BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24 - Doubts
"But they seem different. Boss Gavin was so approachable and very friendly. The Prince seems aloof, so I\'m not sure. I feel like you could also be wrong, Boss." Berry added.
Brione sighed and shrugged her shoulders. She looked at Berry and said, "I know there are some differences but I feel it in my heart, Berry."
She wanted to add that her body feels it too, but Berry would definitely tease her about it at every opportunity, so Brione decided not to mention it. Berry was a naturally playful girl who liked to tease a lot.
"Hmm, there\'s no harm in trying to find out more about it, if you feel like that, Brione. I think it\'s not a bad idea to get close to him, but I\'m worried about how this will affect your career? Not to mention the fact that he is Gavin\'s doppelganger. You clearly mentioned in your interview earlier that Gavin is your first love," Mitch voiced her concern. The media would go wild and things would go chaotic once this news reaches our country.
Berry chuckled and proudly said, "Ah, my Boss doesn\'t care as long as she\'s not doing something bad to others. They can say whatever they want, she can easily handle even their negative comments very well. Geez, why are you even mentioning this when we both know Boss can handle such matters even without our help. Besides, she has a lot of good lawyers around her."
Mitch\'s lips twitched and Brione chuckled. Suddenly Brione remembered about her date with the Prince and said, "Ah, by the way, I have to go out again for a swim. Cedric said he will pick me up in an hour."
She told the two how she had planned to rest but an idea had suddenly cropped up in her head the moment she heard that Cedric was going out to swim.
"Gavin has birthmarks on both cheeks of his butt. I clearly asked the Prince to wear a bikini so he will definitely wear brief-style trunks, right? " Brione commented. Instead of resting, she ended up formulating plans with Mitch and Berry on how to prove that Prince Cedric was Gavin.
"Wait, where exactly are those birthmarks? I mean up the butt cheeks or lower? You are sure you will see them if he wears a brief type of swimwear?" Mitch asked and Brione nodded.
"We have to be sure. You take some lotion along just in case you can\'t see them and you can offer to put the lotion on his back, which includes the legs of course, and when you put it on, you could accidentally move your hands up…"
"That\'s a maniac idea, Berry!!!" Mitch scolded.
Berry rolled her eyes as she stated, "What? We need to make sure that Boss sees those birthmarks. It\'s not like she can pull those briefs off!"
"If he wears the brief style, I might be able to see half of it. It\'s like a map in the middle." Brione commented, trying to recall exactly what it looked like.
"I had asked Gavin about it once and he told me that it\'s a birthmark and is present on both his butt cheeks. But…" Brione whispered.
"But what?" Mitch asked.
"He wanted to have it removed and I honestly forgot to ask him about it again. So…" Brione murmured.
"So it\'s possible that there are no birthmarks but he is still Gavin?" Mitch answered.
"But Boss, I\'m curious… How come you know about the birthmarks on his butt? Unless you have seen boss Gavin naked?" Berry could not help asking.
Brione\'s face reddened and said, "It was by accident, okay!"
She had accidentally walked in on a naked Gavin in her bathroom but she only had a glimpse of his back. She had not known Gavin was in her bathroom at that time. It was the night when she had a lot to drink and had not been aware that Gavin had picked her up and dropped her home.
Gavin ended up sleeping in her penthouse as she had not let him leave. She could not even remember what had happened that night. Yet a beautiful smile curved on her lips whenever she recalled that night as it was one of the best nights for Gavin according to what he had written in his journal.
"Geez, Boss is smiling on her own again, recalling her time with Gavin," Berry commented and Mitch nudged Berry with her elbow.
Mitch coughed and said, "In case you do not want to go out with him you can just pretend that you\'re not feeling well. That way you can decline his date without disrespecting the Prince. You know that man is very powerful so it\'s better if we do not get on his bad side, just in case he is not Gavin."
"But Boss you should go. It\'s very exciting, you know. I mean, what if he really is Boss Gavin? Besides, you said your heart is telling you that it\'s him and it\'s always good to follow our heart. As long as there\'s no danger around him I think you\'re good. The Prince is a bachelor and honestly, I don\'t think the rumors about his women are true. If they were, then he would not have asked you to pretend to be his woman?" Berry reasoned.
Mitch shook her head and interrupted, "You never know, okay, so it\'s better if Brione is cautious. I mean, why, out of all the women, did he ask for Brione\'s help? I have heard that many women are flocking around him. What if it\'s just a game for him and our poor Brione gets caught in the middle? And she ends up getting hurt?"
Mitch looked intently at Brione. Mitch was worried because she looked at Brione like a little sister and so she advised her, "What I\'m saying is, you need to make sure you guard your heart until you find out the truth and his real personality and his genuineness towards you. Can you do that, Brione?"
Brione smiled and nodded. But deep inside she had her doubts. She was not confident at all.
