The billionaire's double twins

Chapter 5

"You know, contrary to the way she looks, she's quite a hard worker." Will said as he watch the crew doing the shot, it's being going on all day and he hadn't heard her complain, he had half expected her to protest by now.

"Yeah." Kyle agreed, "the crew is filled with nothing but praise for her, I thought she would be arrogant about it or grumpy but she hasn't stop smiling all day."

"Except when she looks at us." Ryan joined his friends, "is the shoot supposed to be this long?"

"They will be done soon, this is the last shots." Will replied.

"When will they do the plane shot?"

"Done with that." Kyle replied.

"Really?"

"Yeah, they did it after they where done with the morning shot at the hotel."

"Wait, she did everything in a day."

"Yeah."

"That's fast."

"Yeah, she's a natural." Will smiled.

"And an obedient students, she does exactly what the director asked of her."

Ryan and Will shared a look.

"She does follow instruction well, doesn't she?"

"Yeah." Kyle smiled not taking his eyes of Candice.

"Don't you just want to teach her a thing or two."

"There's a lot I could.... What?" he turned to his friends.

"Yeah, what were you thinking?"

"I wasn't..."

"You wouldn't, stay away from her." Ryan ordered.

He shrugged, "you know, when she's no longer annoyed, I could..."

"Do nothing." Will handed his coffee cup to him, "...don't even think about her, she's out of bound for you, okay?"

"Why, because she's friends with one of your f**k buddies?"

"Firstly, there aren't any f**k buddies, I don't like company in my bed, second..." He looked at Candice, "...she's a ten woman army, which I doubt you can take on."

Kyle turned away.

"Good, now let's plan for the holidays."

"You are going on a holiday?" Kyle turned to him.

"No, of course not, I was wondering what we intend to plan for Valentine's day."

"Aren't we fully booked..." Ryan turned.

"The competition is in October, whe have to keep our records till then but even so, our customers will expect an event, we always seem to do one every month, haven't you discuss with your team, yet?"

"No." Kyle shook his head, "it's didn't even come up."

"Well there's a suggestion popular mong the staff but I don't know if you are up to it, it's the best so far."

"Let's hear it." Will turned to Ryan.

A raffle draw."

"Haven't we done that before?"

"Yeah but this is different, the most enticing gift is a date."

"A date?"

"Yeah, 50 people gets to go on a date with the 50 most eligible bachelor in prideville."

"Who's Idea is this?" Will asked.

"I don't know, it was the most voted on and it's quite popular among the locals."

"Is the list just among the locals?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, but the ticket is for all."

"That's sounds nice, we could include the ladies too."

"Yeah."

"But where's the hitch?" Will asked.

"Huh?"

"You asked if we were are up to it, so let's here the catch."

"In the recently published new year journal, the list of the most successful bachelor and spinster are there."

"And we will be using that list?"

"Even better we don't need to do any research."

"Well, we were included in the list."

"Huh?"

"You rank number seven on the list." Kyle informed Will

"Seven... And Ryan?"

"Five."

"And you?"

"Three." he grinned.

"Idiot." Will chuckled "let's do it, it's just a date, how bad can it's be?"

"Okay then, you can work on the ladies and we will work on the men."

"And why is your work loads smaller." Kyle complained.

"Send any lady you can't charm to us."

"Fine, send the full draft to my email."

"They are rounding up." Kyle observed.

"Good, let's go say hi to Candice, she's been working hard all week."

"I can't believe I actually listened to you." Janice looked at the raffle tickets with her, "now I have to go on a date with your boss."

"Well that wasn't my thoughts, I intended to find you some other handsome dude but Ryan isn't that bad."

Janice sent her a look, "just a couple of weeks ago you wanted him dead for poisoning the kids."

"Poisoning is a bit too much, it was just a mistake, one anyone could have made, and his intention where pure, he wanted to apologize to them." She shrugged.

"Wow!" she looked at her, "The rate at which you change your mind..." She shook her head, "impresses me."

Candice grinned "it's true though, we've both made that mistake before, anyone who isn't familiar with kids couldn't have guessed."

"Whatever, I have no intention of going anywhere with him."

"Well it's pay back time, I had no intention to go with Kyle but you made me go, so it's your turn besides since I began my career last year, you deserve a night of being pampered and he dare not do anything less."

"I do not need to be pampered, I love every minute of being with them."

