"Ladies, if you are done, you can leave for the pool now. I still need to discuss something with Calia'' Rihan said. The models quickly scurried out of the changing room. In the modelling industry, seniority was held high esteem just as every other job, so the models respected Rihan because she was their senior. ''Your assistant too, leave'' Rihan added.
Marvel looked at Calia worriedly and the latter nodded her head assuring her to leave them alone. When Marvel left, Calia folded her arms against her chest and looked at Rihan after everyone left.
''Tell me. What do you have to say that you needed everyone to leave first?'' Calia asked.
''Do you have the confidence to keep Kobby away from me?'' Rihan asked and Calia frowned find her question ridiculous.
''Wow, I really didn't want to have a cat fight with another woman because of a man but amazingly, anytime I meet you, you just manage to bring out the worse in me'' Calia said chicly and Rihan laughed.
''I could say the same thing about you. You pretend to be innocent and kind just to trap Kobby. How much do you know him? Kobby doesn't like virgins. Do you know that? What was it he used to say? Right, he used to say that they are clingy and expect too much from men''
''What do you want to say exactly? Go straight to the point and stop wasting my time. I still have things to do''
''What I want to say is that. apart from being a virgin who has never experience real love before, what exactly can you give to Kobby? I have known Kobby for the longest time and I know what he needs in his life. Men like him who are successful in their career are looking for one thing; a woman to satisfy their sexual needs because he already has a kid. Calia, you are still young and don't know the ways of this world. Men like Kobby have already experienced what love is and aren't looking for such a fleeting emotion. What he wants is not a woman in his life but someone who can satisfy him both sexually and at the same time take care of his daughter. Do you really want to waste your youth taking care of a kid that isn't even yours?'' Rihan sat in front of the mirror and started combing her hair after speaking.
Calia closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. she was trying her best not to harm Rihan at that moment.
''I understand that he is your first love and all that, but you need to really think about your future. Also, you met his late wife before and must be aware of Kobby's type of woman. He likes a woman whose chest is not as flat as yours and has experience in the bedroom. While you are just…'' Rihan didn't complete her sentence before Calia spoke.
''Do you know? Your behaviour just makes you even more desperate?''
''What?'' Rihan turned and looked at her.
''The way you try so hard to portray Kobby makes me realise just how petty you are. To think that I still had some little bit of respect for you but, you just made that go away too. Rihan, you asked if I have the confidence to keep Kobby? No. I don't have the confidence to keep a man. I only have confidence in my feelings for him. What you know about Kobby are just your assumptions based on what he was 10 years ago. So much time have passed. Besides, I only believe in how he treats me and I know he is sincere''
''Well, I admire your mentality. Try to keep him then, because I am not giving up on him either. If I could make him love me 10 years ago, then I can make him love me 10 years later'' Rihan walked towards the door and stopped in front of Calia and added 'oh, one more thing, be careful, I am actually not the only one after your man''
Calia clenched her fist and sighed. She closed her eyes again and opened them before rushing out to look for Rihan. She wasn't about to let her off for what she did.
Marvel who was waiting at the door saw Calia leaving the room and tried to stop her but the latter looked at her sternly saying ''don't stop me, I am going to teach that bitch a lesson''
Marvel watched as Calia went towards Rihan at the pool and quickly searched for Kobby's number on Calia's phone which was in her hands. The call connected and she spoke fast ''Dr. Kobby, you need to come to the hotel right now. Things are about to get ugly between Calia and Model Rihan''
''I am outside the hotel. Where are you?'' Kobby asked as he walked into the hotel.
''Come to the pool side'' Marvel said and rushed off.
Pool side.
Calia stopped at the entrance of the pool and looked around for Rihan. She looked cold and distant at that moment. The models who were the only ones occupying that pool area all looked at her surprised. They were not stupid and knew that Rihan and Calia were after the same man.
Calia's eyes sighted Rihan. The latter was busy adjusting her bikini as she got ready to jump into the pool. Calia smirked and started walking towards her. Her steps were precise and sturdy. Anyone looking at her would know she was out to kill.
Rihan turned just in time to see Calia walking towards her and was surprised. She felt her steps and gaze were unusual. Rihan turned and face Calia as she walked towards her. Calia stopped in front of Rihan and asked loudly.
''So, you want us to have a cat fight right?''
''What?'' Rihan asked back as the models present gasped and started murmuring.
''You said you will never give up on Kobby even though he has a girlfriend which happens to be me, right?''
''What?'' Rihan noticed the eyes on them 'look here, Calia. If you have something to say, you should have said it inside. What do you think you are doing here?''
':I don't want to discuss anything in private because you provoked me first. Didn't I tell you? I am not exactly the nicest when I'm angry and you just made me angry so you must bear the consequences. Kobby doesn't love you. He loves me. He saw all that you had to offer and still chose a flat chested woman like me'' Calia said and looked at Rihan from head to toe. The models present gasped.
''You asked if I have the confidence to keep him? Yes, I do. I have the confidence to keep him thanks to what you just told me and I am telling you here in front of everyone, leave my man alone. Don't be a prude and act all high and mighty in front of me'' Calia said.
''What? A prude? Kobby, did you hear that? Is this the kind of woman you really want? An unruly woman like her?'' Rihan said looking behind Calia. Calia turned and saw Kobby standing at a distance. His hands rested on his waist as he stood there and watched them.
''Is good that you are here. Let's get this over and done with because I am sick of her trying to sow seeds of doubts in me. Kobby, do you like her or me?'' Calia asked.
At this moment, everyone present in the pool area got curious and quietened down watching them. Kobby looked at Calia's furious face which appeared sexy to him.
''I don't like you'' Kobby said.
''Huh?'" Calia clenched her fist and Rihan smirked but Kobby's next sentence made her freeze.
''I don't like you, because I love you. I love you, Calia Banks. Does that answer your question?'' Kobby said and Calia blushed and turned to look at Rihan.
''Well, it had answered my question, but she told me that you like women with…you know'' Calia used her hands to make gestures, pointing to Rihan's big breasts. 'Tell me, do you like women like her or women like me who don't have a lot of you know that'' Calia asked again.
''Off course I like you and what you have to offer. I like potable ones that fits my hands perfectly'' Kobby said and Calia flushed. In fact, all the other models present flushed as they gasped. Rihan was the only one who had the right proportions of everything and they were often jealous of her figure but now that a man was boldly degrading her, they felt confident in themselves more.
''She said that, you are just playing with me and that you won't even be serious with me? Is that true?'' Calia asked and turned to look at Rihan whose face was ugly and red due to embarrassment.
''If you want we can go and register our marriage with the bureau after the show tonight. Calia, can you stop messing around and come over here? I want to kiss you because you are just so damn sexy'' Kobby said and Calia ran over to him. Kobby pulled her closer and kissed her in front of everyone.
''I will never forgive you for this. Both of you'' Rihan said and walked away. When she got to Kobby and Calia, the latter intentionally stretched her leg and Rihan tripped falling into the pool and screamed. Calia looked at her and held Kobby's hand and pulled him along.
Rihan screamed and hit her hands against the water angrily.
