The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 9
Traizle "When will you pay for the house rent? You are still not paying for the water and electricity bill for this month." said Amelia, the property owner of our house. "I am sorry about that, but I can promise that I will pay next week." I answered, almost pleading to let me pay next week. "But you should pay everything, are we clear?" The property owner asked. She nodded. "Yes, thank you." I said as I bowed, to express my gratitude. We were too short in money this month. My last wage paid for our last rent. I even paid half of our electric and water bills for last month. I must keep money with me for Lyndon and Layzen's allowance. I started to ride on my old motorcycle. I went home to get the motorcycle, but the proprietor saw me and asked for the payment immediately. After a few minutes of traveling, I reached the snack bar. "Traizle, you have a delivery. Kelvin went out for a delivery too, minutes ago." the owner of the snack bar said. "Right away!" I responded as so

Traizle "It was because you are an oddball," I answered back. "Who knows, you might just want to trick me and when the time comes, I will accept your offer and give up on my other sidelines. You will tell me you did not offer something like that." I added truthfully. He laughed at me. "You are thinking in advance, aren't you?" Said Zarsuelo. "If you want me to prove that I will not trick you afterward, I can bring the contract and let you have witnesses like an attorney or lawyer." he added. He is serious about me working for him. Do I really deserve that offer? "No need," I replied. "I will work for you if you promise to pay me in advance." I continued. His eyes widened. "Give your salaries in advance? No problem! How much do you want?" He answered excitedly. "Let me think about it." I answered. "Why did you change your mind now?" Zarsuelo asked, still excited about the news that I would be working with him soon. I looked down and sighed. "I am in need of money." I answe

Traizle I stopped walking in front of the building. "You can do it, Traizle." I told myself, shrugging off the nervousness I was feeling. I started to walk to the building. Entering the entrance kills me already. "Good morning, Ma'am." A man greeted me. "Ah, good morning?" I answered, not sure what to say after. Looking at him from head to toe, he is wearing casual clothes. He is also standing beside the entrance. Did the guard ask him to stand by for him for a while? "Excuse me," I told him. "Can you tell me where Zarsuelo's office is?" I asked. "I will guide you to his office. Please follow me." The man answered and led the way. I am in Zarsuelo's company today. Since I told him, I would work for him. After a week of resting, I decided to start working. He already gave me my first monthly salary, and with that salary, I was able to fully pay our house rent, as well as our electric and water bills. About the man I bumped my motorcycle into, I was called to the police sta

Traizle As soon as they couldn't see Zarsuelo, my seatmates approached me. "Hi, I am Claire! I am the one who talked to you when we ate at the snack bar," she introduced herself. "Our boss really went with you." she added, laughing. "Why?" I asked. “When he sets his eyes on someone, he will ask them to work for him. He can also double your last salary just to work for him." Claire answered. "We guessed he gave you trouble, didn't he?" said the girl next to Claire. "I am Sonia, by the way." she added. I sighed. I guess I didn’t experience this with him alone. "He really is," I replied. "Did he also do this to you?" I asked back. They nodded. "Some of us went the same way as you did." they answered. "Oho, stop talking for now," Zarsuelo interrupted. "Here, learn this for now. I will call you if I need anything, okay?" He added, giving me the folders. "Got it," I answered. "Go back to your office now and do some work." I added. "Done with them already." he replied in a s

Traizle "If our sales are low, would commercials and giving out some flyers be a good strategy for now?" I suggested—almost interrupting their own meeting. Yeah, own. Zarsuelo instructed me to see first so that I would know how the meeting went and could follow up next time. "You somehow got a point. It's been years since we did a commercial." Aeron coincides with my suggestion, the marketing manager of Grand Finance. "About giving out flyers, I can manage that one. I know some people who are good at that work. We can also gain new customers with those strategies I have mentioned." I added, to make it more credible. Aeron smiled at me. "We will take account of that one," he replied. "That is the end of my report for today." Aeron added. "Okay, since it is not alarming. We can still think of any ideas on how to gain new customers. Well, I can say that we are still doing good. Losing one percent does not affect me at all," Zarsuelo said, standing up from his seat. "I will be
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 14
Traizle After lunch, Zarsuelo went to the meeting room to get himself ready for the incoming investor. I went to the Sales Department and got the Sales Plan. We will show and discuss this plan with the investor. After the meeting with the investor, we successfully won over the investor, and we will start our plan next week. I also think that he can really win over every investor or possible customer with his speaking skills. Look how I ended up working here. His choice of words will literally persuade you. "Mr. Andrade asked for your name a while ago," Zarsuelo said, and that halted me from reading the files. "He said he may have seen you somewhere." he continued. I looked at him confused. "And why would he ask for my name?" I asked, somewhat curious as to why he asked for my name. "He told me you are pretty in person." said Zarsuelo, playing with his pen. I talked to Mr. Andrade on the phone before to set a meeting date. He also told me that my voice is pretty. I laughed a

Traizle "It's been a month since you visited the restaurant, Traizle." Linda said, sulking a little. It has been a month since I started working at Grand Finance as Zarsuelo's secretary. "I am sorry about that. I have been busy with my work." I answered, apologizing to them. We, Kim, Linda, and I, decided to hang out today. It is also my day off, so I can hang out with them. It is also Sunday. Lyndon can take care of Layzen while I am gone. "Everyone is missing you in the restaurant, even the manager is asking for you." Linda said. "How's work in the restaurant?" I asked. "The usual." they answered. "No bad things happened, and we are thankful for that." Kim added. "If it happens again, we will be doomed. You are not working in the restaurant anymore. We must deal with them even if we are frightened.” Linda continued. I grinned at them. "You can just tell me you missed me too much. You guys are babbling too much." I told them. I can't help but to laugh at their acting s

Traizle "We should do this again next time." Linda said and gave me a hug. I hugged her back tightly. "I would love to. I am happy you accepted my invitation." I answered and turned to Kim to hug her as well. "If we are not busy, let's hang out again. Let's catch up with our stories next time." Kim added. We bade our goodbyes to each other after an hour of talking. I started walking around, taking in the nightlife of the city. I remembered my old days of riding my old motorcycle, delivering some orders. Ahh, my old motorcycle is at the junk shop already. Lyndon told me to throw it or else he would chop it into pieces. Layzen even kicked the old motorcycle because of the injury I got from it. I bought some food for them to munch later. I will also meet Layzen's babysitter tomorrow. We decided to find someone who could babysit him so that Lyndon could do the things he wanted to do. Freely and worry-free. As I enter the gate of our house, I can already hear some loud noises co

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
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 77
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
