Living With The Billionaire

He wrote me a letter

Nakalabas din ako ng ospital kagabi. Dumating ang manager ko at tinanggal ako sa trabaho in a very polite way. Nalaman ko na binayaran pala sya ni Miranda para makuha ako sa restaurant at tuparin ang deal namin.

What do I expect? She is a Fordinian. Their world revolves around money.
Walang problema, bayad na lahat pati mga prescription drugs sakin.

I will take vitamins for 2weeks for my body to keep up from my fatigue.

I also need nutritious foods such as veggies and fruits and protein. I can eat everything. Like literally.

Hinatid ako ni Gretchen at Sandro sa apartment ko. Hiningi ko narin mga number nila knowing na lilipat na ako soon, i want to remain connected to them.

Gretchen offered to help me pack up but I said I can handle it myself. Wala naman din akong halos gamit. Mula nung kinuha saamin ng kumpanya ang bahay namin di na ako pinapasok para kunin ang ibang gamit ko doon.

Kahit ang kama ko dito sa apartment ay walang cover. Iilan lang din ang damit ko and take note: kasama na dun uniform ko sa restaurant.

Literally broke.

Nagpaalam narin ako sa land lady ko which is naging mabait naman sakin. Ibinalik nya sakin yung advance payment ko na hindi ko naman daw pala magagamit. Nag refuse ako pero ibinigay nya parin sakin dahil mas kailangan ko daw.

Thankful naman ako na may taong tulad nya na hindi lang pera ang iniisip.

Nung moment na yun, naluha ako ng dahil sa kabaitan nya. Naoverwhelm narin siguro ako sa lahat ng nangyari mula kahapon.

Sa lahat ng mababait na tao na tumutulong sakin ngayon, thank you. I thought to myself while smiling.

But then, i'll be working as an assistant. Kayanin ko kaya? Si Greyson kaya mabait?

Well honestly, my first impression to him isn't the best.

Tingin ko sa kanya mayabang, arogante, pikon, high blooded hot animal. Geez.

But it's not right to be judgemental. So I guess we'll just see what happens.
It's not right to jump into conclusions.

Tinuruan naman ako ng mga magulang ko ng tamang asal. Although aminado ako na minsan akong naging spoiled daughter, my attitude is not the worst. And not the best either.

My mama used to tell me and my twin, "itrato nyo sila two times kung pano rin nila kayo itrato. Kung mabait sila sayo then, be the most kind people for them. But if they don't treat you well, then be the worst person that you can be. Learn to protect each other as me and your dad protects the both of you."

A tear escaped my eye as I remembered some faint memories. There's no one to protect me. There's literally no one.

All of a sudden I feel so alone, cuddled up in my bed i cried. I broke down again.

Di ko namalayan nakatulog nalang ako kakaiyak.

Ilang oras ang lumipas nagising ako sa katok sa aking pinto.

I let my eyes adjust in the dark.

Madilim na pala? Ilang oras akong tulog?

Kinapa ko ang switch at binuksan ko ang pinto.

As the door opened,

Walang tao?

Tumingin ako sa kaliwa at kanan pero walang bakas na may nanggaling dito.

Anu yun?

Thinking it's just kids playing around, am about to close the door then I saw a white envelope on the ground in my doorstep.

I cringely picked it up and turn it around.

Raquel Elizabeth Dela Torre

"what the fudge?" who knows my second name? I dont remember telling anyone my whole name even Sandro and Gretchen.

I closed the door and sat on my bed. I opened the letter and it said:

'I will pick you up at 6pm tomorrow. We'll

have dinner at Nana's request then we are

off to our college house. Make sure

your things are ready.

Be an hour ready before the alotted time.

I don't like waiting.'

-Grey Fordinian

I huffed. Kelangan nya ba talaga isampal sakin ng paulit ulit yung apelyido nya. Kaasar ha. Tsaka sya ba yung naglagay nito? Bakit di nalang nya sinabi sakin derekta.

Well probably no.

Siguro nagbayad nanaman sila ng tao para iwan tong letter na to dito.

But this is handwritten. Ooh i did not expect that.

*sniff sniff*

aba mabango yung papel ha.

I chuckled. I am being a creep.