"I know." She cast her gaze down "but I feel indepted and guilt, towards you, you've barely had time for your career."

"I'm doing great?" Candice

"On YouTube, you could do better if you had the time to go meet the people, to feel the place."

"I'm not doing bad Candice and it will get better." she patted her arm and went to get herself a drink then she watched Candice from afar,

"Aren't you just feeling proud?" Shelby clicked her glass with hers.

"Can I?" she winked

"Please do, she's a far cry from the girl she was, she's a motivated and directed young lady, you will be stunned by what she will achieve."

She smiled, then looked at her, "I just wish she will open her heart again, she just a young child."

"So are you... And I don't see you in any man's arm."

"I..."

"She learns from you, if she's anything today, it's because she learnt it from you."

Candice grinned as she approached them, "and which secret where you sharing without me?"

"I was just telling Shelby I'll go on the date, if she dresses me up and stays home with you."

"Really?" Candice grinned, "yes." She turned to Shelby, "please say yes?"

"I'll miss on a great..."

"She said yes." Candice turned to her sister and hugged her.

"Now let's go find ourselves some great dance partner."

"...or go home, since I won't be with the kids tonight."

Candice dragged her to the dance floor, "after this dance."

"So you are saying, the girl that broke Ryan's heart a few years ago...is that girl."

"Yeah, I can't believe she's that shameless, how could she returned after leaving him for another man."

"But isn't she the model sister?"

"Which model."

"The face of the view."

"Candice?"

"Yeah."

"You are serious?"

"Yeah. Candice introduce us."

Janice opened the bathroom door suddenly, startling the two ladies who were discussing, they weren't aware of her presence in the stall, she washed her hand at the sink then dry it and walked away not bothering to acknowledge their presence.

"That her, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

"Oh god, we are so done for."

Janice returned to the lobby as she waited for Ryan, he had picked her earlier today for their date and... she was right, the only reason he had gone on a date with her, was too show off his wealth, she checked her time as she waited, it was 1 am

Fifteen minutes later Ryan walked in with his friends in tow, "I'm sorry I kept you waiting, it's took longer than planned." He had had to returned to the office due to an emergency and had brought her along rather than end their date abruptly.

"Yeah, I guessed as much." she turned to his friends, "hi guys."

"Hey." they waved.

"Should we go see a movie?" he picked his jacket from the chair where Janice had left it.

"No, I have to get home."

"What, no!" he exclaimed "we still haven't seen a movie."

'I guess we will never get the chance to." She shrugged, "it's a new day." she tapped her wrist watch "date's over."

"But... I..."

"What is it you want Ryan?" she looked at the empty room.

"I..."

She looked at Will, "what do you think he wants?"

Will looked away, "ignoring her."

"I just thought that..."

"I wouldn't want to leave, I'll love to stay with you, after you take me on the date of my dream, to see everything I've always wanted to see, to do things I've always wanted to do, what did you think will happen, I'll just happily fall into your arms again."

"I... I was just fulfilling my part of the deal, don't over rate yourself."

"No you weren't, you were trying to brag."

The friends exchanged looks.

"Excuse me, not everyone is like the losers you date, if not for the draw I wouldn't be here with you.'

"Nah." she shook her head, "I only dated one loser and he was you, and you are still the same loser." she removed a card from her pursed, "I did purchase a ticket but I never submitted it." she placed it in his hand, "so there was no way you could have picked me in the draw, so..." she gesture to her surroundings, "this show off, it's was a flop."

He bit his lips, "I used to think you aren't a liar but then... who was I kidding, lying has become such a great part of you, you don't even recognize the truth anymore." he scoffed "a flop?" he snickered, "I saw how happy you were, and I saw that look of regret when we went to the movie set and you called it a flop." he grinned "babe, you did regret leaving me like you did, I watched you today and I saw envy and regrets at all that could have been be yours." He moved closer slowly

Her face darted to Will and Kyle for help but they looked away, "What... What are you doing?" what did she expects, that he would deny it, no, his pride won't let him do it, she should have known better. She thought as she walked backwards slowly till she hit the wall.

He looked at her then scoffed, "I have no intention of kissing you, if that what you thought."

"I wasn't... I."

He slanted her a look

"I didn't." She pushed him away, "it's useless talking to you, would you dropped me home or do I have to find my way?"

He shrugged then took his seat.

She scoffed, "great."

"I'll drop you." Kyle volunteered.

"Thanks." she went along with Kyle.
