Billionaire's Stolen Heart Chapter eighteen.
"Ah, achoo!" Lisa let out a loud sneeze, rubbing her red nose.She felt another sneeze coming, reaching for the tissue box Carol had handed over to her. Her nose was already clogging up, and she became sure that she had caught a cold.'It is all because of that damn jerk.' She gritted her teeth, grabbing another tissue.Unable to bear it anymore, she stood up to make herself a cup of hot tea. Maybe that would help.But it didn't."You don't look fine. Are you okay?" Manager Hans asked worriedly. He felt her forehead with the back of his palm, and a frown climbed up his lips. "You are burning.""I am?" Lisa also checked and realized it was true. She hadn't thought it was this serious."Did you take any medicine for it?" He looked at her, and she shook her head."No, not yet.""You should." He turned around, circling his desk.He grabbed his keys. "I will go with you. Let's go to the pharmacy.""What?" Lisa shook her head. "No need. I can go myself.""I will drive. It will be faster." M

"Since you're already here, I'm hungry. Make me something before you leave." Lisa heard what Axel said as she pulled into the driveway.She turned to him with a blank expression, drawing in a deep breath. It was hard not to notice that he was trying to rile her up nowadays, as if he enjoyed her misery and craved a particular response.But Lisa wasn't about to give him what he wanted. She turned on the engine, swerving out of the driveway once again.Axel was surprised. "Where are we going?"Eyes forward, and a smile forced between her teeth, she gave a reply. "A supermarket. Yesterday, when I came, I realized that you have nothing in your fridge." It was so empty that it made her wonder exactly what he hid at home. "There is one nearby. Let's buy some groceries first."Since Axel was the one paying, Lisa was very generous with the shopping. She bought things without even checking the price, something she had not done in her entire life, and the feeling was 'very good.'Axel stared at

Lisa walked into the bar, taking a while to find Karen, who was sitting at the corner booth in the conspicuous corner.Karen looked up as she walked over and said, "You came straight from work?"Lisa couldn't care to explain, humming lightly. She slid into the leather seat opposite her. "What happened to you? You look like you haven't seen a good day in a while."Karen drove her hand through her dirty blonde hair, then said, "Do I look that bad?""Did something happen?" Lisa replied with the question."It is nothing." Her best friend muttered in a low voice. "Just that Sienna came back, and the house is starting to become noisy, as always."It was the beginning of December, and many schools were starting to go on holiday. Sienna was Karen's eldest sister, the apple in the eyes of her parents, and there was a very noticeable difference in the treatment of the two.Her parents even asked Karen to drop out of school just so her sister could go to university, and even if it was reasonable

"It is very simple. All you have to do is analyze it the best way you can. Just take the facts and refrain from adding too much of your opinion."Ms. Sarah explained and Lisa nodded along, listening attentively. "Drafting a report isn't really that hard. It is something that becomes more familiar the more you do it." The older lady said it in a soft voice."I see." Lisa pouted with sagging shoulders.Carol had nagged her so many times about how lacking her reports always were. It was so bad that she couldn't resist asking for help."Don't worry, you will get the hang of it soon." Ms. Sarah patted her shoulder, and she looked up."You think?"Lisa was a slow learner. It was something she was well aware of. While she was a top student back at school, it was solely based on her mother's strictness. Lisa was kind enough to work twice as hard as others to get a satisfactory result."Try this." Ms. Sarah looked through her drawers, which were in a stack of papers. "These are some data I wor

Axel handed Lisa a bottle of water.Her fingers shook as she struggled to open it, so he snatched it back and unscrewed the cover before giving it back to her.Lisa glanced up at him. The rims of her eyes were faintly red. "Thank you."He crossed his arms and said, "You know you couldn't stand it, so why didn't you say so?"Lisa pressed her lips together, saying softly, 'Everyone wanted to watch it.""Are you stupid?""No, I am not." Lisa frowned."Then why do you act like you are?""I—i just——" She lowered her head, a soft sob escaping her lips."Wait, are you crying?""No." She had been so scared back in the movie room. Lisa has had a phobia for horrifying things ever since she could remember.Axel got on his knees, lifting her chin up with his index finger. There were tears streaming down her face, and her nose had a glow of red."You are really crying. Is it because of what I said?""No." Lisa sniffed, wiping her face with the back of her palm. "It's not.""Don't do that." He stop

Axel realized the meaning behind her words when they arrived at the hospital. He stepped out of the car with unsteady legs, and a green face. Whereas the cause of his misery was smiling rainbows."Why?" He looked at her, unable to resist asking.Lisa scratched the back of her head with a bit of guilt. "I am sorry. I just couldn't help it."Thinking 'driving in a normal pace with such a car should be a crime.'Axel was tossed around until he saw black. Lisa had driven so fast that he felt his soul must have left his body at some point.He took a moment to adjust himself, then proceeds to walk towards the hospital entrance.Lisa hurriedly locked the car, and follows after him, almost running into him when he stops. "Right. Get me some flowers.""Flowers?" Lisa blinked twice with an unsettled feeling."Get well flowers. Make it a big bouquet." "Where am I supposed to get flowers?" "That is for you to know." He smile sweetly before walking off.'flowers! Flowers!! Where do I get flo

