Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 30
It was finally the day set for the zoo date and Giovanni couldn’t believe how much of a hurry he was in to finish his work for the day and head over to Emily’s college to pick her up. He was to pick leave his office by 12pm, get to her by 1pm and by 2.30pm, they would be at the zoo. It was a plan he had carefully drafted the day before and in contrast to the plan, he suddenly found himself being extra busy. Despite getting to work exactly 7am, he still had a pile of work to attend to. A pile he couldn’t see himself getting rid of before 12pm.With a groan, he massaged his temples and peered at his laptop screen, his head slowly beginning to ache as a result of staring at screens for so long. He needed a cup of coffee and just as he was about to call for it, the door to his office flew open to reveal August. “You seem busy.” “I am busy,” he replied him, barely sparing him a glance. “Why are you here? I need a cup of coffee so are you here to help me with that?” “That’s not the ac
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 31
“What are you doing here?” Emily was walking out of the cafeteria with a bottle of soda in her hand when she spotted August walking towards her. “And why are you smiling?” She added before he could reply her initial question. “This is weird.” “Miss Stark-“ “I told you to call me just Emily,” she corrected him. “Hearing Miss Stark from Giovanni is more than enough. I don’t need you calling me that too.” “Alright then, Emily,” he nodded, his smile still on his face. “You must be wondering why I’m here.” She indeed was. Giovanni was meant to come pick her up himself so they could go to the zoo so of course it was strange to see him in his place. “Well, Giovanni is busy,” he said, Emily immediately blinking. He was busy? So busy he was going to cancel their date?! “So, he asked me to pick you up on his behalf.” “Oh,” Emily heaved a light sigh in relief but almost immediately, got worried again. “Wait, what?! So you’ll be going on the date with me instead of him?!” “What? No!” Augu
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 32
Giovanni and Emily walked side by side, a comfortable distance between between them as they walked into the zoo. The afternoon sun beamed down upon them, casting a warm glow that mirrored the growing excitement in Emily as she walked in. “You seem excited. Really excited.” “Oh, I am,” Emily nodded at Giovanni. “Extremely excited in fact. I’ve always wanted to visit a zoo.” “Why did you never visit one then?” Giovanni asked they strolled in. “It’s not much of a big deal, is it?” “You’re right,” she nodded. “I’ve just never had a reason to come. The way I grew up, I didn’t get a chance to have whatever i wanted simply because I wanted it.” “Oh,” he wiggled his eyebrows. “At least, you’re getting to visit it now. You should make the most of this opportunity then.” “Ah yes I will!” She didn’t wait for him and quickly took the lead, waking around the zoo to take advantage of the opportunity in her hand to the fullest. It sef what she had always wanted anyways, Emily cherishing eve
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 33
Emily pulled the zipper of her backpack and fastened it, immediately grabbing it as she prepared to step out of the house. It was finally time for her to leave for the camp. She wasn’t exactly pleased or thrilled but had no choice- afterall her grade was on the line and Giovanni had willingly sacrificed enough to make sure she didn’t miss her opportunity. With a groan, she slammed the front door and made her way made her way out of the house. She had no idea what to expect from the camp, the only information given to her being one to gather at the faculty to meet the professor in charge. Tyler had sent his well wishes to her but they didn’t include him keeping her company. According to him, he’d have loved to at least escort her to school and be with her before taking off but he had somewhere important to be, leaving her with no choice but to go alone. With the bus station in sight, she had only taken a couple of steps away from the house when she immediately spotted a familiar c
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 34
The first day of the camp kicked off and it was just as Emily expected. There were a couple of students just like her, more than half of them having the same uninteresting expression on her face. They all obviously didn’t want to be at the camp, their grades being the only reason they found themselves there. For the first day, they had to move from location to location, planting seeds at every spot as their little way of helping the planet. They were split into groups, Emily paired with a bunch of girls she had never met before. She had never been one to have that much female friends right since she was a kid. She bonded more easily with the guys in her class, Tyler being more than enough example as they had been friends since forever. Now, without him around, she felt bored and lonely. With no one to talk to but herself, she carried on with her duties for the day, literally counting down till the moment she could return to school, get her grades up and go back to her normal life
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 35
Two entire days had gone by and it was finally the last day of the camp. And three days since Giovanni and Emily last texted each other. Her phone buzzed again, a light sigh escaping her lips. She could already tell who it was. It was Tyler, the only person that had been texting her ever since she got to camp. Tyler: You’re leaving today, right? Tyler: Do you want me to come pick you up? She smiled at his thoughtfulness, immediately remembering how Giovanni asked August to drive her on her first day. Emily: No, you don’t have to. Emily: We’re just going to take the bus together anyways. Emily: so there’s no point to it. Emily: I’ll just see you tomorrow later when I get home. “Who are you texting?” Emily immediately recognized the voice behind her as Jane’s. They had spent the past few days together and overtime, she had gotten used to hearing her voice at the most random moments. “Is it your boyfriend?” She asked, walking up to Emily with her luggage behind her. “You seem
