10. Under the Radar
“Schedule the meeting on the weekday!” Andrew snarled. “Why they scheduled the board meeting on the goddamn weekend?”
“Because they’re free on the weekend.” Andrew’s assistant, Max, replied calmly.
“Do I look like I’m free on the weekend?” Andrew snapped. He didn’t want telling anybody that he had to be a bartender every weekend for the whole month because of some stupid bet.
“No… You’re free everyday.” Said Andrew’s cousin, Henry, followed with a roar of laughter.
Because right now Andrew was not in his office, he was in Henry’s penthouse. And instead of working, he was playing video game. Very much the opposite of what he was trying to present himself.
“At least, I earn some money which you heartlessly spending it.”
Earn some money was disparaging statement. Andrew was a chairman of some multi-billion worth companies acr

It’s half an hour past six in the afternoon, the sun almost set. Andrew pulled his car in the front of European classic style brick house. “Thank you.” Said Lila to Andrew. He was holding the car door open from the outside. Lila stood firmly on the ground, carrying her bag on the shoulder, she let out a brilliant smile. “I mean it, thank you. You made my day, and I’m sorry we lost the game.” Andrew gave a tilted smile at Lila and looked at her gently. Leaning on the side of the car, he asked. “So, this is your father’s best friend’s house?” Lila nodded once. “Have you consider finding your own place?” “Yea, still looking for the perfect one.” Andrew hummed. “Go on then, you said they’re waiting for you.” “Yea, see you…” Lila waved, then she walked on the gravel path towards the front door. As soon as Lila disappeared inside the house, Andrew got into the car. He didn’t drove away immediately, instead he pulled out his phone and called

Although Lila didn’t have to do that since the café was empty but the man who was lowering his hat to cover his face sitting on the other corner. Walking straight, Lila ordered. “I want strawberry juice, a glass of milk, ice tea, and a glass of warm water…” She paused, looking at the food display. “That tuna panini too.” The waiter nodded, taking Lila’s card. “You want to give the milk for the kitten? You don’t know that kittens are lactose intolerant?” Lila smiled then replied. “I do. And I also know that diluting it isn’t good either.” “Oh…” The waiter’s face looked relief, he quickly processed Lila’s order. “I’ll bring your orders to your table.” Lila took her card back from him. “Thanks.” Soon, the waiter came with Lila’s order then put them all on the table while Lila and t

The kitten was sleeping on Aunt Becky’s lap. “I’m leaving. Take care of my baby.” Said Lila as she walked by the sitting room. “You better give it a name.” Uncle Malcom voiced his irritation. His tired tone made Lila giggled. Last night when Lila got home, Aunt Becky welcomed her.

His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 16. Responsible Feeling
Under grad students usually made the lobby garden busy for almost twenty-four hour everyday, they come and go through it. But not tonight. The gala had it closed. Lila stepped to the empty lobby alone. Scanning all direction of the lobby, she found nothing. Maybe I was wrong. She concluded. “I’m so impressed.” A voice came, walking from inner lobby to the outside. Lila didn’t have to turn around to see who said it. She knew very well and also hate it. Professor Gustav stood beside her. “First time attending the gala, you manage to get along with the second prince. Wow.” He clapped coldly and out of rhyme. “You should share that kind of skill to the rest of us.” Pretending not to hear a word from him, Lila scanned the empty lobby once again. Her eyes roamed everywhere, except at the man beside her. But Professor Gustav seemed unnoticed, he kept on talking. “Though his speech implied about our special activity,”
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 17. Déjà vu
The air around Lila’s fist and Professor Gustav’s face stormed sharply. It felt suffocating to Professor Gustav. He finally saw the punch coming, but too shock to make a move. He never thought, the obedient girl he knew all these years could do this kind of blow. Closing his eyes, waiting for the punch to come, he didn’t realize that the storm had stopped and the suffocating air dropped suddenly. Andrew’s large palm held Lila’s punch just an inch from Professor Gustav’s nose. “Don’t!” Andrew shook his head, gazing into Lila’s eyes. “Not worth it.” Few seconds Andrew endured Lila’s deadly glare while still holding her fist. “What are you doing here?” Lila hissed through her teeth, jerking her fist free from Andrew’s grasp. “Saving you…” Having his sense back as the still and silent surrounding assured him that Lila’s punch was aborted, Professor Gustav opened his eyes and blinked few times to calm his shaking nerves. Feeling calm, his cocky attitude back again. “Listen to him,

“What is your problem, woman?” “I said, let’s go to the vet with me.” Lila repeated in a tired tone. “Your dog looks in pain.” “I heard you!” The man retorted sharply. “Again, my dog is just being naughty, he’s not sick. Besides, it’s my dog, my decision.” Lila’s voice started to raise. “Not anymore when you kick your dog in front of witnesses.” “Or we can go straight to the police.” Andrew added as he positioned himself standing next to Lila. “That way, you can no longer be with your dog, and your dog will be safe and sound in the vet. Your choice.” The man cursed in foreign language. He threw belittling angry looks while pulling his dog, getting ready to leave. “I can make you deported from this country, you know.” Andrew slid to the same foreign language, halting the man’s step. He also noticed Lila was astonished, probably within the moment her mind was forming questions for him. Thinking he would cross that bridge when he got there, then he told the man. “You can kiss your
