The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Mirabelle inquired whether Crystal needed anything so that she could make something for her and she responded that she should bring whatever she had in the kitchen as she was starving.

Georgia had already taken her initial position again on the bed, and when she heard her friend’s footsteps coming up to her room, she sat on the bed looking so sad like someone who had lost both parents on the same day.

Crystal, with a huge sigh and hesitation, breath in and out as she stood in front of Georgia’s room wondering how she must be coping with the heartbreak.

She finally mustered the courage to knock on her door while pushing it at the same time, walking inside the room and calling out her find’s name.

“Georgia baby, I am here now”, she spoke out noticing her crouching in her bed with her head bowed in between her knees and her hands crossed in front of her knees holding each other for stamina.

Crystal felt bad seeing Georgia in such a mood and she dropped her bag on the sofa by the side of the room, she went to sit down by her friend to console her in the best possible way that she could.

On catching a glimpse of her friend, Georgia shrieked even further looking all red from weeping all day.

Her eyes were swollen and her face was sticky from the tears and sweat as her air condition was not in motion.

Crystal held on to her calmed her down and told her to stop crying and explain what had happened.

Finding it difficult to stop, Georgia looked her friend in the face and the only thing that came out of her mouth was “Why me”, as she increased the magnitude of her sobbing.

Crystal did not know what to say about the situation as all she was aware of was her saying that she had caught Jake cheating on her but she did not know anything else.

“Can you just calm down please and tell me what happened?”, Crystal raised a question rubbing her friend’s back with the palm of her hand while consoling her to stop.

She was that Georgia could fall sick as she was first as fragile as a newborn baby.

Her present state was not good for her and if her mother happened to walk in and see her in that mood, then she would turn it into a huge fuss knowing how much she loved her daughter.

Crystal not knowing what to do anymore, arranged the pillows that were in her bed, to the wall so that her friend could crouch on them and feel comfortable.

A knock was heard on the door and that could only be Mirabelle, Crystal told Georgia to wait while she got the door.

Mirabelle had made some omelets and a glass of juice and water and that was on a server.

“Thank you Mirabelle I appreciate this”, Crystal spoke out with a smile.

” You are welcome”, Mirabelle responded throwing a look at Georgia as she told Crystal that she had been like that all day.

Turning her attention to Georgia and back to the maid, she said to her,

“I want you to tell me everything that happened to her today”, Crystal notified.

There was complete silence in the room for some seconds as Mirabelle gave a pathetic stare at Georgia feeling sorry for her and whatever she might be going through, she created her throat and moving her lips from one position to another, she grumbled,

” Ms. Georgia left the house this morning after her mother had gone to work, I inquired whether she wanted breakfast before leaving, but she did not answer back and just left the house in a hurry”, she said but paused for some minutes.

Crystal wondering what could have happened to put her out of herself in this manner, asked the maid to continue with the story as she was all ears.

Twisting her fingers under her apron, she continued with the story as she told Crystal that, Georgia was very angry when she was leaving the house and she had turned on her car without even giving the security agent enough time to open the gate so that she could out.

Out of anger, she horned so many times and that made the guard at the gate to be confused.

Crystal turned and looked at her again, and her appearance was still detached as she was still crying painfully.

Having listened enough, Crystal told the maid to get back to her quarters and if she needed anything, she was going to call on her.

Crustal walked back to the bed joining Georgia and spoke softly,

“Are you ready to tell me what happened at Jake’s house?”, she raised a question again, picking up the glass of water on the platter and giving her friend some to drink.

While growing up, Crystal learned about the magic of drinking and giving water to someone who is crying deeply as it helps to cut the anxiety of crying out.

She had just helped her friend drink some water and she was aware that in less than a minute, Georgia was not going to be able to cry anymore and that was exactly what happened, as she was only catching her breath with no tears.

Max rolling his pen on his desk, felt a coldness in him that he could not explain.

He had never felt something as strange as what he had felt some moments ago, so he called out for his secretary, asking whether there were any updates on what he had asked her to do and if there was anyone available for the job.

His secretary looking at him with a confused look let out,

” Sir, you instructed me to put the deadline for three days, and that is what I did”.

Max knew that what he was about to do was not good but because he is been blinded by greed and power, he has chosen to consider the fact that, he could give out his niece for marriage.

With a disgusting stare, Max yelled at his secretary telling her to contact those who had shown interest in the chasm to come for the interview tomorrow morning.

Frightened by her boss’s fallout, his secretary nodded in acceptance and took off to his desk shivering like someone that has been drenched in rain.

“I need to get her out of my way if not, she will ruin things for me”, Max spoke out wheezing like he had seen an apparition.

Talking on the phone, Blaze was bringing in arrangements for his dinner date with Crystal with one of the most outstanding bistros in town.

” I want everything to be perfect Cornelius”, Blaze let out feeling confident as the owner of the restaurant is his college friend.

He could not explain why he was so excited about the coming day but he just wanted to see Crystal no matter the place and time.

“I just love being in her company though she wants to prove that she is tough, deep in her I still keep seeing a beautiful soul”, the thought of Crystal was all over his mind.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

” Blaze wake up from your fantasy”, he slapped himself and picked up a file on his desk to check what he could do to distract himself from the pretty crone.

Georgia had calmed down as the water trick brought into her some stillness.

She held her friend’s hands thanking her for coming as she did not know what she could have done to herself.

Crystal paying close attention to her friend told her not to worry as everything was going to be fine and she was there with her.

Georgia was aware that amongst all her friends, she and Crystal shared a stronger bond, and what she loved most about her was that she was not self-righteous like the others.

Crystal could never judge someone from their mistakes and past but would rather listen to them, while they let out all of their anger and frustration.

She was one of a kind, as she always helped her friend with matters concerning relationships when she was not in a couple with anyone, nor did she have any relationship experience on her own.

“I am so sorry for disturbing you Crystal but my heart is heavy and if you had wasted any more time, I would have done something so stupid”, Georgia went on.

Crystal was getting impatient already as Georgia kept on turning around the same point whereas she was not saying anything apart from apologies.

“Tell me what is going on instantly or I will start eating my meal before I die of hunger here”, Crystal spoke out looking at the omelet that Mirabelle had brought for her and they were looking so delicious that she could not resist them long.

Getting up from her bed and stepping down to sit on the couch, she wore a sad look asking her friend if she had been a bad girlfriend to Jake, but Crystal not being able to understand what the connection was between her question and what she said Jake had done to her, answered with a question,

” Defending yourself, will you consider that you have been a good girlfriend to him?”.

Georgia turned with a long stare that freaked Crystal out and she was forced to apologize immediately, asking her friend to forgive her if she had spoken one’s mind that is not true.

Crystal drew in a breath of fresh air when she noticed that Georgia was not glancing at her anymore,

“Crystal you have to be very careful with what you say if not your friend might kill you”, she said to herself lifting the plate that had been kept on the little table beside her shank and sipping from her glass of juice, she began eating as she could not withstand the hunger in her system for another minute.

Georgia who had been turning in the room spoke up with a hard voice,

” Jake had the nerve to cheat on me with his ex-girlfriend”.