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 36
Emily’s eyes widened as she stared at the message on her phone. She read it over and over and it still made absolutely no sense to her. Her sister? Stacy texting her out of the blue? Her stomach churned at the mere thought. She had not heard from her in weeks and though she had barely bothered about it all, the thought of Stacy in danger made her unsettled inside. They weren’t close and had never been close. But she knew her sister well enough to know she wasn’t one to make jokes like that. Yes, she could be spontaneous and do crazy things no one imagined like her running away on the day of her wedding and going into hiding but suddenly texting her sister she barely spoke to help her? It was completely unlike her and worrisome. Worrisome enough to get Emily lose her composure for a while. Immediately, she tried dialing the number responsible for the text, all her calls getting forwarded in response. She called over and over, the results the same, Emily beginning to get paranoid an
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 37
Without even a second thought, Giovanni slammed his laptop shut and rose to his feet, ready to make the decision that was going to change the course of his entire evening. He couldn’t ignore Emily. The fear and worry in her voice. It was one he had absolutely never heard before yet sounded so desperate and scary in a way. Three days had passed since he last spoke to her, purposely giving her time to work on school related stuffs at the camp. Though he wasn’t sure when she was going to return home, all he was expecting was a text from her announcing her arrival not a call like that. “Giovanni?” August walked into his offic, staring at him in confusion as he packed his things and prepared to leave for the day. “Are you getting off work already?” “Yes,” he barely spared him a glance as he replied. “I have somewhere to be.” “What? Where?” August’s confusion was still very evident. “All of a sudden? What’s going on? It’s unlike you to leave work before closing hours.” “Miss Stark,”

Several months later… “And that’s a wrap for today.” August raised his head over his macbook to take a glance at Giovanni, genuinely amused as those words escaped his lips. Months ago, he was the boss that didn’t care about things like a stated closing hour. He worked till whenever he pleased and only left the office when it was beginning to feel too late to be in the office. But now, he was a completely different person- he never spent a minute past 4pm working. “Alright sir.” “Yes, sir.” “Thank you for today, sir.” The sounds of papers shuffling filled the air, followed by the scraping of chairs as staffs rose to their feet, hitting the floor with their heels as they rushed out of the meeting room. In no time, the room was left empty to no one but August and Giovanni, preparing to do the same. Except Giovanni was more nervous than August could ever be. “You leaving work by exactly 4pm would never cease to amaze me,” August had to comment. “I guess love really does change
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 99
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Giovanni watched August loosen his tie as he nodded, seeming convinced on the decision he was about to take. After what seemed like an eternity, they were both done with work for the day and naturally, were supposed to head home. But August had decided he wanted to visit a bar and of course, drag Giovanni with him. A sigh escaped Giovanni’s lips as he watched his best friend finally free himself from the clutches of his tie, dancing a little as he shoved the little piece of clothing down his pocket. Though he wasn’t sure what exactly he was expecting when he called Tyler several hours, he was sure that wasn’t it. “Yes,” August nodded, flinging his arm across Giovanni’s shoulders, earning a shudder from him. “I’m just going to drink a little then head home.” “A little?” it was hard to believe he wasn’t drunk already the way his words drawled. “August, you intended to drink just a little yesterday?” “That was yesterday,” he waved his fingers in
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 98
August woke up with a headache, serving as a dreadful reminder of how the previous night went. Dozens of bottles of wine, hundreds of honesty laced words. And of all the audience to have accompanying his foolishness, it just had to be Giovanni. “Fuck,” he groaned, reaching for his phone. He could remember Giovanni driving him home after he drank himself to stupor but that was all. He couldn’t remember anything else- like how he had gotten into his bed or how he had gotten his phone next to him. “Shit, what’s the time?” He swiped his phone unlock to check the time but literally immediately, his eyes caught something else. It was his call log. And sitting prettily at the top was a missed call from Tyler. It was more than enough to cure his hangover, his eyes immediately widening. A missed call from Tyler? How did that happen? When did that happen? Why did that happen? For the hundredth time, he let out a groan, realizing he still had no memory of what happened the previous night
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 97
