Seducing The Billionaire Chapter 24
"We're having a meeting. I need to attend that first, is it okay?” That was Bryce's opening to me when he finally got in and got into the car. "It's okay. Grandpa is still here and hasn't left yet. I can just keep up with them," I answered as I turned to him. He looked at me and seemed to be calculating whether to agree to my suggestion. "No. I'll bring you home. It will be quick.” I would have screamed but I watched from where I was as the car used by Grandpa and his daughter left here earlier and I was sure that it was them too because I also saw Grandma Briella and Grandpa Elizalde looking at them until it completely disappeared from our sight. I kept quiet until Bryce started the engine of his car and drove toward the entrance of the building. When his car stopped, I didn't wait for him to get out and hoped that he would open the door for me because I immediately took the initiative, and maybe later I would be the one to be embarrassed. When he came in front of me, his forehead

I looked around the room where I was now. The color of its wall is dark blue and so are the thick and large curtains blocking the large young men and there in the half of the glass door where I can see the balcony. In front of me, I saw a door and I guessed it was the bathroom. On the other side of that is a double glass door that is also covered by a dark blue curtain from the inside and I think that is the walk-in closet. I dropped my body on the dark blue bed as well as the pillows and blankets that were covering me. My eyes widened and then the blanket was lifted and there I breathed a sigh of relief that the dress I was wearing earlier was still on today. I sat down again and leaned against the headboard of the bed until I looked at the side table where there was a lamp and a clock. It's 2:00 in the morning... I was surprised to look at the clock again just as I was about to close my eyes when I realized what time it was. I immediately left the covering of the blanket on my bod

A few days have passed since the night when Bryce disturbed my thoughts even more. The words he used that night have not disappeared from my mind and the questions that I can't answer have only increased, but until now I can't do anything other than keep it to myself. Although I really couldn't help but think that since that night, Braylon has always been here and teasing me just like the other day when he was here and Dra. Saighna was busy, I'm the one he's messing with. "I'm really surprised when Bryce suddenly silenced Eunice. I thought that he had convinced him to sign the contract with Suarez, especially Eunice's smile of victory but.. but..” He did not immediately finish what he was saying when suddenly he was led by his laughter that He can still clearly see and witness what he is telling in front of him, "...Eunice was even more hopeful when Bryce stood up and then took off the suit he was wearing. I even saw Eunice biting her lip and tucking a few strands of her hair behind h

"When did you tell me a story? You're always lazy!" I grinned when I imagined how much Arthur was stressing me out but he couldn't do anything because he wanted me to mess him up rather than his girls messing him up. "Can you send me the information that you can tell me about Don Carlos Diego Aquino y Suarez?" "You know that it is confidential, Gia." "Yes, I know. That's why I said those are the only ones you can give me, right?" “Tsk. Okay. I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." "Thank you!" I smiled widely because I had not failed and I could show Bryce that I was telling the truth. What I still don't want is that I'm the right one but I don't believe it because there's no evidence whatsoever. I felt disappointed in myself whenever that happened because I felt like I didn't do much to justify and fight for what I think is right. "When are you coming back here to Manila?" My attention returned to Arthur when he suddenly asked a question. "Why? You miss me already?" I asked teas

No one else spoke to the two of us again until we got to Bryce's office which is just there on the floor before where Grandma Briella had their guests on their anniversary. "We're here," said Braylon and then he opened the door for me. Before entering, I checked Braylon's face again, and when he noticed that, he smiled at me. That smile that I knew was real somehow and not as forced as before when I saw him in the elevator. "Thank you," I said and then entered Bryce's office. When I entered, I saw him with his back turned to me while sitting on his swivel chair. I took a deep breath before trying to get his attention but I was just in the middle of breathing when I was overtaken when he suddenly faced me. "What took you so long?" I was surprised when he greeted me with that question. “Huh?” "Tsk," he said and then reached for the wireless telephone at his side. "Call for a meeting now." I just remained standing where I was while observing the furrowing of his forehead and then i

"What do you think about my presentation?" I asked Bryce as I chased him out of the conference room. I couldn't help but feel nervous and excited about his reaction because earlier when we were inside the conference room, I didn't even look at the emotion on his face for a long time because I couldn't keep up with his gaze. He told me until he finally left that room after finishing the meeting. I forced myself to keep up with his steps because he was so tall that I could hardly keep up. I don't even know why and what kind of trip he's on because he seems to be in a hurry. When I was finally able to keep up with him and was able to see his face, my excitement immediately disappeared because I couldn't even detect any emotion there. I couldn't help but wonder if he was angry because of what I did to embarrass Eunice or maybe there was another reason since earlier when I just entered his office it was like he had a monthly visit if he looked at me. "Aren't you impressed?" I couldn't avoi

