Double-faced b*tch!

RUDY'S POV :

I walked closer to know what was going on there before interrupting them. Alina placed her hand on the other girl who is beside her saying, "I'm her sister."

What? She has a sister? Does she have the same attitude as her? I thought to myself while thinking that she might be good for Omar. I chuckled at that thought but that smile faded when…

"Another b*tch." She muttered but still, I heard it clearly from my place and that's when I recognised that voice. She is not just someone I know but also someone I don't like. But why is she arguing with them?

"What did you just say?" removing her hand from the girl's shoulder, Alina took a step forward towards her angrily.

She scoffed, "What? Do you want me to repeat that? Fine by me, b-…"

"Finish that word, I dare you." Alina looked so angry, "But I can't promise you that you will have your teeth to say that again." Damn, Alina warned her while taking one step closer which makes her take a step back.

"A-are you threatening me?" she stammers while asking Alina.

Alina chuckled, "You can take that as whatever you want but mind your words when you are speaking to others."

"How dare you threaten me?" she said raising her hand to slap Alina but Alina caught her hand in mid-air twisting a little making her wince in pain. "Stop, you are hurting me." She screamed in pain and pleaded to leave her hand.

Well, she shouldn't have messed with her in the first place. I know very well how it turns out when you mess with her.

Alina released her hand and Catherine clutched her wrist wincing in pain. "Look, I warned you once. But I guess your stupid brain doesn't get that." I chuckled lightly when Alina tapped her head with her finger. "Don't ever raise your voice at me but you dared to raise your hand. You are lucky that I'm not in the mood to break some bones. Otherwise, you would have already lost your hand by now."

Wow, Alina literally scared the shit out of her. She is really something else.

"You are a psycho." Okay, bad choice of words.

Alina chuckled, "What did I just say about minding your words? Control your mouth otherwise you'll have to say goodbye to your teeth." Catherine took a step back in fear after hearing that. "Now listen carefully, next time you are talking to someone, give some respect to them. And listen to them when they are talking before interrupting them. I'm leaving you this time, but if I saw you calling names and hurting someone again…" Alina took a step forward going close to her face and bending a little to match her height. "…trust me, you don't want to know what I'll do."

Okay, she is seriously one hell of a woman and that is why we all wanted to match her with Shane. She is seriously just like him scaring the shit out of people. For a second she got me there.

She walked back to them after giving a warning "That's my best friend." Jessica gave Alina a hi-fi and laughed.

"Do you know who I'm?" she said.

"Yeah, a f*cking b*tch." I said while walking towards them. Well, it's about time to interfere.

Everyone's attention is now on me. "Rudy?" Catherine looked at me in confusion and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Yes, Catherine. Everyone knows that you are a b*tch. No need to ask everyone." I said again which makes her facial expressions change.

"What the hell Rudy? Are you trying to insult me in front of them?" She asked furiously.

I scoffed, "Do you need someone to insult you? You are already doing it on your own by talking badly to others."

"Are you forgetting that I'm your bro-…"

"Don't try to remind me that you are my brother's girlfriend. It made me cringe to even hear that. I don't even care if you are Omar's girlfriend because I don't even like you in the first place. " she gritted her teeth still clutching her wrist. I guess it still hurts.

"Are you siding with them now? Why, is this one of your wh*res?" she asked with an evil smirk on her face thinking that she might have hit a nerve.

Yeah, she indeed did, but what she doesn't know is, she made a big mistake by saying that. "BIG. MISTAKE." Jessica and I said at the same time.

Alina pushed me aside raging in anger and almost charged at her to punch her but thankfully I stopped her before she did something. If Alina punches her, she will definitely faint there and might need plastic surgery for her face to get normal again.

I know perfectly well what her punch tastes like even though I like not to mention that. It hurts like hell, Catherine won't even stand a chance. I was trained my whole life so I can manage but if she punches Catherine as she did with me, who knows she might die if she is not strong enough to bear it.

