The Bride Of The Billionaire novel Chapter 36

Those echoed in my mind, the reason of my tears to have the spotlight.

Why Raze giving me a false hope? Gush! This is really hurt. What if I'll talk to Trivor that he'll replace me for a new worker? Aish! As if I can convince him.

Krrrnggggg~

You and I

We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky

With you, I'm alive

Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide

So stop time right here in the moonlight

'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes

Without you, I feel broke

Like I'm half of a whole

Without you, I've got no hand to hold

Without you, I feel torn

Like a sail in a storm

Without you, I'm just a sad song

I'm just a sad song

With you, I fall

It's like I'm leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall

With you, I'm a beautiful mess

It's like we're standing hand and hand with all our fears up on the edge

So stop time right here in the moonlight

'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes

Without you, I feel broke

Like I'm half of a whole

Without you, I've got no hand to hold

Without you, I feel torn

Like a sail in a storm

Without you, I'm just a sad song.

Since I leave him, sad song became my favourite song. It still touch my heart and as always, reminds me of him.

Calvin was my caller.

"Hi Ron, 'zup?"

"Yow! Cathy where are you?"

"I'm at home, why?"

"Can we meet? I'm here at Cazila because I have a new project here. Don't you mind if we eat lunch together?"

"Wow, sure! I'm excited. Where?"

"I know you are. You're going to choose where!" He even chuckle

"Really? Hmm, let's meet at Raquen Restaurant then. That's my favourite restaurant."

"Okay, I saw that one. See you,bye!" He hung up the call.

I just change and after a moment, I already saw him parking his car since the restaurant was near to our subdivision and I came ahead of him.

"Mr. Suarez, hi!" He has a big smile that really fits him.

"Let's go, Mrs. Suarez!" He laugh and I too.i clamped around his forearm that made us into an escort position.

We have some steak and grapes wine, paired as always. Aaahh, I miss home.

"When did you arrived here?" I ask while cutting the steak.

"Yesterday!"

"Hmm, where did you stay? You're very welcome at my house and you know that!"

"I know but I'm staying with my friend, remember Josh? We are partner to that project and maybe I'll stay here longer!"

"I see, that means we're going to meet more often?"

"I guess we will!"

"Sir, this way please!" I heard the waiter. Shit! Why I look back? Our gaze met and he looks confused. It's maybe because he heard earlier that I felt sick yet he saw me here. Did I care for his opinion? He even with his girl again. Aish! What am I saying? Why all of the famous restaurant we'll met here? Tsk!

"Cathy? What's wrong?"

"A-ah? Ahm, nothing!" I smile forcedly.

Heck! The waiter give them a table across ours. That's sucks.

Luckily, Ron didn't notice Raze because if he does, he might tease me.

"I'm done!" I said and put down the table napkin.

Ron² ask the bill and pay it through card, wow! He is obviously richer now. All the time I just look away so I can't see Raze. Kind of awkward or it's just me who feel that way. Hayss!

"Here's your card sir, thank you!" The waiter go back and after that we left talking about where his project site was.

The next day, I decided to cook, I don't want to bump with Raze early in the morning again. I sigh, I'm still not ready to face this new day. I still can't afford seeing Raze with someone else because it's still pretty hurt.

"Good morning sweetheart, Andrie told me you're doing well and great as always since you finished early. See you later." Trivor texted me. I shook my head, they just don't know that I'm avoiding someone.

Arghh! I guess it's going to rain. There's a low pressure according to the weather forecasts and the clouds are quite misty.

I wear a gray hoodie and gray jagger pants that paired with my Nike air shoes. Simple yet classy.

I comfortably drive because this time isn't a rush hour and there's no traffic. I'm little early today.

I arrived 30 minutes earlier and I don't know that I'll found Raze alone at our working space. I was hesitant to greet him but... "G-good morning sir!" Whoooo~ With him alone was suffocating.

I regret now going here early, I thought I won't bump into him yet fate again loves to play. Heck!

