Chapter 34
Writer's POV
Spain.... 4pm.... Airport.
The plane lands and all the passengers rushed out... though they were in accordance.
"Welcome back, Mr Knight" Solomon (Andre's driver here in Spain) greets as Andre steps down.
Andre simply nods and checks his phone if there's any missed call or text from Debby.
He sighs when he sees none.... Phoebe stands next to Andre with their luggages.
"Mr Knight, your car is ready!" Solomon informs him and takes the luggages from Phoebe.
"Hmm" Andre hums.
Solomon leads the way and Andre follows sluggishly.... they arrived at the car, some of Andre's security men are waiting there. "Mr Knight!" They chorused at the sight of him.
He nods... Solomon puts their luggages in the boot before holding the door and Andre enters the car.
He rounds the car and rushed to the driver's seat.
"Mr Knight, to your hotel or your penthouse?"
Andre does a little thinking...
"Hotel"
Solomon nods... turns on the ignition and set the car on the road.
****
A. K hotel....!
All the waiters and waitresses stands on a straight line, their manager walks around them.... He check every little details.
Like if their uniforms are neat and well ironed... check the waitresses makeups
"You.. you.. you.. you!" He points at a few girls. "Step forward!"
Six girls steps forward. He looks around and also points out some waiters and they step forward.
"What is this on your face?!" He questioned pointing at the waitresses makeups. "I told you yesterday, the president is coming and you should be on your best behaviours!"
He points at the waiters torn uniforms.
"I made it clear yesterday.. no heavy makeups... no unkempt uniforms... but what did I get today?" He yells in their faces. "Go now and hide yourself in the kitchen until the president goes back to New York... or your job and my job here are over!"
They nods frighteningly and rushed somewhere.... the manager sighs and check the others, he nods in satisfaction at their appearance.
"So, you guys will welcome the president and James will serve him"
They wear confused frowns on their faces.... murmuring in group of twos and threes....
*Why james?*
*Why not Dora?*
*Yeah, she's beautiful and smart*
*Yes, yes, I'm sure the president will like her service!*
*Right, Dora is the right choice*
The Dora smirks as she heard everyone nominating her.... she's being working here for two years and she's always aim for the president. She deems this as a perfect opportunity to get him.
The manager clears his throat and got their attention.
"The president never lets any waitress in his suite... which means James will be serving him!"
Nobody grumbles no more, but Dora wasn't happy.... just then someone came and whisper in the manager's ear.
His eyes grows wide and he claps his hands.
"Everyone.. to the entrance now! The president is here!"
******
"Shit!" Andre curse as they drive into the hotel..."How did these reporters know checking in today?!" He sneers at Solomon.
"I... don't know, sir"
Andre groan and falls back on his seat... he glares at the reporters as they run towards his car.
This was the reason he didn't go to his penthouse, he was thinking they'll be there.
"Sir, should I turn the car?"
Andre closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.
"No! We're already here!"
"Yes, Sir!" He said and stops the car outside the hotel.
Andre's security men rushed to his side and block him away from the reporters.... but these reporters keeps fighting to get to him.
Andre got off the car and head towards the entrance of the hotel... these pesters called reporters are quick in blocking his way, despite the security men efforts to push them off.
*Mr Knight... the fashion cup is in two days, are you here to watch it?*
*What do you think about CHIC participating this year?*
*We heard a shocking rumor.. that you're already in a relationship back in New York, is it true?*
*Who is the lucky one?*
*Mr Knight, please say something*
*Mr Knight, over here, face the camera!*
*Tell us Mr Knight, who is the lucky lady?*
Andre decides not to may any statements... He continues walking... from behind someone link arms with him.
He frowns and turns.... It's Olivia. He grits his teeth and sent Phoebe a very harsh glare.
Phoebe is confused... She planned everything and didn't spot Olivia anywhere, how come she's here now? Click... Click... Click!
The reporters begin to take endless pictures of them.... Andre and Olivia!
Olivia smile brightly and waves at the camera.... Andre tries to pull his arm away but Olivia had it in a death grip.
