The Bride Of The Billionaire novel Chapter 37

"Hello? Please deliver right now the order of Dela Kuma's boutique! Did Terence inform the supply department? Heck!" This is driving me crazy.

I messaged Tyron to assist my new secretary at my clothing company. Luckily, I still have Tyron, he's a persistent and very dedicated at work. He work for almost 6 years and I admired him for being that outstanding secretary as well as being a good buddy.

"Sir? Mt. Chang wants to pull out his investment for no reason!" My secretary, Venise. Secretary of my investment company. I have a four secretary but Tyron was the best, he was flexible.

"Make him regret! He only invest 1M, tell him higher. We can even give him more!" I responded, I'm so pissed.

"Sir please sign this papers!" She continue

"Hand me that! I'll leave after this but still keep on informing me" I signed the papers after the quick readings.

"Sir, a telephone call for you!"

"Who's that?"

"Mr. Ramirez"

"Okay! Connect him to line one." Hayysss!

"Mr. Ramirez? Yes?"

"How's business?"

"That's it? Well, can you taste the progress from here?" I sarcastically say.

"Kind of. Well, I call to ask you about my offer!"

"Ah! Marrying your daughter? Sorry, I'll reject your offer. Guess what, I'm busy right now. Bye!" I end the line after a sigh.

I stretch my body and yawn. I was tired preparing a proposal though there's someone who can do that for me. Darn it!

"Sir, here's your iced coffee!"

"Thanks Venise, please send this papers to finance department. Do t forget to remind me the time too" it's hard to smile. Sometimes I badly want to yet something's stopping me... the past.

I'm tired yet I can't complain too much, dad might hate me 100 times. That man! I play ICEcore's music while chilling at my swiveling chair. The telephone rang again...

"Hello? Oh?"

"Sir Mr. Buelva wants to pull out his investment!" Fuck! Is it because I refuse marrying their daughter?

"Let me handle this! I'll talk to him."

"Sure sir, I'll tell him!"

"Thanks!" Arghh! Chang! Buelva! Felix III, Arcilla! Matteo! Who else want me for their daughters? I see, Tito Andrew. Mr. Davis! Why me? I don't feel like marrying and married is not a joke.

Yeah! I'm still controlled by the past. Stopping myself to he happy as long as I can't forgive myself... I feel like I'm not able to free myself from the chain of past.

I bring my signatured papers, I'm going to leave now. I only drink half of my coffee before throwing it. Sorry dear food fairy! I'm not crazy, I swear.

I'm going to the police station after this, I need new update about who ambushed me few weeks ago. Luckily, a wicked plant live longer and I'm here, still safe... waiting for my missing piece!

A life of a businessman isn't that easy, my left foot was on my grave.

"Sir are you going to leave now?"

"Yeah! Done signing!" I said and hand her the folders.

My employees stand from cubicle and said goodbyes.

"Good bye everyone! Enjoy your meal. Tell me if the foods didn't satisfy you. Work well!" I said. I don't want them to push themselves hard every normal days. Seeing their smile make me happy too.

"Thanks sir" they answer in unison. I know what's more important, that's values than money. Money is like a flower, they may bloom today but may die tomorrow... like a balloon that may go up with the wind yet being kind to anyone and building a relationship with someone is a lifetime bound and connection. They are the true treasure.

I leave C.I.C (Coleman's investment company).

My phone rangs, it's mom.

"Mom?"

"Son, how are you?" What they need this time?

"I'm fine mom, why?"

"I see, Sabrina will go back here after 4 days. Just to inform you!" Ah! Darn it. I don't like that girl.

"Mom, she's just a friend to me." I complain.

"I know son but your dad!"

"Yeah! Daddy hates me since then. Don't worry!"

"I love you son!"

"I love you too mom. Tell dad that I refuse about Tito Andrew's offer!"

"Son! I can't, that's not an offer. That's a pact between them two. Sorry if mom can do nothing. There's too much now on your plate and the weight on your shoulder but at least don't forget about your health."

"Mom, don't worry. I've been so strong. Are you expecting me to give up? Hell no!"

"Okay! I'm gonna hung up now. Bye son!"

