Fated to You

Chapter 16: The chairwoman, the assistant, the model, and the cop

A restaurant somewhere in Dallas

Becky and Mon had gone to a new restaurant that had just open not too far from Becky's company. She had walked with her fiancée in her arms and everyone came to tend to them as soon as they had walked in.

Being a celebrity has his perks. This is one of the rare occasions that she makes a public appearance with her girlfriend of two years and fiancée of a year. In reality, it was her mother's idea to introduce them together. Becky had not wanted to since she was still going through a hard time moving on from Freen back then. But, Mom is not the pain in the neck that she thought she would be. She's actually nice and Becky likes her but she's not in love with her. She loves Freen and she had let Mon know about that upfront.

So, the reason why Mon even wanted to know about Freen is still a mystery that she plans on finding out about right now. They take a sit on the outside of the restaurant since it is a nice day. Why stay outside when you can enjoy the sun? And besides, Mon had insisted because she is complaining that her skin tone is paling. Becky had found her extremely attractive and she has the perfect skin but models...there's always room for improvements.

Becky pulls out Mon's seat for her and Mon gracefully slides down on the chair. "Thank you baby."

Becky smiles then walks around the small table and sits down in turn, "You look beautiful since the last time I saw you."

"It's been a month hasn't it? I have been busy with the runaway shows and photo shoot. But, it is almost over and I'll finally have time for you and take care of the preparations of our wedding." Mon reaches for Becky's hands on the table, "you have no idea how much I missed you."

"I missed you too Mon and I couldn't wait for you to come back from your tour." Frankly, Becky had kept up with Mon's tours but she supported her spiritually. She's there for her. Sometimes. When she can. And she's not busy. "How was it?"

Mon groans, "It was tiring. I'm exhausted but the first thing I did when I left the airport was run all the way here to see you. I couldn't wait any longer. Do you like my surprise?"

"Yes, I do Mon. It is nice surprise but I wished you'd let me know that you would come today. I'd have picked you up at the airport myself." And now, she doesn't know what Freen is thinking. She was going to tell her. But then again, it's not like its any of Freen's business – just like it is none of her business that Freen is with that damn faux cop.

Mon gently taps Becky's hands, "That wouldn't be a surprise then silly."

"And one more thing Mon. What was the reason to ask my assistant to join us for lunch?"

"You mean the girl that you are hopelessly in love with. My competition. I've been meaning to talk about this with you. You have to fire her." Mon says matter-of-factly.

"What?" Becky asks.

"Yes, fire her. You are engaged to me Becky. How am I supposed to feel like when you are around that girl day in and day out?"

"You're supposed to feel like my fiancée. You know my work ethics Mon. I don't mix business with pleasure."

"Yes, I know. But your mother won't think the same when she comes back Becky. You should think about how things are going to be if she comes back and finds that girl working at the company. She won't like it. Especially after everything that this girl made you go through."

Hell! Pure Hell that's how she could describe the first three years of getting over Freen Chankimha. "Well, that's my problem Mon. I'll deal with it on my own and keep my mother out of this."

"Becky, you almost died over her." Mon lowers her voice because people who shouldn't hear about this are everywhere. "I'm the one who had to sew the broken pieces back up. Don't you think I at least deserve your respect? Fire her!"
