This Is It.

Chapter 9 - Must be Special

BIANCA

It has been four days since my encounter with the Boss. She has been acting so formal around me lately. Everything was strictly business. She does not even allow me to ask her anything that is not related to my job.

I was currently at the art studio. Listening to Siza interrogate me.

"You might not what to tell me everything but I can see. The fact that she carried you all the way to her car worries me," she whispered.

"What do you mean Siza? It's not a big deal man. That woman hates me."

"You know I've been working here for three years. In that amount of time I have learnt so much about her. She's a dragon. She completely hates people. She's controlling, arrogant and closed off."

"I don't understand how that involves me though."

"Bianca, she willingly took you to your apartment in her car. Which I have never been in before. That means she was concerned about you. That's new to me."

"Really?"

"Yes. I remember there was a time I had an emergency and I had to rush to the hospital. I didn't have a car at the time and I asked her if she wouldn't mind driving me to the hospital. Guess what."

"Spill it out. I want to know. "

"She refused."

"I don't know what to say to you."

"You're just special. Maybe you guys will end up together," she grinned.

There was no way that was going to happen. I don't even feel that kind of way towards her. I mean she's my Boss and a woman. What would my family say? They would hate me even more.

"What? No way. Siza that woman hates me!" I turned to her laughing.

I noticed that Siza was making weird faces and that made me laugh even harder.

"What woman?" I tensed up at the voice. I realized that Siza was trying to make me aware that 'the dragon' had arrived.

I slowly turned around to look at her. The three of us had what seemed like a stare competition but it was more between me and Ms Moreau because Siza was just switching her gaze between the two of us.

"I do not appreciate the two of you gossiping on duty and it won't be nice when I find out who that woman is."

"Yes boss." Me and Siza mumbled at the same time.

"You," she pointed at me. "Follow me."

This woman was really making my life difficult. I followed her to the office and she briefed on some things related to my paintings. As she was speaking, my eyes scanned the items on her table.

"Are you looking for something?" She asked.

"Uhm no?" It seemed like the longer we stared at each other. I noticed that her face was awfully familiar.

"You look familiar. Do you think we have met before?"

"Absolutely not."

"But your face, it's like I've seen someone with the exact facial features as you."
