Semua Bab The Billionaire's Secret: Bab 151 - Bab 160

-Emmet-My business proposal failed. I don’t know how it happened, or what the hell happened, but at the end of the day. My business pitch failed. I tried to remember what happened from the very beginning to know exactly when I made a mistake, but I couldn’t remember when I made the mistake. “How was the meeting?” Garrett asked. He always knows when to call. “I failed,” I replied. Still trying to analyze what the hell happened. “Failed?” Garrett asked in confusion. “But your pitch is one of the best I have heard.” “I don’t know what happened,” I said in disbelief, “I kept replaying what happened earlier, trying to see where it went wrong. But I just can’t figure out where.” “Maybe they’ll reconsider it,” Garrett said reassuringly. But I don't feel reassured. In business, there are only two outcomes. You either got it or you don’t. “How is Ems?” I asked, changing the subject. “I saw her this morning,” Garrett replied. “Well, I just saw her having breakfast with your mother, an

-Brie-I thought I would never see him again. The last time I saw him was in bed, in his hotel room. I woke up early to see that his mask was slightly lifted on his forehead, giving me a clear view of his handsome face. I know that it was part of our deal not to see each other’s faces or know each other’s names. And I was really planning on doing that. But fate had other plans for us.That day, I pulled his mask down to let him know that I had never seen his face. But Ralph would never leave me alone with someone he didn’t know, which is why I also know his name. Still, I really thought that everything had already ended between us. I never thought that I would be able to see him again.I gave up the thought of meeting him again, ever since my father told me that I couldn’t go to the US. I am not sure if this was what people call fate, but it kinda felt that way. When I saw him standing beside his broken car, it felt like everything was finally falling into place. There was some kin

-Brie-I woke up early the next day to prepare breakfast. Last night was something else. It was different from the first time since this time we both knew each other’s faces. But I know too well what it meant when someone told you that there are no strings attached. Ralph came in and one look at me, he already knew that something had happened between me and Emmet. But just like what he did before, he kept quiet about it. No questions asked. I have to be honest, but a part of me was afraid to see him this morning.I know that both of us promised that there are no strings attached. But I can't help but be hopeful that maybe, maybe he would hold on to me. That maybe I would mean something more to him than just a casual fuck. I have never been in love, never found someone to love because I was trapped in my own world, A world that I didn't create, but one that was made for me.I didn't wait for him for breakfast; instead, I started eating after I finished cooking. That's when I hea

The driver never said a word, just rushed me to the hospital that Vincent’s grandmother owns. I went straight to the special VIP floor where Vincent and Tony were waiting. “You need to calm down,” Vincent said in a low voice. “How the fuck should I calm down?” I asked furiously, but still trying my best to keep my voice low. “By thinking about the effect this has on your sister,” Vincent replied in his non-negotiable voice. “If you keep being a hot-headed teenager and keep on lashing out at her instead of letting her know that you have her back. You would lose her.” I looked at Vincent, and I knew that what he said was nothing but a warning. I know that I make fuck up decision most of the times but that does

-Brie-It’s been days since he left. Days since I had been staring at his calling card, thinking whether I should send him a message or not. Ralph said that he had a serious conversation with him. And he felt like there was really a connection between us. But he also warned me that we still don’t know him that well. He asked if I wanted to do a background check on Emmet which I declined because I didn’t feel that was the right thing to do. I hate doing those kinds of things because it’s invasive to someone’s privacy. I still preferred the old-fashioned way of getting to know each other. For me, if someone decided to tell you their whole truth, it only means that you are special to them. That was what I was hoping for with Emmet. That I would be enough for him to show me who he really was. My phone rang, and when I saw who it was, it made me smile. “Princess,” Abby said breathlessly. “I’m so sorry for calling back so late.” “Not a problem, Abby, I wasn’t even busy,” I replied.
