He picked his second phone dialing Vida's number. "Have you gotten enough about that skinny brat?" Hazard paused.
"You haven't gotten enough you idiot!" He yelled again when, Vida had replied to him.
"I don't want to wait a second for her information, got it?" He said hanging up instantly, as he breathed heavily, the anger in him kept instigating.
"I saw your video in the internet." Katie said her eyes glued on the phone, the other hand held an ice cream cup firmly.
Pispa licked her ice cream turning towards her. "What video? What do you mean?" She peeped chuckling. "That's the psycho I met, so cruel."
"You slapped him?" Katie asked nonplussed.
"Yeah. He sent his driver to disgrace me and I couldn't take it." Pispa rolled her eyes and Katie parted her mouth in shock.
"Oh my gosh! You slapped the cruel almighty Dehavilland? You are so cooked Pispa. You better go apologize."
Pispa chuckled angrily. "Why? I don't want to know who the hell he is or what he can do... Katie let's stop and go home happily. Can we?" Pispa said and Katie nodded slowly.
Did she know who he was? I pray you overcome his wrath. Katie thought inwardly, drifting her eyes back to her phone.
AT NIGHT
PISPA'S APARTMENT
Mel felled beside Pispa on the bed after their dinner, Mel was engrossed in something in her phone. "You got the guy sis."
"What?" Pispa asked, she was arranging her clothes for the contest.
"Look." Mel said showing her the picture of her slapping Hazard.
Pispa frowned. "Why is everyone talking about this? Is he that important? I mean I'm so tired of that." Pispa ranted.
"C'mon. You seemed to be the only one who doesn't know him."
"Of course not. Katie said he is the freaking cruel DeHavilland... Or is there anything else so annoying about him?" Pispa said resolutely.
Mel chuckled. "You are unbelievably brave. I mean he owns..."
"Look Mel. I don't give a fuck who he is, go to sleep and allow me to settle things okay?" Pispa glowered.
Mel nodded gently, covering the duvet over her body, still Operating her phone underneath.
"Gosh. I'm so nervous.. how am I supposed to cook in public? Crazy Ronnie." Pispa muttered but Mel didn't say anything.
Pispa practiced day and night, honing her skills and perfecting her craft. She knew that the competition would be tough, that the other contestants would be talented and ambitious.
But she was determined to win, to prove herself and show everyone that she was not to be underestimated.
Well.. she was going to put her all and all in the competition. She is going to win no matter what.
MORNING
Pispa had wore her pink sneakers and her long white Flora gown, she packed her hair into a bun, her small purse hung on her shoulders.
"Good morning guys." She greeted settling down beside Mel.
"You are ready?" Shirin asked, dishing out food for her.
"Yeah. I won't like to eat much. I'm fucking nervous."
"Cool. Mum you can give me part of hers." Dulcie extended his hand to grab Pispa's food but he earned a hit from Mel.
"Drop it you manic." Mel scowled
"C'mon, it isn't your food. Sis gave it to me."
"It is okay guys... I will finish it. Don't help me." Pispa said, grabbing the food from Dulcie and started eating it—The food wanted to instigated fight between them.
Shortly, Pispa ate little and dropped her spoon. "I'm off.. don't forget to watch me on TV." She said rushing out of the house, with nervous smile.
"Are you sure she can do it? She looked damned scared... She hadn't performed publicly." Mel turned at her mother.
Shirin sighed. "I'm sure she will. You guys have to get ready for school."
"She will." Dulcie said scooping from Pispa's food and Mel exhaled deeply looking at him.
GALAXY-WEALTH PUB
The large building was magnificent, filled with students of different kind, Pispa exhaled deeply as the cold wind hit her skin blowing her hair gently.
Her eyes scoured the building from one floor to the last.
"Gosh." She mouthed adjusting her little purse on her shoulder, before making her way into the building but unfortunately she bumped into someone and his coffee spilled on her white gown.
"Geez..!" Pispa gasped, bringing up her hand to slap him but held her hand in the air, when she realized how people were watching him. She breathed heavily.
Today should be her happy day right? Why this?
"I'm so sorry.. I'm sure you are one of the contestants?" He asked remorseful.
Pispa frown at his questions. "Don't asked me stupid question and think on what I should do.. my clothes are ruined!"
"O.. okay. Let's wash it off." He splutted.
"Are you crazy?.. I have some minutes to start... Gosh! I should have kicked your groins." Pispa grunted
"What of launderette?" He asked.
Pispa rolled her eyes rushing out when she took a quick glance from her wrist watch.
He came after her immediately. It was a fatal accident, and he was also part of the contest.
FOOD STATION
Ronnie kept checking his wrist watch and his phone to know if she could call or maybe he would she her sign but all was no abortive. He was getting worried.
"Where could she be?" He mouthed furtively when every students had settled on their station and the interviews was going on.
Ronnie was so angry. Is Pispa ditching him or she was just angry?
He dropped his head on his jawlines. One hand dropped into his pockets as he panicked.
Hazard on his black suit, his shades embed on his eyes as he walked inside the hall, everyone gasped in shock seeing him.
They were afraid of the devil, the contestants hands were shivering physically as they lowered their gaze.
The judges bowed in respect as he seat on his luxurious chair dropped separately for him.
His eyes scanned for the whole places for a particular person, his face contorted into a deep frown, when he wasn't getting any sign of the person.
"Let's introduce ourselves." The interviewer said on the mic and the contestants we're getting ready as they started saying their names.
Ronnie were still getting scared, he called Pispa's number again but she wasn't taking the calls. Soon Ronnie saw Pispa and a guy walking into the food station.
"Excuse me, we are one of the contestants." Pispa said when she saw everyone ready to start cooking and some the security men were standing against the doorway.
Ronnie looked out seeing them, he ran towards Pispa. "What took you so long?"
"I will answer that when I have secured my position." Pispa frowned.
Hazard on his seat looking up from his phone, seeing a lady and two guys at the doorways, he tried to figure out who that was.
Some security men were driving the two out and he had to interfere, he walked out of the station to them. "What's going on here?" His voice sounded husky and cold.
The security men bowed immediately moving aside. Pispa's eyes twisted in anger as well as Hazard as their eyes locked.
"They are among the contestants but the contest has instigated." One of the security men said. His head were still bowing.
Hazard's eyes arched and his mouth turned into a dark smirk, shoving his hands into his pockets, his eyes fixed on Pispa. His eyes flashing with a sinister intent.
For a moment, he just stared at her, Then, a slow smile spread across his face, an impish slant on his lips
Pispa mouth parted in shock, she had done the unthinkable – she had slapped him. And he is one of the judges? Gosh! She had failed woefully.
She knew she had made a powerful enemy. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she turned to leave.
"Let her in." Hazard said hoarsely.
Pispa looked up, she met Harzard's gaze, his eyes glinting with amusement. And she knew that he was thinking the same thing, that this competition was exactly what he needed to get his revenge.
The battle lines were drawn, and the game was on.
