Semua Bab The Billionairess's Reckoning : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chris' POVI watched as Zack said goodbye to the two of us before leaving happily.What is so interesting about the envelope that made him excited? I should have taken a look at it. Knowing Zack, he isn't one to get happy so easily.Either way, it's none of my business. I've had enough entertainment for the night, so I should leave and attend to my business.As I turned to leave, a hand grabbed me by the shoulder, and I turned to find Mr. Alfred watching me with squinted eyes. All manner of familiarity and kindness that he had when speaking with Zack now gone, replaced by suspicious eyes staring down at me. It was as if he finally found the thief stealing from his pot of joy."What the...""Why is it that whenever you are around, some sort of trouble happens around Zack? Last time you were around, your customer found it convenient to spill their food right by the table just as Zack was passing by." he interrupted me before I could finish my sentence."What do you mean by that?" I shru

Third person POVAlice appeared in front of Rose's place dressed up a white summer dress to go with pink loafers, a pink Terry wave bucket hat and a pink purse.Without wasting time to knock, Alice input the code and entered the place, going straight to Rose's bedroom, expecting to find Rose deep in sleep only to find her sitting on her bed with one knee propped up and watching the view of the city her ceiling to floor window provided."Rose, I've been calling you on the phone. Why weren't you picking? And why do you look like your puppy died?" Alice asked, concerned."Do you think I should get a puppy?" Rose said, not bothering to turn away from the window. "Or maybe a cat? What brings you so early in the morning anyway?""I completely forgot to tell you yesterday," Alice brought out the tickets from her purse and handed them to Rose who turned to look at her for the first time since she came into the room."You going to a party?" Rose said before looking at the tickets and her eyebr

"Hey, why don't you let go of this lady right here," Zack cut straight to the chase. "It doesn't look like she wants to be in your company right now. Right?" Zack looked at Rose, waiting for her to say something, but she just looked at him weirdly."Huh," Jacob snorted. "And who are you?" he said voicing out his hostility, his face no longer expressing kindness. "I believe this is none of your business. So why don't you mind your business and just let us be? The lady and I are just having a date."Zack looked at Jacob who didn't seem ready to let go, then at Rose who now had a smirk on her face, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Just watching the show that was no longer about her and waiting to see how it will unfold.'You chose to interfere. Let's see how you go through with it'. Her eyes spoke."Come on man, let's not do this," Zack placed his hand on the man's shoulder before leaning right next to his ear and whispering. "I saw when and what you slipped into that drink. If I'm lyin

Third person POV.As the two had breakfast and on their way to the duty free shopping on jewelry, clothing and souvenirs, Rose kept looking around hoping she would catch a glimpse of him amongst the people that were passing by them."What do you think of this one?" Alice appeared in front of her, distracting her from her thoughts.Rose was seated on a bench at the back of the clothing store where the dressing rooms were located. She looked at Alice who was now wearing a t-shirt with 'I've discovered a new me' written on the it, paired with a black flowy skirt, a black tote bag slung on her shoulder."The skirt looks nice, but the shirt is a bit cringe," Rose commented on the outfit."I totally like it because of the writing. I'm going to get this," Alice decided, tracing the pattern on her new shirt. "What about you?" she looked at Rose. "You should get something for yourself. How about a new hat?" she suggested."Nah, I think I will prefer some jewelry. Probably a bracelet," Rose sto

*A week later and Rose was finally done registering her new courses.It was a hard decision for Rose but it was necessary.But after Nana passed away only Rose was the direct heir to the Gabrielle Enterprises, and if she doesn't step up and take over, who will?Mr. Montreal apparently. And not just him, even the maids had their little plan to take over the house while Rose was mourning the lost of her grandparents.It's kind of funny how everyone appears so loyal until that very day when your weakness shows and the chameleons start to show their real color.Rose walked into the the business and finance department with her bag strapped over her left shoulder and her time table on her right hand unsure, of which floor or direction class BSC 7 would be.She watched the other students as they scurried to get to their respective classes as it was only a few minutes to 8am.And that was when Rose spotted her. Unlike the other students that rushed, Alice was seemingly taking something from h
