Chapter 503: Do as I say

After concluding the meeting, Gabriel returned home. Parking his car in front of the house, he turned his head towards the passenger seat, eyeing the takeout bags resting securely on it.

Gabriel was ashamed of how rudely he had spoken with Bianca earlier. He thought she was trying to force herself into cooking just to repay him for the help. But it turned out she just wanted to apologize to him for her behavior by cooking delicious food for him.

He once again misunderstood her intentions and now as an expression of regret, he decided to bring something for her, something she liked the most.

Gabriel wasn’t a thoughtful person, but somehow he turned one for her.

Looking at the bags he let out a sigh and picked them up before stepping out of the car.

On his way to her room, Gabriel inquired whether Bianca had her dinner. Content with the response he finally stopped in front of her door and took a deep breath.

Gabriel felt his heart race with each passing second, but he knew he had to apologize for misunderstanding her.

He had done it before, he would do it now.

With that thought in mind, Gabriel raised his hand and knocked on the door. Anxious, he bit his lips waiting for her to open it, and when she did, he just couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.

Bianca who had just stepped out of the bathroom taking a shower, stood in front of him wearing a bathrobe. Her hair dripped while her wet eyelids fluttered staring at him in disbelief.

"Mr. Riel" she muttered, unable to look away from his handsome face which was now flushing red in embarrassment.

Bianca couldn’t understand the reason behind his astonished face until he looked away, shoving a bag in front of her.

"Here, this is for you," he said extending his hand while his head looked at the side.

Bianca blinked her eyes staring at the bag and then at Gabriel. She had no clue why he was avoiding her, but then her eyes fell on the logo of the bag he extended and her lips parted in surprise.

"Belgium chocolate from Leonidas..." Bianca almost screamed cupping her face, watching him bring her favorite dessert. Her eyes sparkled at his thoughtful gesture and she quickly reached out her hand to grab it but stopped, recalling the mistake she had made earlier.

Bianca wasn’t upset by his words. In fact, she was ashamed of herself for not being able to do such an easy job. She compared cooking with surgery assuming it to be as difficult but an interesting task to complete.

But she never thought, she would end up making a mess.

"I-I... I don’t want it" retreated her hand she lowered her head in shame.

Even after turning his kitchen upside down, he was still being generous with her, and she felt more regretful.

Gabriel turned to face her after she refused to take the bag from him and a deep frown marred his face as he asked," And why don’t you want it" his eyes observed her intently, assessing her behavior silently.

Gabriel thought she was upset with him which is why she refused to accept the desert. He could tell that she failed to see the sincerity in his gesture, but shouldn’t it be like this?

It was his stupid brain that failed to see her motives and now he couldn’t even bring himself to show her his genuineness.

Bianca chewed her lips nervously, before lifting her head and said," I know I made a mistake stepping into the kitchen without your permission and I am extremely sorry for destroying the food, but" she paused for a moment observing the seriousness, but still muster the courage to speak, "But... I... I just wanted to apologize for causing trouble to the other day. So please, don’t make me feel ashamed by being nice to me. I know I don’t deserve you kindness" she finally said and watching the seriousness of his eyes dim.

The crease between his brows cleared and he stared at her in amusement.

Gabriel never thought Bianca was still blaming herself for the mess she created inside the kitchen and even went on apologizing to him not once but twice.

The words she said felt like needles piercing through his heart, until he couldn’t handle them and said, "I am sorry"

".... "

Bianca blinked her eyes repeatedly, as she watched him with confusion.

"F-for what? " She asked the next moment.

Gabriel paused for a second but soon looked away from her round innocent eyes and clears his throat.

"Ahem... Janet told me you wanted to apologize, but instead I scolded you. So... I am sorry, please accept my apology" He said once again extending his hand, pointing at the bag.

Bianca couldn’t fathom her thoughts but when she realized he went all the way to bring her, her favorite dessert, she felt her bloom with joy.

Unknowingly a smile made it’s way to her lips and she slowly took the bag from his hand.

"T-thank you and please don’t say sorry. It should be me instead who’s should-" She tried to justify but he simply gave her a boring look, to which she immediately shut her mouth.

"Thank you" She whispered pursing her lips into thin line.

Now that he had apologized and even gave her the dessert bag, Gabriel had no intention on standing in front of her door.

It was still bothersome to behave out of your character and Gabriel couldn’t help but feel awkward to keep standing there watching her in the bathrobe.

Watching her busy looking inside the bag, Gabriel decided to leave.

"I... think, I should take my leave" He said scratching the back of his neck, still feeling the heat on his cheeks.

Bianca gave watching him turn and screamed, "Stop! " That word instantly made him halt his step and he looked back at her cluelessly.

"Would, you like to join" She hesitated for a second but asked giving him a sheepish smile.

[ Jennifer’s Apartment]

Sitting leisurely on the couch inside her living Hall, Jennifer played a random movie, enjoying her time alone.

An entire day passed and Mia had not returned home. She even refuse to show up on the set after their last night fight.

"Huh! What does she thinks, I would call her. No ways, let her on her ownown and starve in her house" She mumbled munching the popcorn in her hand.

Jennifer was feeling pleasant after taking with Sandra. She knew after whatever she did on the sets today, Tristan Knight would definitely pursue her boss to fire her, so she quickly came up with a back up plan, seeking help from her savior.

She knew after terminating the contract with True Artists Agency, she needs to find a sponsor who would provide her financially and Sandra was her only option.

With her identity kept hidden, she wouldn’t have to face any crisis for some time being.

Jennifer was aware that Tristan would boycott her from the entertainment world, so I order to secure her image she had to play the victims card until she manages to get sympathy from the audience.

She wanted to pressurize them by playing victim and once they had no way left, she would come back. More strong and powerful.

Jennifer was thinking way too far, and she knew this would help her gain immense fame, but for that she had to patient.

Busy enjoying her thoughts, Jennifer snapped out when she heard the screeching sound of the main door opening and her head flung into the direction where she saw Mia stepping inside the house.

At first she scoff watching her even returning home but then her eyes squinted when she approached her silently and stood in front of her.

Clueless, Jennifer watched Mia with an complicated look but the words she uttered next dropped her mouth.

"I am sorry. I shouldn’t have said those words" Mia’s words took Jennifer by surprise, and she dropped the bucket full of popcorn on her lap. "W-What did you say" She asked, still trying to grasp on the words she spoke.

Mia had her eyes fixed on the floor, slowly looked up and repeated, "I said I am sorry" Though she sounded apologetic but Jennifer didn’t failed to notice the insincerity in her voice.

Her eyes still held some kind of resentment toward her but since she took the initiative to come forward and accept her mistake, Jennifer soon forgive her.

"It’s okay, but make sure you don’t repeat those words again or else, there won’t be any next time" She warned and waved her hand motioning her to leave.

Jennifer didn’t wanted to spoil her mood by watching her least appealing face, so she asked her to excuse herself to which she silently obeyed, retreating herself from the living Hall.

Once Mia reached into her room, her face turned ugly and she balled her fist tightly.

’If you want to stay alive, then do as I say’s those were Tristan words which she could ignore, because she knew he was a man of his words and if she disagrees, he wouldn’t bat an eye to kill her.
