BILLIONAIRE'S BETRAYAL

Sweet Caller

Afternoon came...

Hunt is in the middle of a meeting, but his attention is focused on his cellphone. Many did notice his absence from the report and it surprised them to see that their boss is not paying attention to the topic being discussed.

For the very first time...

Hunt Thaddeus Reid is waiting for something to receive. Unbothered with what's around him.

"What do you think, Mr Reid?" The presenter asked him after an hour of discussing in front.

Hunt did not hear anything.

He might be sitting on his swivel at the middle top of the long table comfortably, but in the eyes of his employees... he cannot avoid being suspected of doing an inappropriate act.

Yes, staring at his cellphone is an inappropriate act.

'Damn, why isn't she contacting me yet?' It's already afternoon and he left the site this noon, how come that this woman hasn't contacted him yet? Is she stupid of not understanding his instructions?

"Sir?" the presenter called him again. Still unbothered.

"Jia, can you please call the boss's attention?" Jia who sat near the boss obliged.

"Excuse me, Sir..." Jia tapped him in his knuckles, which brought him back to the situation.

He composed himself, and acted like nothing was going on with him. He stood up and picked his phone up. "Just deliver the copies of your report. I will review it later."

The people at that conference room got stunned. Did their boss just admit to them spacing out in the entire discussion?

"Okay boss." The reporter of that day just nodded in response.

"Meeting adjourned. See you next week." He didn't waste time and left the conference room first. He's not in the mood now just because the girl who he instructed earlier didn't follow his terms.

"What a disgraceful woman. Doesn't she really know how to be grateful? How cunning!" He entered his office while mumbling those words. Not knowing that Khairro was there, waiting for him.

"You okay, bro?" Khairro is his college friend. They became friends because they had the same course. They graduated together and soon produced their own business partnership.

"I'm pissed."

Khairro laughed at him in a foolish manner. "This is the very first time I heard that line from you. What makes you mad then?"

Hunt did not answer until he reached his table and was able to rest on his swivel.

"Is it about your ex-girlfriend?" Khairro guessed.

He was massaging his temple when he heard that from Khairro. "It's not about f

Franzy." He spit lazily.

Khairro's brow arched in curiosity. "If it's not your ex, then who?"

"It's a different woman." He said shamelessly. Well, it's his friend who he is talking to now. He doesn't think he has to hide it when Khairro can guess it right soon.

Khairro stood up and raised an applause for him like a goddamn i***t. "Woah! You just got home to move on about your ex-girlfriend and now I will find out that you're infatuated with a different woman? Bro! You're so cool!" Khairro must be thinking that he's awesome, that's why his friend reacted that much.

Who wouldn't be surprised if you just had involve to a break up with the person who he loves the most over the years?

He took some yoshi and lit it. Putting it in between his lips after. "Geez, I can't even understand myself. Seems like everything turned out to be hazy for me."

"Hmm, hazy because you're confused or is it hazy because you couldn't accept the fact that you've moved on?"

Hunt just, "Tsk" at Khairro. Before gliding his swivel towards the wide glass wall. "You dared to judge me when I'm just a man who's being honest to himself." Hunt mumbled as if he was sulking.

Khairro joined him and picked a stick of cigarettes. He was standing beside Hunt and watched the city together. They look like they have the same thoughts.

"I don't believe you're honest bro. You aren't faithful too, you know!"

Hunt frowned at Khairro's words. "Look, I didn't mean to offend you. But I guess, Franzy's reason for leaving you behind was about your reputation towards women." and truth to be told, Khairro turned out to be more serious.

"You've known who you are, and it's not a thing to be questioned by me again. When you're in a relationship, you shouldn't indulge with any other woman or man because it might lead to a conflict. Neither one of you could understand or the other mistook it. It's just as simple as it is but difficult to manage. Especially you."

Hunt is confused. What is his dear friend telling him? "Are you telling me that it was my fault that we broke up?" now he sounds displeased.

Khairro laughed awkwardly, "You don't mind?" He thought Khairro was serious, damn with this asshole for tricking him into putting such an attention for a useless subject.

"Get lost. You're useless." They were just conversing about his problem towards a certain woman. How did it end up on Franzy's?

Khairro pouted and acted as if he was a lost child. "Why are you being harsh to me, uncle?"

Hunt raised his fists and Khairro ran away from him to avoid being hit while laughing his senses out.

"I'm not an uncle, asshole! You dared calling me one when it's you who looks like a f*****g uncle! You know what, just leave and instead of wasting your time teasing the hell out of me, why not chase your ginger and your twins?!" Hunt bombarded Khairro who's still regaining his senses from laughing

"With this face of mine? Nah-uh, you can't just accept the fact that I had the better looks than you, bro!"

"Accept my ass! You even look like s**t to me, yet you still have the guts to compare your features on me? Just fvck off bro. We're not on the same level."

At that lone office room, the besties are fighting over their looks and physical features. Reporting how women drool for them, crawl for them and sacrifice to them.

Hunt's secretary even had enough of their noise, pushing her to leave her place even though she's just occupying the place in front of the president's office.

"Is that really my boss?" She asked herself unbelievably while punching the floors number she will be heading

"Give up already, Hunt!"

"Dream on, Kangaroo!"

"What did you say?"

"Deaf!"

"I'm not deaf, I heard it! You repeat!"

"Lol, I told you Khai... You're no match to me in terms of teasing so don't start with me. Look at you, impatient and annoyed. Haha!"

Khairro's eyes widened at his presumption, and was about to counter Hunt. When Hunt's phone rings. Making the both of them stilled for a second before racing towards Hunt's table.

Obviously curious of who's the caller was. "Who's that?" Khai asked when they are both looking at the unknown number written on the screen.

"I don't know..." Hunt trailed as he had no idea.

Because of Khairro's teasing, Hunt was able to forget his problems. And Khairro was glad that his friend's attention were transferred to him, he did that because Hunt's face couldn't be fixed nor can be drawn well.

He was just being a good friend here. Helping his impatient friend.

But who's more impatient is him, if they were to be compared. Hunt is patient, hard-working and a jackass when they're together and conduct foolish tactics. For example, toying some random girl, or pranking their male colleagues.

How many years has it been since they get to bond this way? Three years?

Khairro elbow hit Hunt, "What are you waiting for? Answer it so we will know the damn caller."

Hunt glared at Khai darkly, "I just want to remind you, I am the boss here."

"Blablabla! It might be you who's the boss here, but you're too dumb to find an answer for a very simple problem." Khai might be impatient, but he doesn't give up easily

Hunt shook his head and tapped the answer button immediately. While Khairro click the loud speaker button in order to hear his conversation.

Hunt eyed the annoying Khairro. 'Since when did I launch a permission for this guy to touch my personal thing?'

"Uhm... Hi... I-it's me..." The jaw of these annoying gal dropped upon hearing a very soft yet sweet voice!

It was her! The one who he was waiting for!

"I'm sorry if I contact you so late. Uhm... I was busy and... I ran out of load." The girl sounded like an innocent angel! Despite being nervous and stammered. She stand out on both of the men's ears! And it made Hunt's system to dwell!

Just by hearing her voice, his inhibitions vanished like sand being blown by the calm breeze of air.

"Who is that?!" Khai asked but didn't mean to be loud. Pushing Hunt to end up the call immediately and strangle his annoying friend on the neck.

Hunt is sure that the girl was able to hear Khairro's voice. What if... Krizzia would think him as gay?

"Fvck! I c-can't bre-eath bro!"
