Twenty nine: Something Different
The cold breeze travelled into my cloth, swept through the skin of my body, sending shivers across my internal organs. Goosebumps teased every part of my skin, which made me wince. To worsen this disturbance, this bed wasn't as comfy as it was supposed to be.
I grumbled, trying to roll on the bed. The moment I rolled to the left, I fell into a shallow pit, and knocked the back of my head against something that felt like a rock.
"Oh my." I rubbed my palm against the pain in the back of my head, managed to sit. Opening my eyes slowly, I yawned. And, the moment I saw a bunch of people surrounding me, I gasped. "Oh my gosh!" I sat straight.
Why was I on the floor? Oh, shit! I had been sleeping on the red couch, had even been resting my head on Seth's chest, then had accidentally fallen off from there. Ew!
Taking a hard swallow, I stood up, sat on the couch. "Wh-What's going on here?" My

Seth••••••Celina stared blankly at me as she sat by the other side of my table, probably wondering what was going on in my mind. Well, I couldn't tell her I was thinking about Louella, could I? It was weird, and totally dumb, but I found myself thinking about her in the last few days.After the morning Louella and I had made a deal to become friends, yes, we had truly become friends. Well, not very close friends. Practically, not as close as Jerome and I. But we were friends. Good friends."What the heck is with you?" Celina finally stopped staring at me. She grabbed the coffee mug in front of her, sipped from it. "You've been smiling like a pig since God-knows-when. What's up?"I chuckled. "Not a big deal. Was only thinking about… something.""Or someone?" She wore a stern look. Her voice came
BILLIONAIRES Thirty one: Shitty Thing?
It had been over five minutes I had explained my problem to this idiotic Sonya, but all she did was to drink from her glass. I wondered if she wasn't ready to help me, or she had probably caught my trick. Or, was she planning to go drunk, so she wouldn't have to give me a reply? I doubted if that was the case. She was too dumb to think about avoiding my request."So…" Finally! She said something! She dropped her glass on the glass table that separated us, sighed. Looking at me, those dazzling eyes held a rare emotion. What was with her? "You need my help?""Yeah." I nodded gently, trying to be cool.She chuckled weirdly. "Don't get this. You used to be my enemy, right? Why need my help now?"My eyebrows creased like I was worried. I looked down, trying to seem pathetic. It was time to take advantage of her. "Well, you see, I feel bad for all I did to you. Trust me, I'm ready to rec
BILLIONAIRES Thirty two: No. Never.
I signed the last piece of document which was on my table, threw my head into the headrest of my seat, and sighed hard. Finally, I had done this. I had done everything I had to do for the day.Grabbing my phone from the glass table in front of me, a text notification popped up on the phone screen. Seeing it was a text from Seth, a bit of delightfulness crept into my head. This was annoying. Why was I always excited to get something from him, or be with me? What a ridiculous feeling."Meet me in your parking lot. Let's dine out," he texted.I bit my smile. This guy was going to make me go giddy someday. What was with him and dinner?"Ahem!" Rachel made that awkward sound as she sat by the other side of the table. I flinched, and shot her a glare. She just gave me a smile. "What's that, Ms. Warren? Is that Seth Lee?"I scanned my eyes around, in search of somethin
BILLIONAIRES Thirty three: Seriously?
How could anyone be this immature and dumb? If he knew he wasn't going to do anything, why had he made me feel that way? What was his problem? And wait, did I care? How could I have shut my eyes, and had probably been expecting a kiss? Was I stupid?Furious, I threw a punch against his tummy, and he tripped backwards, holding his tummy."Moron," I choked out."Ow, what was that for?" He groaned. "Did I lie by saying you aren't my type? I mean, you'll never give me a chance in your life, will you?"I hissed. "Let's go and have dinner. I've got no time for your craziness. And, see who's talking about types? For your info, you're not even close to being my type. You're a rag to me.""P-Pardon?" He widened his eyes at me."Let's go, dude. Can't keep on wasting my time here," I added, and walked to his car, leaving him standing like a candle. Yes
BILLIONAIRES Thirty four: Fate
I snorted. I was swimming in irateness, unsure of how to react to this. There was no point in denying the fact that I was angry, cause I was too angry. Was I to go there and give him a crazy slap for having to kiss a lady while dining out with me? How could he be this stupid?I balled my hands up in a fist, walked towards them. Seeing them kiss harder, I felt the need to walk away. They didn't deserve my attention. Rather than get annoyed and maybe lash out at them, I would go and work.I took a deep breath, cleared my throat. They both flinched, and looked at me. Obviously, they didn't feel comfortable to see me. Well, I didn't care. Oh, yes, I did care. I was so upset.I eyed them, just grabbed my purse. "I'll leave. It seems like you guys are… busy."With that, I turned to leave, but then, he held my wrist back. I boiled more. He had the guts to hold me back? How stupid!
BILLIONAIRES Thirty five: For a second time?
I glued my eyes to my laptop, stared at it ardently, yet I wasn't able to pay attention to what I was doing. I needed to do this work as soon as possible. To worsen all this, Rachel had gone on a vacation, Erin was busy doing her work, which meant there was no one to help me out.Frustrated, I slammed the laptop shut, ran my fingers through my hair. Why was I this distracted? Was it because of—"You're okay?" Erin asked.I glimpsed at her, nodded. Goodness knew why she had been staring at me since God-knew-when. I hoped she wasn't going to talk about something unimportant. Yeah, about my feelings."So, about what we spoke about. Um, are you gonna tell him how you feel?" She asked. I knew it."I thought we already talked about that. I said not to say anything about it." I threw my arms up.She giggled. "Fine, fine. But well,
BILLIONAIRES Thirty six: Yes, For a Second Time.
I ensured the tears wouldn't leave my eyes. I was confused, shaken, hurt. To aggravate my fear, Becca and Jan came in as well. Becca was smirking, her stupid mom walking in like a pompous idiot.I sighed to hide my fear. Standing up, I stood in front of my so-called dad, and swallowed hard. "What're you doing here?" I questioned him.He sniggered. Seeing how his face wrinkled, I realized that the man I used to know was quite different. He looked older. But how in the world did he not get smarter, though he was this old already?"Louella." He took a step close. Also, his cracky voice was proof he was getting so old. "Don't try to play smart. You remember the contract, don't you? Did you think you'll be able to escape my haunt?"I gulped in. The only contract I knew about, was the one I had signed with him years ago. And, as far as I knew, that contract had been clarified. What debt was he
BILLIONAIRES Thirty seven: How Audacious.
Like a frozen pig, I sat on the bench which was in the empty park, thinking of the next step to take. I was really trembling in fear. What if dad was going to take thirty percent of my business? But, the thing was, if that document was real, why had he just begun to claim he owned that percentage? Why hadn't he come to me since all these years?"Fire everyone on that floor! You all are stupid!" Seth yelled over the phone. He was probably scolding his workers for allowing dad, Becca and Jan to come into his office.I tugged my hand to the bench, deep in thoughts. My cheek no longer hurt, but there was an after pain crawling around me. Seth had suggested we came here to enjoy the cool breeze, but that didn't stop me from being so tense."Alright, bye," Seth added before turning to me. He was glaring, but only sighed when our eyes met. He sat on the bench, cleared his throat. "Um, so you're okay?"
