The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 18
Traizle "Why did you ask for me?" I asked Zarsuelo. He called on the telephone a while ago, saying he wanted me to come to his office. "Can you ask the cafeteria if I still have my sweets?" Zarsuelo said. I sighed and put the folders in his table. "You should have told me about that when you called," I told him. "It's early in the morning and you are going to pig out already?" I asked him back. It's early in the morning and he already wants to eat sweets? "Pig out is too offensive!" He growled. "I am craving some sweets and I wanted to see you too." he added. "That is pigging out." I told him, avoiding the other sentence he said. "I said that word is too offensive!" He growled again. So, he doesn't want to be labeled as pigging out, so I'm going to put it on my key card against him. I drew near him and looked at his garbage can beside his table. "I know you ate already, then why are you asking for more? Isn't it too much taking that in the morning?" I asked him. The c

Traizle They smile at my compliments. Seeing them happy makes me happy too. I did not know that working here could make me gain friends I never thought of having. Maybe because of Zarsuelo's influence, I can't even see an employee who is more serious than him. They are all friendly and fun to talk to. Aeron and his team showed me their plan for the commercial and the example flyer that will be used afterwards. "It is excellent," I commented, after reviewing the video plan. "It will be more of a high quality after taking this one with the chosen celebrity." I added. I looked at the sample flyer and examined it. "You guys did well, I can't say anything with this sample already. You deserve a thumbs up." I complimented their hard work. They really prepared for this. "Do you want me to show this to Zarsuelo?" I asked them. Their expression quickly turned to tense. "Do you think he will like it?" Anna asked. I nodded. "He is dumb if he will not," I said, laughing. "Aeron, co

Traizle "Yes, why?" He answered. That taken me aback. "I never saw you with your car." I replied. It’s the first time I met a billionaire who doesn’t usually use his car. Oddball. "It's because I am always eating sweets and I needed to burn them by walking. Why? Do you want to ride in my car?" he asked innocently. I disagreed. "No. I prepared to walk too," I told him. "It is just I am wondering why you are happy while walking. Usually, billionaires like you never walk outside like this." I added. "I will just use my car if it is far or important, as long as it is near, and I can walk I don’t use my car." he explained. If it’s important? I am touched by his words. He used his car because I was important that day. The hospital is nearby, but he still used it? Woah. I appreciated his effort. No one ever did that to me, aside from those two, of course. "Thank you." I said my gratitude. He looked at me, confused. "Huh? Welcome?" He answered, not sure of his answer. "Did
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 21
Traizle This place is too familiar. It's been years since we left this place, so why am I here again? Did I ever go here with my eyes closed? Did I ever walk here while sleeping? Sleepwalking? Isn't it? Where are Lyndon and Layzen? "Traizle! Layzen is very sick, let's go to the hospital!" Lyndon—no, a young Lyndon appeared. I was about to answer him when my younger self approached Lyndon. I can see my younger self. Can they see me too? Am I dreaming of our past... again? "Where are Mom and Dad?" The younger version of me asked the young Lyndon. "Dad left with bags in him. Mom's gone wild inside of their room. I don't know what to do." The young Lyndon answered, almost crying but keeping himself from crying and being strong. I followed them as they entered the house, our old house. Mom is still inside the house, screaming and breaking the glasses inside while crying. The two went to see Layzen, who was burning up with a fever. They don't know what to do with Layzen. They a

Traizle I went to the sales department and asked for the monthly evaluation. I need to check them myself, to lessen Zarsuelo's work. Heading back to our room, I saw him approaching me. "I told you to rest, didn't I?" He asked. "I am okay now. I still must work.” I answered as we continued our walking pace. "Where and what did you do?" He asked again to get the paper I was holding. "Sales department," I answered. "And you? Where are you going?" I asked him back. He immediately smiles. "I wanted to check if you were resting, but since you are saying you are okay now, I will start to pester you." He answered. Showing him my fist. "Not me, Zarsuelo." I told him. "Can I hug you—I am asking for your permission and look at your glaring eyes already." he said, keeping a distance from me. "If somebody hears you, we will be both in the center of talk for a week or month." I told him, also warning him with the circumstances that may happened. He shrugs it off. "I don't care,"

Traizle "Do you guys have an appointment?" Tyler asked, eating his junk food early in the morning. "None, why?" I asked back. Why would he ask about that? Right? Tyler pointed his finger on the outside. Following the direction of his finger, I can see Mr. Andrade outside. Mr. Andrade? What is he doing here? I stood up from my chair. "Shit!" I exclaimed. "I need to go, stop him for a second for me." I told Tyler before running upstairs. I headed to Zarsuelo's office. Entering his office, he is busy munching chocolates again, the plastic wrapper was on his table and he himself is not ready. "Zarsuelo, Mr. Andrade is here." I told him. "And why is he here?" Zarsuelo stopped eating his sweets and looked confused at me. "Stand up," I command. Thankfully, he is cooperating without any hesitations. "May I see your teeth?" I told him. He quickly smiled widely. "Ahh." Zarsuelo said after opening his mouth. I checked his face, removing the chocolate crumbs near his lips and c

