Chapter 17_ Are you his mum?
Xander narrowed his eyes at his buddy who didn’t seem to get what he was trying to point out here, for all he knew this lady here might be the one he was actually searching for..
“She is…
Olivia’s phone rang out cutting off Xander’s speech, she moved a few metres away from them before she screamed out..
“What?!”
Bianca sighed at the other end too with a hand on her forehead, like every other day Kelvin pulls off stunts like this..
“He said he was on his way to find you a nice looking man because you were working way too much”
Olivia’s jaw dropped, well where does her little boy know in L. A? he will eventually get lost in the big city..
“I’m coming right away!”
Damien raised a brow on hearing her outburst, no matter what sought of emergency it was, he wasn’t going to let her leave..
She raised her head up to Damien and sent him an apologetic look..
“Please boss.. I’ll be back in a hour.. an emergency just popped up..
Damien placed both hands into his pocket with a loud scoff..
“No matter the emergency.. this is work hours and you’re not allowed to leave!” He warned sternly with a smirk..
The door was suddenly pushed open as a man in black suit walked in, he seemed to be in a hurry..
“Boss I’ve gotten everything you asked for.. and there’s something you should know.. Mrs Sterling is currently at a mall having a heated argument with the lady of the Browns!”
Damien’s brows creased, lady of the Browns? that was Rihanna’s mum..
He collected the envelope and threw it at his desk before heading out with the guard, Olivia was left speechless..
Xander sent her a meaningful gaze which she got and hurried out of the office..
***
In less than thirty minutes Damien was already at the Mall, he noticed a little crowd ahead of him which made him sigh..
“Young master”
Everywhere suddenly fell quiet as he walked to their midst, his collected gaze rested on his mum who puffed her cheeks proudly..
“Mum, what is going on?”
Anita pointed to a lady opposite her, who was being held back by some people..
“She started it, she snatched the lipstick I badly wanted to get!”
Damien breathed out exasperatedly pinching the space between his brows, he was aware of the bad blood between Mrs brown and his mum, whenever their path crosses, there’s bound to be a fight between them..
“Listen to yourself Anita! you’re actually fighting for a lipstick! why don’t you just let me have it?” Tracy, Mrs Brown and also Rihanna’s mother yelled out like a freak..
Anita smiled and gave a firm nod “Yeah, you can keep it! or better still give it to your ugly daughter! just let her know that whatever she does, she’ll never be a part of the Sterlings! hmph!”
After pouring her mind out, she held Damien by his arm and started walking away, from a distance she could hear Tracy cursing at her, but she couldn’t care less as long as she already said what was on her mind!.
Once they were out of the Mall, Damien shot his mum a look, it was a bit funny seeing her seeth in anger, but the truth remained that they were a reputable family and things like this should be avoided..
“Don’t give me that look son! she deserved every little bit of the things I said to her!”
“Mum! you’re even willing to fight for a lipstick? I can’t believe that you’d actually do a thing like this!” Damien scolded and to his surprise she started sobbing pounding his chest gently..
“I knew it! you don’t love me anymore, you’ve grown so much to treat your mother like this, I feel like ending it all right now”
Damien released a deep breath and pulled her into his embrace, sometimes he wondered what really made his dad fall for a dramatic woman like herself..
When things don’t go her way, she sheds tears to blackmail you into doing it which could be frustrating at times..
“It’s okay mum.. as long as you promise not to do something like this anymore”
“Yes, as long as you break your engagement with that sassy and ill mannered daughter of the Browns!”
Damien sighed and opened the car’s door for his mum to get in, he was already fed up with her constant blackmails and there was one thing he was sure of, she didn’t know how to differentiate the ill mannered ladies from the good ones..NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Get in” he murmured and was relieved to see her getting into the car as per his request, he was just about to get into the car when he felt a tug on his pants..
His thick brows furrowed as he turned to see who it was, however, the moment he did, his eyes widened in surprise, shock, and disbelief..
The little boy before him blinked his grey orbs cutely with a small smile..
“Mister, do you need a wife?”
Damien’s guards were also shocked by what they were seeing, was it their eyes or does this kid look like a mini version of their boss?..
Anita who was getting impatient sitting in the car stepped out and was about to scold Damien when her gaze fell on the little boy who had his back against her…
“Damien we have no time to waste, I had a pretty rough day and only a good massage can relieve me”
The little boy turned around to her and she was left speechless just like her son..
“Gracious! Damien what did you do?!”
Damien finally snapped out of his daze when he heard his mum speak..
“I’m as surprised as you are” Damien managed to say..
Kelvin turned back to Damien and stretched his little hand forward..
“I’m Kelvin nice to meet you”
Damien unconsciously accepted the handshake, he fell into a deep thought, could this also be a coincidence? he wasn’t the type of guy who sleeps around, so there was no way his assumptions might be correct..
“I have a mummy for sale, do you mind buying her? wait! I have her photo”
Kelvin pulled out a white piece of paper and handed it to Damien who snatched it like his life depended on it..
He opened the paper to find a childish sketch of a lady..
He was just about to ask a question when a lady suddenly called out to him from a distance..
“Kelvin?”
Damien and his mum diverted their attention to the lady who just called out to the boy..
Kelvin chuckled and hid behind Damien, he poked his head out a little and stuck his tongue out to her..
However Bianca had a frown on her face looking towards Damien who was also staring keenly at her..
Now she thought of it, this was the reason she found Kelvin’s looks a little bit familiar, she unconsciously took a look up and down between the two..
“Look! i told you I’ll find a daddy sooner or later, doesn’t he look like me?”
“Are you his mother?” Damien asked skeptically..
Bianca looked towards the man and her mind was clouded with various thoughts, was the famous Damien Sterling, the real father of Kelvin? if he was, wasn’t he engaged to the lady of the Browns few months back?
Her heart ached for her friend, who would be torn apart if eventually these rich family claims her child as their’s..
Without wasting any much time, she walked towards Damien and snatched Kelvin away before walking away..
“Hey miss stop!” Damien ordered and to his surprise she boarded a cab and left in such a hurry that only aroused his suspicion..
“Follow that cab!”
***
Olivia returned back to the office with a huge relief, she was glad that Kelvin was found by Bianca or else she’d have gone nuts by now..
She had to do something about Kelvin’s new found attitude, she had told him countless of times that they don’t need a man in the house but no! he was hellbent on finding a good match for her..
Her eyes naturally fell on Damien’s empty seat as soon as she stepped in..
Her greedy butt suddenly wondered how it would feel to sit on his chair..
A mischievous grin crawled up her lips as she made her way to the chair..
A soft soothing cry escaped her lips the moment she sank her butt deep into the comfy swivelling chair..
“So selfish of him! he uses such an exquisite material and over there he gave me a hard wood!”
Her eyes landed briefly on the table where she saw a brown colored file, she picked it up examining it for a while before her eyes caught something..
The smile that was originally on her face fell as soon as she flipped through it..
“That jerk! he did a background check on me!”
Her eyes fell on another page where Kelvin’s photo was hung and without wasting any second, she tore that page out..
“What are you doing?”
She raised her head up in shock when she heard the familiar bossy voice, how come she didn’t hear him walking in?
