Chapter 862 Bianca & Clifford V
The next morning…
Clifford visited Bianca at her apartment early in the morning. They didn't meet last night as Bianca stayed with Olive in the hospital. Olive would also be discharged today. Her doctor friend arrived at around 10 pm. That's the time Bianca went back home.
"Why didn't you answer my call last night? You said we would have a meal together. But the moment I arrived at your apartment, it was closed." Clifford lamented to her, feeling worried.
Bianca just looked at Clifford silently. She didn't answer his call last night because she was afraid… afraid that he would know that they were in the hospital. She wondered if Clifford would have a change of heart once he found out that Olive was sick.
"Hey, are you okay? You don't look good." Clifford moved closer to her, cupping her face. Bianca looked flustered and distracted. He wondered what happened last night.
Bianca just smiled at him faintly before shaking her head. "I'm just fine. I'm sorry. An emergency happened last night so I went home. My mom got sick. But she's alright now." Bianca chose to lie. She didn't know how Clifford would react once he learned about Olive's condition.
"Sigh. I wish I could visit her today. But I have to leave for a business trip. I just dropped by to see you. I'm gonna miss you." Clifford hugged Bianca tightly.
"How long will you be gone?" Bianca asked him, hugging him back.
"Five days. But don't worry. I will call you every night." Clifford lifted her chin, giving her a peck on her lips.
Clifford was about to release her from his embrace when Bianca buried her body more into him, not letting go. She tightened her grip on his body.
Clifford didn't want to leave especially now that Bianca was acting like this.
"What's troubling you, Bi?" Clifford asked her worriedly.
"Nothing. It's just that… I'm gonna miss you too." Bianca responded which brought a smile on Clifford's face.
Without further ado, Clifford claimed her lips once again. This time he gave her a long passionate kiss that left them breathless.
"Just wait for me… Let's continue our dinner once I come back." Clifford was referring to the dinner last night. Bianca just nodded her head with a smile.
Hesitant to leave her, Clifford had no choice as his assistant, Dexter, was already calling him. They had to leave now as his flight would be in fifteen minutes.
"Do you wanna come with me to the airport?" 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
Bianca shook her head and said, "I don't. Because if I do, I might stop you from leaving."
Clifford let out a husky laugh upon hearing that. "I would love that."
"Stop it. Just go. You might get late with your flight!" Bianca pushed him towards the door.
"Okay. Just wait for me okay?"
"Yes, I will."
When Clifford left, Bianca clutched her chest. She didn't know if what she was doing was right. She was still thinking about Olive. Would it be unfair to her if she wanted to keep Clifford for herself?
*****
In the hospital, Olive was already awake. Her doctor friend was there. She already finished processing the things for Olive's discharge.
"What are you doing here, Olive? I told you to go back and continue your treatment abroad." Her doctor friend started to scold her but Olive just ignored her.
"Who brought me here?"
"It's Bianca. Clifford's girlfriend."
"How about Clifford? Did he come last night?" Olive was wondering if Bianca informed Clifford about what happened to her.
"No. He didn't come."
Olive clenched her fists. She thought Bianca would inform Clifford but she didn't.
"Bianca is selfish!" Olive mumbled through her gritted teeth.
Her doctor friend heaved a deep sigh. "What are you planning to do? Stop thinking about Clifford. Just focus on your treatment."
"I can't! You know that I can't live that long. This is my last wish." Olive chose to be stubborn.
"But Clifford already has a woman. He already has someone he loves. It's not right to separate them." Her doctor friend was against her idea.
"You are my friend. You should support me. If she can't give me, Clifford. Then I will just borrow him from her. Can't I do that? She can keep him once I'm gone." 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
"Don't say that… you are not going to die…"
"You are lying. If you can't support me… then just leave me alone." Olive yelled at her doctor friend.
The doctor didn't want to enrage Olive. She came out of her room, letting her calm down first. Olive's emotions were unstable. She could be emotional sometimes and she could easily get mad.
When she was left alone, Olive picked up her phone and called her agent.
"Where is Clifford?" Olive asked her agent right away.
"He has a business trip abroad. He will be staying in Country F for five days."
"Is Bianca with him?"
"No. Only his assistant is with him."
Olive's eyes sparkled in delight when she got that information. She planned on getting Clifford's schedule through Dexter. She would go to Country F to follow Clifford. She would seize this opportunity to get him back.
Without wasting any more time, Olive stood up and changed her clothes. She also booked a plane ticket to Country F.
She was in a hurry to leave the hospital. She asked her assistant to prepare her luggage and meet her at the airport.
Olive didn't inform her doctor friend because she knew that she would try to stop her. She could no longer care if what she was doing was right or wrong. All she wanted was to be happy with Clifford.
"Cliff, just wait for me. I will show you how much you mean to me. This time… I will not make a mistake. I will make you fall in love with me again." Olive mumbled to herself with so much conviction. She would do all means just to get him back.
Her actions and choices would affect Bianca's and Clifford's relationship in the coming days.
