Twenty: Clashes
I was overwhelmed.
A week had passed, yet all I had been planning wasn't reflecting. In only one week, I had lost two offers. I didn't know what was happening, but it kind of seemed like someone was plotting against me. Who else could that be, other than Becca and Jan?
I wasn't sure if they were the ones that were really behind this problem, but all I knew was, I would never give up. Giving up was never a solution, but a pain.
"Ms. Warren, do you think we should try working with another Asian company? I heard Singapore is a very good place for doing businesses," Rachel suggested.
I slammed my laptop shut, hunched out a shaky breath. "I'm so confused. Why is this happening? And, if we aren't careful, in a few months from now, our company will run at loss."
"What about your offer with GSF? Any help from that?" She asked, evidently worried.

BILLIONAIRES Twenty one: Thank You
Seth••••••I was so shocked to see Louella bleeding. I had been waiting in my car, waiting for Mom, feeling upset about the fact my lost mom had been coming to see me stealthily. When I had seen this car moving roughly, I had fretted a bit, knowing fully well that the car would have an accident. To my surprise, it was Louella who was in the car.She had passed out already. I didn't even know how to react, cause I was quite shaken. Because I knew I had to do something as soon as possible, I held her arm, shoved her into my arms. Was I to call the police or what?She gasped, still awake a little. "Mom, are you fine?" For some reason, she squeezed her face like she wanted to cry. "Don't worry, the cold won't kill us. We'll be fine. The sun will rise in the morning."I wrinkled my face, so confused. Had she gotten a menta
BILLIONAIRES Twenty Two: Mom?
Leo and Neo put their eyes down as I threw glowers at them. If they had been more careful, I wouldn't have had an accident. Also, I wouldn't have been helped by someone like Seth. Only because of that one thing Seth had done for me, I got teased by him while we had been working together at his office."I could've died!" I snarled."We're so sorry," Neo apologized for the one hundredth time."You both should leave here now. If this happens next time, I'll slaughter your heads, and send it to an abattoir."Erin shook her head at me. "Calm down, okay?""Leave now," I ordered. Saying that, they both turned around, left here.Immediately they shut the door behind them, someone knocked. I rolled my eyes before asking the person to come in. Seeing the police, I stood up, walked to them even before they reached me."
BILLIONAIRES Twenty Three: Deal
I was so perplexed. What if he was truly my brother? Mom was hugging him passionately, smiling between. Had mom also had another child? When? How? Where? Gosh, what was this?!"I missed you," he said."I missed you too."I gawked. "Mom, what's going on? How do you—""Oh, Louella." They both pulled away from their hug. Seth stood beside mom, pulled his arm over her shoulder, kind of smirked at me. "You don't know him. This is Seth. He's the boy who I used to take care of. I was his nanny.""His nanny? This man?" I gawked harder.She smiled. "Yes, dear. Do you know him?"I nodded. "This cruel man. Yes, I know him! But, I don't want you to know him. He's a crazy person."She chuckled, and took his hand. "Well…" She pulled him closer, walked closer. "He's a good boy to me. Since I was coming, I to
BILLIONAIRES Twenty four: Accidental proposal?
Rachel who had forced me to come out here with Seth, wasn't even here. Halfway here, her mom had called her over the phone, saying she was sick. Rachel had been so worried, so I had asked her to leave to go and meet her mom.I glimpsed at Seth. To be honest, I had a great feeling this man wanted something from me. Some of his workers had informed me that the great Seth Lee never did anything without gaining from it. Did he really wanna… hookup? If that was it, he had to know he was only daydreaming."Am I that cute?" He smiled. Oops, I hadn't known I had been staring at him.I looked away, but my eyes caught him gazing at me from the rear-view mirror. Shit, he would have seen me staring at him."Cute my butt," I choked out."Well, if you don't say the truth, I'll tell you the truth." There he went. Babbling. "To me, you're cute."
BILLIONAIRES Twenty-five: I'm engaged
Debating with myself for a while, I turned to Louella. She looked as shocked as I was. It took her a while to observe what was going on, and in a few seconds, she began throwing scowls at me. I gulped. I wasn't uneasy because of her threatening look, I was this way because this was all about my reputation.Speaking of reputation, after the day I had told the social media that Louella and I weren't a couple, they had begun gossiping that they had a strong feeling I was being a bad dude to her, which was maybe the reason she denied our relationship. If she had to reject this fake proposal, their gossip would seem like the truth. They would really think she had rejected my proposal because I was a really bad person to be with.With a blink of my eyes, I gestured that she should take the ring from me. That was supposed to be more like a plea, but it only made her frown even more.I almost pouted, nodding gently.
BILLIONAIRES Twenty six: Darkness
I shook my head crazily, really confused. "No, no, no. That can't be possible. This rumor is fake. We can't be tagged as a couple.""Don't know how it happened." She shrugged. She walked to my kitchen counter, kept her purse on it. Taking a glass, she got herself an orange drink from the fridge, sat on one of the high stools by the counter. "But ma'am, I think it's a nice idea. We should use this as an opportunity to begin working with them.""No." I sipped from my coffee, sighed cause I enjoyed its nice taste. "You know I don't like using stuff like that to achieve my aim. I'm an independent woman. Using our fake relationship as an opportunity to get the offer, isn't nice. And, if Seth knows about it, he'll tease me.""Ms. Warren." She dropped her glass on the counter, walked to me, her face wrinkled like a pitiful puppy. I'd say she was being dramatic. "Please, go with Seth. It's not like you're taking advantage of the
BILLIONAIRES Twenty seven: Hurt
Erin••••••My feet gently tapped against the asphalt concrete, fright washing through me as I leaned my back over the Lexus Jeep behind me. I wouldn't say I was scared. Specifically, I was nervous. It was time to express my feelings. Now or never.I looked up at the dark, cloudy sky, and sighed. If I didn't go in soon, I'd end up being drenched in the rain. But, the thing was, was I confident enough to go in there? Could I face him?After a long, crazy, disturbing thought, I had decided to flow with what Louella had prompted. Crazy, right? But yes, I was ready for this.It had been days since I had seen him. During that interval, we hadn't texted each other, nor had spoken over the phone. I had debated with myself a couple of times on whether or not I should have called him. But, the thing was, why call him when he hadn't called as well?
BILLIONAIRES Twenty eight: Convo
Louella••••••••••I quivered as I froze in my tracks. I turned around, and that feeling of someone or something attacking me rambled back in my head. I really hated this. Whoever had locked me in here, was going to pay for it. I knew I shouldn't have come here alone.I gulped in a painful lump, shut my eyes tight. My fingers trembled, shaking like a wrong impulse had travelled through me. My legs were also starting to turn weak, proof that I'd fall to the floor soon. The groan, the hard and painful one, jerked out of my throat. This pain was as if I was turning into a monster.Sweat profusely seeped on my forehead. The moment I shut my eyes tighter, those sad nights came back haunting my head. The night I had almost been raped, the night mom and I were sent out of the house, the night I had had an accident.
