“Can’t you be more serious?” Gianna was shy because of what Kingsley called her.
This man can say anything without feeling guilt or shame.
Gianna had even heard Kingsley calling people ‘babe’.
Gianna said she didn’t mind.
After all, they were eyeing the greater benefits.
“Did you misunderstand the difference between being serious or not?” Gianna loved the way Kingsley talked when he was smiling. It made his voice sounded pleasing.
Gianna frowned.
Kingsley was still smiling, “I’ll let you know next time.”
“Kingsley,” Gianna called Kingsley’s name before he hung up the phone.
“Yes?”
“Don’t forget our date tomorrow.”
“I’ll be there as long as you’ll be there.”
It sounded like Kingsley was giving Gianna a commitment.
Gianna replied without thinking much, “See you tomorrow.”
“See you.”
Gianna hung up the phone.
The next second, the phone rang again.
Gianna’s expression changed. She took the call, “Caesar.”
“Bernice told me that you beat her up,” Caesar said in an interrogative tone after Gianna’s picked up the phone.
Gianna could hear Bernice’s voice over the phone saying, “And Maureen. I have aches all over. Caesar, you have to stand up for me.”
Gianna replied coldly, “Caesar, you’ve known me for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? When did you ever see me beaten up anybody?”
Caesar was stunned.
He didn’t know how to answer Gianna’s question.
“Ask yourself. Haven’t I treat your sister well enough? When did I not helping her or give her what she wanted? If I didn’t stop Maureen when we’re in school, they ought to fight for the hundredth time by now. And now you’re questioning me? How do you want me to answer you?”
Gianna sounded livid.
Caesar remained silent.
“I have nothing to say if you trust your sister more. You’re free to believe what you want to,” Gianna wanted to hang up the phone.
“Gina,” Caesar could feel Gianna’s fury over the phone. He quickly stopped her from hanging up the phone, “It’s not what you think. Bernice came home with wounds on her face. I feel sorry for her. I know who you are. You wouldn’t have beaten Bernice.”
“Caesar, it’s real. Gianna and Maureen attacked me. How else would I get hurt? It was her!” Bernice was screaming over the phone.
“Enough. Gianna won’t do that to you. Shut your mouth,” Caesar scolded Bernice.
“It’s her. Caesar, I’m telling you. It’s her! Why didn’t you believe me?” Bernice was triggered.
Gianna said coldly, “Well, I didn’t stop Maureen.”
Caesar fed up having Bernice screaming beside him.
He walked to a quieter corner, “Why didn’t you? You know Bernice couldn’t stand feeling offended.”
Caesar sounded like he was complaining.
Gianna sneered.
