Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 71: Misery
[katalina]It felt just like an ordinary day that I'll go to work. But today, why does it seemed as if the time froze? Like I lnow that it'll only take about fifteen minutes at most, from my apartment. But why does it seemed like I have been sitting my ass in this chair for a long period of time? And... why's the car not moving? As I look at Ian, he was busy playing mobile games. "Ian? What the hell?" "Shh," he shushed me. I scoffed. "I'll be late for work!" "I know.""Why did you stop the car?!"Ian glared ate with bored eyes. "I told you already, the tire is flat. You didn't listen to me because you were too busy calling our boss' name," he added. My forehead creased. "Was I that miserable this whole time, to the extent that I have been uttering his name?
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 72: Eavesdrop and Fact Checks
[katalina]The team that was supposed to fix the car's tire arrived. Meanwhile, Ian was still on hisbphone, busy playing games. "I'll go to the nearest convenience store," I told him. I suddenly feel hungry, despite the fact that I finished esting breakfast. Ian responded to me using a nod.I gues that is more than enough confirmation that he knew where I am about to. While I was walking on the side of the road, I instantly recognize a printed tarpaulin of a handsome man. Hunter Collins. There were small circle of friend gathered in front of the poster. And I couldn't stop myself from coming near them and eavesdrop whike theybare talking. "He's so perfect, isn't he?" "Agreed. Not only does he have good looks, but he also have a kind heart. Like providing funds for the orphans, LGBTQ community, elderly — and any other community house that helps other people." "Indeed. He also answered my prayers by granting me a scholarship. Since I can't pay tuitions because of inflations and
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 73: He Arrived
[katalina]After buying the food for my stomach, I made my way to the car. Ian was still playing mobile games. "Is it fixed already?" I asked, my eyes glued on the tire. They don't seem flat anymore. Ian bobbed his head. "We should go now," he closed his phone and opened the car's door for me. I thanked him as I entered. The ride was a smooty sail. I didn't realize we arrived at the office. "Break a leg," Ian honked the car before leaving.I watched him speeding as the car move away from me.I made my way into the entrance but my eyes caught a familiar person that I wasn'r expecting to be here. Why is he here? What's he doing? .

[katalina]I stopped on my tracks and looked around. This shouldn't be happening right now! The plan won't work he saw us. Hunter! I lowered my head and walked to the fountain in front of the building. It's the only spot that I found to somehow, hide "us" from Hunter. My heels stopped when I heard his footsteps coming near me. "You walk too fast," he commented, catching his breath. I turn around. Silently praying that no one —especially those people who knew mew— would see us right now.I am talking about my editor, Jerry! "What are you doing here?!" my voice slightly raised. He scoffed. "You still work for me, Katalina. Watch your tone," there's a hint of irk in his voice. I bit my lower lip and slowly nodded my head. "I-I'm sorry, S-Sir." "Why didn't you tell me?" "T-Tell you what?"
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 75: Sealed Deal
[katalina]I scoffed. "Are you being for real now?!" I couldn't control raising my voice. Who wouldn't?! When your boss is blackmailing you for the sake of his position and our company. I crossed my arm. I want to punch Jerry in the face right now. But this will just stir commotion.And I don't want to gather the people's attention to us. Jerry shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry, but you left us with no choice. It's either you will make the exposé or I will make the exposé." "I thought our deal was sealed? You said you'll give me one month!" "It's still effective. We're just making sure that the success will be vivid."
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 76: Eyes of an Eagle
[katalina]My soul almost left my body. By the time I opened the door of Hunter's office, he was opening the door on the other side too. I jolted in surprise. "Geez!" I cluctched my chest. Oh, God! I feel like I'm going to faint. "Hey. What took you so long?" Hunter asked, rubbing the back of his neck. "I didn't mean to startle you," he added. I nodded my head. Hunter moved aside as I entered the office. "It's okay. I had two cups of coffee. That's why I get nervous easily," I lied. Hunter closed the door behind me. "Who's the man you're talking?" I stopped on my tracks. Did he see me?How?Why?But the most important question is, did he hear us?
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 77: Manipulator
[katalina]"M-Man?"I sounded redundant. I need to find a quick excuse for this. Because sooner or later, Hunter will know that I am lying. "He's just asking for directions," I said. I then turn around and went to my desk. His footsteps followed me. "Directions to where?" I opened a folder, pretending that I am busy. Bit my mind is shaking already. "Nearest tourist attraction," I managed to look Hunter in the eyes. I jolted for a second. But I managed to resist the surging fear. Hunter's gaze were piercing through my soul. "Aren't you busy?" I broke the silence, hoping it would burst the doubts inside his head too. Luckily, Hunter clicked for it. "Right! I want you to book us a seat in — wait, I forgot the hotel's name. Hold on." Hunter proceeds to his desk and opened his phone. Relief suffused my expression.
Exposing Mister Billionaire Chapter 78: Guests
[katalina]The day goes on and Hunter forgot about what happened earlier. Although, he didn't make it such a bigvdeal. But knowing I am lying, it felt so terrifying for me. I watched his back while answering the phone. If I was the same person back during my first week here, I would eavesdrop. But now? Not anymore. But I need to speed things up. A month could be like in a vblibk of an eye. And I might lose everything I hoped for. And I don't want it. "Okay, thank you," Hunter ended the call. He turned around and face me. "Would you mind cooking our dinner tonight?" he askee all of a sudden. I nodded my ehad without hesitation. "Sure! Do you have guests for tonight?" Hunter nodded his head. "Yeah. Not just an ordinary guests but our batchmates!" My forehead creased. We've never been in the same school. What is he talking about?"Classmates but—""David and Lago? They knew you, Amanda."If Hunter didn't call my name, I'll answer him like how I used to know as Katalina. But I
