The Bride Of The Billionaire novel Chapter 20

"Good morning Lorence!" the girls greeted me.

"Good morning guys!" I greet back.

"Lorence! Look!" Erika's holding a newspaper, rushing to my direction.

"What's that?"

"You're famous now!" she said and show me the part where there's a picture of a woman with Raze and that woman was me! "The billionaire business tycoon, Mr. Coleman was dating  an unknown woman. Who's this lucky girl?" that's the headline. A long headline than the ordinary. It was our photo yesterday after watching the classical play. How come that there's a media yesterday?

I didn't notice. I don't know if I'll be glad or be scared...argh! that kind of scary.

"Did he know this already?"

"I don't know!"

"ah! let's just set this aside, maybe he'll do something for this!" I said and bring my vacuum.

Raze and I path crossed at the living room.

"Good morning chump!" he step closer and kiss my forehead.

"good morning!" I greeted back.

"I gotta go love!  Don't forget to reply my messages and respond to my calls later."

"Sure! bye! Take care!" he nod and walk.

"Hey! wait! I have a quick question for you!" that made him look back.

"What's that beautiful?"  aisshhh! he got it first. Whatever!

"Why you're so handsome?" I laugh and stick my tongue out.

"Crazy! He laugh and quickly grab me and give me a peck, suddenly...

"Yieee! " others see that, that made them chaff.

"bye chump!" he said and leave, smiling.

I do my job after that then around ten I go to the mini zoo to feed the animals and I received a call from Raze.

"Hey! Why you call?"

"Love I forgot my laptop, can you bring it here at Texno?" he said straight.

"Yeah sure! it's my pleasure!" I respond.

"Then see you in a bit! Take care, ask Sebastian to drive you. Okay!"

"Noted sir! I'll prepare now. Bye!" I said and hang up.

I head back immediately and change. I get his laptop and asked Sebastian to send me at Texno.

After a couple of minutes we arrive at Texno. I received another call from Raze.

"You're here already?" he ask. It's his instinct that push him to call me? Well, what a nice timing.

"Yeah! where are you?"

"We're at room 212, 10th floor!" he said, I hear some noise at his background.

"Okay, coming!" I smile and hang up again the call.

I rush inside the elevator with others, they're staring at me.

"She's the woman with Sir Pryce at the newspaper."

"She's pretty this close." they're whispering beside me.

I just nevermind them and  *ting!

I'm already at the 10th floor so I go out and search to room. Where is that fuckin' room? Why they have a lot of rooms,is that necessary? Whew!

Other parts were glass walls, open areas but mostly were cemented rooms,yeah! Closed rooms maybe for the condition of the computers and other equipments.

There you go! I found it.

I twiddle the doorknob to open and 

"Good mor-- eh?"

There's a meeting? Everyone inside was looking at me like I'm a murderer.

Aish! I interrupted their meeting. Lorence! What did you do?

I just smile awkwardly. Where is he? Fuck! I'm fuckin' nervous!

Ah! What did I do? Shit! But he said he's in this room. I felt more nervous when they start to murmur.

"Since you ruin the mood of the meeting I want you to answer some of the questions for our reporter!" it's Raze who seriously said it, hiding a playful grin.

"Huh?"  iwas shocked.

"B-but I'm just here to--"

"No buts! Get inside already!" did he cut me? Heck!

"Good morning sir, everyone!" I said nervously and bow.

"W-what's your questions sir?" I ask

"First, you should replace our reporter, stand beside him." I just not and walk at the front, holding tight the laptop's holder... trying to calm myself.

What did Raze do? I'm really nervous right now but I tried to smile, a smile that'll look like it's cool and natural.

"Please introduce yourself!" someone commanded. I smile and look at Raze, I don't know but suddenly, something tickles my lips to smile.

"Okay! Good morning again everyone. I'm Lorence Catherine Celo, 23 years old from Lahzon." I said while smiling, at least I feel at ease now.

"Can you share some information about your family?"

"Ah, sure! My family owns a ranch and a grapes farm that supplies some liquors company around Lahzon. Hmm, that's it!"  I said properly.

"Really? Why you're here then?" someone ask again with a little surprise on his face. Why? I can't go here?

"Ah, seeing the same faces everyday annoy me!" and look at Raze, I hear some chuckles.

"Fate brings me hear and I found something important here that I don't want to lose." I said and smile, still piercing my look at Raze.

"Okay, let's proceed to the questions before we slip to something!" Raze said it with authority. Kill joy!

I just nod, waiting for them to ask.

"Anyone can ask her now!" Raze sat at his chair after that.