"Thank you, Dra. McKenna," Bryce politely promised the doctor before we got into his car. To this day my brain can barely process what is happening. Has anyone ever eaten what this guy did and suddenly wanted to come out?! When have we been so close for him to act like this? "Where exactly are we going, huh?" I couldn't stand it anymore so I only spent a few minutes in his car when I started asking questions. "I don't feel good about whatever your trip is." I will be true. "I can't imagine that you would suddenly want to go on a date. With me?! Have you eaten something to suddenly want to do that?!" I couldn't avoid raising my voice because of the frustration I was feeling earlier. Ever since he told me to get ready because he was going to pick me up tonight to go on a date, that hasn't left my mind. "What do you mean?" For the first time since I saw him again tonight his face had an expression. His brow furrowed slightly although his eyes remained on the road. "Are you going to ta

"And I'm hugging her right now." I don't know how many seconds passed before I finally processed what he said in my brain. I immediately got away from him and then faced him. I glared at him. "What do you mean you're hugging her right now?" I raised an eyebrow at him and then frowned. I immediately turned my back and then walked towards the living room of the yacht because I couldn't fight to look at him anymore. There's something in his eyes that seems like when he looks at me it penetrates my soul. "Is there something you want to eat?" he asked after a few minutes when all we could hear was the waves of the sea. His question was like a cue when my stomach suddenly started to boil. I was tormented by loss and I cursed with the wind. "Watch your mouth, lady," he reprimanded me before walking straight down a hallway that I think leads to the kitchen. I couldn't help but follow my curiosity that's why I followed it. "What do you want to eat?" "You know how to cook?" I couldn't help b

"Are you sure you want to take me?" I asked Bryce while we were on the yacht going to the other island where we were supposed to buy clothes that I would wear on the day of the prayer for his brother's death anniversary. I didn't have any clothes that would fit in such a gathering, so I was having second thoughts about going along, and another thing is that I'm still not that close to his family. I am only close to his grandparents and I feel comfortable only with them. Because it is certain that on the day of the prayer, many of his relatives will go there. "Yes. You looked restless a while ago. Are you okay?" he asked me. I couldn't avoid my two cheeks getting puffy as he gently pressed them so I gasped. I heard him laugh. "You're really cute, Gia." His compliment to me immediately caused my face to blush which I avoided by stroking him. "I can't help but be nervous because I'll see almost your whole family there," I said while bowing down but my forehead was wrinkled like that an

"Braylon," I called the man one morning when I saw him just finishing helping to organize the things that would be needed that day. "Gia," he also called me and then approached me. He took my medical bag and then we walked to the tent where I was assigned that morning. "Aren't you going to ask where Bryce is?" he suddenly asked and then placed the medical bag on the nearest chair. I smiled and then shook my head. "I already know that he is on the other island to accompany some of their investors." I can't help but be confident as I answer those words. I couldn't stop biting my lips either. Braylon suddenly winced. "Tss. I hope everyone is updated with each other," he promised and then sat in the seat next to the one where he placed the medical bag. "Yours, even if I try to update every minute with everything I've done, I'm doing and I've done, there's still nothing and I don't think there's any hope of being cared about anymore." There are traces of sullenness and sadness in his vo

"Hi." There was an immediate smile on his lips when I faced him. Like the moonlight it was dazzling. Honestly speaking, his good looks are always dazzling. Damn it, Gia. If Bryce came to read your mind, I swear you'll be digging your own grave because of embarrassment. I was exhausted. "What trip did you and Braylon have, hmm?" I kept asking to somehow get rid of the reddening of my face. "What do you mean trip?" His forehead immediately wrinkled when I raised my forehead because I couldn't help but smile. I like it every time his blank face gets different expressions when he talks to me. It makes me feel special because he becomes like that only to me. "This is not a trip, Gia. This is what you called a date." I couldn't help but feel sorry for him confirming that. I know what it is. I already have an idea but I'm preventing myself from assuming anything about this and the fact that he confirmed what brings butterflies into my stomach. When he guided me to sit down, I just let hi