You are thinking that I'm exaggerating right? Even though I don't want to tell what her punch is like but it's true. There were times when I thought that she might be the Lioness because of her punch. But I don't know it, because I have never seen Alina fight and don't know how Lioness punch is like, so I can't say whether it's her or not.

"Don't stop me. I need to teach her a lesson today." What the! She is much stronger than she seems. I need to pull her strongly and make sure that she stays with Jessica. Jessica stopped her saying something in her ear which only Alina can hear. But at least she stopped her from charging towards Catherine. Thank God, no one will come to this side because it's completely our private space.

Catherine looked so scared after seeing Alina's anger. Well, she shouldn't have messed with her. "Listen, Catherine, don't ever mess with the wrong people. You will never know what will happen." She looked frightened seeing Alina's anger when she charged towards her.

"I'll take care of you later." She said which made me roll my eyes.

"Yeah, we are so scared of you," Alina said sarcastically which made us laugh.

Catherine looked pissed but she can't do anything so she just went inside the elevator stomping her foot angrily.

"I don't even know what Omar sees in her," I muttered under my breath but I guess they heard it.

"Is she really his girlfriend?" Alina asked while raising her brows.

"Yes." You thought that I'm the one who answered it right. Well no, we forgot that there is another girl with us looking absolutely gorgeous and innocent at the same time. She is the one who answered Alina but how did she even know that Catherine is Omar's girlfriend?

"How do you know that?" I asked her.

"Well, I'm his personal assistant." She said.

"Really?" Alina asked her and she nodded.

"Why are you asking her like you don't know that?" I asked Alina in confusion.

"That's because I don't know." She said sternly.

"Isn't she your sister?" I asked her in confusion.

"When did I ever say that to you?" She asked me.

"Haven't you mentioned that to Catherine, a while ago?" She looked at me raising her brows.

"Were you eavesdropping all this time?" shit, she got me there.

"No, I just came at that time and heard that." I defended myself but she didn't believe me though.

She scoffed, "Whatever." And looked at the girl who is Omar's P.A. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, thank you so much for standing up for me. And really sorry, because of me she insulted you." She apologized even though it was not her mistake.

"Forget about that, It's not even your fault. If my sister was in your place, I would have done the same." Alina replied smiling. So, she does have a sister. "By the way, I'm Alina." She said extending her hand for a handshake.

"Gracelyn… But you can call me Grace." She said shaking hands with Alina.

"This is Jessica, my best friend. And this is…"

"Rudy, Omar's brother." I introduced myself before she says something which is completely unnecessary.

"I know sir, I have seen your eyes and thought that you might be his brother." Very observing, I see.

"Intelligent girl. But don't call me sir, you can call me Rudy." I said and she nodded saying okay. "By the way, I have heard a lot about you, Grace. Omar said that you were the reason behind that huge project."

"He talked about me?" she asked and for a second I saw light in her eyes when I mentioned Omar.

"Yeah, he said that you have a lot of potential in you and are a hard worker," I said and a small smile curved up on her face.

"I just did what I have to." She said.

"That's really great. Anyways, are you waiting for Omar?" I asked her and she nodded.

"You can come with us, we are going to the penthouse anyways." Alina offered her.

"It's okay, he just messaged me that he is in the elevator," Grace replied while typing on her mobile. I think she is replying to Omar.

"Why did you wait here? You should have gone to the penthouse." I said, and Alina also nodded in agreement.

"I was going to go there but you know what happened later." She said looking troubled remembering that again.

"If you don't mind us asking, what's the issue between you guys?" Jessica asked her.

"Nothing. I don't even know why she hates me." Grace said.

"That's Catherine. She doesn't need a reason to hate people." I said and at the same elevator doors popped open revealing Omar and Catherine.

They walked towards us and Catherine looked so pissed looking at us. But Omar's expression is completely different. He started smiling looking at us or perhaps looking at a certain someone. Who is he looking at? I looked at the place where he was seeing.

