Unexpected Love

Chapter 8

Bonny's Pov

I was feeling down, dejected and beaten down. I never knew today would be like this. First, Mable had to spoil my morning, then Amelia created chaos that was not needed and, thanks to my hubby, I left with my dignity intact. I walked out of the mall and saw George coming out of the car. I guess he had already seen me coming. He opened the door and I got in.

" Where to Mrs Dawson?"

" Home please," I sighed as I closed my eyes, calming myself down. All the emotions that were trying to be suppressed were now coming out, one lone tear dropped, and I just let them flow, sobbing and sniffling. I cried for a while, and was starting to drift off to sleep when the car came to a stop and I realized we were home. I got into the house and all I wanted to do was to escape any drama. I didn't want to have another run down with Mable, so I decided to head to the bedroom and when I got to the room and my eyes landed on the bed in the middle of the room, all I ever wanted was to climb on it as it was calling for my body to lay on it, drowning all my sorrows on it. I didn't even think about changing my dress, I just lay on the bed as sleep took over.

By the time I woke up, it was morning. I slept throughout the night without waking up, and I realized that I was wearing a blanket, yet I remember going to bed without it. I guess my dear husband came back and didn't bother waking me up. I got up, headed to the bedroom, took a quick shower and got dressed in a green dress that I picked up yesterday. My mind drifted to yesterday's events, quickly dismissing the thought as I looked in the closet, checking out all sorts of clothes that were hung and all the designer handbags. I decided to grab a matching Chanel handbag with black heels and head downstairs.

I had thought Bradley had already gone to work but was surprised when I saw him at the breakfast table waiting for me to eat with him.

The table was spread out with all sorts of food. It was like a breakfast feast but meant for two people. What a waste. All the delicious food that was on the table she hardly ate as she couldn't even afford to have such fancy food in her life.

" Good morning"

"Morning," he responds without looking up. I just sat opposite him, picked up a glass and filled it with milk and started to drink. My phone started to ring, and I frowned, looking at whom the caller was, the person I despised at that very moment. Why would he call it disturbing the peaceful silence I had found myself in?

" what's wrong"

Bradley asked, seeing the change in my face as he raised his eyes to me.

" A phone call I didn't want to answer."

Even though I didn't want to speak to him, I answered the phone as it kept ringing non-stop.

" What?"

"How could you be so cruel to your sister, humiliating her like that, and what is all this nonsense that I hear about you being married so all along you have been cheating on me, how shameless of you?"

"You are the most stupid person I have ever known, and you are actually smug about picking up trash. You can believe all the trash she feeds you with, but never underestimate me, but then, good luck, you deserve each other after all and one more thing: never call me again."

I hang up the phone and put my phone aside as I dish up my food and start eating.

When I raised my head from the plate I was eating, I found Bradley looking at me and I raised an eyebrow at him.

" How do you plan on getting back at them? "

He suddenly asked, and I was quiet for some time.

" Honestly speaking, I haven't thought about that, but one thing is for sure: they won't be too happy in their lives."

He didn't say anything else but just drank his coffee in silence. After breakfast, I decided to clear the table and prepare to go for my interview. Bradley was also about to go, and he wanted to take me to the company and instructed George to follow after a while to come and pick me up after my interview.

When we got to The Grand Production, I got off, but before I could leave, he held my hand and said,

" If you ever need help in dealing with those people, do remember I'm just a phone call away."

"Alright thank you, I will remember that."

I gave him a small smile and hurried into the company building, getting to the reception and found a young lady who gave me a smile.

" Hello, my name is Bonny. I'm here for my 10am interview."

I greeted her as I gave her a smile.

"Oh hello dear, I am Mary. Interviews are being held on the second floor. You can head in there, my dear, others are also waiting there and good luck."

She smiled back. I headed to the elevator, got in and pressed to the second floor and waited. Once it reached the floor, I got out, and I saw other girls waiting as well. I guess they are also here for the interview. I took an empty chair sitting beside them as I smiled, but others just glared at me, looking me up and down and surveying my appearance. I held my bag in my lap waiting to be called. After a while, my name was called, and I went in. The interview went so smoothly as we finished, and they told us to wait in the conference room. I got myself a corner as I felt other ladies were not that friendly.

" Hello, the name is Mandy and are you?"

" Oh hey I'm Bonny."

" Sorry to be so forward. I've been watching you, and you seem to be nice. I would like to be your friend whether we get the job or not."

She says and I look at her skeptically.

" What makes you think that I'm nice? I might be a bad person and a serial killer for that matter. "

" Nah, a bad person with bad intentions would have been too forward not to keep herself in the corner away from other people. "

"I see I'm just in no place to make friends right now."

She just smiled at me.

" I understand we all pass through heartbreak, and sometimes we are hurt by people who are close to us. It might be difficult to trust again, but before you judge or reject it, do get to know me first and after that you will be able to decide if I'm worth it or not. "

I just smiled at her. As we were silent, the lady that was part of the panel that was interviewing us came in together with some guy. He looked rich. Perhaps he was the boss just by the way he looked.

" Good afternoon, sorry to have kept you this long. The panel has made a decision. I will be calling names and these people will be part of the marketing team, and the second group will be part of production and the last will be assistants and secretaries."

She started calling names by names and the first and the second groups were called, and my name was not called. When she started calling the secretaries, my name was called, and I was going to be the Ceo's secretary and Mandy was also called to be one of the assistants.

" I guess fate has it that we are placed in the same department."

" I guess so, I believe we will be seeing more of each other."

They gave us instructions and told us to report working the next morning as there was a big launch that was coming, and it needed everyone on board. I was excited when we were leaving. Mandy and I exchanged numbers, and we headed out. I found George waiting as he opened the door for me. The other girls were looking at me and I could tell I would be hearing their comments tomorrow.