"Please drop your formality!" It was his monotone voice. I missed him.

"I-I can't sir" I answer sadly. I don't.know if he'll notice that. I was stiffened as he stood, putting his both hands inside his pocket and step towards me. I feel like melting and I can't look straight at his eyes. If he continue, I may cry hard in front of him.

Raze, stop it. Stop making things hard for me

"I'm your boss, can't you please just follow me?" His voice sounds like begging, why?

"You're my boss and you supposed to be not stepping this close to me!" I replied, still looking sideways or else even my voice will start to crack.

"I mi-" he was cutted.

"Raze!" The door suddenly open, it exposed the girl who's clinging with him yesterday. She's here again, obviously.

"Hi!" Raze respond and spun around to give her a quick hug so I just step towards my cubicle, acting like nothing happened. So, he allow her to call her by name? I thought it's me alone who can call him that but excepts to his dad of course.

"Sir, excuse me!" I call him. Why they're so close to each other? We're at work, if they want cuddling each other then they must get themselves a room. Tsk! I'm not jealous, I swear!

"Yes? Any concern?"

"Can I bring my work at home?" I honestly say. I can't focus here anymore.

"Why? There's something that bothering you?"

"No!"

"Then you can't!"

"K!" I'm pissed. Aish!

I became calm when my co-workers arrived. I plug my inpods again while working so I won't be bothered by something unnecessary to heard. All I know is that Raze and his lady was happily talking and almost hugging each other.

I was so silent the whole time and again there's a snack around 9am and I choose to stay again and do my job but as the boys get back... they bring something again for me.

A cup of coffee and potato chips, still, it's my favourite snack pair.

"Thanks Drex!"

"That's from the boss!"

"This might be for his woman!"

"That's for you, there's a note!" He said and go back at his cubicle.

"Chump, smile!" It was on the note. Chump! It's only him who call me that. \( T.T )/

I secretly look at him. How can I smile if he is happy because of someone else now? Tsk! If I'll smile, that would be so bitter.

I roll my eyes yet no matter how uncomfortable I am I still accept the snacks he gave. At least he still remember me as his hardworking employee.

Trivor came around lunch time so I eat together with them, the two boys and the boss. After that we do our job again and Trivor left, h I'd he has a meeting. Whew! He just going to escape.

I manage to finish my character around 3pm and it's another good reason to leave. I feel like enjoying tonight... something like going wild and crazy with a strong drink.

I arrived home and decided to do biking around the subdivision, it's quite relaxing. It takes me 40 minutes before I get sweaty so I rest a bit, cooling down and took a warm bath.

Wearing my crop top and a high waist shorts plus my sneakers so I won't clattered on the floor later. I know, seeing my reflection... I'm ready now for a bar hopping.

I've been dancing with the crowd , drinking and go to another bar.

For the firth bar, I'm tipsy that feeling sober who's requesting for more shots. I feel like my world turns slowly and the crowd became more wilder.

My phone rangs! I don't know who's the caller but I answer it.

"Yo!" I started

"Where are you?"

"Ha?"

"Where are you?"

"I can't hear you!"

"WHERE.THE.HELL.ARE.YOU?" R-raze? Ah? I'm drunk and hallucinating things? I'm not high right? I'm not using a drug!

"Cheers!" I just utter and have a shot.

"Whooo!" I dance again, ignoring the call. I can't even wipe my screen to end the call. Gush!

"Miss? Let's dance?"

"I chaaann danccee a...alonee. jiji!" What I'm saying? I'm not crazy or something, right?

I feel like vomiting now.

I run, my steps doesn't go straight though I thought I can. My eyes were half open yet luckily, I manage to go to the comfort room to vomit without making the dirt spread around. I feel like I'm still the natural me.

"Whooo~ let's dance." I yell, dancing while walking in zigzag.

"Miss, what's your name?"

"Haaii, I'm lowrhencee. I'm ghaayyy! Can I call you phapha?" He go away. Why? Hahaha.
