~ At Sy Corp ~
Clifford was spacing out inside his office. It seed that his mind was wandering off sowhere. Dexter, his assistant, noticed his strange behavior today, wondering what his boss was thinking.
Sotis, he could catch him smiling foolishly while tracing his lips. His eyes widened in astonishnt. He was truly shocked beyond belief. He blinked several tis wondering if he was just imagining things or not.
But he was not! Clifford, his cold and indifferent Boss who seldom smiles, was indeed smiling and chuckling on his own. What happened to him? Was this the effect of taking weeks of vacation, taking care of a patient?
Dexter could only shake his head helplessly. But he was glad that his Boss was no longer grumpy and frowning the whole day.
"Wait? Is this a sign that he is in love? Is it possible?" Dexter murmured to himself while rubbing his chin.
He just shrugged his shoulders. He decided not to disturb his CEO Boss from his daydream. It was best for them that he was in a good mood today.
anwhile, Clifford, who was unaware of his odd behavior today, continued thinking about Bianca. He couldn't stop smiling as he recalled how he pretended to be her boyfriend in front of her mother.
Who would have thought he would suddenly do that? He even stole kisses several tis from Bianca.
'When did I beco naughty and shaless?' Clifford asked himself, still smiling from ear to ear.
After a while he took a deep sigh, looking outside his office window. "I wonder what she is doing right now. Is she upset with ? She didn't return any of my ssages?" Clifford pouted, his eyebrows knitted into a frown.
He texted Bianca several tis today reminding her to drink her dicine on ti. But until now, he hadn't received any reply from her.
He was used to seeing her every day as he was the one taking care of her as her guardian. Now that she was no longer in the hospital, he had no reason to take care of her and see her every day.
Clifford heaved a deep sigh at that thought. But his alter ego spoke to him in his subconscious.
'Go and visit her! No need to find a reason. If you want to see her then go and see her!'
He didn't know when he started to beco more attached to Bianca. He could easily feel bored without seeing her. And he kept on thinking about her. It felt like his day was incomplete without being with her.
Clifford glanced at his phone, still contemplating whether to call Bianca or not.
Clifford: 'Should I call her?'
His alter ego: 'You should visit her!'
Clifford facepald because of his indecision. Because of that, he couldn't focus on his work as if he was a boyfriend experiencing lovesickness for not seeing his so-called girlfriend.
When he could no longer bear it, Clifford contacted soone for SOS. After sending a ssage, a mischievous smile flashed on his gorgeous face.
After fifteen minutes, he received a call. His eyes lit up when he saw the caller ID. He quickly answered the phone.
"Hello?" He plainly said, hiding the excitent in his voice.
"Boss Cliff!" Bianca's voice was heard from the other line. He smirked. This call was what he was waiting for. It seed that his strategy worked.
"Are you busy?" She asked him. He could tell that Bianca was sohow hesitating about sothing.
"Hmm, I'm not. Why?" He tried to maintain his usual voice, fighting the urge to laugh. He could tell that Bianca was reluctant to request sothing from him.
"Urgh! I need a boyfriend today. Can you co? Mom and Dad are visiting over dinner. My mom told my dad about you. They want to have dinner together with you!"
Clifford bit his lip, restraining himself from laughing out loud. But deep inside he was rejoicing. Now he had a reason to visit and see her. Besides, she was the one who invited him to co over.
He cleared his throat before speaking once again.
"Oh, What ti do you need a boyfriend? And until what ti? Do I also need to sleep over tonight?" Clifford teased her.
"You wish!" Bianca spat back at him annoyingly.
That's it! Clifford could no longer hold it in so he burst out laughing. He could imagine Bianca glaring at him right now.
"Hey. Why are you grumpy? Is this how you ask favor from soone?"
Bianca was not able to respond. She almost forgot that she was the one who was asking for a favor from him. But later on, she found the right words to respond to him.
"I'm your savior, rember? You promised that you will be good to now. So don't bully !"
"When did I bully you?" He asked, arching his eyebrow.
"When you kis–" Bianca stopped midway as she realized that she was not supposed to bring that topic up.
"When?" Clifford asked her again, urging her to continue.
"Eh, nothing. By the way, can you co at around 6:00 pm?" She politely asked him.
"Sure. I can do that. But are you sure I don't need to bring clothes for a sleepover?"
Bianca rolled her eyes skyward. She knew that Clifford was just trying to tease her.
"No need! Don't worry! If you have to, I can let you borrow my clothes!!" She responded with a little hint of sarcasm. Of course, she was certain Clifford didn't need to stay overnight. It was just for dinner! Yes, only dinner!
But her heart was pounding crazily inside her chest just thinking of Clifford staying in her apartnt for one night. She sohow missed sleeping while knowing Clifford was just nearby, watching her over.
"Okay. I got it. You don't have to raise your voice." He paused, his lips curling up into a wide grin.
"See you later, sweetheart!" He added with his sweet tone before he hung up the phone.
Bianca's eyes widened, her mouth loose open. The call already ended but she was still holding her phone in her ear with a startled look in her eyes. 'What the hell was that? He called … Sweetheart? Is he possessed by soone?!'