Traizle "Oh my gosh! I am sorry, Traizle!" Eva worriedly said. A cup of coffee spilled on my shirt and yes, I am wearing a white shirt. How lucky I am. "No, it's okay. Don't worry." I told Eva while lifting my shirt a little because of the heat. "Are you okay?" Zarsuelo asked worriedly. "I am okay," I answered. "I am sorry for the coffee, are you going to drink it?" I asked Zarsuelo. "I planned to." He answered seriously. "We should check it downstairs, Traizle. It is hot, you might have some burns on your body." Eva suggested. "No need, Eva. I am good, I just need to change my shirt." I told Eva, calming her down. After calming down and making sure that I was okay, Eva was not that worried anymore and smiled at me before she headed back to the cafeteria. It's hot. I hope it does not burn my skin. "Do you have any spare shirt?" Zarsuelo asked while wiping the smeared coffee off my arms and face. "I don't have it," I answered. "I will go out and buy one." I added, abou

Traizle "I see. Thank you for calling me, Zac." I answered. Zac called me. He fetched Layzen from his school and he was with him already. "Is it okay if we go out for a while?" Zac asked on the other line. "Yes, of course. If you are not busy, you guys can." I answered. Layzen must be happy if they are going out even for a while. Staying alone in our house would be a boring day for him. "I am not. We will play for an hour before going home," Zac added. "Also, I don't have to rush the comics since I sent one already." he continued. He was a reliable babysitter. "Just be careful on your way, thank you." I replied. "No worries, it's my job to do this too," Laughing, Zac responded. "Sorry for disturbing you, we will go now. Layzen, do you have anything to say to your sister?" I heard him ask Layzen. "Tell her I will be a good boy and I love her!" I heard Layzen shouting from the other line. "You heard him, right?" Zac asked me, laughing at what Layzen had said. Layzen m

Layzen "Look! Look! The camel looks cool!" "What is cool about camels? You won't be able to see them in person anyway." "Where can we find a camel, then? I want to see one. I wanted to see how big and cool it is in person." "You can see them in a zoo." "Brother Layzen!" Thalia called my name. "Yes?" I asked. I think I have not heard anything since a while ago. "Can we go to the zoo and see a camel?" Thalia asked. "There are no camels in the zoo here. You can see them mostly in Egypt, Mongolia, and China." I told her. "Can we ask Uncle Gio to drive us to Egypt?" Thalia asked again. "So that we can see the camel in person." she added. "I think it is far from here, Thalia." Little Matthew said. "We can't go there?" Thalia asked sadly. "Sorry, Thalia. When your parents get home, you can ask about it." I told her. When will they come? I became a nanny after six years. "Everyone! I am home!" we heard Lyndon shouting from the living room. "I am going to take care of three kids
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 79: FINALE
Traizle "Dad, do I look okay in this dress? I do not think I suit this kind of dress. It is so uncomfortable." I told my dad, almost complaining about the dress I was wearing. I am wearing a casual dress but itching to change to a comfortable one. But I cannot do that. "We need to wear a formal one when you are meeting your boyfriend's family," Dad explained. "This is the first time we will meet each other's families. Just wait for a few hours before you can change." We will be seeing Matthew's grandparents tonight. Matthew just told us yesterday that his grandparents would come here tonight for a small gathering. We will introduce our family properly. "They bought that for you. That is why you cannot say no to it, right?" Dad asked again. I nodded. This is one of the gifts I received from his grandparents before. Although they are pretty, they are not for me to wear. Looking at the price tag before wearing it, it felt like I might be a hostage if I went out with this dress I wa
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 78
Matthew After the conference, we headed to their house as fast as possible. No one speaks while we are inside the car. We fell silent as if we were in a silent war. "This is killing me," I told them. "I am very sorry, guys, but it is too quiet. I am dying of silence. Why are we silent anyway?" I asked them. "You guys are quiet, too, so I thought I should keep my mouth shut." Archane commented. "Me too." Lyndon added. "I am hungry. That is why I am quiet." Layzen said. We can't help but laugh at his answer. "Why did you stay quiet if you were already hungry?" Dad Albert asked while driving. "You are not talking. As a grown-up, I should stay quiet, too." he answered. "I thought you'd act your age?" Then Traizle said, this time to Layzen. "It depends on my mood and my outfit," Layzen answered as he fixed the buttons on his sleeves. "I thought I should act like one because I am wearing a formal suit." Layzen added. Of all the children I encountered, I liked Layzen the most. He is

