~ At Chou Hospital ~

Alveena and Zhen-Zhen were planning to visit Bianca today. They waited for Sophia before coming over. The three ladies talked yesterday that they would see Bianca and check her condition.

They heard that Clifford didn\'t leave the hospital as he was the one watching over her. Bianca asked a favor from them not to inform her family about what happened to her.

Her mother had a weak heart. She didn\'t want her to have a heart attack or emotional shock if ever she would learn that Bianca got shot.

When they arrived at the hospital, that was the only time Clifford went home. He didn\'t want to disturb the ladies so he left them.

Andrew, Tristan, and Matthew also allowed their women to have private time with Bianca so they decided to go out and buy some snacks for them.

They were in the middle of buying some food when Tristan received Agent Phoenix\'s call. He was in a hurry so he said goodbye to Andrew and Matthew without saying the reason.

Meanwhile, the three ladies felt relieved after seeing Bianca. She was recovering well.

"I\'m so touched seeing all of you here. It\'s like a reunion. Too bad we are stuck here in the hospital instead of hanging out in a restaurant and park," Bianca said, feeling a little bit dejected.

"Hmm, don\'t be sad, Bianca. We can do that once you are fully healed. So you have to recover fast, okay?" Sophia tried to cheer her up.

Bianca just smiled at her before nodding her head. She glanced at them one by one. She was working as a bodyguard but these three ladies considered her as their friend.

Who would have thought that they would end up being friends? Looking back, she didn\'t regret having a dangerous job, especially now that she gained real friends.

She was so grateful to see their love and concern for her.

"Bianca, I am truly indebted to you. You saved our lives. I don\'t know how I can repay you. You even took a bullet for my brother." Alveena expressed her gratitude to Bianca.

Bianca shook her head while patting  Alveena\'s shoulder.

"We are friends! You don\'t have to thank me. Besides, I just did my job. My task is to protect you both."

"Alright. But let me repay you! If you want my brother, I am now giving him to you for free!" Alveena suddenly blurted out of the blue.

Bianca: "..."

Sophia: "..."

Bianca and Sophia couldn\'t believe that Alveena was using her brother to repay Bianca. She didn\'t know if she was joking or not since she said it with a serious expression on her face.

It was Zhen-Zhen who burst out laughing because of Alveena\'s remarks. The three ladies averted their gaze to Zhen-Zhen who suddenly laughed. They were giving her a questioning look.

Seeing the several pairs of eyes that were looking at her, Zhen-Zhen stopped laughing and cleared her throat.

"I think Alveena is pairing Clifford and Bianca. I guess they will make a good match," Zhen-Zhen shared her opinion while giving  Bianca a teasing smile.

Alveena also joined Zhen-Zhen in teasing Bianca. "I know right! Based on my observation, I could say that they have chemistry. Hehe… so I am thinking of shipping them together!"

"Oh right! A cold CEO and a fierce lady are a perfect match!" Sophia also spoke up, making Bianca blush from embarrassment.

"Hey, stop that! What nonsense are you three spouting! Me and Clifford Sy? Perfect Match? Hahaha… that\'s impossible!" Bianca became defensive.

"Thinking about it, my brother stayed here for two nights just watching over you. He didn\'t even go home. I think he cares so much about you!"

Zhen-Zhen and Sophia nodded in agreement with Alveena\'s remarks.

"Hey, don\'t overthink! He just did that because he felt grateful and sorry for me. I think he is still blaming himself for what happened."

Bianca didn\'t want to believe that Clifford did it because he cared for her. She didn\'t want to expect anything.

"Sigh, why don\'t you want to believe me? I know my brother so well," Alveena insisted.

"But kidding aside Bianca, Don\'t you want my brother? I am willing to give him to you for free. Just keep him and make him serve you. Haha! Use this opportunity while he still feels sorry for what happened. I want to see him being taken advantage of by you!" Alveena suggested, flashing a mischievous smile on her face.

Sophia and Zhen-Zhen giggled once again.

"What a harsh sister we have here, just giving out her brother for free?! Do you hate your brother so much, sis Alvee?" Sophia asked, trying to hold her laughter.

"Of course not! I love him, that\'s why I am giving him to Bianca. I know she will discipline him well. Haha I mean take care of him." Alveena responded cheerfully.

"Hey, don\'t joke around like this, or else, I might take this seriously and accept your offer!" Bianca said, playing along with them.

