The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 20

THE dining room is filled with joy and laughter as they have their lunch. Amber is slightly getting comfortable to her husband’s friends. The guys talked about their college days, they are in all different courses but they were classmates in one subject and since they are always late, they occupied the seat at the back and that’s the start of a beautiful friendship.

“How about you, Amber?” Lohan asked. “You’re a graduate of pharmacy, right? You didn’t take the boards?”

“I didn’t file.” She answered, how could she file when she lost everything? “Maybe after a year or two. I don’t want stress and I am sure that Rafael will be against it.” She added as she glances at Rafa who just nods in agreement.

“Danielle also graduated in the same course.” Joshua said. “Inf act, she just finished her boards and she’s one of the topnotchers.”

“Yepp! And both of you celebrated and viola! You made her pregnant!” Phil teased and Joshua throw him a table napkin. “What? That’s true, right?” Phil laughed.

“Whatever!” Joshua rolled his eyes.

“Don’t tease Josh too much, Phil.” Rafael said. “Even if that’s how they started, look now, Josh is doing everything just for love.” He grinned.

“Coming from you, eh?” Gabriel said grinning at him.

“Well, people change when it comes to love.” Lohan said, and the rest agreed.

“By the way, Lohan, did you already found her?” Amber asked, referring to his fiancée.

“Yep, but I’ll introduce her next time.” Lohan answered brightly, and happiness is all over his face. She didn’t got the chance to meet who the girl is because the night before their engagement party, the girl run away leaving no trace behind. She still remembered how Lohan reacted, confusion mixed with betrayal, hatred and anger.

“It is good that she didn’t run away when she saw you, though.” She said making him choke on his food and the rest laughed.

“Oh! Believe me, she nearly did.” Lohan sighed. “Do I look like I’m a hideous monster that would rip her to pieces?” Lohan uttered in disbelief making them laugh. “she should be grateful that even if a lot of woman flocks around me, I paid no attention to them because I considered myself tied to her.”

“Whoever she is, she’s lucky to be love by you.” Amber commented.

“Love, eh?” Lohan murmured and sighed.

“Amber, are you really the one who cooked this?” Phil said asked for nth time as he took another bite of the butter shrimp with honey. She also cooked buttered chicken and made jello salad for dessert.

“Ye—”

“Yes! Amber cooked all of this!” Rafael said annoyance. “You’ve already asked that for nth time!” He added but Phil acted as if he didn’t hear him.

“My standards in a woman is getting higher.” Phil said making Rafa sighed.

“You and your high standards!” Lohan said. “That is why you even if you mom arranged you many dates if you’re like that…” he sighed.

“Well, it is not my fault, I found faults on them, one is their attitude.” Phil said. “Being good in bed may count but I can’t stand their attitude.” He added making Amber frown, and he noticed it. “I am not saying that I bed all of those women… And why the heck I am explaining this?” Phil asked in annoyance.

“You’re the one who started it.” Gabriel said.

“Damn!” Phil cursed.

“What are you looking for a girl, then?” Amber asked.

“Brains and beauty!” Lohan answered while grinning.

“And not to mention, sexy!” Joshua said.

“Not a gold digger.” Rafael added. She knows that they are joking but a sharp pain pierce through her heart.

“And more importantly no attitude problem.” Gabriel added.

“Are you guys, Phil?” Phil asked his friends in annoyance. “Amber is asking me and you guys answered. Seriously?” He added making the guys laugh, and looks at her. “I don’t care about the first three, all I want for a girl is that she knows how to respect others to cater my needs.”

“There is a girl I know who will fit your description and not to mention she’s a beauty and brains.” She said, making the guys perk up their interest.

“Who?” Phil asked in excitement.

“Kaylee Legaspi, a friend of mine who is working at MJ restaurant. I’m sure you already meet her.” She answered.

Their attention turns to Lohan when he suddenly dropped his spoon.
