BILLIONAIRE'S BETRAYAL

Arrogant Boss

Just like the usual time, Hunt woke up at six thirty in the morning. Preparing himself by taking a bath, changing into his formal clothes and making breakfast for himself.

He might have his men to assist him with his orders but in terms of his personal needs... He's independent. He will do it on his own. Cooking? It's just a piece of cake for him. Cleanliness? He's not a messy kind of man and places his things in order.

He's alone in his condo unit. No maid. He prefers it that way to preserve the money that should be used for servants to other errands. Lastly, he doesn't like noisy environments.

He used to live by himself. Since eighteen, he learned to be independent and conduct business on his own.

Well, when he's still a teenager... He invests in big and well profit companies. Making sure to not disappoint his efforts and savings. He benefited from that and gained more than triple the time!

"Get ready for the car, Hellion. I'm on my way down now." He informed me as he placed the plates he washed on its rack.

"Everything's ready, Sir. We'll wait downstairs." After hearing that, he cut the connection and fixed himself before leaving his house.

As planned, they went to the construction site for the new project that will be done in the province. While on his way, he used his time to read the files which he hadn't checked last night.

He's a busy person. A businessman who couldn't lose his time for a meaningless job. The kind of attitude too who helped him soar towards success!

"Let's use the helicopter, Hellion. I don't wish to waste time beneath the traffic." He commanded as he strode himself out of his condo towards the helipad.

"Got it, sir."

In a minute, they're on board going to the province.

"Sir, are we going to that girl?" Hunt might deny the fact of him being attracted to the beauty which the girl possessed, the will of meeting her in person is so powerful. Not even his mind could oppose.

Hunt viewed the city under them while his left elbow is leaning by the window as the back of his hand is supporting his chin. Looking so bored.

"I'll be gone for work and not flirting, Hellion. You must know that." Right, his arrogant side still wins.

They had arrived at the site. People who took care of the project came to welcome him and tour him around.

"As you can see, Mr. Reid. The project is going smoothly." One of the engineers stated.

"How about the durability of the materials being used?" He asked while they were walking around the place. Checking the unfinished houses of the village.

"Per as you instructed. Everything's being settled with the plan sir. There's nothing to worry about and our hired workers are doing well."

"Make sure that none among the workers will trouble the project. I don't want any failure." His voice is as fierce as ice. Showing how fearless he is towards the people he hired for the project.

Every single penny he took out from his pocket should be worth using.

Meanwhile...

"Good morning, Sir guard!" Krizzia greeted joyfully.

"You're here, Krizzia! Good morning too!" the guard is grateful to see her and greeted her equally. "Oh, you're here with your boyfriend?" and Krizzia just plays along.

Krizzia chuckled, and clung unto Zach's forearm. "Yes, Sir guard." Followed by her sweet smiles. "By the way, can we go in? We'll just sell these banana barbecues to the workers. If you want any, I can spare you one stick. hehe." She's undoubtedly making a face for the guard to let her enter.

Zach leans closer to her, "Are you sure about this, Kriz? Won't we be rebuked by the boss?" While holding a round nipa plate of the banana barbecues.

She glanced at him, "I'm used to it already. Relax." It's just her who's being wise and strategic. For the sake of money, of course!

"Hahaha, you should've told me earlier. You know me, I couldn't ignore you. Besides, you don't have any bad intentions." The guard said which made her the happiest seller in the world.

She picked one banana barbecue and handed it to the generous guard. "Here, this is for my gratitude to you Sir guard!"

The guard is glad to accept the food too. "Thank you for this, Krizzia. I'm sure the workers will love your banana barbecues!"

"I hope so!" She hoped happily. Afterwards, they went through to different departments. The workers are glad of her presence and consume most of her banana cue.

At the moment...

"Were the workers given the right salary?" Hunt asked as he looked up at a certain unfinished unit.

"Yes sir. The audit has been assisting us and your secretary also came to help us every Saturday." To Hunt, everything tackles money before the storm strikes and makes a fuss. That's why, he questioned the process of distribution of the worker's salary.

He's busy talking when...

"Pffttt! He's not my boyfriend, Mr. Carlo! You mistook us again." a lovely voice caught his attention from a distance.

It seems like he heard it somewhere before, but can't remember it well.

"Hi, Mr. Mario! Do you want some banana cue?" Hunt tilted his head to see the direction on where the voice came.

A very joyful lady came into sight.

Krizzia is having fun while distributing a banana cue to her customers. As expected, the workers missed it!

"Oh, do you want to take one again Mr. Adonis?" It was supposed to be Mr. Ben, but because the man had a perfect body figure suitable for being adonis, she preferred to call him that way.

The man just laughed at her teasing and nod after. She handed him one immediately and took the penny from him.

While she's happy with what she's doing, the workers suddenly stop and bow their heads down. Leaving Krizzia confused.

She roamed her eyes and was startled to see a man in a clean suit behind her back. She stepped back but stumbled by some rock.

