Semua Bab LIES: MY BILLIONAIRE EX (ENGLISH VERSION) : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chapter 12It was Tuesday, my first day at Jackson Company, where I would be modeling for their perfume.As I was getting ready, my daughter came in, wanting to tell me something.“Mom!” she said. Even though she was only 5 years old, she spoke like an adult, unlike other children her age who still stuttered.“Yes! What does my dearest baby want?” I asked her.“Can I come with you?” she asked, making me pause what I was doing. “I promise I’ll behave, and I want to watch you work!” she added, making me sigh. “Please, Mom!”I had no choice but to agree.“Okay, okay! But promise is promise, okay!” I told her. “You have to keep your word.”“Yay!” she exclaimed, then quickly ran off to her room.I continued looking for something to wear. I finally settled on a summer dress with a sunflower pattern, yellow and blue, which made me smile. I got dressed quickly and waited for my daughter on the sofa. A few moments later, she came out with a smile on her face, wearing a dress just like mine. We

Chapter 14Andrew's POVI had been seething with anger for quite some time. The way Rhian looked at her partner during the photoshoot had ignited something in me. I knew I had no right to be angry since we weren’t together, but I couldn’t help feeling jealous.'Jealous?' I thought to myself, incredulous.“Me? Jealous of that guy? He doesn’t even stand a chance against my looks!” I muttered under my breath, staring intently at my laptop. My grip on the pen tightened until it snapped, a physical manifestation of my frustration as I listened to the director discuss what they would do next.I stormed out of my office, determined to order my secretary to put a stop to the photoshoot. But when I stepped outside, I found no sign of her. This prompted me to head to the studio myself, where the photoshoot was taking place.As I walked through the hallway, employees greeted me, but I ignored them all, my focus solely on my destination. I didn’t even acknowledge the board members I passed by; I

Chapter 16“F-fine, fine, you can do a DNA test with your child. T-tomorrow, tomorrow is fine!” she stammered, and I couldn’t help but smirk at her desperation.“No, it has to be done now. Tomorrow I have important matters to attend to,” I said, standing up from my chair. It was already lunch time, and I wanted to get this over with. I started walking towards the door, but Carmela remained standing there, as if she had no intention of leaving.“Let’s go!” I urged, and she finally started walking toward me. She reached for my arm, but I quickly sidestepped, catching the shift in her expression from annoyance to frustration.Before long, we arrived at the ground floor, where many employees were glancing at me with curiosity. I could feel their eyes shift to the two women accompanying me.As we walked, someone suddenly bumped into Carmela, and she reacted sharply, scolding the child for dirtying her clothes. I ignored it at first, but then Carmela’s voice cut through the air.“Fuck! Are

Chapter 18Rhian POVA week had passed, and Mom reminded me that I needed to go to the company to attend a board meeting. A company had been hit hard by the storm, and many employees were affected, so I quickly came up with a good way to address their needs.Even though I was nervous, I still had to be strong for the people who were relying on help from the company. While on the road, I could think freely without worrying because Dad and Mom hired a driver so I wouldn't get tired from driving. Suddenly, I felt for my phone in my pocket because it rang. When I looked, it was Mom calling, so I answered immediately. She told me not to be nervous because I could handle it. I could even hear Dad's voice saying that he and Angie would be joining us next month and that my secretary was waiting for me inside the lobby, so I shouldn't worry.As Dad said, I saw the secretary he mentioned in the car that stopped in front of the company. The company's employees were standing there waiting for me,

Chapter 20 When we arrived at the table where my meeting was waiting, I cleared my throat, causing the man sitting there to look up at me. "I'm sorry for being late, Mr. Jackson!" I said, noticing that he seemed a bit dazed. After a moment, he seemed to snap back to reality, especially when my secretary cleared her throat. "Yes, I mean—no!" he stammered, still looking somewhat disoriented. "So, what do you have to offer to become a part of our company, Mr. Jackson?" I asked directly. "Ehem, before I discuss my proposal, can I ask you something, Rhian?" he said, gesturing for me to sit down. "But please, let’s eat first," he added. I took a seat across from him and signaled for my secretary to sit as well. Andrew flagged down a waitress to request the menu. After he placed his order, I was about to say what I wanted when he spoke again, still looking at me. He ordered all my favorites except for shrimp, which I was allergic to. Strangely enough, he ordered the same for my
