The Princess's Affection

Chapter Eight

Bianca Shiola's POV

It has been several months since I started working here, and I wouldn't lie if I said that there were some days that I understood Princess and some days that I didn't. In the beginning, I was still having trouble getting the hang of the job, but with Princess's patience, I finally started performing extremely professionally well in my career and was praised a lot by Princess.

I began knowing Princess well enough and began seeing a sweet person that she hid behind her. One day, we had deep conversations about life, and I found out that she was a lesbian stud who only liked her women to be femme and not studs like her.

Life was really shining on my side, as I was able to provide the money for my mother's surgery and pay all the debts that I owed people. The place that I resigned from and came to see  my former employer with my new car that Princess had bought me to use for work or places that I wanted to go to whenever I pleased.

I visited my boss, and everyone was shocked, happy, envious, and pretended to be pleased to see me. I gave some money to my boss, to thank her for helping me all these years, and when they asked me which company I was working for, I told them that it was Esa Enterprise, the biggest woman-owned company in the world, and Lagos.

They began asking me questions like, Have you seen the owner of the company? Do you know her? and Is it true that they don't allow men to work there? Some people said that maybe it was because the owner was in a cult that only accepted women, and I got angry and defended her.

You can't just assume that she is what you heard about her, and everything that you hear about, you must believe. Please use your intuition before speaking, and do remember that I am close friends with her.

And they all kept quiet about asking me foolish questions. But one foolish soul then asked me to tell him the business secrets of the organization that I worked for, and what led to the success of the company. But all I did was not answer him and pretend that I didn't hear anything from him.

I thanked everyone, including the owner of the company, and went back home. When I arrived, I saw Princess paying for some deliveries that she had ordered online. And when I greeted her and helped her with some packages that she had bought, We entered the house, closing the door.

Princess, still staring at my face, asked me why I was pissed as fuck and fuming in anger.

You know the place that I worked for, before resigning and working at your company. My former colleagues who began asking me stupid questions concerning you, and if you saw the way I flared up and defended you, I was even shocked at myself, I said.

So, what did they say about me? she asked.

You don't need to know about that, but just know that I defended your name. And I will continue to defend you wherever I am, I told her.

Oh, okay, if you say so. Please, can you help drop this package upstairs in my room?

What did you buy, like this princess? I said to her. If I didn't know you too well, I would have thought that you don't spend your money that much on things. Here I was thinking that you were extremely stingy, like business men and women. You don't blame me for hearing about such stereotypes about business people, but you have shocked me and shown me that not all stereotypes are true.

She just chuckled at me and carried the packages while we went upstairs to her room. When we did, she asked me to drop it off in the corner of the room where she could see it. After I dropped it, I went to playfully somersault on her bed, and she playfully looked angry and laughed at my childish behavior.

What do you want to eat? she asked me.

I would like to eat some pizza and drinks, please, would you like to order for your darling, I said, batting my eyes at her playfully.

Oh, okay, hold on, let me make an order for the two of us, she said.

Yay, I said, bouncing up and down the bed and beaming with joy.

Childish little girl, she said, chuckling. Hello, please, I would love to order a large pizza and a medium pizza with a Fanta and Pepsi soda. Make it snappy, please, and thank you.

And she came sitting down on the bed, and I asked her why she wasn't really that playful, and she just shrugged her shoulders. While we watched the television series, in her room, the bell rings and she headed downstairs to pay for our orders. Then, after a while, she came upstairs with what we ordered.

Who is hungry? she jokingly asked me.

Me, Aunty, I raised my hand, mimicking the voice of a young girl.

And my food was given to me, and I dove into eating my pizza and drinking my favourite soda drink.

Yummy, I said it and accidentally burped so loudly. Oops, I said, and I apologized. Sorry, Princess, and the next thing that she said was burping too loudly and smirking after she did that.

You don't need to apologise to me every single time you do something, but I ain't complaining when you look like a scared kitty. What do you want to do after we are done eating, or do you want to stay here in my mind? While I sort out these packages that I just got.

And I stayed on her bed, watching shows and series, while she removed the items that she bought from the cartons into their respective places.

Here, take it, she said. While handing over a pair of gifts to me. Happy birthday, Bia. You thought that I forgot about your birthday today, and I really got you there.

Thank you so much, I told her, and I rose up and hugged her, and this time she hugged me back. When I opened the gift bags that contained my gifts, there was an expensive bag that I had always wanted to buy, a shoe, and an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I was super excited with my gifts, and I thanked her for all she had done for me, especially that of working for her company and the salary that I had, I used to pay off my debts, my siblings' school fees, their accommodations, and their upkeep money. I was so happy that the doctor called me to inform me that the surgery carried out for my mother was successful and that any moment now, she would be allowed to come home.

I really thanked God for all that He had done for me and my family, as well as for bringing Princess into my life. Ola had relocated with her parents to the United States of America, and I don't know when she will ever come back to Nigeria. I do miss her and her parents every day, and today, she and her family called to wish me a happy birthday by video calling me on WhatsApp.

I was so happy for everything that had happened to me that today was one of the happiest birthdays ever that I have celebrated.
