Purple Romance
Chapter 79: 79 I'm Praising you for knowing how to pick a man.
''Follow me'' Kobby said and looked at her before walking towards the stairs closer to the wards.
Calia lowered her head when they got to the stairs. She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt and bit her lips.
''What do you want to say?'' Kobby asked her.
''I'm sorry. I didn't mean those words. I just blurted them out without knowing. I apologise for saying that to you?'' Calia said.
''What exactly are you sorry for? The fact that you said I was an emotionless man or the fact that you said it was none of my business whether you were sick or not?'' Kobby asked and looked at her.
''Wow...you really do hold grudges. Both. I'm sorry for both'' Calia said while still keeping her gaze down.
Kobby sighed and put his hands inside his pants pockets. He looked at her saying ''why are you not looking at me?''
''I…'' Calia looked at him and noticed he had moved closer to her. She was leaning on the bars of the stairs.
''I am not an emotionless man. I am just a man who is careful about developing feelings for people easily. I don't develop feelings fast for people but it doesn't mean I treat people's emotions as nothing''.
''Huh?'' Calia blushed and looked at him. Was he explaining himself to her?
''You said I treated you as if you were cheap even after knowing about your feelings for me? No, I didn't treat you that way. Neither did I see you as a cheap woman. You said you liked me? I am not as perfect as you think. I have so many flaws and when you get to know me, you might not see me as impressive as you thought''.
''Let me be the one to judge. Let me be the one to decide that? I am not such a superficial person who only looks at the physical appearance of a person first, though that is what got my attention first'' Calia said the last words softly.
''Really? So, you admit I am handsome and you find me attractive?'' Kobby asked coyly.
''Yes, I do. Can't I do that?'' Calia asked.
''You can. Not bad. Your eyes really know how to pick good things'' Kobby said and Calia looked at him.
''Wait. Are you praising yourself right now? Or are you praising me for having good eyes?'' Calia asked.
''I am praising you for knowing how to pick a man. Fine, I will give you a chance. I don't find you disgusting but it doesn't mean I have feelings for you. I will give you a month. If you can make me fall for you in a month, I will date you'' Kobby said to her and smiled. Calia felt her heartbeat increasing as she looked at him.
''A month?'' She stuttered.
''Yes, a month. Are you up to the task?'' Kobby looked at her daringly.
''Yes, I am up to the task. I will make you confess to me in a month. Just you wait and see, Kobby Brian'' Calia said optimistically.
''Okay, I will be waiting to see what tricks you will perform?'' Kobby said and turned to go and heard her saying.
''That one month, it starts from today, right?'' Calia asked and he turned back and looked at her.
''What do you think, Miss Banks?'' Kobby asked.
''Okay, since it starts from today, if I let you go without doing something, then I will be losing out'' Calia said and took a step closer to Kobby. Kobby didn't step back; he was curious about what she wanted to do.
Calia stared at his lips for a while and smacked her lips on to his. Just like that, she touched his lips with hers and looked at him saying ''that's my first kiss, Kobby Brian. Let's go deeper when we start dating in a month's time'' Calia said and left the stairs hurriedly.
Kobby touched his lips as he leaned against the bars. His face flushed and he chuckled. He couldn't believe what just happened. He licked his lips subconsciously and sighed ''she is a dangerous woman. She said that was her first kiss?'' Kobby looked at the door and shook his head before leaving.
...…..
Calia leaned against the elevator and touched her beating heart. She was alone in the elevator. She blushed and thought about what she did and covered her mouth.
She somewhat felt excitement from her actions. She thought about the flustered look on Kobby's face and felt jittery suddenly. She bit her lips and couldn't hide her smile.
Calia clapped her hands and squalled around inside the elevator ''what do I do? I feel so happy. Calm down, Calia. You need to start thinking of 101 ways to seduce Mr. Arrogant!! Ah. Kobby Brian, you are mine. My man''
The elevator dinged and opened and some two nurses entered. Calia composed and calmed herself. She turned back to looking aloof standing at the back. The two nurses seemed to recognise her and started murmuring to each other.
''Isn't she the woman Dr. Brian carried to his office the other time?''
''Yes, she is the one''
''She is really pretty. She is so lucky. Dr. Brian is the star doctor of our department''.
''I know, right? I guess they are really dating. She even came to see him. I'm so jealous''
''Why are you jealous? You should also find yourself a boyfriend if you are that jealous''
Their chatting went on and Calia listened as she acted completely unaware. She was rejoicing internally.
It was good that the rumour of them spread wide. That way, no one would compete with her for the heart of the man she loved.
Calia got out of the elevator and was about to return towards Maria's ward when her phone buzzed. She removed it and answered.
''Hello, Marvel, what is it?''
''Miss, you need to come to the office immediately. Model Rihan just called and said she had arrived from the airport was coming straight to the company to have a look at the designs we have'' Marvel said on the phone.
''Model Rihan? Is she the one my aunt specially requested for assistance from Badmos? That famous model?'' Calia asked as she turned back and entered the elevator.
''Yes, Miss. You should hurry up. She is extremely popular right now. Having her model our jewellery is going to guarantee a huge success'' Marvel said.
''Okay, I will be there immediately. Prepare everything and wait for my arrival''. Calia said and hung up. She pressed the ground floor and went down.
Calia hurried back to her office and when she arrived, she met Marvel outside their floor elevator.
''Miss, you are finally here?'' Marvel said.
''Where is she?'' Calia asked and removed her sunglasses.
''She just arrived a few minutes ago. she is in the showroom now having a look at the jewellery'' Marvel led Calia towards the show room as they chatted.
''Okay''
SHOW ROOM.
A beautiful woman with slender features and a unique aura stood tall inside the showroom looking at a particular anklet.
She wore a long cut to the knee velvet back stripped dress and it fitted well with her beautiful skin. She was the current hottest model in Cosmos and Badmos. Her amazing style of modelling had earned her the name 'snake'. She was always focused, swift and had right timing.
As if sensing a gaze on her, she turned and looked at the door with a smile on her face when she saw Calia. ''Hi, Miss Banks, right?''
''Yes, Miss Rihan, welcome to Cosmos town'' Calia stepped forward and greeted her. They shook hands before turning to look at the anklet in the glass case.
''Your jewellery designs are unique and refreshing. Especially this anklet. It calls out to you without even speaking out. The moon connecting the ends together is a pretty good way to showcase the beauty of it especially when wore around the ankle and paired with the right heels. I really love it'' Rihan praised Calia's work.
''You are right. I especially love this anklet because I designed it while thinking of someone. It was impromptu but after finishing and having it out, I realised it was a beautiful idea. That person gave me the inspiration to do that'' Calia said as she thought of the little girl she met a month ago. She felt sad for not keeping her promise to go and see her again because of her busy schedule.
''Is it someone you like? This person?'' Miss Rihan asked with interest.
''Maybe, she is someone I met by coincidence and haven't been able to get her out of my mind since then'' Calia said.
''I didn't know you were a ….?" Miss Rihan didn't finish her sentence but Calia caught on to it and shook her head.
''No, she is just a little girl I met at a school. She is probably 8 years and I am very straight'' Calia said to her and they both laughed.
''I see. When Mona Lisa asked me to come and model your jewellery, I was sceptical at first but after meeting you, all my doubts are cleared. I hope to work with you because your jewellery speaks to me. So, I hope that we will have a good working time together, Miss Banks'' Miss Rihan said.