"Where is that cousin of yours, Braylon?" I asked because we had just moved and everyone was on the yacht I still couldn't see him. I think I've been all over this yacht and I still can't see Bryce even though his shadow is gone. Braylon watched me laughing. "Are you so in love with my cousin and you can't be bothered by that? Can't you first be satisfied with the idea and the fact that we are going to see him?" I sighed and then leaned back in my seat. Here we are now in the cockpit. This yacht is not that big compared to the one Bryce and I was on. "Do you think I am in love with him already?" I couldn't avoid being asked although I couldn't look straight at Braylon who did nothing but eat and eat gummies. Suddenly I heard him sigh causing me to look up at him. His face became serious and it immediately gave me a strange feeling of nervousness. "You are in love, Gia." That's how seriously he said those words. "I don't have anything against what you're feeling towards my cousin bu

"Oh? What happened to your face? Why does it look like heaven and earth have fallen?" I asked Braylon one day when he suddenly appeared here again on a medical mission. He snorted and sat in front of my table where sat the patients we see every day. "Include hell as well," he promised. I grimaced and then pinched his forehead causing him to moan, hold him there and give me a bad look. "Get settled. What happened again, huh? Did Saighna ignore you again?" I asked even though I knew Saighna always did that to him. "Is that even a question up until now?" Sadness can be seen in his voice but if I let him feel more and more that the woman doesn't like him, he will only get sadder. I just shook my head and then took a jar of gummy worms from the bag at my side. "Here. Just eat those gummy worms," I promised, and then immediately gave him three. Suddenly, when I looked up at him, he was glaring at me. "Oh why?", "Why three?" he asked and then motioned to me the gummy worms that were a

During the trip back to the medical mission, Bryce still didn't release his grip on my hand. But that's how quickly I let him go when I saw a commotion in the area. We immediately got out of the car when we saw that everyone was in trouble. "What happened?" I asked when I saw Braylon helping the rioters and taking care of the nurses and doctors for the injured residents of the island. "I don't know. Suddenly, something exploded in a house at the far end of the island. When we got there and looked, the whole house was on fire. Fortunately, the people who lived there were outside when it exploded, but because due to the force caused by the explosion, materials from the house were thrown, causing injuries to people close to the area," Braylon explained at length before again supporting the nurses who were just approaching us who had their lead too. I started to act. I went to the tent where the other patients were. Compared to the tents we have been using for the past few days, this o

"Hey.." His voice was very soft. It's like his tone is holding me back. It's too light, the opposite of what I'm feeling now. "Hush now, baby. Shh. I'm here. I won't leave you," he promised as I felt him kiss my hair. We both let each other sit on the grass facing the sea while my tears continued to fall. "I lose my younger sister.." I promised he stopped him even though he hugged me tighter. "I lose her and I blame my parents for so long without thinking that they are also hurt by what happened." I stopped when I felt something start to block my throat. "I blamed them. I blame them and because of that, I become selfish. I didn't think that if I lost my brother, they lost too." I felt even more the tightening of his hug on me even as he kissed my hair again. "I let them feel that they lose both of me and my sister. I failed them. I failed them, Bryce. I failed my parents. I let them feel those things just because I became selfish. I only thought about myself. I'm just thinking about

I don't know what time I fell asleep again this morning. I just woke up when I heard someone talking to Mommy outside. I was going to leave the room. When I woke up and the morning stars were slightly removed from my eyes, I was immediately greeted by a very fragrant and masculine man who smelled like the person who had his back on me now. He was wearing a black suit and from where I was I could see how broad his shoulders were. You wouldn't think there was a wound behind the expensive clothes she was wearing. When Mommy noticed me, her smile widened. They were so beautiful that I almost forgot that he cried last night. "Gia is already awake-" Mommy interrupted what she was about to say when I quickly entered my room again. I remembered that I didn't even have anything in order with my face. Shame! Her perfume was wafting and I didn't even have a toothbrush! Shame on you, Gia! "I guess he will fix it," I heard Mommy promise followed by laughter. I acted quickly and did everything I

I woke up one night when I suddenly heard crying from the other room. I immediately got up and checked what time it was. One o'clock in the morning… I quickly went to my mother's room. It was dark there so I stumbled before finally sitting on the edge of her bed. I felt the lampshade and turned on its light. I immediately got nervous when I saw my mother crying. "Mom," I called her while squeezing her cold and trembling hand. "Mommy, wake up," I said while caressing her cheek. I wiped her tears even though they continued. "Mom. Mommy, wake up." She tossed back and looked like she was catching her breath when she finally woke up. She continued to cry until she turned to me. That's how she whined when she saw me. She hugged both her knees and headed there. She let her crying continue again while I didn't know what to do. "Mom..." I called her. "Mom, you're having a nightmare.." I said and then guided her head to rest on my shoulder so that she could cry there as long as she wanted
