Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 22|Strangers Now
[Camari] Luckily, we chose a spot in the corner of the bar. We could see the whole club, but they couldn't see us from where they sat. I came here to enjoy the night with my new best friend, not to make a scene. Wait a minute. Why should I feel this way? I had the right to be wherever I wanted without feeling intimidated by their presence. After all, they and I had nothing to do with each other anymore. We were strangers. "This is the first time you've asked me to come to a place like this." Jasmine meaningfully looked at me. "Usually, you only want to have dinner at restaurants or cafes." "We couldn't drink on weekdays. We could get fired if we get the books wrong the next day." I defended myself. "Right. And on the weekends, you're always out of town visiting your parents or dating Farrell," she teased again. I chuckled at the memory. "I'm their only child. So, I've felt obligated to take care of them for as long as they've been around." That habit stopped when I married Farre
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 23|Annoying Incident
Jasmine and I exchanged glances. The car did not exceed the speed limit. My best friend obeyed the traffic lights as we passed through the intersection. Were any of the car's lights not working? However, Jasmine made sure she checked all the lights this morning."In that case, we don't need to panic," I suggested. "It's probably just a periodic check.""I hope it's just a misunderstanding," she whispered.Jasmine pulled the car over. The policeman also stopped behind us. I held the hand of my best friend, who was near the gearshift. She turned her head and smiled at me. The window on her side was tapped, so Jasmine opened it."Good evening, Miss," greeted the policeman kindly. "Please show me your license.""First, may I know the problem, sir?" asked Jasmine."Show me your papers. Only then I can tell you what the problem is," the man insisted. Strange. That wasn't the procedure.Jasmine glanced at me, but she didn't say anything. Obeying the policeman's words, she took out her wallet

In the morning, I started my activity with swimming. Meeting Otis and Jasper was something I enjoyed, especially when they invited me to have breakfast with them. I liked Otis's chef cooking. So, I put my pride aside by having breakfast there every day.Otis and Jasper smiled meaningfully when the food on my plate was gone. Otis invited me to add more to my meal. An offer that, of course, I gladly accepted. They also filled their plates casually."You guys must want to know what happened last night," I guessed. I smiled as they simultaneously looked at me. "Those two cops thought my friend and I were drunk. Not satisfied with their two tests, they wanted to check our bags.""I've saved all the footage proving their arrogance, Miss. Whenever you need it, I'll give it to you. We know you've just come from the club and haven't had any alcohol," Jasper explained, surprising me.How stupid of me. Of course, Jasper knew everything. He knew Farrell had cornered me in an empty room at the hos

The man triumphantly smiled as he looked at Otis. He crossed his arms over his chest and sat back. The man sitting opposite him looked at us in confusion.I couldn't see my superior's expression because I stood behind him. But I was sure he could handle himself well. This man never showed his emotions whenever faced with a problem. Even when yelled at by his family, he didn't retaliate with anger.“Please forgive us. We entered the wrong room,” Otis explained politely. We looked at him in confusion. “Please continue your conversation. Excuse us.”I turned to Bruce. His face was deathly pale as if he had just seen a ghost. We didn't have the wrong room. I looked back at the arrogant man. What an ignorant man. He must have done this on purpose to embarrass Otis. Did everyone in this world have to be his enemy?The cheating man straightened his seat when he saw me. Focused on mocking Otis with his gaze, he didn't notice I was in the group. But I ignored him and obeyed my superior's order
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 26|Facing Weaknesses
[Otis]Camari accepting my job offer was good news. Unfortunately, she gave me conditions that were difficult for me to fulfill. She was the only person I could trust, so I complied with her request. I couldn't force her to say yes.Isaac had prepared a specific employment contract for Camari at my request. The letter was more detailed than the one Bruce had signed. Although I trusted Camari, I didn't want to be naive. She could have betrayed me like my two previous assistants.“Twenty years in this field is a long time, sir,” Jasper consoled. “I'm sure you can become a respected CEO to your employees. We'll start with one colleague per week until you get used to meeting them face to face.”“If I fail, they'll laugh at me.” My hands were shaking just thinking about it.“What happened in the past won't be repeated, sir. Because I will always accompany you,” he added, reassuring me.I smiled at him. “It must be tiring working for me, doesn't it? I have too many weaknesses and don't show

In the morning, Camari wasn't swimming as usual. I was doing laps by myself while she was by the pool with Jasper. I was starting to like our morning meetings. Doing activities with someone other than Jasper was fun.I was done swimming, but they were still busy practicing. I covered my body with my robe and sat on one of the chairs. I checked my phone as I waited for them to finish their business.“Thank you for waiting,” Camari cheerfully said. Her face looked very fresh with sweats on her forehead and neck. “Shall we go back now?”“Sure,” I agreed. “You'll have breakfast at our place?”“Is that an invitation?” she asked hopefully.“You can have breakfast with us every morning. You're my assistant. We can discuss things before work,” I suggested.Camari turned to Jasper. “Is he always that passionate with his work?” she whispered but loud enough for me to hear it.“You wouldn't be able to imagine.” Jasper gave her a meaningful look.“Or we could talk about something other than work,

I was glad our lunch meeting went well. That Ronan Christensen was a good person. Not only did he admire Grandpa and take him as his example, but he also treated Otis decently. He was different from the attitude of the hotel visitors who passed us in the hotel lobby or sat in the restaurant dining room. They stared at Otis, hiding a mocking smile or whispering with their table mates. Otis wasn't that ugly, though. Back at the office, I couldn't wait for the time to go home. Bruce handled all the files, and I just watched him work. So, I was bored doing nothing but picking up and depositing the documents into the archive room. “I regret betraying Mr. Haworth,” Bruce admitted as he looked at the door to the CEO's office. “I won't be able to work in this position anymore because of that case.” I remained silent, not responding to his outburst. Our current positions weren't much different. I couldn't get a job because of the case at my previous workplace, either. Otis was kind enough t
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 29|Unexpected Invitation
The trip from the city where I work to my parent's house wasn't long, only about five hours if the traffic was smooth. Therefore, there were no significant obstacles to coming to visit on weekends. Anyone could come back on Sunday night so they could work on Monday.But this man was beyond my expectations. I met him for the last time in the hospital, sitting up in bed. I couldn't imagine how tired he must have been to travel five hours by car. Let alone standing in front of me.“Who's there, Camari?” asked Mom, who was following behind me. “Oh! Angus!? What are you doing there? Come on, get in. Camari, why don't you let our guests in?”Grandpa chuckled. “She must be surprised to see me.”“Grandpa, the doctor will be furious that you traveled so far a few days after surgery,” I protested.“I know my body best, not the doctor,” he argued. He entered the house while being led by Niccolo. “I'm hungry. What do you cook, Cara? Is there any food left for me?”“I cooked Camari's favorite meal
