The Bride Of The Billionaire

"Have a seat Mr. Dench and?" Raze look at me, the same questioning look like Trivor.

"She's Ms. Celo" Trivor introduced me as he noticed that I'm not in the right state as of the moment.

"I don't want to repeat myself" Raze said and he is kind of intimidating now but the only thing I felt right now is sadness.

I'm sad because he is in front of me but he is acting like he don't know me. I'm really sad or I'm literally hurt? His voice, his serious face, and the authoritative aura reminds me the past where I can change all of it to a plain joyful one yet now... his eyes were blank like he don't know me at all. That hurts me because I'm expecting him to get mad at me.

"Celo!" I answered, pissed.

All of those months, thought I already have moved on but seeing him now... my heartbeat stays wild and still singing his name.

Why I feel like crying? Why I suddenly want to hug him and say sorry... that I still love him and missed him so much! Darn it!

"Mr. Dench are you sure that she's the best from your company?" He ask Trivor sarcastically.

"Yeah! One of the famous games today was under her project!" Trivor was proud of it and I never expected to hear it. I'm scared now, I'm scared that Raze may check that game and he won't be satisfied. I'm scared to be criticized by him and call me a bad game developer.

Shit! Where's my confidence now? I feel like my life is a game and seeing him means game over because I can do nothing against him even though I gave in myself years ago. I still lose.

Do men always win? I guess.

"I see" he just reacted and look at me like he is anticipating what's inside my head.

We're here to propose a collaboration with Texno, doing a new project with them is also a good choice since they're the number one and top developer around the world. We also need their ideas, some upgraded equipments, strategy and also to have some observations.

On the other hand, my heart keeps palpitating like I had 20 cups of coffee in just one go.

I didn't expect that he can still affect this damn severe... I feel like dying and now about to faint.

"What's wrong Ms. Celo? You looks pale!" I look other way, trying to escape from Raze's gaze because if I won't I'll abruptly out of breath.

"N-nothing Sir. May I go to the comfort room?"

"Sure! Comfort yourself!" Is he joking? Raze is crazy!

"Go sweetheart, don't hold it yourself!" Trivor added and laugh at me, I just twitched my lips before I spun around.

"Crazy!" I replied before I squinted at Raze, he is gritting his teeth? The language of his face say so.

"Venise please accompany our guest to the nearest comfort room." I heard Raze and Venise stood and bow at him like she is saying "Yes señiorito!" I walk outside the room with Venise following me. I wonder where's Tyron this time.

"Where's the CR?" I ask, I don't want to shut in silence because something is blatantly bothering inside my head.

"At floor 22, are you his...ahm-" she suddenly look hesitant. I'm sure she's pertaining about Raze and I.

"I was!" I I answer. I didn't know that saying the word 'was' can break a broken heart too, double kill.

"I see, I saw you on the news!" She replied and I choose not to answer. I don't want to know about the content of it because I know... it can make my feelings worst.

Venise lead the way as we arrived at the next lower floor after that I tell her that I can go back myself then she go back like a polite kid.

I'm not going to pee or something, I'm here now at the comfort room, facing the wide mirror. I thought I'm here to calm myself yet I'm here for a quick breakdown. I never thought that I met him here, I mean why today? I thought he's still not here because there's no new latest news about him. Why? And why I'm crying again?

Didn't I already moved on? Then why it's still painful that even a single memory stabs me at my weak part... and seeing him earlier is like my spicy nightmare. I like it how I know, I don't!

I wipe my tears and took a deep breath again and again. I have to go out or else they'll think I'm weird and suspicious. I put a powder and a lip tint on before I go out. I just compose myself again, trying to hold the beast inside me that literally in pain.

The building change a bit, it's because of the new interior design. I'm wondering why Raze go back here in Cazila. Tsk! I'm really killing myself, why I can't kick him out of my mind? I get inside the elevator with four others absent-mindedly.

"Cath?" I heard so I look sideward, I'm inside the elevator now and I saw Ranz. I didn't notice him.

"Ranz? Fudge! How are you?" I ask, suddenly, my mood brightens.

"Still a huge fan of anime. I didn't recognize your that fast, you're pretty!" He said, I gave him a quick hug.

"I missed you, how are the girls?" I ask.

"They're fine. Liza already got married months ago and we had a new team member after you left, left us with curiousity."

"I'm sorry, it's just that something was not right" I replied, I'm not really close to Liza but I'm happy for her. Fate wasn't really cruel, for her, at least.

Ranz go at the superior's office so we separate ways. I arrived at Raze's office, they're already discussing things.

"We can start working it soon but I want it to be done here at Texno. Just send here your most competent employees and you! Let's see what you've got!" He is intimidating. They're both signing a contract while I'm here checking the time and badly want to leave the place especially here at his office.

"Sign here!" Raze commanded.

"Huh?"

"I don't want to repeat!" Why he is like that? I wanna cry. I just want to know what's that about, why he have to respond that way?

I signed it.

"Thanks Mr. Coleman, it's our pleasure working with you!" Trivor said before they shook each others hand.

"Let's go!" He uttered so I hurriedly stood up and step away with Trivor.

"Ms. Celo!"

"S-sir?"

"You leave your phone!" I look at the single seater and I saw my phone there. I was rushing and even forgot my phone. Aish!

Being eager to leave ASAP is no good!

I go back while Trivor stays, waiting.
