The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 1

“Are you okay, Amber?” Kaylee, her friend asked. “You’ve been like that for the past week.” She added, worried about her friend’s welfare.

“Y-yes. I’m just tired.” Amber answered with a forced smile. “This is not my only job that’s why.” She added.

“Why don’t you take a rest? Or take a day-off just once?” Her friend suggested.

“You know that I can’t do that.” She said with a sigh. “I have to pay my father’s debt.”

“Why don’t you just move to my apartment? My apartment can cater the two of us. Let’s just split the rent.” Kaylee said.

“Thank you, Kaylee but I can save more if I’ll just stay at my place. It is more convenient since it is near here and to my other workplace.” She said and continued washing the dishes but she covered her mouth and ran to the comfort room and vomits.

“Amber, I’ve been meaning to ask this since last week.” Kaylee said while giving her a cup of water. “Are you pregnant?” She asked making her frown.

“What are you talking about, Kaylee? I had my mens—” She suddenly remembered something making her eyes wide while looking at Kaylee. “I—I didn’t have my menstruation last month.” She said with tears on her eyes. Kaylee approached and embraced her.

“Who is the father?” Kaylee asked.

“I—I don’t know.” She lied. She knew him but she doesn’t want to see him again.

“Amber! You will not just give up your virginity to someone you don’t know.” Kaylee sermons. “Unless he raped you…” She said, worried for her.

“No. It happened with my consent.” She said. “He’s a frequent costumer in the bar I worked at. And I don’t know his name.” She lied.

“Amber—”

“Hey! We are not paying you just to have a chit-chat there!” Their strict manager, Antonette said. “Do your job well as the owner will come and inspect.”

“Can you still work?” Kaylee asked her.

“Yes, go to your post or else Miss Antonette will be angry at you.” She said while holding the plate and sponge, Kaylee is hesitant to leave her at first.

“Amber!” Antonette shouted making her drop the plate in surprised. “What the heck are you doing? You’re so stupid! Quickly fix those, the owner is on his way!” Antonette shouted. She secretly sighed, this is the day she will meet the owner of the restaurant yet she broke a plate. Ever since she started working there, she never had the chance to meet the owner since she was always late when he is coming for an inspection.

“Rafael to earth! Rafael Anderson to earth!” Gabriel repeatedly calling him while Joshua and the others are laughing. They were gathered on Joshua’s office who just landed from London due to a business trip.

“Ha?” He asked frowning. “What’s your problem?” He asked.

“You!” They said in unison.

“Tell me buddy, did someone struck you in the heart?” Jonathan asked.

“Who’s the unlucky girl?” Gabriel teased.

“Or did you make someone pregnant?” Joshua asked.
