23 CHAPTER TWENTY THREE THE ENVIOUS BIANCA GUILTY ONE

Richie followed Tolu and her family home from the police station, he apologised profusely that he was the reason they suffered this unjustified incarceration and punishment in the hands of Monica's father.

Tolu's father answered and Told him that it was not his fault, that destiny ordained it that they would go through that at that particular time.

With that understanding the parent left him and Tolu alone to have room to converse without hindrance because they knew they needed to talk about what just happened.

Tolu and Richie had a lengthy chat, Much of it was full of genuine heartfelt sorry from Richie over what Tolu and her parents suffered for him. After this they talked much about their office and he left.

All these periods, Tolu's friend Bianca scarcely comes to her place because she too has gotten a job, but she has heard of the good fortunes that came Tolu's way due to the risk she took in saving Richie, for they always talked on the phone.

Now, two months after the arrest issue, Richie showed up in Tolu's house unbidden, and coincidentally Bianca was around. This was the first time she would see Richie after the jungle justice issue that linked them, and it was the first time she would see him up close.

The moment they saw Richie disembarking from his car in front of Tolu's house and Bianca saw him, she was flustered and became light headed!

The flirty being in her stood up and was ready to impressed or woo his attention. While Riche was walking through the stair case, climbing to their floor, Bianca held Tolu and exclaimed, "God, this guy is a ten, he is so handsome that I will do anything to befriend him! " She turned before Tolu and asked, "I hope my dress is not ruffled, do I look okay?

Tolu answered her, " Bianca you have problem, I have told you before that you should not have high hopes about him, he is never in our league and he won't look at your side"

Bianca said, "You will be shocked today, you just watch how I will capture his heart, at least you don't have interest in him so I am free; and you must support my bid" The moment she said this, I said in me, "Who told you I don't have interest in him? I only will not demean myself to get attention of a man like you will do"

Just then Richie came to where they were on their balcony. He greeted them and asked Tolu about her parents and Tolu told him that her mom was in the sitting room. Hearing that, Richie left them, went inside and greet Tolu's mom.

After that he returned to them, Bianca was all over him all through, she flirted brazenly with him without shame!

She did not allowed Richie to have time to talk or do much with the person he came to see, but while she was busy tripping over him, Richie kept his eyes on Tolu all through.

Bianca saw clearly that Richie has his eyes set for Tolu, though Tolu was too innocent to see it, and Bianca knew this and was hell bent on exploring her ignorance of that reality. She was set in her heart to do anything to nail Richie.

While they chat, she eulogised him on behalf of Tolu, that Tolu told her how he has been like a good senior brother to her in their work place. She openly told him that she wished she would have a person like him as a boss who will look after her interest.

She flirted on and on in a way that irritated Tolu, and Tolu because of this gave even Richie distance while they were together, this infuriated Richie but he kept his cool and endured Bianca. At a point, Tolu pretended she wanted to get something inside and she excuse herself, she stayed away from them for a while so that Bianca could thoroughly have her way with him.

When she returned, Richie told her that he would be on his way, he went inside and said his good bye to her mom. When he came out and was ready to go, Bianca too said she would like to follow him so that she would not walked home on her legs while the opportunity of a ride was there for her.

Richie left and Bianca followed her. Later in the future, events revealed that Bianca actually followed Richie home that night and Richie had his way with her, but that is a story for another day.
