on her office’s closed door..

She turned back to them with her hand against her forehead when she heard their muffled and silent chuckles..

“Keep quiet!” She barked out in anger..

***

Olivia’s jaw dropped as her mum hurried past her with four big shopping bags, she wondered what was wrong with everyone today?

For crying out loud, it was just a two days business trip, why were they making this seem like a month’s long honeymoon?

Bianca stepped into the room holding two lipstick in her hands, she waved it in front of her curiously..

“Umm.. Olivia, which one do you prefer the most? red or nude?”

“None!” Olivia declared in a firm tone..

She sighed exasperatedly and returned back to the couch where she was seated a while ago, today was just so frustrating..

She heard the door opening and the once quiet living room turned rowdy as two little kids ran in..

“Mummy!!! I’m home!!” Kelvin yelled out excitedly as he crashed next to her on the couch, he planted several kisses on her cheek without giving her a chance to recover ..

“Oh.. alright Kelvin”

Kiara giggled softly tugging Olivia’s dress “Aunt.. Kelvin told everyone at school today that you’re going on a vacation with his daddy tomorrow.. is that true?”

Olivia sat up from the couch staring back and forth between Kelvin and Kiara..

“Kelvin.. did you?”

“Olivia! how does this dress look? isn’t it nice?”

She turned back to see her mum flaunting a pink armless mini gown which looked like a five year old’s dress, alright that was it!

She jerked up on her feet and walked out of the living room with a loud bang following suite after she slammed the door behind her..Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The living room fell silent as they all looked at each other before bursting out into a loud laughter..

“Alright! I guess we drove her out” Sandy murmured fondling with the pink dress she was currently holding..

“Yeah.. I hope she doesn’t run away, do you think we were a little bit too much?”
