Chapter 56 - 56: The rabbit's phone

The cleaning which supposed to be done by two people ended up as a one-person job, while Daniella was busy scrubbing the toilets, Matthew was sitting on the sink playing a loud song to his phone, singing in a loud voice.
"Daniella, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Daniella, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home"
Daniella's face went flat to hear Matthew changing the lyrics of the song to her name, she rolled her eyes and flushed the toilet.
She slid her backhand on her forehead, removing the sweat after an hour of cleaning the toilet. It was cleaned but Matthew kept on nagging that everything must be spotless or else he would call Evan and tell him that she's here.
Daniella didn't know that Matthew noticed how much she was avoiding Evan but, she might have been doing it so vulgar that even Matthew with his peanut size brain notice it.
When everything was done, Daniella straightened and clasped her hands behind her back, shifting one foot to another towards Matthew on the sink.
"I am done, can I leave now?"
Matthew looked at her, so long with a flat face. Then he looked up, pointed a finger at the flickering light.
Daniella rose an eyebrow, "You're not asking me to change the bulb, do you?" she asked.
"I think I am," Matthew grinned at her.
Daniella's nose wrinkled, she took the toilet brush and pointed it at Matthew, "Your mouth is spouting nonsense, why don't I brush it?" she said with anger.
Matthew shrugged, "Sure, let me just send some photos to my cousin first."
Daniella stomped her feet; hands clenched the toilet brush tightly.
"You! Fine!" she groaned in defeat, left the toilet and came back with the ladder she found in the utility room.
She climbed on until she reached the ceiling, she looked at Matthew and asked him to hand her the bulb but, he had earphones in full volume, enabling him to hear what she was saying.
Daniella rolled her eyes, jumped down and picked up the bulb in the utility cart next to the door.
Her hand frost when she heard Evan's voice.
Just like the wind, Daniella rustled towards the cubicle, huddle in the corner with wide eyes.
Matthew was dumbfounded when a cold air past in front of him, then the door of the last cubicle suddenly closed.
He rose an eyebrow, turned to the door and found his cousin with his two friends.
"Matthew, what are you doing here?" Evan asked, he had just finished the lunch with Ken and Glen and the two were supposed to leave but Ken urged Glen to stay.
"You asked me to clean the toilet, right?" he replied, eyes shining with a tease as he thought of Daniella hiding in the cubicle.
"Yeah, I didn't know you would do it," Evan replied, unzip his pants and stood in one of the men's toilets.
"Well, Ella helped me," Matthew replied.
Evan frosts for a moment. He zipped his pants and went to the sink to wash his hands.
"Is she here?" he asked with shocked.
"Yeah," Matthew said, "You won't find her, she's avoiding you."
Evan sighed, leaned on the sink next to Matthew and looked at his friends talking about Ken's business.
"Why is she avoiding you?" Matthew curiously asked.
Evan didn't reply, his mind focused on the scent of the restroom. He could say that Matthew was telling the truth, Daniella must have helped him to clean it since her scent stayed in the air.
"There are two things you should never ask to that mushroom." Matthew pulled his earphones and jammed it in his pocket.
"First, to be your girlfriend"
"Second," he paused and stared at his cousin, "her past."
-
Daniella with her lips parting with anger turned statue, Matthew knows her so well to give that advice to Evan and he was right, she would never accept a man and would never tell a man about her past.
The realization hit her, she started asking herself why was she hiding when she was in disguise.
Head shaking with disbelief, Daniell pushed the door opened, she walked out and found Evan, Matthew and another man in a grey suit.
Everyone's eyes turned to her, startled by her sudden appearance.
Matthew winked at Daniella, he jumped to his feet and lay a shoulder over Daniella's shoulder.
"Evan, this is my friend, sh-he helped me cleaned this bathroom," he said, waggling his eyebrows with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Evan didn't bother to look at the man that Matthew introduced, instead, he took his phone out and dialed Mark's number.
When the man answered, he parted his lips to speak, "Where's Daniella?"
"I lost her. She went to her apartment and disappeared." the other line replied.
Evan's eyes narrowed, with anger, he yelled, "Well, find her. Make sure she's safe. come to my office, she should be around here," and harshly pressed the end button.
"Who's Daniella?" Glen asked, halted next to Evan, sanitizing his hands.
"Yeah, when did you start caring about a woman?" Ken replied, his eyes were looking at the man next to Matthew with anger, he remembered him, that was the man in front of the elevator staring at him like a pervert.
"I hired her to be Selena's babysitter," Evan replied, fingers scrolled on the screen of his phone to find Daniella's number.
Ken rose an eyebrow, "Are you calling her? Come on Evan, don't be cheap, she's just a rabbit in the shop, you can get a new one anytime" his head stretched to peek at Evan's phone.
Seeing that his friend was serious about calling a woman, Ken took the phone from Evan's hand and by accident, he pressed the call button.
Daniella's world stopped when she suddenly felt the vibration on her leg, her phone was in the front pocket of his slacks and she knows that soon, it will ring.
And it did, and everyone's eyes stared at the bump on his pants.
Daniella blinked, unknown to her, her irises started to shift from grey to black.
She walked out of the restroom; everyone was looking at her with perplexity.
"I think that man has your babysitter's phone," Ken said, giving the phone back to Evan.
Evan turned to Matthew, lips slowly stretching in a smile.
"Sneaky," he murmured shaking his head.
Glen creased his brows; he had been staring at the man next to Matthew and was shocked to see his eyes changed its color.
When Evan left the restroom, Glen heard his friend Ken next to him, saying, "Let's go follow Evan, for sure he's going to beat up that perverted man for stealing his rabbit's phone."
Glen, Ken, and Matthew followed Evan, and as their feet stepped on the carpet of the hallway, their jaw dropped to the floor by the sight.
"What the hell?" Ken murmured; grey eyes went wide as he stared at his best friend Evan kissing a man in the hallway with his employee around looking at him.
"Is it just me, or Evan is kissing a man?" Glen asked, utterly speechless by the sight.
"He is definitely kissing a man, a short freaking man," Ken said, face wrinkling with disgust.
"Matthew, when did he start liking a man?" Glen asked Matthew next to him, grinning with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Matthew shrugged both shoulders and said, "I don't know but I am happy that finally, my cousin has come out of his closet, Tsk," he clicked his tongue, "I guess we can't do anything now than to support him." he continued in between his laugh.
