Vannette was rushing in for work as she woke up late . She was trying hard to figure out who Derick was , but alas ! She could not. Thus, she decided to ask him herself , after work though .
She bumped into Oliver just then , " Oh sorry ... Oh it's you , Mr .... " , He still hadn't told her his name . " Oliver , actually,it's Mr Oliver to you . "
" Oh, I will call you Mr Ollie at work and then off working hours , I will call you Ollie . See you when I see you , I have work now ! " , Vannette immediately dashed out , and headed for the hotel's kitchen .
" She is so strange but in a most pleasing way . " , He said to no one in particular , before heading for his office .

Vannette was done and on her way back to the bakery . Finally, she was there and the driver took a different route , so she had to pass the back of the bakery, therefore, entering the kitchen directly .
" Sissy , you won't believe the pretty woman Derick came with ! " , Naya said teasing Vanny .
" Woman ? " , Vannette by this time, was already breaking .
" Yeah ! Hottie with a body . " , Maya chimed in .
Vannette walked out of the kitchen , and she gasped as she actually confirmed her insecurities .
She was a dark skin , with black afro , her nose pointed , her eyes brown , infact a melanin poppin .
" Hmph... Maybe , he is into black women now . " , Vannette shrugged but deep down she was hurt , to an extent . She looked at the girl with depressed eyes .
Maya who was still observing took her note pad and jotted it down on her notepad , " Now , the story sums up , kinda . " , She walked up to her sister , Vannette and patted her sister's left shoulder .
" You know you want to talk with him , talk with him . At least , for old friends sake . " , Maya shrugged and looked at Derick and his ' date ' laughing happily , the girl even gave Derick a peck , Maya glanced at her sister again and headed for the kitchen .
Vannette thought for a while and walked to where Derick was seated . " I hope you two are enjoying the pastries , do spread the news about our bakery . " , Vannette smiled at them . " Yeah yeah, Derick and I were just talking about how good you are at baking . "
" Good to hear that . " , She was about to turn around , when Derick held her , " Meet Ivy , she is new in town and , we have a lot of things in common and we are already bonding greatly , Ivy , meet Van~ . " , Vannette aggressively removed his hand from her's and left , cutting him short .
" Jealous girlfriend ? " , Ivy laughed softly , " She isn't my girlfriend ... She is my best friend , actually . "
" Hahahaha hahahaha . " , Ivy burst of out laughing , she continued , " Are you so blind that you cannot see the crystal handwriting on the wall ? "
" Where are you heading ? , Hit the nail by the head already , and stop beating around the bush . " , Derick got inpatient , for some reason , Vannette was angry at him , it saddened him , to the ribs .
" Okay fine , you both want the other to be happy . " , Seeing Derick's frowned lips, she laughed . " She wants you to be happy huh ? , But deep down , she wants to be the cause of your laughter and smiles , she obviously has feelings for you . " , She continued , after a suspended pause , " Let a girl spell it out for you , She is jealous because , she has feelings for you Roderick ! "
Derick was digesting what she had just told him , " Vannette likes me ? , Ivy you are wrong , Vannette is too busy , she doesn't give a damn about relationships . Although , she has a thing for handsome men , but no . She has ambitions . She is ambitious , She is Vanbitious .
