The Bride Of The Billionaire novel Chapter 11

"Lorence, Señorito ordered you to go at his room immediately!"

"Why mother Sharn?" I ask, aish! why I'm so sleepy?

My heart is in race again as the memories of yesterday popped up.

"Don't ask! your smile is weird. Hmm?" I went in my right state as she said that. I'm really imagining things at the middle of our conversation. Heck!

I composed myself and walk upstairs.

"Leave your vacuum!" she commanded

"Why?"

"Don't ask!"

"Mother Sharn, I know where he inherited something" I smile and the vacuum then continue walking.

After his damn security system logging in I just went outside, I don't care if he'll kick me out because I just crashed inside suddenly. We'll mother Sharn said I'll go here immediately, right?

Where is he?

"Raze?" I call

"Raze?"

"I'll destroy your miniature games hero collection here!" I yell

I check his office but he wasn't there, is mother Sharn playing me around? " I check his walk in closet and he wasn't here too. That man!

"Ouc--- aaaaAAAAhhhh!" I scream when I bump into his chest and I'm sitting at my butt now and after seeing him half naked, fresh from the shower, wiping his hair to dry and only towel was covering at his lower part.

Looking at him, at his whole was weird makes my face warm and my ears too so I look away.

"Come here"

"Huh?" I don't know what to react and I don't know what 'come here' means. I turn my gaze at him and I saw how playful his smile is.

"Here" he lend me a hand

"Y-your towel might drop" I answer, why I can't move on my own? He smile even more that made my heart thump and I even blush.

He suddenly grab my hand and pull me up, I wasn't prepared so I end up that pretty close to him. He's a bit wet because there's a drop of water from his hair but I can only feel his warmth that made me feel some butterflies in my stomach and shiver down to my spine as I feel something massive at his front.

This can't be, why he's handsome in any way?

"A-ahm!" I don't know what to say, I just realized that we're in the position for seconds.

"You're way much beautiful this close" he whisper seriously.

"Raze!" I snap his chest.

"but you're way much cuter when you blush" he added and slowly let me go.

He go straight inside the closet.

"A-ahm, I'll wait outside" I said

"What's the purpose of waiting me here if you'll leave? " he suddenly asked like teasing me.

"I didn't wait, I just check where you are!" I fired back, trying to make is sound casual though my heartbeat affects my state.

"Alibi" I heard he said before I totally out.

I just sit at his couch and look at his stuffs, he's handsomely organized, his books were perfectly arrange at the shelves, the paintings were nicely hanged and in proportions at the wall, the lights of his room were pretty romantic this time and the shoes he often use have a separate rack hear the door but he has a bunch at his walk in closet.

"Chump!" he destructed my imaginations.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"After breakfast prepare yourself and we'll go together at the company" he said.

"Huh? I thought I'll claim the prize around 1:00pm later"

This man confused me.

"I'm the owner, I can do what I want" he added while spraying his manly perfume that even I smell that in distance.

"Is that all?" I asked so I can leave.

"As a girl, what kind of presents do you like?" he asked me while he put his hands on his pocket and he's leaning at the wall.

"A-ahm! I-I don't know" I stuttered, why he need to know? No one ever give me a present, I mean if it talks about a guy.

I was that introvert but at least I'm trying to go out of my shell since this is a new place, being good at socializing may help but still I want peace.

I want that alone time under the dark.

"Seriously?"

"Well, flowers that paired with chocolates and a bracelet inside the box will do, I just saw on the movie" I suggest that  change his expression.

That can't help?

"Isn't that lame? I'll meet with Sabrina later, do you think she'll like it?"

"I-I don't know" I respond and look away.

Why I feel this way? maybe Sabrina was the girl at the coffee shop. Do I sound jealous? I hope not!

"What else girls like?" he asked again.

"Can't you ask other girls? maybe Erika have an idea because if you ask me I'll answer everything is fine as long as you put effort and the most important is your presence" I coldly answer

"I have to go now, I still have a work to do" I added and left him. Aish! I hate this feeling even more.

"What's wrong?" mother Sharn asked me as our path crossed.

"Ah? I-I'm just tired, I-I mean I'm sleepy" I answer and conserve a smile.

"Are you sure? Where is he?" she asked

"I'm fine mother Sharn, hmm! maybe he'll go downstairs at any moment" I answer formally and yawn,sorry! Just for show.

"Okay! Anyway please go with me at the kitchen"

"Why?"

"Just don't ask, follow me!" I did not respond then I did follow her silently.

"Don't you know that he was that hard worker but stubborn? But he did change now" mother Sharn is starting to tell a story while walking but the weirdest thing is that she's laughing. What's funny though?

"I was here before the day he was born so I knew what kind of person and what was he made of not until the day comes that challenge his so much." I'm listening carefully while following her.

"He almost cursed that day and the day he was born but he try his best with regret yet that day change him also." I suddenly feel curiosity. What happened that day?

