BLSC #12 : Billionaire's Trouble

Chapter 24 - Problem

Scarlette Thompson

I tiptoed out from the room and looked to the left and to the right. There's no Matthew ass to the hole Lemiere. I walked slowly outside holding my alcohol bottle tightly. Johnny texted me earlier to come to his place.

"Where do you think you're going?" I jumped and sighed.

"Going outside.. to-" My eyes widen to see Matthew soaking wet. He was working out and his sweats are everywhere. Oh my gosh.. I can't breath.

"To what?" He raised his eyebrows.

"To get a fresh air.." I said and looked down to the ground. Suddenly he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the balcony.

"Take your fresh air here." He said.

"But I.. You.. I need to go."

"To meet Johnny girl?"

"He's a man, Mr. Lemiere." I said with annoying eyes and he looked at me flatly.

"I don't care.." He said and then he left me alone at the balcony. I hissed and stompped my feet annoyingly. I walked back in and ran towards the exit door. I turned the door knob but it's lock. I cursed under my breath and suddenly my phone rang.

I picked it up since it's Johnny.

"Where are you?"

"Going there okay? Just wait for me 20 minutes."

"Okay." He ended the call and I turned my body. I jumped in shock to see Matthew right behind me.

"You scared me." I closed my eyes.

"You said you're old fashion. Why the sudden change?" He asked and I opened my eyes. My breath got hitch when he leaned closer to me.

"You told me that this is.. mo- mode- modern era so.. uhmm.. I think you're right." I said suttering without any reason.

"I like the old fashion now.." He said and I looked at him disbelief. What's with this man?

"Mr. Lemiere.. can I go? I need to see my friend." I asked and he smiled.

"Can I? Can you open-"

"No." He answered shortly and left. He walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. He turned on the TV.

"Mr. Lemiere, I'm staying at my friend's place." I said walking towards him. He gestured me to sit beside him but I sat on the edge of the sofa far away from him.

"Mr. Lemiere, I'm not a prisoner. I have the rights to-"

"How about make a deal here?" He said as he shut the TV off.

"What deal?"

"Go out from that door, you're fired. You stay here.. You still have your job." He smirked and I looked at him disbelief.

"Mr. Lemiere.. I'm your employee not your girlfriend or some lover. Besides work is work and-"

"Do I look like I care?" He gestured his face and I sighed.

"I need to meet my friend, Mr. Lemiere." I said and his eyes turned cold. He glared at me hard. I gulped nervously. He moved closer to me.

"Say that again.. You'll fired."

"I need to meet my friend, Mr. Lemiere. Fine.. If you wanted to fired me. Can you open the door for me now?" I asked because I'm starting to get piss with my own boss.

Suddenly his phone rang..

"Mr. Lemiere.. Your pho-" He leaned so close to me and my breath got hitch crazily.

"Your phone.. Mr. Lemie-" He cut me by crashing his lips to mine. My eyes widen and he slipped his hand to my jaw pulling me closer to him. I found myself drowning and melting.

Suddenly he stopped and picked up the call.

"What?" He said as he answered the phone.

"What do you mean by that? What!!" Matthew turned to me with his eyes widen.

"Okay.. I'm going there." He ended the call.

"Kevin.. he.. commit suicided." My eyes widen.

"What? Why?"

"I think he's killed." I covered my mouth with my hands.

"Someone killed him? Why? For what?"

"You know his dad's is an evil man."

"I know bu-"

"We have to go.. put that wine glass and talk about what happen earlier later." He mentioned and I felt my body heat up.

"Put it down.. don't you even dare to go to that girl and sleep with her!"

"Johnny is a man!" I hissed and he sighed.

"Let's just go." He said gesturing me to go. I was still in a shock mode. I put the wine down and followed him out from the apartment. I walked behind him and got into the lift. I stood at the corner trying to avoid him.

"It's just a kiss.. no need to over exaggerate." He said and I smacked my head for it. I'm such a fool.

"Are you really planning to sleep with Johnny?" He turned to me and I looked at him with my eyes widen.

"No.. I was just fooling you." I said and that's the truth. He fooled me and I wanted to fool him back. I never thought it will work. He looked at me disbelief and sighed.

"Good."

"What's good?" I asked.

"Unbelievable." He sighed and we walked out from the lift. We walked to his car and got in. I shut my mouth and suddenly the kiss replayed in my head again. Suddenly I remembered that he screamed earlier.

"Oh.. uhmm.. Mr. Lemiere.. Are you okay?"

"What do you mean by that?" He asked as he drove out from the building.

"You screamed a lot earlier.. Are you okay?"

"Do you think I'm okay?" He asked back.

"I don't know that's why I'm asking."

"Well.. I'm not okay."

"Why? Work?" I asked.

"No.."

"Well I hope you can handle it."

"I can't."

"Do you want me to help?"

"You will make it worse." He hissed and I pouted.

"I'm just offering some help.."

"Why would you help when you're the problem?" He hissed.. well.. oh shit!
