We sat down on the nearby bench and rested for a while before Garren told us to eat first. We stopped in front of a food stall. The inviting smell of churros and corn dogs pervaded my nose. Garren handed me some bills. "Buy three corn dogs for us," he said. I nodded and fell in line. When it's my turn to buy, the vendor leaned to me and said something that made my jaw drop to the floor. "Your family looks lovely." I shook my head. "N-No. They are not my family, aunt. I'm that kid's nanny and that man is his father, so he's just my boss." Her forehead creased. "Really? But the way that man looks at you, it's full of love and adoration," she said and handed me my order. What the hell? How can she come up with such a ridiculous conclusion?! I smiled awkwardly and got the corn dogs. "Thank you, Aunt," I said dismissively and turned my back. I walked back to them and gave them the snacks. We eat silently while watching people pass by. I opened my phone and saw that it's already fi
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 44: SIX AND SEVENS
"Aw, it's already ending?" Greyson murmured as the ferris wheel began circling down. "Why? You want to stay there longer?" I asked. He nodded fervently. "I want to spend the rest of the night here." I chuckled. "There's still a next time." The ferris wheel eventually stopped. The door of the cabin automatically opened as we stepped out. "Did you have fun?" I asked him. He beamed widely. "I did. But I'm already sleepy. Dad, let's go home." Garren laughed. "Your energy has finally inflated, huh?" He carried his son in his arms as we walked out of the amusement park. I gave the place one last glance before I ran after them. I helped Garren get his son in the backseat. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around him, and he also turned down the AC in his car. That made me smile. He walked past me without saying anything and headed to the driver's seat, as if I'm nothing but a ghost. That made me quite confused, but I chose to brush it aside. I checked Greyson to see if he w
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 45: COLD-SHOULDERS
I shook my head and went to Greyson's room to wake him up. After he took a bath and put on his uniform, we headed downstairs. Surprisingly, his father is also standing at the end of the stairs. He's carrying a suitcase in his left hand.. His hair is disheveled, and he looks exhausted with his dead eyes. "Dad!" Greyson sprinted downstairs to meet his father. Garren discarded the look of enervation in his face and put on an energetic expression. He welcomed his son into his arms. "Did you miss me?" The latter nodded fervently. "I do! It's been almost a week since you've been gone. You said you'd only be away for four days," he sulked. I just stood behind Greyson while watching them. "Sorry, buddy. Something came up, so I had to extend my work days." "I understand, dad. You look tired. You should get some rest now." He chuckled. "I could still run a mile, buddy. I'll just change my clothes and drive you to school." "Are you sure?" "Definitely. Now go eat your breakfast." With
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 46: FIX TO BREAK
When the night fell, all of us gathered at the kitchen table for dinner. While I'm spooning mashed potatoes as a side dish for Greyson's plate, Garren suddenly spoke. "He doesn't like potatoes." I took back the spoonful of potatoes and apologized, "Sorry, sir. I didn't know." "You've been here for more than three months now. You should be familiar with all his likes and dislikes." He said that calmly, but I felt like he humiliated me with the tone of his voice. What's wrong with him?! "Dad, it's fine. I haven't told Cleo yet that I don't like potatoes. You don't have to be mean to her." I internally grinned. I'm glad that I have Greyson on my side. Garren laughed snidely. "I wasn't being mean. I was just reminding her." What a liar. After dinner, I accompanied Greyson to his room. While I'm heading downstairs after I tucked him to sleep, I come across Aunt Esther, who's carrying a cup of coffee. "Who's that for, Aunt?" I asked, though I already have an idea. "It's for Ga
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 47: CHANGES
Cynthia nudged me when Garren left. "What was that?" "What?" I scowled. "You didn't even look at each other. Are you still in quarrel with him?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe? But I don't care anymore. He can snub me for all I care." That's right. I should fulfill the words I affirmed last night. I almost bleared the boundary between us and crossed it, it's time to clear that line. "Hmmm.... this is interesting." I ignored her and walked towards the kitchen, where I found Greyson and his father sitting on the table. Aunt Cora and Aunt Esther are there too. The breakfast was silent and awkward as hell... or at least for me. The kitchen is spacious, yet I feel like I'm moving through a narrow room and walking on a floor scattered with shattered pieces of glass. It's flabbergasting to think that I suddenly went back to that time when Garren's presence terrified me. The same thing happened during the ride through Greyson's school. I didn't throw Garren a glance or speak to h
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 48: RED-HANDED
"You have to visit here again some other time! You haven't fulfilled your promise to me." I chuckled at Erick's remark as he accompanied me outside the Obsidian. It's Sunday, which means I have no work, so I decided to pay them a visit. I want to do this for a very long time because I kinda miss the exuberant settings of my past job. And I miss my friends here. Erick was surprised when I showed up earlier. He sulked at me because I've been gone for three months, and I felt really guilty. So to make up for it, I told him that I'd treat him anywhere he wants next time if he's not on duty. We talked about the recent events in our life. Erick told me that he's going back to college next school year. His parents finally found a job, so he does not need to work full time. That made me genuinely delighted for him. He have sacrificed a lot for his family. It's his time to chase after his dreams. Needless to say, I wasn't able to escape his interrogation. I chose to tell him everything
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 49: TICKING HER OFF
"What the hell are you two doing here?" A rush of fear washed over my system when I saw the lethal look in Garren's eyes. "We coincidentally bumped into each other, and she helped me with something," Enzo explained, still smiling. I can't say the same thing with this man behind me, though. He's looking at him as if he's the most insipid and deplorable person in existence. Garren didn't reply to him and instead glanced to me. "Let's go. Greyson is waiting outside. I turned to Enzo. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. It's nice to see you again, Enzo." He beamed heartily. "No problem." He pulled something from his pocket. It's a piece of paper and a pen. He handed those to me. "May I ask your number? I really want to reciprocate the favor that you gave me today. Perhaps we can grab some coffee someday." "You actually don't-" "I insist," he cut me off before I could finish my sentence. I heaved out a sigh. I had no choice but to quickly write my number. I was almost done when some
The Billionaire's Oasis CHAPTER 50: COVETOUS
The day after the unforeseen encounter that we had in the mall, I received a message from an unknown number. And I'm not lying when I say that I almost threw my phone when he introduced himself as Lorenzo. I didn't believe it at first. But when he called me, that's when I was able to confirm that it was indeed him. I asked him how he was able to find me, and he said that he was able to unravel the last two digits of my number despite them being scribbled when Garren yanked me forcefully. "I'm an aspiring doctor. I can read even the nastiest penmanship." That's what he said. He reiterated that he's dead serious when he said that he wanted to treat me as a token of appreciation for my help. Hence he looked for me. And now, he won't stop bugging me. I kept on telling him not to stress over it, but Lorenzo is stubborn as a mule. But I wouldn't deny it, I enjoy talking to him. Lorenzo is hilarious in the most stupid way. I pressed the answer button and put the phone on speaker.
