**BEAUTY'S POV**
I didn't sleep well last night,apart from having these nightmares about my slim version
Sometimes it's like I was a totally different person, like a supermodel.
Maybe am just exaggerating this,and it can be because I think soo much of losing weight and all that feeling insecurity about my weight
added to it.
Then I think of him,sir Bruno,did he really mean all those words ,he said to me lastnight,he was terribly drunk so it's possible he said that because he was drunk.
I sighed deeply,then the alarm ranged for my midnight prayers,after saying the prayers,I tried not to be distracted,it's like my whole mind was occupied with him,fall asleep,it's no surprise to me that I dreamt of him.
The next morning,I woke up earlier than usual,dressed for work,I put on my office wear,and my shoes got ready to go,picked up my phone from the table then my notifications pop up sounded in my phone,I checked
"This week is our trip!"I snapped out suprised at how forgetful I
we always have this trip once every year, this year we are invited by the best fashion company in Colombia, for collaboration also we will visit Paris for fashion tour
I love their culture
I sighed, yesterday must have been the meeting but,I wasn't in that meeting
am so dead,Ferd will kill me
I quickly picked up my bag and rushed out
waved at cab ,the driver was on speed,he drove past me and reversed
He whined down the window
I leaned over
"Hathaway (KHF) company please"
"You know the price"
He replied and opened the car door
"Sure thanks"
I went in the car and shut the door ,he speed off
I got to the company,sam time with Bruno
His suitcase and others were collected by his assistant,his bodyguard followed him till the entrance
I sighed,paid the cab driver and went in
"Miss Beauty!!"
Someone screamed my name
I turned
Jessi walked towards me like the boss
"You owe me an explanation,and girl you re in trouble,a huge one"
I took her by the hand,we walked to my post
"Are we still going today?"
"Ofcourse,my fav city"
Just then Bruno walked towards us,I feel bothered,is he coming over to take to me,I have a lot to say to him too
"Jessi"
Jessi and I turned to him
"Yes Bruno"
"Can you help me out with some stuff please"
"Oh.."
She glanced at me
I faked a smile
"Sure Bruno"
"Thanks"
He replied and left
"That's odd,he never ask anyone for help except maybe you,I will take my chances"
She winked at me
"Goodluck,he is not really my type,what's so special about him anyway,why you all crazy for him,am over him"
"Really?"she asked surprised
"Ye...ah.."
I scratched my ear, nervously
"Oh I get it"
"What?"
"Nothing ...bae ...nothing"
She glanced at me and shook her head,then left for Bruno's office
I sat down ,sighed deeply
" everyone parked right?"Fred's assistant asked
"Let's go"the head of each department chorused
Three lucky newbies,best looking though,were selected to join the tour
Heading to enter our company's jet
I looked at Bruno,he was taken pictures with the staffs ,and fan girls
I tried not to give him so much attention
**BRUNO'S POV**
I got into the jet,the only seat that's free was the one behind beauty,I was grateful but shouldn't make it obvious to her
I asked someone I know will never seat near her
"Kathy can you switch seats with me"
"Hello no"
I smiled to myself and tried to seat
Beauty dropped her handbag on the seat and stopped me
"Emm sorry my friend will sit here"
She objected with a slight frown on her face
I didn't say a word,I was admiring her face with that frown,she's adorable
"Jessi!!"
She called out
"Yh baby I already got a seat,the pilot is dreamy,so I got to seat near him!!"
Jessi never disappoints
She looked helpless,aww!!!, quietly carried her handbag from the seat
"Gracias"
I replied and sat down
It's like we vowed not to talk to eachother,even when I was tempted to ,I was glad she isn't winning over me
It's getting dark
Most of our Co workers already doozing off
I felt a hand tapped me,I turned and looked
It's beauty,she fall asleep and mistakenly hit mw
"Sorry"she replied sleepily
"Don't touch me miss please"
"It wasn't intentional!"