Matthew As time passed by, day by day, my amazement at her became an interest, and I ended up liking her. How can I not like her? She is gorgeous as hell. She is so family-oriented, a good cook, and can work well. She is a sexy person who can't even say sweet things- but that is how she lives, and I still like her after that. I was able to learn about her life with her brother, Lyndon. I can't ask her about this matter; she is too off. Although Lyndon tells me some stories about them, he still does not tell me the stories that are too sensitive, and I MUST respect that. At first, I thought girls were all the same. I can make them come to me because I am rich, but that can't compare to her. I even offered her that I could give her a bunch of money. What did I receive from her? Her two middle fingers with her mad face. I also wanted to make her fall in love with me right away. I did not know that it was tough to get her attention. Anyway, all that matters today is that I am hers, a
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 76
Matthew Following that day, I requested the assistance of my relatives, specifically my grandparents, as suggested by the woman I met. I told them the whole story. I thought they couldn't help me because they were already old. What can they do? My parents are both stronger than them. I did not know that they could still control my parents. They even gave a long lecture that I did not imagine at all. Mom and Dad started to work for themselves after that, reluctantly, and I stayed at my grandparents' house. After a few months, my mom called me to attend a meeting about their new investor. They forced me to go with them to check if the investor would help them make their company progress. Nana and Pops did not allow me to go there, so I told them I would read it if they had the documents already. After an hour, I got a call from my Dad. They told me that they got involved in an accident. Dead on arrival. The reason why they got into that accident is because of the company issue. Mom

Flashback. Matthew "Can't I go and rest for once?" I asked my parents. Mom turned to me as if I had said something terrible. "Who will manage the company if you rest? You can rest later in the evening." she answered unbothered. Who will manage the company if I rest? I don't even own the company. They made that company themselves, and why am I getting involved? "Why are you guys even here if no one will manage this?" I started to ask. "Why did you even build this company if you guys are not going to take care of it?" "Watch your word, Matthew!" Mom screamed. I sighed. "Mom, I am still in college. I should focus more on studying, not on your business." I retorted. "Studying? When all you do is play your mobile games and eat sweets? Where is the focus of your studying?" Mom answered back. I can't believe this. "Yeah, I play mobile games and eat sweets. You don't know why?" I asked. "It's the only thing I can do since I am here. Aside from reading your papers, looking at the scre

Flashback. Matthew "Why are you staring at your money, Auntie? Instead of staring at it blankly, you should invest in Z company. I can guarantee you that they will make your money double." I told my Auntie. She was busy counting her money beside me. We had our family reunion. Everyone was talking and catching up to one another, asking some things they didn't even need to know were being asked in this gathering, and she was busy looking at her money. She glanced at me. "How can you say that Z company will double my money, did your parents invest in that company?" Auntie asked. I shake my head. "No. I read one of their magazines, and they explained how they process things. It is just my opinion, though. You don't have to do it if you are unsure about it," I answered. "I'm pretty interested in investment, and I've watched a lot." I added to add more credibility. She sighed and started to keep her money in her wallet. "I need money. Your Uncle has been gambling nonstop, and I must pa

Traizle "Here is your food." Matthew said as he put my food in front of me. "Where are your daily sweets?" I asked. "You are not going to eat today?" He shakes his head. "No, I will not eat it now." He answered. Does he mean that he will stop eating sweets now? "Why?" I asked. "Can you stop eating your sweets?" He went quiet. Contemplating whether he can stop eating his sweets. "I guess I can." he answered. A while ago, he fetched me from our house. He even opened the car door for me before and after I rode in his car. Why does he act like someone he is not? "Will you find new investors for our new project?" I asked. Matthew says we got a good proposal a while ago, and the project is in process. "Honestly, if the potential investors don't invest in our new projects, I can personally invest in them. But," he paused. "Since they know that it is our new project, I doubt they won't invest in it." Well, he is right. Investors would invest in our project since they know it is unde

Matthew "What? They went back?" I asked. "Yes, the night they abducted Traizle, they fled out of this city. When my team went there in advance to the area we located, we reviewed the CCTV and saw them leaving the city." The investigator explained. "We should head as well. I don't think it is safer for Traizle if we don't do anything as of these hours. Those people who abducted her can hurt her." I told them. Her mother had done an unbelievable thing already. What's more, they can do? I hope they won't hurt her. I should not have left her last night. I was too reckless and only thought about our date. We, together with my employees, headed back to our city. I immediately went to Traizle's family to tell them the updates. "I cannot believe that her mother can do it to her daughter because of money?" Dad Albert expressed his disappointment. "She has let go of us since then. It is no wonder why she can do that to Traizle." Lyndon said worryingly. "We should save Traizle now, and sh