She lost balance. She closed her eyes and gripped her nipa plate. Preparing to fall. Seconds later, she felt a strong arm encircling her waist and was being grabbed towards the gorgeous man's chiselled chest.

She gasped!

"Good morning Sir!" The workers were greeted in unison.

"Ahh-uhm... G-Good morning S-Sir!" She's stammering while her eyes widened at how the man gazed at her.

It creeps the hell out of her!

'Is this the boss?' 'Did I make him mad?' She thought and bit her bottom lip after.

"Uhm... t-thank you..." She stammered again! While the boss is still staring at her. She felt like being peeled by him. She can't even move because his hand is still on her waist.

Her heartbeat surpassed the normal heartbeat. She became nervous.

The man's silence is making her scared.

She laughed, awkwardly. "Sir, can you free me now?" but the man is still dazed. She swallowed hard.

Someone... save her!

"Sir, can you free my girl now?" Zach's cold voice invaded the silent ground.

Hunt blink thrice and sneeze normally as if he's not dazed by the lady's beauty.

He freed her, and the guy who asked him came beside the girl he saved just now. Grabbing her waist. It's like telling him that this man owned a beautiful lady.

"I'm sorry if we trespass your property sir, but we're just selling some snacks for the workers... We don't mean any harm." Krizzia then explained to Hunt.

Unlike earlier her breathing stabilized because Zach's with her now. "I hope you'll spare us."

Hunt couldn't help but stare at her more. But with the man beside her, it made his mood turn bad.

He smiled naughtily. "If I spare you, what will you offer in return?"

Krizzia's chinky eyes widened. Her eyelashes turned more defined. Her pinky thin lips parted as she could feel drought in her throat.

"Well if you don't have, I can simply sue you for trespassing." Hunt stated causing her to panic. Without noticing, she picked up a banana cue and gestured it to him.

Hunt seems pleased while waiting for the girl's next move. "Please sir. I can do anything, just don't sue us!"

Behind his firm face, a victorious smile appear at the back of his lips. 'What an innocent lady,' he said to himself.

It's because the lady doesn't know the words she uttered. He's no dumb, he knows what he wants and the sight of this woman under him... screaming his name in pleasure makes him aroused.

"We'll compensate you then." Zach said bravely. No trace of being scared.

Krizzia turned to Zach, worried. "We can't..."

Zach hold her hand and squeeze it. "We can, Kriz. If this man needs money in exchange for trespassing his property, we'll give it to him. You can't just utter those words easily." Seems like Zach got Hunt.

"Tell us, Sir. Are you serious about suing us?" Zach has no plans to play along the bush. He knows this type of guy very well and it might cause Krizzia to danger anytime if he just let it go that way.

"I am and I'm not interested a penny came from lowly people like you." Hunt is annoyed. Zach's presence annoyed him to the core.

He didn't mean his words, and was just testing the lady who caught his attention from the very beginning. But Zach's involvement made him to swear his tease.

"Expect an invitation from the court by tomorrow and I hope I never get to see your faces again." He said with finality and turned his back. Hellion followed immediately.

Her whole gone cold, as she began to feel nervous again. Her eyes became teary. Her emotions is too much she couldn't bear.

She pulled her hand from Zach and chase the arrogant boss. She run fast until she get to hold him at the hem of his suit.

She kneeled.

"I begged you, please spare us S-Sir. Zach has nothing to do with this. He just helped me with my little business..." now she's crying gently.

Hunt got stunned at her sudden action. Hellion moved to pull her away from him but he gestured him not to.

Hearing her little sobs did turned him a bit shallow. "Please... I begged you... I can do anything you want just let us go. I have no money to pay you, but I will do my best to satisfy your requests. I can do laundry and cleaning. P-Please... L-Let us g-go."

She's no conscious with her actions now. She just can't let this arrogant boss cause her friend to be in trouble just because of her. Zach's a graduating student, she can't just destroy his dreams.

At that rough surface, she kneels and the pain comes from the sharp and tiny stones. She hold his suit tightly, while he's towering her.

'What a lowly person you are. So easy to tame.' Hunt said at the back of his mind. He didn't expect for the girl to bite his false bait.

He took out his wallet and took his personal calling card.

"Take this. We'll discuss this matter when I'm not busy. Make sure to text and call every hour."

Krizzia could see the falling card. She let go of his suit and crawled to get it. With his response, she felt delighted somehow.

"Thank you..." She was about to express her gratitude to him, when she he's not there anymore. She's left in the middle of the sun's heat.

Zach then joined her and support her to stand up. "Why did you kneel?! Damn Krizzia! We can still resolve it without you doing it!" Zach scolded her.

She smiled at him and hugged him in return. "I'm sorry, Zach."

Zach sighed heavily. "Silly woman." He knows to himself how fragile Krizzia is. He decided to not scold her any longer. Afraid that he might make her cry more.

"Were you satisfied, Sir?" Hellion asked as they went back to the car. His business at the site is done.

He did not answer but his evil grin was telling Hellion that he is.
