BILLIONAIRE'S BETRAYAL

A bad influenced brother

"No, he didn't." That makes me feel relieved. I'm glad that Mr. Reid listened to my request.

"Can I see him?"

"Are you sure?" She looks worried.

"I do, Mrs. Reid." I assured her and she just nod at me in response. As she gestures the way for me and accompanies me to his room. But, Mrs. Reid's face got me. I just can't leave her sad.

"Mrs. Reid, don't be sad anymore. I am okay now. There's nothing to worry about. I'll promise, what happened today will not happen again." everyone will be worried the same as she does. No one would like to wish when their workers would get into trouble especially if their family caused it.

"I'm sorry, I just can't help but worry about you." To be honest, I really like her. She's so kind and genuine to me. She treated me like her own daughter. Even if she won't tell me that, I can feel it through her actions. The same as mama. Now that I remembered her, I want to go home and hug her as well.

"Don't be, I'll alert myself next time" I said and knock at the door.

"Brent, teacher is here" Mrs. Reid informed her son by the door. She then looked at me and asked, "I'll accompany you inside"

I shook my head disagreeing with her statement. "It's okay, I can handle him. I don't think he's the kind of kid who will bend his promises" I can still remember his promises earlier.

"Okay, we'll wait for you downstairs. Do you want some juice? Snacks? I can ask Lenny for it and serve you some." Sometimes, treatment with too much kindness will make you feel conscious of yourself and somehow, feel ashamed.

When Mrs Reid was out of my sight, I took a deep breath first before knocking at Brent's bedroom door. "Brent, I will come inside, okay?" I informed, him not to be shocked and named me as an intruder when he saw me inside his room.

He's not answering.

I slowly turned the door knob open and it's not locked!

"But brother, my teacher was so kind to me!" His high pitch voice welcomes me.

I prefer myself to be silent and stay near the door. Even if I'm at a distance, I can still hear him talking to someone. Afraid to distract them.

"Look, girls are evil. They will make us believe that they are kind and lovable." I gasped in surprised.

"Brother, I think I can no longer do it." Brent sounded miserable at what he heard from his brother. Damn, is he really a brother to his younger brother? Gosh, I want to see that man and slap him hard! So, all this time... he was the reason behind Brent's bad manners towards me? I grit my teeth in disappointment.

"No, No, No kiddo. Listen to me, girls are a witch. They will make us believe in their false identity and hurt us afterwards. No girls are kind. Keep that in your mind." The nerve of this man!

No, I can no longer listen to that man's schemes.

"Brother my teacher was really ki--" I hem on purpose which made my student notice me.

He looks like a thief being caught and hid his iPad behind him. "Teacher!" he exclaimed. Looking tense of my sudden appearance.

"Uhm, a-are you there for a long time?" Instead of answering her, I gestured my hand to him. "Uh... do you need a-anything?" I showed him my disappointed look. He panicked.

I did not answer and waited for him to hand his iPad to me.

But he did not do it.

I sneezed before speaking. "May I know who you are talking to, Brent?" My voice is calm, yet he still looks bothered. "And please don't hide it from me because I heard what you two had talked about." I'm really disappointed.

"I-it was none of your business teacher!" now he shouts at me. Annoyed. His nose and ears turned red.

"I don't want to be mad at you, Brent. So I will not force you to hand it to me." I walked closer to him. "But I'm really disappointed with your brother. You heard it there, Sir?"

Brent stilled as his eyes grew wide. Lips parted, followed by his hard swallows. "If you hate us girls don't blame it on us like it was our fault because you were fooled. If a certain woman causes you pain, please don't drag us all. People are different. If she hurts you, then she must have a reason. Go and ask her why. Don't lecture your brother to hate us girls just because you despised our being." I tried my best to lie low in my anger and talked casually. I believe anger can't be of help if I yell at him too.

HUNT'S POV

"Teacher!" I was talking to my little brother via video call when his teacher showed up. He keeps on saying that his teacher is kind to him. Tsk! Girls are not kind and cunning. There's no way I will believe such lies of girls being kind when in the first place they are not!

