บททั้งหมดของ Lies in the Billionaire's Eyes: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Chapter 1 “Can you stop that?” The woman beside me captured my attention when she suddenly said that. Annoyance was painted all over her face. I did not answer anymore and stopped tapping the floor with my foot. I often do this whenever I am nervous. It's already a mannerism of mine ever since. Instead, I heaved a light breath to calm myself. There are many of us lined up outside the office of the company's CEO. I swear, I am not confident that I will be hired with my small credentials. “I graduated as a Magna Cum Laude,” I heard the others say. They were all bragging since I arrived here; it intimidates me even more. I have nothing compared to them. I did not graduate college as I am just an undergrad. I did not even become a Dean's Lister during college—I was just the average type of a student. While them, their credentials are gold and piling up. Really? Why are you here, Dahlia? I shut my eyes firmly. “What's taking so long? No one is being called yet.” One of the

Chapter 3“Fuck,” I uttered. I was staring at the furniture and appliances that Mr. Cohen sent me. Until now, I couldn't figure out why he would give me tons of things when my place is not that huge! “You're all giving me a headache,” I mumbled, might be losing my mind for talking to these things. Can you imagine it? He sent me a refrigerator—and take note, it's not just a simple refrigerator; it's the most expensive ref! It's a double door and there is a small screen on the other side of it. He even sent me a microwave, blender, air fryer, chairs, table, vases, and a lot of things. I took a deep sigh before I quickly grabbed my towel and took a shower before I headed straight to the company. Today is my first day as his secretary. I should be nervous, but that's not the situation. I kept thinking of the reason why he suddenly gave me those expensive things. “Sh*t,” the woman in front of me dropped the paper from her grasp when she saw me. I roamed my eyes around and they all loo

Chapter 5 I quickly stood away from him and pulled back my hand after I realized everything. My hands were cold and my d*mn heart was pounding. I had to hide my face for a while as I turned my back a little. “It seems like you were dreaming so I was trying to wake you up,” I gave him a glance, but I chose not to stare at him for too long this time. Why does he keep calling me Celeste? Why is he always acting like this? “I'm sorry,” he uttered. “I had a bad dream,” I heard him heave a sigh. He probably dreamed of his ex fiancé, but why would he call it a bad dream? Did he dream of how she died? Slowly, I could not help but to get curious about what really happened. “That's fine. I-I uh…” I paused and clenched my hand. I could not even construct a sentence. “I bought a sandwich and an iced coffee,” I said and showed him the food on his desk. Sean seems uneasy. The frustration and the sorrows he has from the dark past were all painted on his face right now. I have n

Chapter 7 “Wait, Sean!” I exclaimed while chasing my breath. I paused from walking and sat on the bench. We just finished riding the roller coaster and we have been riding various rides since earlier. “Are you okay?” What's the matter?” He asked worriedly. I grabbed the bottle of water that we bought and drank it immediately. “I'm tired, I can't ride another one. It would be my death,” I uttered and shut my eyes firmly. “Well, you've been screaming in every ride we rode.” He chuckled, probably teasing me. “I'm not!” I exclaimed and moved my eyes away. “I…I was just having fun but I was not scared,” I reasoned out. Honestly, I was screaming because of fear. For pete’s sake, everything that we rode almost took my soul away— it's breathtaking! “You aren't scared? Maybe that's the reason why you were clenching my hand,” he heaved a sigh and glanced at his hand with pity. Gosh, it looks like a tomato with its redness. I bit my lower lip and had nothing to say anymore.

Chapter 9 Third Person's POV “I'm leaving tomorrow for London,” Sean mentioned while he was drinking with Ford in the bar. That bar is for billionaire people like them. Unlike the others, it's quite peaceful there. “So? I don't care,” Ford replied and even rolled his eyes while busy typing on his phone. But then, when Sean didn't say anything, it made him pause. His eyes slowly shifted at him, and there he was, staring at the alcohol in front of him with his head traveling somewhere else. That was when Ford got intrigued. It's been a long time since he saw Sean being like this. “What's the matter, Cohen? Let me guess, it's a woman, right?” His brows raised before a tiny smirk appeared on his lips. He was right. Sean only shut his eyes firmly and drank the alcohol in his glass. He clenched his jaw while still bothered. “Is it your new secretary?” He asked again with a sigh. “I don't want to leave her here. I asked her to come but she declined,” Dahlia is totally d
