My BIllionaire Troublemaker

16. You are such a trouble

"One more, strong one" Dew's face is flushed with all the alcohol intake he had for the past hour or so.

He felt his blood boil as he bottoms up the shot at a go.

"One more" he demanded from the bartender.

He recalled the conversation he had with Julie a while ago.

"Hi, Mr Mc Carthy, how are you doing? Pleased to meet you here again" Julie extended her hand. Some passersby commented how hot Julie is tonight.

"I'm doing well, hope you're doing well since our last meeting" Dew retreated from the hug quickly and small talk.

"Your cousin has a way of surprising people, can't believe you didn't know they are dating too" Julie spoke in a little sarcastic tone.

Dew smiled dryly and loosened his tie as he felt like he is suffocating.

"Mr Mc Carthy, I hope you reconsider my proposal. You know, we outsiders have to look out for each other, give it a thought" after saying those words Julie left.

Dew's tightened his fist, With the last sentence, Julie successfully reminded Dew once again that he is just an adopted son of the bastard son of Parker family.

"One more" Dew roared.

"Sir.." the bartender wanted to say he already had too much but couldn't dare to.

"One more" he demanded like a stubborn kid.

The bartender had no other option than to make another stronger one and give him. But this time before he gulped down the shot his hand was grabbed mid-air.

"You?" Dew's face looked more irritated now.

"You've had enough" a husky voice reprimanded him, the owner of the voice had wolf-like eyes. "Where are you staying, I'll drive you home," said Roy with a calm yet intimidating expression.

"Why do you care?" Dew's timid persona suddenly started to become louder.

"Of course, I do care, care for your possible future victims" Roy implied that night Dew almost crossed the racing track.

"Hmph," Dew groaned slightly and forcefully shook Roy's hand for only Roy to grab it stronger this time.

"You're such a trouble" Roy muttered annoyingly and with one forceful move he made Dew lose hold of his body and dragged him to the parking lot.

Completely drunk Dew mumbled "You're right, it's them who are against us. It has always been like that. They are always against me. It...it is...very...lonely......" tears rolled down Dew's cheeks.

Roy was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to do with the pitiful man in front of him. Involuntarily he lifted his arm to wipe the tears.

"You're right Miss Victor" Dew mumbled again.

Hearing Julie's name Roy retreated his hand. An incomprehensible expression on his face.

After successfully persuading June, April and June are back to the hotel. Just about when they were about to go their own rooms, the knock knock sound of the high heels drew April's attention.

"Interesting, you two have booked different rooms" a sarcastic expression on Julie's face.

April cursed her luck. "I am Parker's family heiress if I want I'll book the entire hotel, what is it to you? Common baby", April locked arms with June and dragged him to her room without giving a chance for him to rebuke.

Julie smiled at the childish act of April but some unknown uneasiness started to brew in a corner of her heart.

"That snake was waiting there for us" April rolled her eyes.

"Stop saying that" June shook his head.

"Shall I call her witch then"

"Leave that, tomorrow you've to give presentation about our business expansion strategy, are you ready for that?" June asked.

"Ofcourse June, I never thought one day you would want to expand your business. You were so adamant to any changes and insisted on keeping the things same after your parents" April expressed her surprise.

"We all have to change over time or rather time changes things" June spoke intently.

"However, I am so excited for your pet Cafe project, it'd be an amazing addition to your business model and also helping rescued animals" April giggled.

"But for it to become real, you need to pull in investors tomorrow. As the assistant sales manager of the store, i expect you to do well" June spoke gently.

"Ofcourse I will do my best though it is much easy to just ask mum to invest " April mumbled.

June raised a brow as April pulled her ears in apology. She know that in all these years not once June took any advantage or help from Parker family. Not even when his parents passed away at such an young age. That is one of the reasons Lara trusts June and Mrs.Parker though not a big fan of June, tolerates him.

"Haaa l, I'm sleepy let's go to bed" April yawned lazily as June's expression turned flustered.

Oh shit there is only one bed in this room, if I go out that snake might be still waiting outside. Looks like we have to share the bed tonight.

April didn't know what to say "Erm.."