"Uhm, are you there for a long time?" I am here in my office, doing nothing except talking to my little brother. I was not able to see Brent's teacher because he hid his iPad right at his back. Hiding me.

"May I know who you are talking to Brent?" The voice of my brother's tutor caught my attention. She sounds disappointed. She heard us?

"And please don't hide it from me because I heard what you two had talked about." I rub my growing whiskers at her sudden intrusion. Who cares if she heard us?

The girl's voice was genuine and calming but that won't change my perceptions. My girlfriend whom I loved for years left me a month ago. She broke me and I am now left dumbfounded without even knowing her reasons why she has to leave me. Yes, she left me and it pisses me off while thinking about the fact that she was just playing with me around. If you ask me where she is at this moment... I will definitely answer you, 'I don't know' I don't know where she is. And I have no plans to chase after her. I have my company which needs my attention and it's not my pride to beg a person who wants to leave. I just let them. I don't really care if I'm left in pain. I have my pride left, I can't lose it too.

All I know was she left me a message saying "I'll leave for good now honey, I'll be back to you after." That's it! No more explanations. With that foolish statement, our relationship ended. And it makes me mad about her being.

"If you hate us girls don't blame it on us like it was our fault because you were fooled. If a certain woman causes you pain, please don't drag us all. People are different. If she hurts you, then she must have a reason. Go and ask her why. Don't lecture your brother to hate us girls just because you despised our being." her reasoning caught me off guard. Did she just say that I'm wrong?

"So are you saying that I should spare you? Are you?" I spoke arrogantly. I'm hurt and in pain. I hate them because of that. I never do wrong and stay loyal to her... but why? I can't just get it.

I heard her chuckle. How dare he chuckle when there's nothing funny! "Sir, do you even understand me?"

I leaned my back at my swivel, licking my bottom lip. "What if I do. But I will not listen to you? Can you do something about that?"

Now she blows a long breath. "You're unbelievable..." I smirked.

"None of your business, woman. So what if I hated your kind? You're no different from others..." Yes, girls are the same. Even if they'll defend themselves as different.

"Excuse me, Sir! The way you talk to me right now, it's as if you didn't acquire something from us! It's as if you're clean and decent to accuse us! When in fact you're a beast who feels like they can buy everything they want!" She may not be here, and I'm not able to see her... I can still sense how annoyed she is. I know because of her controlling her voice.

She's judging me. As a response, I insult her back. Fair square.

"Girls deserved to be treated that way. Like you, eager to earn. Isn't it that you came into our house to take money from us?" The heck I care if I insult her, she's annoying and she's getting into my nerves too.

"Are you saying that I'm a thief?" Her voice remained calm. Making me feel entertained.

I laugh silently, this girl is fun to tease. "Did I say that you are?" I took my expensive ballpen and played with it. "Remember, you uttered it yourself." Let's see how much she can be patient with me.

She sighed. "I'm sorry, I mistook it. To let you know, I came here to work. To assist your brother with his school matters. In exchange for an income. Thus, I take my job properly." She better know her place well.

"Then?"

"You're an indecent kind of person who poisoned his own brother just because he despised women." My brows met. There I stopped playing with my pen.

"Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" I questioned.

"Teacher, please don't argue with my brother." Brent pleaded. "I'm sorry if I hurt you, teacher..." Now he's sorry. That made me feel the guilt. And this is because of her. Why can't she just shut her mouth and do her own work. Rather than minding anyone's business?

"Are you feeling guilty now, Sir? Don't you feel guilty for what you are asking your brother to do?" I'm cornered. "I'm not saying this to you because I want you to be tainted in your brother's eyes. It's because I care for him. I want him to open himself to the world again. I know it fears him, but I'm willing to support him along the way. It was the reason why I endured all the humiliation and the troubles he caused me because I was once in his situation. It was hard and lonely. Please sir, if I displease you... Please throw it directly at me. Spare the kid."

It silenced me. I can't find a word to respond, until Vincent called and interrupted my current conversation. Making it dropped and replaced.