“You think you have a crush on August?” Tyler took in a deep breath, sitting up as the words finally escaped from the clutches of his throat. After weeks and weeks of denial, he had finally decided to come clean to himself. And finally, his best friend too. “Yes,” he nodded, his heart racing in his chest. “I think I have a crush on him.” Emily’s expression was unreadable for a while, wavering between shock and confusion. She always knew there was something fishy going on between him and August. She knew there was more to their relationship than he was admitting but couldn’t frankly figure out Tyler having a crush on him. “Are you surprised?” Tyler swallowed as he asked. “Disappointed? Dis-” “No, no,” Emily quickly interrupted him. “It’s nothing like that. Shocked? Yes, I am, a little. But disappointed? I’m not ‘dis’ anything.” “Oh,” he broke into an awkward chuckle, his chest feeling a lot lighter. “Well, yeah. I know you’re probably wondering how it all happened but I guess,
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 96
Emily feet remained glued to the ground, shock flooding her veins. Not just shock though- she had a couple of other emotions running through her. Anger, deceit, betrayal- to a name a few. Her sister was fine? Stacy was fine all along? She was just hiding from her and making a total fool out of her with the consent of both her parents? All along, her disappearance was just an act put in place by her and her parents because she didn’t want to get married to Giovanni? She didn’t want to believe her ears but with every second that passed, the brutal truth was slapped onto her face all over again. It was slowly making sense and finally, the anger in her grew and overpowered every other emotion she felt. Without hesitating for even a second, she balled her fist and immediately pushed the door to her parents’ room open, revealing herself to them. “Alright dear. We’ll call you some other time to- Oh my God, Emily.” Her face grew cold as she stared at them, watching her mum immediately
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 95
Their ride to Giovanni’s had only lasted a couple of minutes when his phone vibrated by his side, signifying a text message. Busy with driving, he immediately asked Emily to check what it was on his behalf, the duo immediately realizing August needed Giovanni’s presence for something urgent. Needless to guess, something work related. “I could cancel,” Giovanni suggested, noticing the disappointed look on Emily’s face. “Tell him I’m busy or something. I don’t have to-” “No,” she shook her head, refusing his offer. “You don’t have to.” “But-” “It’s probably important,” she flashed him a weak smile. “And come on, you’ve been away from work for a while so it’s probably really urgent. You should go. I’ll be fine.” “Alright then,” he nodded in return. “But I’ll drive you home first. Do not even try to object to that. I’m driving you home.” Already disappointed at their time together getting cut short abruptly, Emily had no intention of wasting the few moments they could spend togethe

Giovanni: I'm outside.A text from Giovanni had never given Emily that much joy. And without wasting a single second, she grabbed her bag and dashed out of the classroom, heading to the parking lot to meet the man responsible for her bundle of joy.Her temporary goodbye to Tyler was quick. And thanks to her all sense of reasoning being overshadowed by her happiness, she couldn't notice how absentminded Tyler was as he mumbled out a reply.But that didn't matter. Not at the moment.In a flash, she found herself at the parking lot, her head shot up as her eyes roamed around excitedly. In barely a minute of searching, she found him waving at her and eagerly rushed towards him."Hi.""Hi."Awkwardness threatened to settle between them, Emily quickly fighting back by breaking into a light chuckle. Followed by a blush creeping towards her cheeks as he remembered everything that transpired between them twenty-four hours ago."Hev.""So how was your test?" Giovanni asked. "Did it go well?""
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 93
With head hung low, Tyler managed to drag himself back to class. Darn that test he needed to write. Scrap his grade that needed to be saved- all he just wanted to do was head back home and get busy with anything that was going to prevent him from thinking. But he had no choice, hence had to be in class whether he wanted to or not. “Tyler!” The second he stepped into class again, he heard Emily call out his name. “Here.” He looked around him and realizing the professor was still yet to arrive, he walked towards her with a sluggish nod and returned to his previous seat. “Who did you head out to meet?” She asked immediately without wasting a single second. “Who was it? What was so urgent?” “Nothing,” he looked away. “It was nothing.” “You went to meet someone,” she insisted. “Who was it?” “I didn’t meet anyone.” “Was it a girl? Ah, is it a girl? Is there a girl you’re hitting on?” “No, it’s wasn’t a girl!” “I thought you said you didn’t meet anyone,” a full smirk appeared on
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 92
Tyler got on his toes and as quietly as he could, he picked up his clothes from floor and threw them on. August was still asleep and he couldn’t be more glad for that. It was the perfect opportunity for him to sneak out of the house without waking him up and in the process, starting unnecessary drama. Just like he did the previous night, he had a lot of emotions running through his veins. Confusion, nervousness, anxiety- the list could go on. But at least, one thing he was glad he wasn’t feeling was regret. Regret for sleeping with August. He spared his sleepy self a quick glanced and sighed, immediately getting the last bits of his things. All ready to leave, he walked out of the room and in no time, was successfully out of the house. “Crap.” He had classes in the morning and a test in the afternoon. He didn’t feel particularly great about himself though, making him contemplate ditching both of them. But he immediately remembered he couldn’t. It was a major test and unless he wa