The company was working on an ad with a very popular actress, with Carol and Lisa supervised on their side, if it could be called supervising. She had to deal with the refreshments for the staff, report any problems, and help out in any way that she could. Yoo-Jin, with the English name, Jane Harper, was a half-Korean and half-British popular actress and model. She was well known for her astounding looks and great acting skills. And having her advertise the company's newest laptop model was a big hit. Everyone was excited to meet her, and she was approached by fans for signatures the moment she got off the camera. Even Lisa, who had not heard or known of the actress's existence, was impressed by her elegant demeanor.At noon, they all took a break and Yoo-Jin retreated to the dressing room specially prepared for her. Lisa took care of the refreshment and discussed with the photographer on the progress. Feeling pleased, she excused herself before going to t

Lisa walked into Axel's office and saw him staring at his face in a small mirror. Noticing her arrival, he looked up and Lisa paused in her steps. On the middle of his forehead was a small red spot. "Is that a pimple?"Axel grunted, putting the mirror away. "It appeared this morning, and although it is small, it hurts pretty much." Lisa held back her itchy hands, clasping it behind her back. "I received a call from Mr Schindler. It is an invitation.....""I am not attending." Lisa was already used to him and wasn't in the least surprised. "It is his eldest daughter's engagement. Should I send him a gift?""Make it expensive." "Understood." She glanced at her watch, then said. "Also. You have a meeting on the third floor. Right about—now.""Carol already left for the seminar?" Axel asked, once again bringing out the mirror to take a look at his face. "She went before noon." Lisa replied. Axel used the hair at the forefront of his head to cover up the pimple before standing up. "O

The light automatically turned on as Axel walked into the house. He dragged his tie loose and tossed it on the leather couch. He then removed his suit jacket before walking to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of chilled water, hungrily gulping it all, then aimed the emptying can for the bin, which was unfortunately a miss. What a way to ruin my day is good. She doesn't need it? Whatever is done of my business.It is her fault being blind and rejecting my generosity. "You started seeing things too?" Axel swayed around at the unexpected voice. His hand moved with agility, grabbing a beer bottle from the still-open fridge. "Chill, man!" Chris jumped back, an alarmed look on his face.Realising it was just Chris, Axel withdrew his hand. He put the beer back into the fridge then gave his best friend a dead look."What are you doing here?"I am hungry." Chris replied nonchalantly. "I didn't want to eat alone.""And I don't see how that is my cup of tea." Axel po

Lisa had an apron tied around her waist. Her hair was put up in a high ponytail and she held both a pen and a note as she took the tables order. Flashing a bright smile the moment she finished."Is that all you want?""Uh—yes." The table had four girls who looked to be very close friends."I will be right back." Lisa nodded, then headed back to the kitchen where she have the order to the cook."That is weird." Karen spoke from behind her, the corner of her lips ticked up in thought."What is weird?" Lisa gave her an indifferent glance. Waiting for the cook to fix together her order."That handsome guy sitting over there, next to the window seems to be staring at you. Or is it just my eyes?" She mused.'no. You are not wrong. He is indeed staring at me.' Lisa sighed to herself. Her head starting to ache.Who knew why the self obsessed Mr Axel decided to grace their restaurant with his presence?No matter how she tried to ignore him, it was just impossible."Tsk....I don't think I am wr

"And that's what happened." Karen flopped on the table, forcing a smile. "Fortunately tho, they didn't kick me out.""Your mom really is too much." Lisa non existent respect for the lady dropped to a minus. "I don't care. I only have to hold on for less than a month, and I am gone." She stated. "And the phone?" Lisa asked."Yeah." Karen dipped a hand into a pocket and slid it over to her. "It broke really badly." Lisa cringed on seeing the break marks on the screen. "Tell me about it." Lisa's thumb pressed on the on button and the screen lighted up. With a blue light. She was surprised. "It still works?""Miraculously." Karen nodded. "And the touchpad isn't that affected too. Only the top-right part of the screen isn't working." Lisa was just about to return it to her when the phone started to vibrate. "Someone's calling.""Let me see." Karen stared at the number for a few seconds before deciding to answer. "Hello?""Hello, is this the lady I bumped into the other night?""Ye

Two days later, on Lisa's side. "Ah—what happened to you?" Karen slipped into the chair opposite Lisa, throwing her purse on the table. U"Unemployment." Lisa's sigh was filled with emotion. Soft music played in the background of the small bar, creating a cozy atmosphere."We got to stop doing this." Karen groaned under her breath. "Doing what?" Lisa lifted up a glass and chugged down the beer, the liquor burning down her throat. "Drinking all the time." Karen poured herself a cup, and leaned against her chair. "What is the best way to down your sorrow than a heartfelt drink?" "Right." Karen could only agree. "You look like you have a lot on your mind." Lisa stared at her closely, noticing her unease."Do I?" Karen shrugged"What is on her mind?" Lisa asked and she halted, looking down at her empty glass. "It is okay if you don't want to tell me.""It's not that." Karen was quick to refute."So i—""Hmmm....." Lisa urged her on with a low hum."I want to go back to school."