*Mr Knight, is she the lucky one?*
"Of course!" Olivia replies the question.
Andre snaps his neck towards her, he leans towards her ear and growled lowly. "If you wanna live... stop your nonsense and correct the mistake you made just now!" Olivia simply smiles and turned to the reporters.
"We've been dating for three years now and we'll soon get married" she turns to Andre whose eyes held anger.... anger he's fighting to keep in check. "Right, honey?"
Andre smirks and nods... he slowly unlink their arms and holds Olivia's twist in a very tight grip.
He twist her hand and all the reporters gasped loudly as they heard the sound of her bones breaking.
He faced the reporters.
"Livestream my speech!... Olivia Thompson and I, Andre Knight, have nothing together! Nothing romantic is going on between us... If there's anything between us, that should be hatred! I'll never be with this gold fucking digger!" Andre sneered.
Olivia glares at Andre as he made his speech... She grunts in pain and tries to withdraw her hand but failed.
Andre twist her hand again and she screamed.
"Let me go!"
Andre smirks and lets go..... she falls face flat and some of the reporters snaps her embarrassing moment.
*So, Mr Knight, who is almighty lady that capture your heart?*
Andre clears his throat and a smile appears on his face.
"Her name is Debby Ryan!"
*Wow! This is the first time you smiled at a camera, Mr Knight... Does it mean that you are truly in love with her?*
"Yes! Very much in love with her... She's my life!"
*Debby Ryan? Why haven't we heard of this name before? What is her family background?*
Andre decides he's answered enough questions for today... He turns to Olivia.
"See a doctor for that! And I don't wanna see you anywhere near my hotel room!" He gestures at her wounded arm.... and pass her a final glare before walking inside the hotel.
The reporters all turned their attention to Olivia.
*Now that Mr Knight, rejected you publicly.. what are you gonna do?*
*Mr Knight said there's only hatred between you... what did he mean?*
Olivia angrily got up and support her broken arm with the only good hand remaining.
She eyed the reporters angrily.
"Fools!! I told you to interview Andre not me!"
She winces in pain. "I regret wasting my money to get you fools here... scram!" She yells at the reporters.

Debby's POV
"Debs, Debs, Debs!" Anna shouts from inside her room.
I almost drop the spatula when Anna jumps on my back... I knock off the bowl of flour on the counter as I was trying to keep my balance.

"Anna!" I called her name in a scolding tone.
She jumps off my back and blinked innocently.
"Sorry, I was just too excited to show the trending news!" She exclaimed.
Trending news?! Isn't the tending news about fashion cup?!
She scroll through her phone with a broad smile.
*Youngest billionaire, business tycoon is no longer a bachelor!*
I stared at her in confusion... What does that have to do with me? I'm not a billionaire yet, so I don't need to know about any billionaire for now. *Youngest billionaire, Andre Knight....*
Ok, hearing Andre's name caught my attention.. I drop the spatula and gave Anna a listening ear.
*..... richest New Yorker finally announced his relationship status!*
*Shocking! Daughter of billionaire, Thompson Timothy, rejected publicly by youngest billionaire Andre Knight!*
I rolled my eyes, why does she only read the headlines... I need the full gist!
Though the last headline made me scoff... Just this morning they were sucking faces, now he's rejecting her?
"Hey, Debs, there's a video!"
"Play it!"
She nods and quickly clicked on the play button. We watched how Andre publicly humiliated Olivia and tells the media what their relationship status is.
I couldn't help the blush that appears on my cheeks when he told the media I'm his girlfriend.... Professing his love to me with the whole world as his witness. Even though, they don't know me.. at least now I know I have accused him unjustly.
That photo must really be a set up... It could really be one of Olivia's plan.
Wait... Why didn't I think of this before? I guess it's because I was too jealous to think straight.
"Awwwn! This is so sweet... I wish I have my own Andre!" Anna fangirl.
I'm feeling guilty now for not trusting him... I should call him.
Then I remembered I broke my phone.... I rebuke every spirit of jealousy!