And instantly a smile curved up on my face seeing that. The reason behind his smile is not me or Alina and Jessica. It's Grace, the innocent personal assistant. Now, I know why Catherine doesn't like Grace.

Looks like my not-so-innocent brother got his interest in his innocent assistant. He didn't even acknowledge any of us but was walking straight to Grace making it obvious to everyone. But there is me, who can help him see us before he ignores everyone.

I cleared my throat to get his attention and it worked. He looked at me like he just noticed me. I raised one of my brows smirking at him. "Well, Afternoon my dear brother."

He looked around us and saw Alina and Jessica were also there. But I know my brother he always knows what to do and can make the situation under his control. "Good afternoon all of you." He said smiling towards us. "Catherine, meet Alina and Jessica. They are Camilla's wedding planners."

I mentally chuckled, if only he knew what just happened. "Hello, I'm Omar's girlfriend," Catherine said smiling while clinging to Omar. What a way to introduce herself!

Alina's facial expression was unimaginable seeing Catherine like that. Can't blame her though, she doesn't know Catherine completely. Jessica just nodded giving a tight-lipped smile. But Alina on the other hand extended her hand for a handshake. What is she doing?

Catherine was also confused but she had no choice but to extend her hand. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you," Alina said smiling but the look in her eyes says otherwise. Catherine looked uncomfortable and was trying to let go of her hand but Alina holds it tightly squeezing a little still smiling widely but the effect on Catherine's hand looks like she is squeezing her hand.

I cleared my throat to stop her before she broke her hand, luckily Alina left her hand grinning widely and looked at me like I spoiled her fun. Omar walked towards Grace smiling and leaving Catherine there, "Why didn't you come up? I already told you the password, right?" he asked her.

Did he really tell her the password? Damn, he trusts her. It took a lot of time before he said the password to Catherine. But he just said it just like that. And here I thought Camilla and I were the only reckless ones. I think she earned his trust so fast.

"I was about to come but…" she stopped saying when Catherine glared at her warningly. But Alina is up for saving, blocking Catherine's view.

"But?" Omar asked.

"But, you messaged me that you were coming, so I waited here with them." She didn't tell him about Catherine. Such a nice girl, Omar needs a girl like her in his life but not a b*tch like Catherine.

"Oh, so you've already met them. That's great." He said and looked at us, "Okay, we will take our leave then. See you guys." We nodded smiling, "Let's go, Grace. Mr Shaw is waiting for us." He said and Grace nodded.

"Wait, what about me?" Catherine asked him while walking towards him.

"What about you, Catherine?" he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Am I not coming with you?" she asked him.

"We are not going to a party, Catherine. We are going for a meeting." He said sternly. Alina is controlling herself not to laugh.

Catherine frowned, "You are not spending time with me, Omar. You always prefer work over me."

"I already told you that this project is very big, Catherine. Grace even worked overnight for this project. You should understand how important this is and support us rather than arguing." Oops, someone is angry now. Catherine looked pissed after hearing this.

But still, she masked her face with a smile saying, "Of course, I understand and will always support you, Omar. You guys go for the meeting, I'll just go shopping." Wow, such a nice actress.

"Okay, let's go, Grace." He said.

Grace hugged Alina, "It was such a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for what you have done."

Alina hugged her back patting her, "Hope to see you again." They pulled away from the hug and Alina took Grace's phone dialling her number giving a missed call to her mobile, "There, that's my number. Call me anytime. Don't ever think that you are bothering me, you are just like my sister, I'll be happy to talk to you and help you in any way."

Grace smiled heartfully and said, "Thank you."

Before Omar and Grace left, Catherine hugged Omar and kissed his cheek saying goodbye to him, his facial expression changed immediately which doesn't go unnoticed by me. He knows something.

Well, my brother is no fool, he obviously knows something is fishy about Catherine but decided to stay like that which only means that he is planning something. "See you later, Omar." Catherine said and left. Omar and Grace also left for their meeting along with her.

"Double-faced b*tch." Alina and I looked at each other and burst out laughing.
