BIANCA’S POV
I parked my car at the parking lot of one of my shopping malls.
I came down with all confidence. I mean I’m a top model and the CEO of BB Beauty. I’m more than confident.
I walked into the mall and the staff greeted me with their heads bowed.
“Good day mam.” They all greeted me in unison before going back to their work.
My mall was one of the expensive malls in LA and only the wealthy came there to shop so the atmosphere was well organized.
“Where’s the manager?” I asked not to respond to their greetings.
“I’ll go get her.” the secretary said and left.
I sat down waiting for the Manager and then I heard a familiar voice.
“The girls trip is going to be fun, don’t miss out.”
I turned around to the direction the voice came from.
And there she was Ann Arnold.
What was she doing here and why was she shopping again.
I know Ann enough to know that she would only shop twice a week if she has somewhere to go.
“Common everybody is going to be there except Bianca. I didn’t invite her, she’s going to cause trouble.” Ann said not knowing I was sitting behind her.
Girls trip? did these bitches plan a trip without involving me. Ouch that hurts bad and did she in any way called me trouble?
Damn this bitch got guts.
I watched her make her call and then Rayne walked in.
“Do you think I should go with the pink one or the red one?” Rayne asked Ann.
“Rayne, hold on a sec I’m on the phone.” Ann replied as she got back to her conversation on the phone.
“Ann common, just pick one.” Rayne said, stumbling her feet on the floor like a baby.
“Rayne, go ask someone else, I’m on the phone please girl.” Ann said with a dramatic side eye expression as she went back to her phone call.
Rayne sighed then she turned around and our eyes met.
She looked away quickly and acted like she never saw me.
“Such a scary cat.” I scoffed.
I stood up and walked towards them.
“Hey ladies.” I said with a bright smile.
Ann turned around immediately she heard my voice.
“Why are you everywhere Bianca?” Ann asked loudly.
“Bitch I own this place.” I said, trying to remind her.
“And so what, stay away from Rayne.” Ann warned.
“I didn’t come here for Ryane, I own this place and I can come here whenever I want to.” I said
“Ohhh that’s a nice dress, I bet you pick the red one that suits your skin.” I said with a smile trying to be nice.
“Thank you.” Rayne said
I could see she wasn’t comfortable with my sudden kindness.
“So why are you girls shopping all of a sudden?” I asked, trying to know their reasons.
“It’s none of your business Bianca, we can shop everyday if we want.” Ann replied.
“Ann, you don’t need to be that harsh. I was trying to be nice.” I said calmly pretending that I was hurt by her words.
“Bianca Ann was just trying to say that…”
“It’s okay.” I said cutting Rayne short.
” Ann is always like this with me.”
I said playing the helpless victim.
“Rayne let’s go.” Ann said and was about dragging Rayne along.
“Come to the girls trip with us.” Rayne said out loud.
“Rayne don’t!” Ann half screamed
“What girls trip?” I asked.
I knew something was fishing.
“Ann had planned a girls trip and we forgot about you, or probably she was angry at you.” Ryne said.
Oooo I forgot it must be the incident on her welcome party night.
“Ohh Rayne, about last time. I seriously thought you called my mother a bitch.” I said calmly.
“It seems you’re innocent and I’m sorry for that, it wasn’t intentional.” I said calmly, acting like the prey.
“Here’s the card, the trip is in two days. I bet you’ll have to shop too.” Raybe said, handing me a card.
Ann faced palmed herself as Rayne kept on talking about the trip. it was so obvious they never wanted me to come but why’s Rayne inviting me all of a sudden.
“Thank you, you know you’re kind hearted.” I said with a smile as I took the card from her.
“Rayne let’s go.” Ann said angrily.
“Why don’t we have a drink girls, a glass of wine wouldn’t be bad.” I said trying to make them stay a bit longer.
“Enough with your tricks Bianca, we’re leaving.” Ann said.
“Common Ann, it’s just a drink, it wouldn’t do any harm.” Rayne said.
Ann groaned stubbornly before agreeing and we walked to my private reception.
I whispered to one of the staff to get me one of my best wines.
The staff noded before leaving.
She came back two minutes later with the wine and three glass cups.
“Please ladies serve yourselves.” I said my smile was not washing off.
My eyes were on Rayne the whole time, I wondered what Eric saw in her that he didn’t see in me.
Was it beauty? A nice body skin? A good curve?
The thinking was driving me crazy but I just kept my cool and had my eyes on her the whole time.
“Can I get another card? I want my friend to come along with me” I said.
“The both of you can share the card, you’ll just have to say you invited her.” Rayne said.
“And why are you coming with your friend, the both of you together are nothing but a total problem for Rayne. I wonder why she can’t see that.” Ann said out loud.
“But I was just trying to be nice.” I said acting emotional.
“That’s it Rayne let’s go your husband must be waiting.” Ann said as she got up and Raybe got up.
“About Eric, tell him I really missed him.” I said wanting to see Rayne’s reaction.
“Okay.” Was her simple reply before she walked out.
She acted as though she wasn’t on good terms with Eric. I bet this is the time I’ve been waiting for.
