Lahat ng Kabanata ng BILLIONAIRES: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I tried to keep myself calm. Since I had begun working, I had attended hundreds of meetings with the top CEOs and chairman of great companies, but this one felt so different.  First, I didn't have an idea of how the chairman looked like. Second, many people always spoke about his personality. They all said he was a cold, bratty dude, so straight forward. I wasn't so bratty, but I was sassy. Though I was confident, my dauntlessness had limits. And, what if this was a limit? What if I wouldn't be able to handle him? There was definitely no one I was scared of. But, when it came to my work, I liked to be careful. I didn't want to make the same mistakes I had made in the past. Yet, irrespective of how bad I needed to work with this company, I wouldn't let anything bring me down. If the chairman had an unscrewed nut in his head, I would deal with that in the right manner. The crazy manner.  Opening the door of my ca

I went through the files on my table, trying to be as steady as possible. I was devastated. For the first time in a long time, working my ass off wasn't able to help me get rid of my bad mood. And, this was all that man's fault.  Being a business woman, a couple of my business' offers had been rejected a lot of times. But, this one felt different. When Erin had decided to help me get qualified for the meeting, I hadn't been optimistic. But, when she had told me I was qualified for it, I had had so many expectations, only for the dude to threaten to send me out of his company.  The door of my office made a slight sound, which caused me to flinch. Raising my head, I saw it was Erin. Of course, it was her. She didn't smile, which meant it was time to get scolded. As she walked towards my table, I moved my eyes to the laptop in front of me.  She settled to sit on the leather chair by the other side of the tabl

For the past three days, I had been working my ass off. In particular, I was working because I really needed to brush off every crazy thought in my head. Seeing dad had left me so devastated. And, to worsen this, I had no one around me. Erin was the only one who comforted me, but she was away, probably still angry at me.  I sipped from my mug of coffee, sighed. Also, I had been working so hard because I really needed my company to be the highest ranked company for the year. If that got to happen, I would earn more profit, as well, my company would stand out even more.  Taking the handout Rachel had prepared for the presentation of my next meeting, I began to go through it. About to swipe to the next page, someone knocked on my door. Had Rachel returned? So quickly? "Come in," I said, my eyes still glued to the paper in my hands. "That was quick. Were you able to get enough?" I asked as soon as she walked in.&nb

"Oh, sorry for interrupting you!" Someone cried from the crowd standing by the door.  Seth and I flinched for a second time, and moved away from each other. Practically, we had both acted like criminals who had been caught committing a crime. I really didn't want to believe what was happening. I would never have expected the journalists to come into the room I had paid for, for the night.  All I wanted was for the bed to swallow me at this moment.  Erin walked to me with widened eyes. She glanced at Seth, turned to me, glanced back at Seth, turned back to me. She was totally dazed. Obviously.  "Louella? What's going on?" She whispered. I would rather say she was being dramatic. Why had she moved her eyes that way? And why in the world was she whispering as if I had been doing something with him? I sighed, quite worried. "How did the media get here? Nothing was

His body seemed to have frozen, as his eyes shot irateness and hatred at me. Though his dirty look was so threatening, not a bit did I feel the need to release his sister from my capture. He had been telling me how well this lie had helped him, so what happened to him now? His throat got cut?  "How did you get my sister?" The way he glared at me, was as if I had murdered his entire family in the past. I wished I could do that.  I sucked my teeth. "Since I'm kind of influential, I managed to get quick information about your family. I heard she owns a boutique, so I went there to get her."  "Did you kidnap her?" He squeezed his face at me, seeming irritated, and snorted.  I shrugged. "Maybe. But, not really. Kidnappers always ask for ransom, but all I need is for you to clarify all that's going on on social media." He clasped his teeth. "Is this a threat? Holdin
