Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 33: I'm Just... Jealous
[katalina]I’m with Hunter now. We’re taking the route back home. My body is aching like I’ve been hazed by a fraternity.On our way home, Hunter was so serious on the road. He won’t believe me when I confessed that Bernard was just a fictional character in the book I was reading before.He didn’t know about my past. Nor he deserves to know.Of course, prior to I became a researcher and writer in one, reading pocket novels are my pastime. It helps me to escape the cruel world.Call me a hopeless romantic, but it’s better to read it than to see it in a movie. Sometimes, the actors tend to overact the scene. Which is considerably a cringe moment. Reasons why I hate watching romantic shows.“Hunter,” it was the nth time that I called his name.But the billionaire was determined to ignore me as if my existence were air.The car stopped as the traffic light blinks red. He sighed.“Look, the past week was bizarre for me in a good way,” I said. He looked at me. Still with no emotions at all.
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 34: Helping Her Boss
[katalina]I couldn’t find the words to respond.Did he just say he was jealous? About what?What is Hunter talking about?“Jealous about what?” I asked him.His cheeks flushed. He looked away from me and scratched his temples. “You should try the egg omelette I made. It’s just simple but delicious,” he diverted the topic.Hunter remained looking at the food. My eyes were glued to him. He tried to take a swift glance but he caught my eyes on him.Rolling my eyes in the air and began eating.When we were done, I waited for him in the living area, sitting on his fancy couch.My butt sits comfortably. It felt like sitting on a cloud. I noticed that a commotion was beginning to arise outside his mansion.I walked closer to the window and peeked at the gate. Paparazzi and reporters are flooding in the way. They look so hungry. Not craving for food. But the craving for Hunter’s piece. Either photo, a quick interview, or a video of him.Was he accustomed to all of this? Is this how Hunter’s
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 35: PR Stunt
[katalina]“Do I look good? Or should I hit the gym real quick,” Hunter scratched his head. “I don’t know if my abs would look good in pictures.”He was standing in front of me. Shirtless. His abs amplify how delicious he looked like. It’s very evident why plenty are obsessed with him.I couldn’t take my eyes off his body. Damn. I can’t believe I had sex with him. I’m over the phase of crying after losing my virginity to Hunter.But…Good Lord. His body is just… the definition of perfect. Slowly my eyes went up. Memorizing every corner of his body.Our gazes met. Hunter looked at me with a sincere smile on his lips.Why is he always like this? I guess being kind is innate for him. Maybe he’s not trying hard to be nice at all. Perhaps, I judged him too quickly and commented early about his character.“You’re drooling,” Hunter said.I jolted while sitting on the couch. I then wiped my mouth. But it was dry. My brows furrowed while staring at him.Hunter laughed. “You should see yourself

Customers flooded the majority of his fast food chain branch.I could feel how happy Hunter was. It made me smile too.Ian burped loudly. I glanced at him. He was drinking a bottle of liquor. He caught my eye. Ian winked at me before returning his attention to the television.“Oh, shit, that’s me,” Hunter chuckled while the television screen replayed his pr stunt.“News report: The sizzling hot billionaire was seen on Mahogany Street a while ago. His tire burn out and he fixed it. What surprised the people is that he was shirtless. And yes, as you can see—ohh. Ooh. That body.”The camera focused on Hunter’s body. It glistened with sweat. Amplifying his abs and toning his chest even more.There are lines of grease. Which he puts on intentionally. The camera slowly lifted to his face. And his side profile was breathtaking.“Damn, boss. You’re

[katalina]By the time I woke up, Hunter was no longer in bed.Where did he go? I searched for him in the bedroom. But no traces of my boss.Stretching my hands in the air and went downstairs. His maids greeted me. And I responded back.I was still looking for Hunter. I have no idea where he will go during his day off.His maids were too busy. And I’m shy to disturb them by asking if they see Hunter.So, my instincts tell me to find him on my own. My feet dragged me to the pool area.The sun hits the water in the pool, glistening as if they are small diamonds reflected by light.I yawned.“Boo!” Ian jumpscares me behind my back and held my shoulders.He laughed.I clutched my chest. My heart pounded so loud. “Fuck you,” I cursed at him.Ian just laughed. “And good morning to you too,” he greeted.An eye roll was my response. Crossing my arms, tucked beneath my chest and heaved a sigh.“You’re looking for him?” Ian pulled a chair on the table near the pool.I sat across from him. “Whe

[katalina]The man and I stared at each other. His face was familiar.I am sure. I've seen him before. One hundred percent.He smiled at me. "You are the woman at the restaurant," he said.I suddenly remembered. The scenario of our first meeting played out in my mind.When I received a task from my editor. I snapped my fingers in the air."You're the waiter," I said with a smile.He scratched his head. He chuckles weakly. His perfect porcelain-colored teeth came out.It's like he's a Hollywood model. His beauty is unique.He is the type of man who is a red flag but you want to help him change. I do not know. Suddenly that opinion about him entered my mind.What is his name again?I frowned. I was about to speak.But suddenly Hunter came. His voice came from behind the man."Amanda?" my boss called me.I peeked behind the man. I forgot the man's name."Hunter," I said. I approached him.My brows furrowed. Hunter looked at the man intently. As if he wanted to smash his face.The man's a

[katalina]I took a deep breath.No enjoyment flows through my feelings. I'm like a stone. Not moving. Not saying anything. just sitting on the bleachers.My blood was already boiling. It's hard to explain how I feel. Why do I feel annoyed?If only I had known that my day off would be like this when I was with him, I wish I wouldn't have gone.Can I say no? He is my boss. And… his eyes are hypnotizing. And his flowery tongue tickles my eardrums.Hunter knew exactly what to say to get someone to follow.I thought I was invincible. I thought I was immune to his charm because I didn't like him.But I failed."Amanda? Are you okay?" Ian asked me.He is still enjoying himself. Eating popcorn. Cheering loudly for his boss— our boss.I tried to smile. He might doubt again. And tease me even more. "I'm fine. You? Have you ever run out of popcorn?” I joked with him.Ian laughed softly. "Boring here," he yawned. "I'm not a fan of horseriding. I prefer food trips.”I smiled somehow. "Me too!""B

We laughed in unison.And we don’t care about the people around us. As if they never existed. We just let our waves of laughter echo in the air.Preston stared deep into my eyes. He stopped laughing. His face projects a serious expression.“What?” I asked smiling.He smiled back in response. “You’re absolutely stunning up close,” he complimented.I chortled. “Am I ugly in far?”Preston cackled and shook his head. “Of course not.”My cheeks flushed when his eyes landed on my supple lips.Clearing my throat and averted his gaze from him.