"Debs, you see? I told you not to believe that photo.... it's Olivia's plan all along!"
"Yeah... give me your phone, I wanna speak with Andre"
She nods and hands her phone to me... she takes the spatula and continue from where I stopped.
I dialed Andre's number.. ring... ring... ring.. ring... Andre didn't pick up. I tried a few times he still didn't pick up.. so I decided to call him later.
I sighed. "Anna, are you done packing your stuff for tomorrow's trip?"
"Yeah... oh, I almost forgot, Lucas is spending the night here, so we can leave for the airport at the same time"
I nod... it's better that way.
"What about you? Are you done packing?" She asked me.
"Yeah.. since I left the mansion, remember?"
"Oh! Right!"
The door bell rings and I rushed to get it.. since Anna's cooking.
I opened the door and Lucas is standing outside with his luggage... I open the door wide and he steps in.
"Debs, you are here too already?" He asked and gives me a brief hug and kisses my forehead.
"Yeah... don't wanna be late tomorrow!"
He nods... I shut the door and walks in with Lucas's arm around my shoulders.
"This place smells like heaven... what are you girls up to?"
"We're making homemade pizza"
"Wow! Pepperoni?"
I rolled my eyes.
"You wish!"
He chuckles and leaves his luggage in the living room then head towards the kitchen with me.
"Well, well, well.... the famous, soon-to-be richest and most handsome model is here... let's welcome, LUCAS CRAIG!!" Anna announces.
Lucas and I shared a look then rolled our eyes... what a drama queen she is.
Lucas stomach growls loudly and I and Anna's eyes turns to him.... he blushed and smiled nervously.
"I'm a bachelor after all... nobody to cook for me"

"I'm still waiting for Debs to be ready" he said.
I simply laugh it off.
"Let's go watch some movies until the pizza is ready!" I suggested and he nods.
Writer's POV
Spain... A. K hotel..!
Andre steps out with his towel wrap around his waist... he sits on his bed and check his phone.
He saw a missed call from Anna and quickly calls her back.
"Anna!"
There's a moment of silence... shuffling sounds are heard and a voice whispers....*it's Andre!* "Anna?" He called.
Another moment of silence... then he heard footsteps like someone's walking.
"Hey, Andre... it's me!"
He smiled broadly at the voice he heard... the voice he's being missing since his plane too off.
"Angel... you finally reached me... how are have you been? I have been trying to call you but couldn't get through... are you ok?"
"I'm fine... I just broke my phone that's why you couldn't get to me"
He frowns a little.
"You broke your phone? How?"
Debby laughs lightly and shakes her head, then she remembers he can't see her.
"I was trying to make something to eat.. I didn't watch where I was going and step on it.... so, it broke" she lied smoothly.
She didn't wanna tell him the real reason she broke her phone.... it might breaks his heart that she didn't trust him enough. "Ok, get another phone tomorrow morning!"
"No.... I don't have money to buy a phone yet, you haven't paid my salary, remember?"
"Oh!"
"So... how is spain?"
"Fine... it's just boring without you here.. I miss you!"
Debby blushed... she wonders why he's suddenly becoming.... romantic?
*Debby, the pizza is getting cold!* Andre hears Anna called.
"You haven't had dinner?" He asked her.
"No, I was about to when you called"
"Sorry, Angel.... better get back to your dinner, I'll call you tomorrow"
"Ok... take care"
"I love you!" Andre said.
Debby blushed deeply and quickly ends the call.
Andre dialed phoebe's number and she picks at the first ring.
"Hello, Mr Knight?"
"Order a new phone... the latest model and sent it to my mansion tomorrow morning"
"A new phone?"
"Yes, my girlfriend broke hers!"
"Yes, Mr Knight!"
"Also, tell Solomon to come to my suite, I have a job for him"
Phoebe stays silent for a few seconds.
"Er.... Mr Knight, the security men won't let him enter"
"Why is that?"
"Em... you're in a presidential suite... it's the hotel's rule"
Andre groan. "Fine! You get your ass here!"
"Yes, Mr Knight!"
