The Billionaire Wants Me

Chapter 5

Chavelle

As he was carrying me, maraming tao ang nakatitig pero pag nakikita nila kung sino ito, kinukuha na nila ang mga cellphone nila at kinukunan kami ng picture.

“Nosy people. Wait til I get their phones and destroy it.” Tinampal ko ang mukha niya tsaka siya tinawanan. Ewan, sobrang gaan na ng loob ko sa kanya.

Nang nakarating na kami sa sasakyan niya ay binigay na ng valet ang susi. When we were inside his car, may biglang tumawag sa kanya.

“Valdero. Yes. No. Tell them to cancel it. What? Cassidy? Fvck, okay I’m coming.” Sagot niya sa linya.

He looked at me and sighed. “I gotta go to the main company, sweetheart.” He looked so sad.

“N-No, it’s okay. May imemeet ka?” saying that made my heart hurt. And I don’t even know why.

“Yes, sweetheart.” He sighed again then suddenly he smiled. “I’ll bring you, is that okay?” napanganga ako sa sinabi niya.

“No! B-baka di ako pwede dun, ikaw nalang. I’m okay.” I stuttered. Ayoko. Baka madumihan ko pa ang pangalan niya. He’s bringing someone to his company na walang magandang background.

“I own that company and building, baby. Bakit hindi ka pwede dun? Anyone who says na hindi ka pwede dun ay masisira ang buhay. ” I was lowkey scared nung sinabi niya yun.

“O-okay.” I nodded and the mood was not so heavy anymore.

While he was driving, nagulat nalang ako nang inabot niya ang kamay ko at hinawakan ito. He brought it to his mouth and kissed my knuckles. I felt heat in my cheeks.

Hindi niya ito binitawan at hinawakan kahit nagkakambyo siya. He is so….. sweet.

Nang nakarating na kami sa kompanya niya ay pinark niya lang ito sa harap nang mismong building! Pasaway!

When he got out of the car to open my door, he didn’t look soft at all. Biglang nag iba ang aura niya. He looked….. powerful.

Nang pinababa na niya ako ay ngumiti ako sa kanya para maibsan ang tension. He smiled back and held the back of my waist. We walked towards the building.

“Kung sino ang magreklamo tungkol sa sasakyan ko, tell me at ipatanggal agad sa trabaho.” He roughly said to the guard. Namutla pa ito sa sinabi niya bago tumango at sumaludo.

“Y-yes sir.”

As we were walking, he snaked his arms around my waist. Like he is claiming his territory. Napatingin ako sa kanya and still, he looked hard and ruthless. Hindi nakangiti at walang emosyon ang mukha. Nakakunot ang mga kilay and looked straight.

“G-goodmorning sir!” bati nang mga empleyado, I thought we will continue walking nang biglang huminto si Thaeus. Hinarap niya ang mga empleyadong bumati sa kanya.

“W-what’s wrong?” I whispered.

“Hindi ko alam na bulag pala ang empleyado ko dito.” Napaitlag ako sa sinabi niya.

“P-po?”napatigil ang mga babae’t lalaki na empleyado nay mga dalang papeles at kung ano ano. They were frozen in spot dahil sa sinabi ni Thaeus.

“Can’t you see na may kasama ako? You all are so disrespectful. Binati nyo ako but you ignored the pretty lady beside me. I’ll be waiting for your resignation letters tomorrow.” We started walking away. Everyone called him.

“T-Thaeus, that was bad. Hindi naman kasi nila alam. Please? Just let it pass? Ayokong may matanggal dahil sa akin.” I held his hand at biglang lumambot ang ekspresyon niya. He sighed bago siya bumalik doon sa mga empleyado at may inanunsyo ulit.

Everyone cheered but stayed quiet after. They all looked at me na nakatayo parin malayo sa kanila. I was so shocked to see them bow down.

“Thank you, Ma’am!!” They all said. Napangiti nalang ako nang naglakad na pabalik sa akin si Thaeus. He still looked so stoic pero ngumiti pa rin siya nung nakalapit na sa akin.

I heard whispers nung ngumiti siya.

We walked to the elevator at lahat nang nadadaanan namin ay binabati na kami. I just politely smiled at them.

“Stop smiling sweetheart. You are making me jealous.” He pouted. Napatawa naman ako at pinisil ang ilong niya. Naestatwa siya sa kanyang tinatayuan.

Biglang bumukas ang elevator at lumabas na kami, I thought he was still frozen.

Everyone greeted us. A woman in her late thirties led us to a double black doors. I think ito si Calla. She smiled and bowed a bit then left us.

Pagkapasok namin ay para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig nang nakitang maraming businessman ang nandun. There was one beautiful and sexy lady na nakaupo kasama sa mga lalaki at ngumiti nung nakita si Thaeus but it faded nung nakita ako.

Everyone looked at me and I felt small. But the man beside me caressed my waist up and down, soothing me.

Napaangat ang tingin ko sa kanya at ngumiti siya. We walked to the long table, where they all sat down.

“Ryker, I missed you.” Nabigla ako nang may biglang yumakap kay Thaeus, making him let go of me. It was the pretty lady.

And I can’t help but feel a pain in my chest.
