Billionaire's Secret Lover

Singing at the bar

After that, we both went to the game center which was in the middle of the town. We played for a long time there. It brought back our memories from childhood when we used to play at both of our houses. Though I used to go there as I lived in the orphanage. BUT Spencer had always been kind to me. He was not the best boy on average just like me. Somehow we got along and since then our friendship started.

The evening has fallen by, next we planned to go to a fancy restaurant to eat. It was a Chinese restaurant. I took the window seat and he sat in front of me. '' What you you like to eat?'' he asked while looking through the menu in hand.

'' Whatever you like as I am not picky about foods at all unlike you ''' I said while grinning. '' You never change, do you? the same as ever '' he said with a sigh '' guess I will order noodles along with some fries then ''. '' Got ya ''.

'' It will take time for the food to arrive I guess '' he looked at his watch '' till then let's talk shall we ?''. '' Talk about what? '' I asked. '' Talk about the time after you had gone away from ROM that primary when a new family had adopted you. You never contacted me after that but I hadn't forgotten about you, I thought that we will meet some way or another '''.

'' How is that family? are you doing well with them?'' he asked with a worried look on his face. '' You are the same as ever always worrying about other people after they had adopted me ...well I was beginning to get used to the environment around me. But along with the ted to understand that they can't take the place of my real parents after all. Cause they were selfish people who only used me as a tool cause they needed a successor to inherit the wealth of the family ''.

''' After achieving that goal they stopped caring about me whether he was doing well ot not about my condition nothing at all. Nothing made them worry about me. And because of that, I started studying like crazy so that I can leave that home and have a home for myself. And after graduating well I applied for work and that made them angry, and we had a big fight after that. Then I left home after getting the job '''.

'' Then why did you transferred from there ?'' he asked. '' That was because of the harassment done by the seniors in my other workplace. I haven't told anyone about it but the other guys there used to tease me like a girl. You see that I don't get angry easily that's why they told me that I was a woman. And like that started their bullying. But I wasn't angry about it until one day one of the seniors in my department spread the rumor that I had spent a night with my senior but that was not true at all. After that what followed gave me more of a shock '' I let out a sigh.

'' What? please tell me about it '' he said holding onto my hand to support me. '' You know I had a girlfriend, we dated for only one year though. When she heard about that fake rumor she rejected me. She said that we can't date anymore and she had found someone else other than me. And this was something I could not take anymore ''.

'' I gave into despair and transferred from there. I could not face myself after that. So, I decided to move to Paris and I was right about it. Now I met you after all these while I am happy with it '' I looked up at him. He was about to break into tears.

'' Ryan, you know...your story is so moving that I can't help crying. You have suffered a lot, didn't you? but don't worry now you are here you won't be lonely at all. I am with you. Tonight we will drink and forget about all of our worries. Where is your home though? is it far from here ?''.

'' No thirty minutes by walk, what about you?''. ''' One hour I need to catch a bus or taxi ''. '' But if we drink then will you be able to get back home? '' I asked. '' Well....then. I can stay at your house for the night. I can stay there can't I ?''.

'' Of course, we are friends after all ''. '' Thank you, Ryan ''. BY then the food had arrived. We started eating. I have to admit the food was good. It's been a while since I ate outside most of the time it was homemade food after all I could not use the money as I liked.

'' Now I have a proper job I won't have to worry about it at all''. After eating Spencer paid the bill then we will go to a bar. After wandering around for a while we finally found one. It was quite an old one. But big and luxurious.

I took my seat along with him. There was some big crowd there and they all seemed impatient. Even though we were waiting for a while no one came to us to give us a drink. I thought it strange Spencer and I went to the counter to ask about it.

Then, a man who was standing there looked at me strangely. Then came up to me. '' Excuse me, can you sing? '''. I was shocked. '' What? ''. '' Yes, can you? I mean a little bit will work too.... can you? someone who always sings here is just missing today and if he doesn't sing all the customers will get angry please will you sing? '' asks the man.

'' But I ... how can ...I ?''. ''' Go for it Ryan, did you forgot about your nickname when you were in the army? '' Spencer encourages me. '' But that was long ago when I used to sing after that I stopped singing. Now I can't sing properly '' I tried to make him understand that.

'' But mister you have such a nice voice you just have to make the lyrics work out and your make-up will make them fall for you don't worry '' assured the man. '' But....all of a sudden singing.....I stopped singing after my parents passed away how can I start singing again ?''. I thought,

''Please do it, for this one time and I will pay you too it won't be for free '' begged the man. ''PLease Ryan '' begged Spencer. '' After looking at their faces I had to give up. '' Alright, I will sing what do I have to do?''

' Come with me to the green room I will do your make up '' said the man dragging me into the bar. There were other people with worried looks. The man who took me there said to them '' I have found a perfect replacement for Mark ''.

'' Don't be silly no one can replace him, This show is a flop '' '' No don't worry I have this man he will sing in place of him ''. They all stared at me. '' Do you think it will work?'' asks the other man. '' Something is better than nothing. YOu take care of the people over there and arrange the show. I will do his make-up and present it in front of the people. Alright ?''.

'' We are with you take care of everything here are the outfits choose whatever you want '''. '' Alright then.... ''. '' And you the one who came with him what's your name ?''. '' He is Spencer ''. '' Alright, Spencer you can go outside and wait for him. I don't anyone to stay here ''.

'' Good luck Ryan then I can't wait to see you on stage ''. '' Thanks, I wonder how I got myself in this trouble though ''.

Then without my noticing,t man who looked like some make-up artist dressed me up like a genuine girl. Even I was surprised myself. He handed me the lyrics and I had to memorize them in ten minutes. Thank god the song was quite a one which I can sing without any hassle.

'I haven't sung in all these years I hope I can sing properly. And now after all the crowd had arrived I was walking towards the small stage at a steady pace. All the musicians were present there a man with drums and a man with a and a man with the keyboard sat in the center of it. All the spotlights and people in front of me were making me feel quite nervous. Then among the crowd, I could see Spencer rooting for me. As if saying '' you can do it ''. That reassured me. I sighed then inhaled some air.

I looked back at my bandmates. They all smiled back at me. '' And now our new singer will sing a song for you she is Rion.. give her a warm welcome. '' said the bar owner. They all shout at her yelling to welcome me.

'' I am not a girl though Anyway. I was about to start singing putting the mic closer to me. Then I noticed someone there among the crowd who was sitting peacefully. It was none other than the CEO of my company the billionaire hot boss Louis Vincent.