"At least he become who he is right now mother Sharn" I replied then she was shut in silence.

That was a cliffhanger.

"Whoooohh" I whisper, I was surprise by the food that was organized at the countertop. There's a lot.

Waffles, mushed potatoes and some meat, pancakes with gravy, pork loin and cheese, bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, cold pizza, tomato toast with macadamia ricotta, avocado toast with egg, berry and yogurt smoothie, berry breakfast parfait and some parfait that looks delicious since they present it great on the glasses.

"Good morning Lorence" it's chef Markus "The chef #1" greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning chef Markus" I replied and force to smile.

"All of this looks delicious, hmm" I praise

"Since you're here, please judge the smoothie" Kyle said that after he place a peanut butter and banana smoothie.

"Mother Sharn can I?" I asked then she nod.

"That's why I bring you here"she replied

"Yey!" I call it a celebration.

"What do you call this?" I asked Kyle.

"This is berry breakfast parfait, one of the easiest, healthiest and tastiest breakfast, right there is a classic fruit and yogurt parfait. This one is pumpkin granula yogurt the layer was rich pumpkin pie cashew cream with plain Greek yogurt and a handful of granola then sprinkle with cinnamon, come on, taste it!" he described and suddenly lift his hand while holding a spoon and pushed a morsel of that parfait into my mouth.

I had no choice but to try that one.

"Do you like it? Good thing is that pumpkin is a bonafide super food, rich in beta carotene which is essential for eye health" he explained more like a health professional.

"Wow! I didn't just like it, I love it! This is essential for eye health right? Maybe you can make this for someone so she can see your love! Lol! Are you taken? hahaha! I'm just kidding though" that joke was lame though I still laugh.

"That's why I let you try it!" he rebut with a chuckle then I was surprised as he wipe something on my lips.

I froze in a second and smile.

"T-thanks" I said and he just wink and "no problem pretty" he spoke.

I had fun trying some foods with the young chef Kyle, he's just 2 years ahead of me. Mother Sharn was teasing us until the breakfast time is about to come.

I help preparing the foods, I mean placing it to the long table since all of us eat together, so there's a 2 long tables.

I occupied the seat next with Kyle, I just don't want to take the seat at the table with Raze because I'll only felt sad seeing him.

"Does it taste good?" Kyle asked me

"Yeah! I love it but I hate you and you bro Markus for making all of this delicious! Right guys?" I said in my cutest tone and laugh as the other guards nod but they just looked forced.

"See! I envy you! Why you're so good? The sushi baked last day was pretty delicious but mind you the pan-grilled chicken breast with peanut sauce was my favorite" I said cheerfully while eating.

"You flattered me so much but you're good at cooking too,right? I love your tuna dish too" he complimented that made me laugh hard. I was that loud person while eating. Sorry everyone!

"You had a bad taste" I added and strike his shoulder slightly.

"I really mean i---"

"Lorence!" it was Raze who cut the conversation.

His voice was loud that sounds with authority yet sounds normal too.

Everyone laid their eyes on me like they were scared and like asking 'What did you do?'

"Yes Raze?" I look at his direction.

I hear some "owwh" from them like I do a mistake. What did I do? I do nothing right?

"You talk too much, can you please eat properly? After that prepare yourself because we'll go together at the company" he said in his monotone voice.

"Am I not eating properly?" I fired back chilling and have another spoon of berry breakfast parfait.

"See me at the office later!" he replied on his warning tone.

"You deserve it right" Erika joined at the lovers quarrel conversation. That kiddo!

"Hey! Stop it!" Kyle whisper, maybe he already smells blood around.

"See me after 10 minutes!"

"But--"

"Enough with your invalid excuses!" he said, wipe his lips with a cloth and stand.

He's done eating I guess.

"I bet he's going to fire you! How I wish!" Erika said it loud, whatever. Didn't she hear that Raze and I are going to go at the company together? Tsk!

"I don't care, I can stay where my heart is" I reply then she roll her eyes.

"So, you like my Señorito? How dare you to call him by name? huh!" she was like a boiling water, should I pour her some smoothie?

"You misunderstood me Erika! I love my work, it's important to me. Got that? and what's wrong calling him by name?" I asked with attitude and raise my left brow. Duh! I guess I'll put her a little pressure.

"How dare you!" she reply angrily.

Everyone was looking, we got the attention for real.

Who can't? She's a nagger!

"Finish your food, nevermind her" Kyle said and smile sweetly. Aish! Why so cool? He's handsome too but Raze is way much cooler.

If he's hot, Raze was hotter. Aish!

"Thanks Ky! Chef ky" I said and smile too.

"BITCH!" she yell that made me laid my gaze on her.

"ENOUGH!" that's mother Sharn

"Please respect the foods!" she added.

After that I leave the table first and went upstairs, at Raze office.

"Mr. ungentleman where are you?" I call him

"Come here! You chump!" I hear him, he's at the balcony.
