"He asked that you, in particular, serve his table."Favio said, and my heart almost fell out. On getting out, my eyes caught sight of the billionaire.The entire chitchat was going on around his table, but he didn't seem to be interested, as his eyes never left my body, not even a blink. His eyes burned on me and it suddenly felt like my breath was seized. Vera was the one attending to his table. And it seems to be going well, so I don't think she would be needing my help.Just then, Favio walked out to address or stop the group of reporters trying to get into the bar due to his client's presence. I watched as Vera served their table with her eyes on him. Her body language says a lot. What a shameless flirt! Just then, he said something to Vera without taking his eyes off me.La Tropicana champagne was the most expensive drink in the bar. One cost about eighty thousand dollars. And about 7 bottles were on the billionaire's table. It got the attention of most people who just cam
Bella"I'm okay," I said, removing his hands from my waist. "It's just a crash, it just needs a little first aid, and I'd be…""You'd be back to serve me." I heard the billionaire's voice, and we both turned."Hey man, cut her some slack. Can't you see she's injured?" The gentleman said, but the billionaire didn't budge."Shut up Levi, it's her job." He said coldly.I narrowed my eyes at him.What the hell?Why was he being cruel? Have I offended him in the past?°°°I got the bruise treated, and was good to go back to the bar.Levi was the one who helped in treating my wound. He insisted and I just couldn't say no.While serving a table not too far from Levi and the rest, I was totally ignoring the billionaire's stare. I only smiled at Levi, who couldn't just take his eyes off me, but the billionaire on the other hand wasn't having it."Here you go sir - enjoy your drink," I said to a bald-headed man. I stood to leave, but he pulled me back, trying to get my attention. The smile on
"What's going on, Bella? - Mr. Smith? Is there a problem?"We turned our heads and saw Favio standing in front of us.I was breathing heavily and my blood was still boiling with anger after yelling at this piece of shit called Mr. Smith."That question should be directed to you, Favio." He said, now turning his gaze to Favio. "It seems your workers know pretty well how to disobey and yell at customers. Perhaps I shouldn't have come here." I frowned. "Well, if you didn't act like a jerk and allowed me choose the old…"Favio turned his gaze and gave me a murderous look. Like I had gone against his biggest rule. "Quiet!" He shut me off. "I sincerely apologize on Bella's behavior, sir. We are currently working on her behavior towards customers." Favio said to Reggie, who obviously didn't care."Bella, come with me." He took my hands to leave, but I didn't move. I took the hundred-dollar bill off my cleavage and opened my mouth to talk but Favio yelled."One more word from you and you'll
Bella "Bella! My office, now!" I jumped out of bed as my heart raced at the sound of Favio's voice.I had been avoiding him since last night and I knew he couldn't wait to scold me.I walked into his office, still in my pajamas and hair Bonet. I wasn't working till later in the evening when it's my shift and I wasn't ready to wake up anytime soon, but here we are."Before you yell, sir. I…""Save it." He cut me short and leaned on his seat while giving me a stern look.He narrowed his eyes as if he was tired of trying to make me see reasons, but my stubbornness would cost him a lot if he didn't do something."I don't wanna hear whatever you have to say, young lady. You knew Mr. Smith was an important client and you should hide that stubbornness of yours. But no, you had to blow things up."I rolled my eyes in my head."But I wasn't rude to him." I shook my head frantically. "He called me a slut. He doesn't have the right to just because he's a billionaire."Favio breathes heavily and
"Welcome Bella." He walked over to his seat in front of me. "Make yourself comfortable. Do you need anything?" He pressed the intercom. "Um… I'm okay, sir..""Levi, call me Levi." He still had that smile on his face. It still hadn't disappeared since he got in."Okay, Levi. Uh… my boss…""Yes, I asked to see you… You remember me from last night, right?" He asked softly, his expression gentle as his eyes searched mine. I nodded. Then my stomach started rumbling. He paused as his eyes fell on my stomach. I quickly placed my hands on it. As if trying to calm it down.I had skipped breakfast, and it's really embarrassing. I couldn't even bring my face up to look at the gentleman in front of me."You're hungry." His eyes narrowed and I still couldn't look up at him.I shook my head. "Nope. Just a running…"My stomach made the embarrassing sound and my heart skipped. I lowered my head even more.I looked at my stomach. 'Seriously?' He chuckled. "But your stomach is telling me otherwise."
Daniel didn't budge. He was used to me, but then he was fed up. "Why are you this angered?" "Of course I'm not. I'm just so pissed. I could rip the life out of that friend of yours." "Okay, why are you pissed? She's not your sister, you're not related, she's not even your lover. So why are you getting so worked up?" "Shut up! You know nothing, okay? If that would be all, please leave my office!" I roared. Anyone would have left, but Daniel wasn't threatened by me."I know why you are angry. You feel something for her, don't you?" He heaved a deep breath and took his seat in front of me. I narrowed my eyes as I immediately remembered giving him a job to carry out."I got her investigated." He said, as if reading my thoughts. He stretched his hand out and I collected the brown paper in his hands."Her surname wasn't found. If I didn't look closely, I'd think she's that famous business tycoon in Manhattan, but no." Daniel started, and I raised my eyes to look at him.Sure he didn't d
ReggieI walked into the place only to see her looking like she had been rough-handled. Her hair was a mess and some parts of her clothes were torn. You did the same to my dad. It's okay right I do the same to you. You don't hurt a Smith and get away with it."How long has she been like this?" I asked the person in charge."Six months now, sir. Should we continue or just get her treated?" He asked, staring at Angelica, who seemed to be talking to the doll in her hands.We couldn't go in. We just stood out. Staring at her from the outside."No. Let her remain like this. I'll get back to you if I ever change my mind." I rubbed my chin while staring at the freak in front of me."But sir…"Without sparing the man a glance, I said, "No 'buts', just do as I have said." I said. My voice void of emotions.*I arrived at the Manhattan station. I walked in with Stone by my side.Brown saw me and immediately got up from the mattress he was sitting on."Well, well, well, if it's not the prodigal
"Oh… I see. You're treating me and your unborn child this way just because of this shameless cheat?" She pouted. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I got into my office and she followed suit.I sighed, then pressed my intercom. "Get me a hot coffee," I ordered my secretary before letting out another sigh. Why did seeing both Levi and Bella bother me this much? It's not that I love or care about Bella. "After all these years! Your heart still melts whenever you see her." Alexia started faking a tear."Not now, Alexia." I waved."Seriously? I thought you weren't affected when you saw her at the bar the other day. What happened? Take it from me, the way she was enjoying Levi's company… I'm sure he had already had his way with her." She explained, rubbing her tummy."That is none of my business. We are no longer together, so she can sleep with whoever she wants." I muttered harshly. It was obvious I wasn't concerned, but what she just said got under my skin."Good to hear. Me and our
