The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 19

AMBER let out a heavy sigh as she closes the book and placed it on the table; she cannot understand what she is reading no matter how she concentrates as her mind is wandering away.

Lohan did keep his promise but it seems that she is the one revealing herself. She let out another sigh and stare at the calming garden. She told Rafael her life the other night so there is no problem, what she didn’t say is where she will use the money she asked him.

Amber is in the middle of her thought when Draco and Copper approached her.

“Where did you go again?” She asked as she pets them. She is now used that the two will suddenly show their selves and be gone in an instant. “Are you hungry?” She asked and they wagged their tail. “Let’s go inside then.” She said and the two immediately went to the door waiting for her. She grabbed her book and the emptied plate, then went inside the house.

“Do you need something, ma’am?” Linda asked when she entered the kitchen.

“I will just feed Draco and Copper.” She answered and glanced at the two who are now in front of their plates in the corner.

“I’ll do it, ma’am.” Linda said.

“It’s okay, I will do it.” She smiled. “Just continue what you are doing.”

“If you say so…” Linda said still hesitating but continued washing the chicken that she defrost when Amber starts putting dog food on the dog plate. “Ma’am, is Sir Rafael’s friends will have their lunch here?”

“I think so.” She answered, not fully sure. She checked the time on her wrist watch and its already eleven. She puts water on the dog’s drinking bowl and added their oral powder dextrose. “What will you cook?” She asked when she’s done catering for the dogs.

“Chicken stew, ma’am.” Linda answered. “Or do you have something in mind?”

She didn’t get the chance to answer when Berta entered the kitchen. “Linda, are you done cooking? I badly need a hand in the second floor.” Berta said, she cannot blame her because the house big, and Allison is strict when it comes to cleanliness. “I’m sorry, ma’am Amber, I didn’t see you there.” Berta apologized.

“I still haven’t started chopping the chicken.” Linda said.

“You can go and accompany her, Linda.” Amber said.

“But ma’am the…”

“I will be the one to cook.” Amber cut her off.

“But ma’am…”

“No, buts, Linda.” She said. “I know how to cook so I will not burn the house down.” She smiled. Linda cannot do anything but to agree.

“Just call us if you need a help.” Linda said before exiting the kitchen.

“It’s just you two and me now.” She said as she stares at Draco and Copper who are now lying down on the floor and looking at her.

RAFAEL and his friends are now done finalizing their plan on how to put John Yllanez behind bars. He saw how Joshua is determined to put him behind bars and he cannot blame his friend. John Yllanez is a scheming bastard who puts the Montereal family into a great dilemma and even plans to steal Danielle away from Joshua. He will also do the same if someone will try to harm his family.

“Is it Amber who bakes these croissants?” Lohan asked as he took a bite. “The taste is still the same.” He whispered but Rafael still heard it.

“Have you met Amber before?” He can’t control his urge not to ask.

“When we had a simple celebration?” Lohan answered with a question mark.

“I saw the shock in your eyes when I introduced you to her, Lohan but I decided to ignore it.” Rafael said. “And I saw you talking to her in a very familiar way and both of you are so friendly at each other.”
