The Healed Photoframe - A Dark Billionaire Romance

23: Craziest Whore🦋

I was tapping my index finger on the table while thinking hard.

So Rupert was the one who sent those thugs. Did he really want us to be dead?

"...temperature bit by bit. Even if they are polar animals they have been...."

The way they attacked Ron I couldn't find any mercy in their action. And who knows if Ron didn't move where that knife would have ended. I shuddered just trying to picture my thoughts.

"...should give them some fresh food instead of canned or frozen...."

But then again what would he do next? And what the hell was he exactly planning?

"...za, are you listening?"

By looking at his vile, repulsive actions I wasn't getting good feelings about that.

I snapped back to reality when someone shook my shoulder. I looked at Juane, then looked at Philips who was giving us instructions about food changing of the penguins.

"Liza!" Juane gave a questioning look. I quickly nodded my head.

"Yup, yup. I am listening."

Philip narrowed his eyes at me.

"No, you are not." He shook his head and turned to Juane. "I hope you listened to me, so please help her to recall what I said." Juane nodded his head. Philip handed over the instruction paper to Juane and took his leave.

"What? Did you forget to switch off the hair dryer?" Juane said teasingly.

"Oh shut up?" I rolled my eyes and snatched the papers from him.

"Something wrong?" He asked as he noticed my dark expression.

"No." I sighed and tried to smile. "It's just....I am having so many things together on my plate right now, so I am a little distracted. I guess."

"Yeah, I can relate." Juane patted my shoulder sympathetically.

"You don't have any idea." I murmured under my breath while playing with the edge of those papers.

After my shift ended I checked my phone and found one message from Ron.

"Something urgent came up. I am afraid I have to raincheck today's dinner plan."

"It can't be helped. Just make sure not to skip meals and your medicine. Or I will be very angry." I typed my reply while trying to make duck lips.

"Wanna grab something to eat with me?" Juane asked while running his fingers through his hair before adjusting his black cap on his hair. He was looking very handsome with that black cap.

"Actually yes." I said eagerly. I was mentally prepared to have company for dinner. Then I didn't want to eat alone. "What are we eating?"

"Do you like Chorizos?"

"Love them?" I gave a chef's kiss in the air. "Especially those in tacos."

"I know a good place."

"Then what are we waiting for. Let's go."

The next day I went to college and attended the chemistry class in a hurry. I overslept. I loved my work but it drained all my energy everyday.
