Love for a Billionaire

Chapter 23

The days couldn't go from bad to worse.  These days were the typical misfortunes that Chou Tzuyu suddenly found himself facing at work.  He honestly hated having unexpected events and especially when they are so unpleasant, already the fact that his father was pressuring him for his new engagement and Sana who hadn't even had any news about her, he went into crisis as if he was bleeding from the mouth which came out drastically due to a scare.  A scare that came from the thousand files on the table and the news of the day, which had brought the icing on the cake for the best misfortune of that day: the flooding in the bathrooms which had been brought about by a break in the pipes coming out of the bathroom and causing the water to flow to the nearest room, as well as that of department A, i.e. those on the top floor specifically on the same floor as Tzuyu.  So he worked hard to find a plumber who could fix the pipes immediately, but it wasn't possible and he had to book him to come.  Chou Tzuyu, a man who did not let himself be put on his feet, had his shoes filled with water and his socks soaked.  Dahyun, his secretary, advised her boss to go home and continue work in his office, saying that he would move those from Department A to one of the conference rooms of the other eight departments in the building.  Tzuyu was a little unsure whether to do this but after finding out the time, which was exactly 1pm, he immediately took Dahyun's trust by announcing that unfortunately he would not be able to finish his work at home for due to an electrical malfunction.  The secretary, unaware of his true intention, nodded, understanding the situation and moving her presentations for another day.  So with his shoes full of water and a briefcase in his hand he hurried to go in his car to the elementary school where Sana worked.
Meanwhile, Sana herself wondered when the clock would strike the end time.  Those children had become noisier and more annoying than expected during the substitution hour.  Sana had had the misfortune to happen to be their replacement teacher due to the absence of a teacher, specifically the geohistory one.  He was tapping on the desk frantically while looking at various files on the computer that he would have to revisit for a class assembly, but after what had happened both at school and in his private life, he really didn't want to go back to throwing his head into his computer .  She had to be honest: she missed Tzuyu.  That somewhat serious and low tone always made it comforting to listen to it, almost as if she always had a shield ready to put in front of you to look after you while her words comforted you in difficult moments.  Sana imagined Tzuyu as a real prince.  She didn't know why this connection came to her, but after quickly watching a princely movie, she had a strange change of heart about Tzuyu calling herself a full-fledged prince.  Perhaps because she admired him and found him particularly handsome, but it was also because of his serious, detached but at the same time kind and intelligent demeanor.  A handsome Prince Charming who would save her from this cage of disobedient boys immediately needed her.  She realized that the bell rang, making the class silent.  Not for long since immediately after the end of the bell, the boys, agitated and in a hurry, started running like crazy towards the exit door.  Sana didn't worry so much, and she stared at the computer again and clicked on one of the files.  At that moment, Miss Park's shrewd eyes darted to Sana.  "There she is!"  Jihyo said with an almost joyful roar that could have been taken as a whisper hearing all that noise in the corridors.  "Oh, hi Jihyo. Are you done yet?"  Sana asked, lifting her head towards the woman and then panning her eyes to the screen.  Jihyo struggled a bit to be able to enter the classroom without falling under all those fast children's feet and not caring about what's around him.  "Hmmm.... Just in time. I have a hair appointment" Jihyo said showing off her hair, "Didn't you already cut it a month ago?"  Sana asked in turn "My hair grows like plants dear Sana" Jihyo said sweetly giving a light massage on Sana's shoulder.  "Aren't you going home?"  the woman asked this time but Sana shook her head in denial, "Tzuyu? How's it going with Tzuyu?"  the woman suddenly asked knowing that the two had been dating for weeks.  Sana didn't have the courage to say what had happened but she didn't even have the courage to tell a lie to her friend, "Tzuyu is busy, we stopped the evenings for a while" she blamed the poor guy having no ideas in mind.  "Really?"  Jihyo smiled amusedly as she looked out the window and glimpsed a man parking a Lamborghini and quickly getting out.  Sana turned her head in the same direction as her friend.  and she couldn't help but scream internally.  'Damn we didn't need that!'  she said in her head as she left the classroom taking her bag already tidied up and full of her things.  “See you Jihyo” she said before walking out the door while the woman with a smile on her face whispered to herself “Are you so happy to see that man, dear Sana?”.

Tzuyu remained standing stomping her soles at the entrance so as not to cause wet spots in the school corridors, but before she could enter Sana approached him, pushing the man, failing to get him through the door of the school entrance.  "Sana, how did you know that I..." "Were you coming? I saw you from the window, your car is recognizable in less than a second. Why are you here?"  Sana asked with a raised eyebrow waiting for an answer, "I missed you. I just wanted to see you" the man answered sincerely making Sana blush.  He grabbed Tzuyu's arm and dragged him out of the school driveway to Tzuyu's car.  "You can't come whenever you like. I'm at work" "Five minutes ago" Tzuyu interrupted, checking her wristwatch.  Sana closed her mouth which was still left open trying to explain her motivation in her turbulent grasping of her arm, "He doesn't do this for your benefit. For us teachers school hours end ten minutes later" Sana said lying .  Tzuyu was the one, this time, who raised his eyebrow confusedly and then said with a questioning tone that was rather cute for Sana, due to her eyes softened by her curiosity and her eyebrows slightly curled by the sudden agitation, "really?" .  She didn't want to lie but she couldn't help but tell some lies today, "Yes. You couldn't have known because you're not a teacher and that's why you have to leave" Sana said taking a step back and leaving Tzuyu still in her thoughts, "Wait. .." Tzuyu said in a whisper letting Sana stop being punctually able to understand the agitated and catty behavior of the great Chou.  "And if I waited in the car after those minutes, would I have the opportunity to invite you to have a coffee together? I told you about that American coffee shop, don't you remember?"  Tzuyu asked softly in her calm voice making it strangely difficult for Sana to ignore and refuse the offer.  She nodded only making Tzuyu less flustered.  Even though Tzuyu had acted crazy last time, he didn't want to end their relationship.  Not that it was anything, but Tzuyu could make Sana happy even with a confused look.  Being surrounded by Tzuyu made her happy, especially when the man felt over the moon too.  She didn't want to throw away this journey all of a sudden but she didn't want to forget what had happened days ago.  Tzuyu bitterly watched Sana go away but as soon as the woman took five steps forward she stopped, turning her head, catching a glimpse of Tzuyu's rather disappointed and sad face, trying not to slam her hand on the window due to her cursed head which had not foreseen this school regulation.  Sana smiled as she remembered that that same expression was also present on one of their evenings when a waiter said that the order requested by Tzuyu was not possible.  That evening the man made a report to the restaurant saying that every restaurant would have to satisfy the requests of a customer especially for his beloved.  If for this reason the dish he requested was not even for himself but for Sana who had expressly told the man that it made no difference, however Tzuyu was interested in making that night special by ordering one of the dishes that he wanted Sana to taste and what else was in the main menu.  She tore her smile away after meeting her sad eyes.  She walked over to him and then stood at the door "Come on... Nothing will happen if she disappears before the other five minutes" she lied again.  But she felt relieved to lie again: a spark of happiness appeared in Tzuyu's eyes as she opened the door as if she had a primal instinct to do so as soon as she Sana said yes.  The woman realized that in the end this man couldn't be crazy, he was just in love and lost in his dedication to conquer her.