"Mr. Axel, where are we going?" Lisa asked staring out of the window. It was cold and showering hard, with the top of buildings covered in white. He glanced at her and said. "You talk too much. Why are you so curious? Lisa pursed her lips, already starting to regret why she had agreed to spend the day with him. Seeing that black lines were starting to form on her face, Axel gave a loud laugh. "It is a surprise.""I hate surprises." Lisa mumbled under her breath. Still without a choice, she was left in suspense until Axel drove into a parking lot. He climbed down and urged her to do the same. "Are we walking?" Lisa tugged on her coat, wrapping it around her firmly to keep the cold out. "It is not far." He responded. True to his words, they stopped a few blocks away, and Lisa's eyes trailed a big sign in front of the building. Underwater City? She turned to Axel, who refused to give anything away. "Let's go in." e said. Lisa had a hunch as she walked after him. They were app

"Now?" Lisa looked around the party that was too in full swing. "Why? is there something you are waiting for?" Axel asked, briefly glancing back. Lisa passed the cop to a passing waiter and gently followed after him."Already leaving. So soon." Aurora, the chairman's third daughter, blocked his way, a soft pout on her lips. "Pardon me, but I have something important tomorrow and unfortunately I have to excuse myself." He stated, just like a gentleman. "I see." Aurora noted, in understanding. "It was my fault. I almost forgot that your job must be very taxing." She then turned to Lisa, her lips hooked in a bright smile. "It is nice to meet you. Let's get to know each other better next time. Merry Christmas in advance.""Merry Christmas." Lisa sincerely smiled back. Massive fireworks exploded in the skies as they stepped out of the event hall, and the two took a moment to appreciate the beauty that smeared the skies. "Merry Christmas in advance, Mr. Axel." Lisa said to Axel, who l

The event was held in a hotel, and Axel handed his keys to the frontman walking in the red carpets with an arm linked to Lisa's. For Lisa, who wasn't used to the intense flashing of cameras, she felt the world turn white for some seconds and only recovered when they entered the main hall."Are you alright?" Axel glanced at her, and she pressed down the urge to rub on her eyes, not wanting to ruin her makeup. She nodded stiffly. "I am good.""You should be, after all this has just began."Axel wasn't bluffing when he said this. They first went on to congratulate the celebrant, then the host, which was his children, and after then it was business mode, and Lisa was once again reminded of the fact that Axel wasn't just any bipolar jerk. He was the CEO of the top tech company in the world. Every word he said hit on the point, and how he could easily dominate any discussion couldn't fail to amaze her. It was to the extent where Lisa, who thought of herself to be really extroverted, fe

"What are you wearing?" Axel's eyes twitched as Lisa walked towards him.She scanned his body tailored, navy blue suit, matched with a dark ash tie.His hair was made in a messily, sexy style, and she is hit with a realization. "Are we going somewhere important?""Tell me." He gives her a scowl. "Of course yes. Why else would I ask you to dress nice if it isn't somewhere important?""That is also what you said last time and I ended up overdressing." Lisa said hinting to the last time she followed him to the hospital.Axel looked at her, at lost for words. In the end he lets out a sigh, brushing his fingers through his curls. "If you give me ten minutes I can go back and change into something el—""Don't bother." He opened the door for her and said indifferently. "Get in.""What? I can't go like this, can I?" Lisa immediately protested. Feeling it would be too embarrassing.Axel stared straight at her then repeated. "Get in."'ah, wherever it is your loss. After all I am going in you

With a heart full of annoyance, Lisa sat down and ate all the toast and scrambled eggs herself. Then clean out all the dirty dishes using the dishwasher.The living room was big, almost three times the size of her room, and although arranged sophisticatedly, with exotic designs and artwork hanging on the walls, sitting alone on the light brown sofa, Lisa was hit with a feeling of emptiness.It was so quiet that she could almost hear her own breath in her ear. The mansion was lavish and grand. But also lonely and empty. She could not imagine someone living every single day of the year in such way.'does he not feel lonely?' Lisa quickly shook those thoughts as they came. 'of course not. He must have a lot of friends....and girlfriends.'After idling away her time for a few minutes, she succumbed to her worries and stood up to check on Axel.Hoping he was asleep.She contemplated for a while, standing in front of the door. Whether to knock or not. Afraid of disturbing him if he were as
