Chapter 500: Sincerity

Jennifer marched out from her agency building with a sullen face. Mr. Carlson, the head of the True Artist Agency summoned her this morning and warned her to keep a distance from all her fellow co-stars, especially Ashley, whom she supposed to have some kind of resentment.

Jennifer couldn’t believe she would get lectured by her boss. She learned that someone from the team complained about her misbehavior with Ashley, but she wasn’t a fool to never understand who that someone was.

Sprinting towards her car, she breathed heavenly, trying to calm her anger. "Ah..." slamming her palm on the window, she flared with burning rage in her eyes and cursed, "You dare to pick a fight with me, Ashley"

Jennifer’s manager flinched at the sight of her maniac state and remained tongue-tied. She wanted Mia to be here with her because she feared getting targeted by her boss if she happened to utter a word.

But Mia was nowhere to be found. She was not even picking up her calls. ’Where are you Mia..’ the lady cried silently eyeing Jennifer from a distance.

Dropping her head down, Jennifer tried to calm herself down, and when she somehow found some breather, she turned around and hopped into her car.

"Let’s go" she ordered before shutting the door, startling the poor girl to quickly walk on her feet, following her silently.

"Good to hear that. I hope from today onwards your artist won’t cause any trouble for my wife" Tristan answered on the call before hanging it up and turned to his side.

Lying on the bed, Ashley stared at her husband and asked," Are you happy now that you have gotten rid of Jennifer" Her eyes moved all over his face as she watched him join her back to bed.

"No, not yet," he said making her frown.

"Why, do you still doubt her" she asked propping her head on the palm as she turned to face him.

Tristan let out a deep breath and bobbed his head in agreement. " You think warning her is enough when she dares to sabotage your image that too using Mia." his words confused her.

"Have you still not understood?" he asked.

When Ashley didn’t answer he reached his hand out and pulled her closer to him, making her head rest on his chest, and said," They both have been offended by you in the past. With Mia, it cost her, her career but Jennifer, she considers you a threat who would take over her position soon and to stop that, she is using all means to get you down"

Tristan’s words slowly seep into her mind and her eyes widen in bewilderment. Ashley might never consider her intention, because they were all lame but what if behind this long silence, she is planning something big?

"You are right, how could I ignore how much they both hate me, more than Jane" she stated and watched him nod in response.

"And I am sure after today, she would try to do something. All we have to do is take advantage of the situation" Tristan said meaningfully, looking down at Ashley.

Curling her lips upward, she smiled and soon leaned forward to kiss him. It was a kiss of affirmation that she would do as he wished. She would never doubt his intentions towards her even if they are twisted at times and she found them humbling.

Pulling back, Tristan rubbed the tip of their nose and said," I won’t let anyone harm you Ash" he promised, slowly opening his eyes.

Those blue orbs shone with determination, conveying his deep determination for her.

"I know" came her response and they once again sealed their lips.

It was slow in the beginning but soon things got heated between the two with Tristan hovering over her with a swift turn.

Pulling away, he breathlessly asked," A quickie," he asked and watched her give him a nod.

With a sluggish smile curling over his lips, Tristan dives right into her mouth, sliding his tongue deep, hungrily.

[Gabriel’s House]

Bianca sighed in relief after she managed to convince her father that she was fine and had been working day and night for the past week. But little did she know, her father was aware that his daughter had been missing from work for days.

"I hope he doesn’t come to check on me as he said earlier" Bianca lamented recalling her father’s words from before.

When he reasoned with her about her absence, she did lie to him, but the words he threw next made her fumble on her answer.

"Then let me come to meet you"

Those words from him left her worried but she quickly gathered her thoughts and politely declined him. To make sure he wouldn’t doubt her, she even sent him a photo of the room she was staying in, making sure that proof was enough.

"It seems he is finally convinced" she assured herself after Austin didn’t question her further.

Now that she had finally talked with her father, Bianca felt at ease. But then suddenly Riel’s face popped into her mind and she mumbled, " Should I treat him for his kindness" This thought suddenly popped into her.

It had been four days since he recused her from that abandoned road and also extended his support. In return for his kindness, treating him was the only thing she could do for now but...She paused realizing she didn’t have her wallet with her and all her wish flew out from the window.

The light on her face dimmed but soon another thought popped into her mind and she squealed excitedly.

"How about I cook for him instead" she chirped enthusiastically.

Bianca had never cooked in her entire life, but for Gabriel, she was ready to do anything. She just wanted to show him her sincerity.

"Sigh.. you can do it" she encouraged herself. Cutting vegetables was just like surgery where she had to precisely chop the ingredients and cook them.

"Yes, you can do it" With one last encouragement, Bianca walked out of her room.

After an entire day shoot, Gabriel drove back home. After checking up on Bianca in the morning though Janet, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Gabriel regretted raising his voice on her the other day, but whatever happened between them today, he started doubting himself. His always calculative and focused thoughts started to sway because of her tears.

It was something he never experience within himself for a long time. His life was never simple and after Sandra faked her death, he ended up bottling all his emotions throwing them away. All he wanted was a revenge but now that his life was returning to normal, all those bottle up emotions were popping out of nowhere.

He was unbelievable, but deep down he finally felt alive.

Gabriel found it unusual, but Bianca managed to stir those emotion in him. He had long given up on love, because they never found it’s way to him. He was satisfied on living a life alone, but something inside him stopped him from thinking so...

"Was it because it’s been so long that I opened to someone or it’s just a sympathy I have for that girl" those words he had been asking himself since last night, but wasn’t able to decide.

"No, it can only be sympathy" he said shaking all those fleeting thoughts that have been occupying his mind, concluding a firm decision.

Stopping his car in front of the house, Gabriel then walked inside. He was supposed to be heading straight to him room but his stepped halted when he hear a loud voice of vessel falling and his legs moved towards the kitchen on it’s own.

Gabriel never intended to check on his servants because they were perfect with whatever they do, but tonight, something seemed off.

As soon as he reached the kitchen area, he noticed a few maid standing outside the door frame and along with them was the chief of the house.

The moment they saw Gabriel, their head instantly hung low as of they were regretted their actions and were ready to get scold by him.

"What’s happening here?" ignoring all their fearful faces, he asked moving his eyes around before turning his head towards the door.

Janet who stood among the other servants, decided to speak when...

THUD!

Both Gabriel and Janet rushed towards the kitchen followed by other, but it was their boss who barged in terror.

The moment he entered inside his steps stopped midway and his eyes widen in shock watching Bianca cook inside the kitchen.

The entire area was messed, with everything scattered around.

"Doctor, what are you doing here?" he asked staring at the women who kneeled down on the floor in defeat, looking at the art she created.

Gabriel understood what was she trying to do, but what confused him was why.. why would she step inside when she didn’t know how to cook.
