All Chapters of Desired by the Billionaire : Chapter 51 - Chapter 59

Cassandra Louise’s point of viewHindi na niya naitago ang tuwa. Halos mapatalon siya bago mahigpit na niyakap ang pabango at paulit ulit pa iyong tiningnan na para bang baka bigla kong bawiin ang sinabi ko. "Thank you, ate!" Mahina akong natawa habang pinagmamasdan siya. She really was easy to please. Napakasimple lang ng mga bagay na nagpapasaya sa kanya, at nakakahawa ang excitement niya. Habang nakatingin ako sa kanya, kusa namang pumasok sa isip ko ang isang tanong na kanina pa gumugulo sa akin. "Aren't you curious?" Napalingon siya. "Kahit konti?" "Bakit may mga ganiyan akong gamit?" Huminto siya sa paglalagay ng pabango sa bag niya at seryosong tumingin sa akin. Akala ko ay pag-iisipan pa niya ang isasagot, pero kabaligtaran ang nangyari. "Not really." "I don't really care." "As long as wala kang masamang ginagawa." "Kung paano mo nakuha 'yan..." "Bahala ka na roon." "We trust you." Diretso niyang sinabi iyon nang walang pag-aalinlangan. Walang pagdududa sa boses

Vincete Amadeo’s point of view“You looked stressed,” puna ni Klaus habang nakasandal sa gilid ng desk ko, his usual amused expression already telling me that he had no intention of leaving anytime soon. Bahagya kong tinaas ang tingin mula sa documents na hawak ko. “Bakit ba nandito na naman kayo ng kakambal mo? Wala ba kayong ibang gagawin kung hindi guluhin ako?” “Wow,” natatawang singit ni Cedric mula sa couch. “Good morning din sa’yo.” I rolled my eyes and went back to the papers in front of me. Maaga akong umalis ng bahay kanina dahil sunod-sunod ang business meetings na kailangan kong puntahan. I had barely finished one meeting before another started, and by the time I finally got back to my office, I was already expecting to spend the rest of the afternoon catching up on everything I had missed. Instead, here I was, trying to work while Klaus and Cedric decided to make themselves comfortable inside my office. Napabuntong-hininga ako at marahang hinimas ang gilid ng ulo ko

Vicente Amadeo’s point of viewShe smiled faintly.“But if you’re expecting me to spy on her, I’m not doing that.”“I never asked you to spy.”“Your face says otherwise.”I leaned back again.Agnes was irritatingly perceptive sometimes.“I just need information.”“And if she doesn’t want to tell you?”“Then I’ll leave it.”She looked at me for a long moment before finally nodding.“Then talk to her yourself.”That was exactly what I had planned to do.After leaving Agnes, I went straight home.The house was quieter than usual when I arrived. I removed my coat and handed it to one of the staff before walking inside.I didn't have to look far to find Cassandra.She was in the living room, sitting comfortably while looking through something on her phone. There were a few shopping bags placed on the nearby table.I stopped.My eyes immediately went to them.Another designer bag.My jaw tightened slightly.Cassandra noticed me and looked up.“You’re home early.”“Not really.”I walked clos

Vicente Amadeo’s point of view“You’re still thinking about it?”Napatingin ako kay Agnes nang marinig ko ang boses niya mula sa may pintuan ng office ko. Nakatayo siya roon habang nakapamulsa, with that knowing look on her face na parang alam na alam niya kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip ko kahit wala pa akong sinasabi. Hindi ko na rin kailangang tanungin kung ano ang tinutukoy niya. I already knew.“Come on, Kuya, get over it,” puna niya habang tuluyan nang pumapasok sa office ko. “Ilang araw na. Hindi mo pa rin ba kayang bitawan?”Bahagya akong napabuntong hininga at muling ibinalik ang tingin sa laptop ko. “It’s not about that, Agnes.”“Sure, sure.”I ignored the disbelief in her voice and continued reading the email in front of me. Hindi ko naman talaga siya tinawag dito para pag-usapan si Cassandra. I had a more important reason for asking her to come to my office, at ayokong maubos ang oras namin sa pang aasar niya.“We have a big investor coming,” seryoso kong sambit habang ini-

“So?”Napatingin ako nang bumukas ang pinto ng office ko.Klaus and Cedric walked in without bothering to knock, as usual.“Any news, Vicente?” tanong ni Klaus habang nakangisi.“Ngayon ko lang napapayag si Agnes,” sagot ko habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa laptop. “So shut the fuck up, both of you.”“So scary,” pang-aasar ni Cedric habang kunwari ay natatakot.“Moron.”Tumawa siya at umupo sa couch.Klaus, meanwhile, walked behind my chair and leaned down to look at the documents on my desk.“New investor?”“Mhm.”“He’s a big, big time.”“Exactly.”I moved the papers away from him.“Private.”“Relax.”“I am relaxed.”“You look like you're about to kill someone.”“Maybe I am.”Tumawa siya.I ignored them and continued reading.“He wants to invest a ridiculous amount of money,” paliwanag ko. “That’s why I need Agnes. She's good at this. She knows how to deal with people.”“Playing with them?”“Mhm.”“Toying them as if they're worth more than her life?”“Exactly.”Cedric nodded. “She’s