"What do you think was a game developers work?" a man that look like at 50's ask me. Whoo!

"Ahm, Game developers work on teams to plan, design, and produce video games for computers, mobile devices, or game consoles. Their work involves creating visual content for the game and writing code to implement all the game’s features and functionality. This career requires a background in software development and mathematics and the ability to collaborate well with others to accomplish project goals. While many work full-time hours in game studios or at software companies, opportunities exist for game developers who prefer to work remotely or to self-publish their games online as independent developers." I answer straightly, my mind still works though I'm a bit nervous. Luckily!

Someone raise a hand, Raze just nod like he allow him to ask me.

"Since you mention writing code, what do you think is the purpose of writing code?" he ask.

"Using programming languages suitable for the game’s target platform, game developers write the code that implements the game’s logic and allows the player to interact with the game world and its characters. This often involves having responsibility for specific parts of the code or game features and working with other developers to make the final product." I answer, wondering now why I have to answer their questions.

I see, my sudden presence interfere there meeting. Hayss.

"What are the key skills for a video games developer?" aish! I feel like I'm a miss universe.

"Basically, a video games developers must be creative or has a creativity, a passion for video games, Wide-ranging knowledge of gaming trends, strong analytical frame of mind, ability to work as part of a team and proficiency in programming languages, such as C# and C " I just smile.

After that there's a few questions like about the duties and responsibilities of a game developers, skills and qualifications of a game developer, how to maintain game projects and some basic questions but I was surprised at the end.

"You're hired!"

"H-ha? I-I'm just here to give--"

"You don't like it?"

"H-huh? I l-like it"

"You accept it?"

"Y-yes!" I answer, it's just that I didn't digest it. I don't know how to process everything in my mind.

"okay! You're hired!" it's Raze this time.

I hear a wild applause with a smile all over their faces

Raze stood, he come in front of me and get a laptop.

"Congrats!" he said and held my hand for a handshake. Is he acting like he don't know me?

My mouth was half open, I still can't believe it because I was just here to follow and order. Shit! Raze was really unpredictable.

"T-thanks!" I utter.

"Welcome to the family Lorence!" everyone said

"f-family?" I ask and smile awkwardly, I can't understand.

"Texno family, Congrats!"

"Thanks Raze or should I call you Mr. CEO or founder? Which is much better?" I look at home, he's smiling now.

"Call me love, I love it!" he whisper and smirk.

"Everyone, meeting adjourned!" Raze said and they start to excuse themselves while still talking about some stuffs.

"I thought I'm just going to give you your laptop!"

"Expect the unexpected!" his smile, I always love it.

"I never know that your family owns a grapes farm."

"You never ask!"

"Well, anyway, maybe your family can exclusively be the supplier of grapes for my liquors company!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah, we can talk more about it. Okay?" I just nod. He held my hand before we go out.

"Where are we going?" I ask

"At my office, I'm going to bring this laptop before we take our lunch." Aish, I felt excitement.

"Sir! I have a all from Venice. She said you have an urgent meeting with Mr. De Vera"

"For what? I thought I'll entertain vhim through call?" Raze responded.

"maybe for his proposal sir!"

"Oh? just tell Venice to cancel a meeting, anyway, bro can you bring this with you?"

"Yeah! Sure! Hi Cath!" Finally he saw me.

"Hi Tyron!"

"Tyron, after that just go at the dinner and eat with us!"  Tyron just nod and gesture us to go first.

"How long that Tyron serves you?"

"Since I founded this!"

"Really? He must be that loyal secretary!" I was amazed.

"He was the best of all the best!" he answer proudly.

"I see, Raze? Did I tell you how much I love your smile?"  I ask.

"No, but you must love it because you gave it to me." he said in a monotone voice.

He really know how to make me happy, everything he do does.

"How come that you're cheesy now?"

"Because you love me!"

"I'm not a Rat, sweetheart!" I answer, impersonating Sabrina.

"Crazy! I'll tour you later!" he change the topic.

"Japan?" I joke.

"Sure! I'll refer you to a club?" he fired back and laugh.

I just glare at him, thinking for a nice rebut.

"Just kidding, want some informal lunch set?"  he ask

"Alibi? I want some Ala Raze!"

"Lunch in bed?" he replied

"With a cake? I'll blow your candle!" I laugh then he mess my hair, laughing.

"How can you blow the candle if it's stuck in your cake?" fuck!  I didn't expect him to say that but I can't stop laughing.

We end up talking about some shits!  Unbelievable.

"Flavor of the cake?"  I tease.

"like yours!" he said

"Crazy!" I snort.

"That's my line!" he said