"Bye mom! I love you, take care!" I said before I end the line. I directly go at the parking area, adjourning the idea of going at the police station.

I know, they call me for updates. I'm that high of myself. While driving I play a music of ICEcore int title 'Drifting' but suddenly he music was paused and replaced by my ringtone when somebody is calling, it's connected to my car.

I look at my screen, it's dad so I answer that incoming call. He will ruin my day? Hell!

"Dad?"

"What the hell! Your mom say that you still refuse marrying Sabrina Rex Davis! Are you out of your mind? You dork!"

"Dad? I know you hate me but hitching me up with a random girls won't work!" Why he is forcing me anyway?

"I'm telling you, you'll regret this---" I mute it! I don't want to hear him. His heartbreaking words and once again insert what happened to my older brother Rance Trivian and blame me, then, it'll hit my conscience and massacre my thoughts every night. It's hunting me. It won't allow me to sleep, the memories of the past.

I arrived at Texno, greeted by everyone and who I am not to greet them back? I'm the boss but I need my employees the most, what am I without them? I'm nothing.

I'm here to polish the plan regarding the competition of our new games and the cosplay, that'll happen next few days.

"Sir, good thing that you're here!" Tyron loosen his necktie, he looks exhausted. This man deserves a reward.

"How's the preparation bro?" I ask, playing so cool. Lol!

"We need your approval about the design! Here's the new designs choices!" Then he show me a folder.

"You can take a break, I'll take care of this!" I said and tap his shoulders.

"We have to catch up, anyway, you have a meeting later with the board exactly 1pm. Meeting with Mr. Preaker after that and last is with... Yeah! Mr. Coleman, your dad!" He doubtly say.

"Dad? Business or personal? Can you cancel the last meeting?" I joked

"Eh? As if I can say no to you yet I'm scared, scared for the possible things that he can do to you. Can't you remember a thing?" He's like a brother to me, a best friend and now he's like an adviser.

"Don't worry, I got your back! I realize now that dad's just scaring me. He can't lose another handsome son, right?" I dramatically spoke.

"Well, yeah! But I have no time for a break."

"I'm giving you the time, I'm your boss! You should follow me. Right Tyron?" I'm literally scaring him... Hmmm, no! Kind of convincing him.

"O-okay! What do you want first, coffee?" He ask, hayss! What should I do to this outstanding man?

"Fine, espresso then. I'll to the designer and organizer. Just bring the coffee at the discussion room and when you get at LitDinner please tell chef Jeffrey to prepare early for lunch. I'll eat with you all here today." I commanded then he just nod and leave. I know that he won't take a break. That man!

"Good morning Mr. Coleman!"

"Hi Rushelle, are the things for the games ready? Where's Sam?" I ask and sit at the couch.

"She's with her team sir! Yes sir, the computers were set stable at room 10"

"I see, I choose black, silver and gold color motifs, just make it simple yet pleasingly stylish accordingly."

"Sure sir, I'm going to send now Vera and April to purchase the materials needed. Please excuse me!" I just nod. Holy shit! I don't want to check my office now, I know that the files there were compacted at my lovely table.

I already settle the program yesterday and assigned who's who to do the task yet everyone still looks so busy. I remember that we open the hiring for games designer and animator, we need more creative people who's capable and more suitable to the job yet for now we didn't receive any application. Are they still preparing? They made it so slow.

The day ends like previous days, it's stress free, I mean.. yeah! It lowers my stress since I love my job and my role... Like they've said if you love the things you do, it lowers your stress. I'll testify then because that's appropriately right.

"If you still refuse, I won't transfer the properties under your name!" I felt sad for dad! I remember our conversation earlier. I guess he's blinded by wealth, he thought he can still use that method to threaten me yet it can't. I can build my own and can create my name... It's just that he is my father and I don't want him to hate me.

He forget being a human. How cruel!

"Meow!"

"Meow!"

I was awakened by a lovely sound yet a comforting warmth of my baby make me feel sleepy and stopping the urge of waking up!

"Cally!" I call, groping her fur. She's laying at my chest while baby Rain is now stretching her body and Raisins was still sleeping right next to me.

Holy shit! I don't want to prepare yet! I want to seize this moment.