The four of them erupted into peals of laughter. They were having fun just talking like this.

The ladies didn\'t stop teasing Bianca, pairing her up with Clifford. They kept pushing her to have a boyfriend since among them she was the only woman who was not in a relationship right now.

At the mention of boyfriend, suddenly Bianca remembered Brandon\'s offer. She hadn\'t decided whether to accept his offer or not. Since her friends were there, it was better to consult them and ask them for their opinion.

"Speaking of boyfriend, there is something I want to ask you, ladies. Can you help me decide about something?"

Alveena, Sophia, and Zhen-Zhen exchanged glances with one another. They suddenly became interested in what Bianca would be saying. She looked so serious.

"Tell us, Bianca! We are willing to listen!" Sophia said, urging her to speak up.

Alveena and Zhen-Zhen paid close attention to her. They were now all eyes and all ears on her.

"It\'s about Brandon…"

"Brandon? Who?" Sophia asked her curiously. She didn\'t know Brandon.

"Brandon Cullins. He is my ex-fiancé!" Alveena informed Sophia.

"How did you know him?" Zhen-Zhen also asked Bianca. She was surprised that Bianca knew Brandon.

"He and I met because of a blind date set up by my mother," Bianca admitted to them shyly.

"Oh my gosh! Does it mean, Alveena\'s Brother and her Ex-fiancé are both competing for our friend\'s affection?" Sophia blurted out with amusement.

"Hey, don\'t say that. It\'s not like that! Those two men don\'t like me." Bianca was blushing from too much embarrassment.

Zhen-Zhen spoke up to rescue Bianca from Sophia\'s teasing. "Let\'s hear her story first. Don\'t get excited Sophie… Later on, we will also interrogate you!"

"Huh, why me? Interrogate me about what?" Sophia asked Zhen-Zhen confusedly.

"What else? Of course, it\'s about you and Matthew! You and Matthew visited your hometown. And you slept at their house last night after meeting his family. I wonder what happened. Hehe." Zhen-Zhen gave Sophia a meaningful smile.

Alveena and Bianca also looked at Sophia suspiciously while grinning from ear to ear.

It was now Sophia\'s turn to blush in front of her friends.

"Ahem, stop looking at me like that. Let\'s go back to Bianca\'s concern!" Sophia diverted the topic back to Bianca.

The three ladies just let out a soft giggle after seeing the anxious and embarrassed expression of Sophia.

"Alright, let\'s listen to Bianca now. Enough fooling around! She needs our advice," Zhen-Zhen chimed in, looking at Bianca.

Bianca took a deep breath before telling them her concern.

"During our date, Brandon proposed something to me. I still haven\'t given him my answer."

"What proposal?" Alveena asked, feeling intrigued.

"He asked me if I wanted to pretend to be his girlfriend. It would benefit us both. My mother is always nagging me to find a boyfriend while Brandon wants his parents to believe that he is the reason why his engagement with Alveena didn\'t work."

"But I am still hesitating to accept his offer. I think pretending as a girlfriend is more difficult than being a bodyguard. I am afraid that our parents will find out easily that we are faking it… what do you think? Should I do it or not?"

Bianca glanced at them, waiting for their opinions and suggestions.

"Gosh! I forgot about Brandon! I want him to find another woman since he is really a good man. And Bianca is a good candidate for that. Even now, he is doing this because of me." Alveena felt sorry for Brandon.

"But… I want you to become my sister-in-law! I can\'t decide as well. Just ask Lillie and Sophia. I want to remain neutral," she added before darting her gaze between Sophia and Zhen-Zhen.

"Hmm… if it will help both of you, so why not. Go for it! Besides, it is not forever. But what if Alveena\'s brother will misunderstand. I want to ship you both as well!" Sophia shared her opinion.

Then she turned to Zhen-Zhen. "How about you, Lillie?"

"Hmm, pretending is not good. Why don\'t make it real?" Zhen-Zhen said matter-of-factly.

"Eh? So you are in favor of Brandon and Bianca?" Sophia asked Zhen-Zhen, feeling a little bit disappointed.

Zhen-Zhen shook her head. "Nope. What I mean is… Bianca should find a real boyfriend like Clifford. I am shipping them too. And Brandon should find another woman to date for real! He deserves true love as well."

Zhen-Zhen just finished talking when the door slid open and Dr. Yuri and Brandon both entered the room. The four ladies averted their gaze to the newcomers.