She snapped annoyed
"I know just have to warn you, becareful next time, distance please"
She slowly adjusted to the extreme using her palm as the pillow
I almost chuckled out, seeing her nod like that, eachtime she would look around embarrassed
She adjusted herself on the seat and slept off
As soon as I get to know she's in it totally
I looked at her smiling unconditional
"Come on here I can't let you sleep like that"
I whispered and rested her head on my shoulder I pulled off my jacket and covered her
I already promised myself to wake up first and get my jacket off her before she question me
*******
We arrive at Paris
Really a big city
The lady who invited us
Was a fashion icon
She welcomed us at the airport
"You have the most beautiful African models"
She complimented
"We are honoured"
Ferd replied
We walked behind him
Beauty is really a sleepy head ,she's a definition of tired , others are excited about our arrival but she is so not impressed
I caught up with her
"Hey.."
She ignored yawning
Jessi noticed and paid attention to what I was about to say
"You paralyzed my arm last night you didn't even apologized,I warned you to adjust to the extreme"
"Which I did what exactly is your problem!!"
She said it with both anger and sobs
She looked like she can stab me
Everyone glanced at us
I swallowed hard and lead the way, even I have no idea where am going to,others followed
**JESSI'S POV**
Am missing something, something is definitely going on with these two,how ,when ,what can it be..,he was beauty's crush,did that crush get crushed?,well I will find out eventually,I just activated my detective mood
we got to her place,well I prefer the hotel ,She may be a fashionista but she got poor taste of houses,beauty adored the place,she looked totally impressed.
You are welcome to my paradise"
"It's so beautiful"beauty complimented.
"Para what now?..I said in my mind
"more like parasite
"Please manage the rooms,two people per room,I have no idea you are coming in large number"
"We can actually lodge in a hotel"
I suggested
"Sure with your own money"Ferd replied sarcastically,I are her my brows and glare at him ,worst C.E.O ever.
He turned to the lady
"We appreciate your help"
She smiled and left
"I will be with you Jessi"
I turned to me and smiled
I faked a smile then went over to Bruno
"Please let me be your roommate Bruno"I pleaded to Bruno, other girls joined her
"Ladies behave,Bruno is coming with me"Kathy said boldly
"Since all of you agreed to be with me,to avoid distractions,i think l should go with the person that don't what to be with me,right C.E.O?"
Bruno stated calmly
I was disappointed
"I think that's balanced,so the only person who isn't crazy about going with Bruno is beauty!"Fred replied
"What!!"we chorused
Why that devilish smile on Bruno's face
"Excuse me!!"
Beauty snapped absentmindedly in shock
"You lucky girl"
I replied sadly
"You are the only one who don't want to be with Bruno"
Fred's assistant cleared her
"No don't mind me ,I am crazy about Bruno, please let me go with him"
She ran to Bruno
"See I want to be with him like others"
"Sorry it's final am not a child I can see you are pretending,and may will be roommate with me"
I looked over to may,she seem comfortable with it,like what did you expect,Fred's toy,others selected their roomates ,at the end it was just me and Kathy left, before I could complain
"No way!!,am going to the hotel!! and am paying"
Kathy screamed out .
"Now that's a big relief"
I said out loud.
"We are here together so you have to do this with us, everyone can afford a hotel ,well except fatty and her friend,being roomates Isn't being friends, dismiss"Ferd instructed
Everyone carried their luggages into their rooms obediently.
"Dismiss"
I mimicked him, making a silly face at him.
"What are you?,village headmaster? mmmtcheww
"Hey if you come in, lock the door and and make sure to shower!!"
Kathy shouted from inside.
"Bitch there's going to be only one crazy lady in this room and I rule!!" I fired back,she's really irritating,I can't deal with her,I can't wait for this tour to end,I shook my head and looked back at beauty,She was standing in front of their room door, Bruno's in already our, room was opposite theirs.
She looked helpless,I thought she should be happy about this,I mean this is a dream come true for most ladies,she turned to me and our eyes met,that stare reminded me of the look she always put on her face whenever she want to plead to me for a favour,maybe this time ,she wants money to lodge in a hotel.
I quickly entered inside the room and slammed the door before she could utter a even word.
